For about two weeks, all music and video on my computer has glitches in it - stalls briefly then starts again. About the same time I'm noticing halting in the cursor movement - on games. Stalls then starts.
I have posted previously about my computer starting and then stopping and doing this continuously with no beep.I tried replacing the hard drive and this made no difference. One thing I notice is the orange reset light is not on and only flashes on when it turns off.
The only way I can get my computer to start is to cut, then restore power.Then I get the beep, and the Windows introduction graphics start showing up.Then the machine abruptly shuts down and the green led blinks 3 sec on, 3 sec off. The next time I cut and restore power,I may get a screen that offers to "restore". That option may or may not work.If it does work, the computer finally boots and acts normally.Or I might get a screen giving me the option to repair or start normally.Choosing to start normally usually works.What do I need to do?
For example, when I start he computer and the login screen pop up, there is a sound comming, alltho, I only hear about a second of it.To move on, It's the same in everything that includes music, like videos, mp3 (in this case Winamp) games and streaming media.The sound in every way starts after about a 2 seconds from that I press play.I have never had these issues before.nd yes, I have all the latest drivers available, disabled the buildin soundcard etc.Intel Core i7 930X58A-UD3R-Rev 2.0Asus Xonar Essence STXSamsung SSD 830 128GB
I just found out you could change the sound when windows starts . I heard one clip with a dragon roar than a person says welcome.. I thought it was awesome. I was wondering if there is any siteI could go to to listen to other clips.
the sound crashes randomly, and any videos also start lagging, (both Internet videos and windows media player videos,) at the same time. it occurs any time, sometimes half an hour from when i started the computer, sometimes after 6+ hours. the only thing that solves the problem is to reboot the computer. i installed a clean install of windows, but it still crashes. the sound works fine when it's not crashed. i always have conversations in skype, maybe that has something to do with it?

I think that Windows might be disabling my sound device during gaming because it thinks it is idle. I don't know if this is the exact reason but after much testing have come to this conclusion.
Anyway, the problem is that while playing some games (for example Borderlands, Civ 5) the sound will be fine but after a while playing the sound will cut off completely. It seems to occur when I am playing a game for more than an hour although I can't be very specific. If I exit the game and try to play an MP3 etc in WMP then the program just behaves like it's trying to do something in the background and won't actually play the file. There are no system sounds or any other sound at all.
This doesn't happen in all games, for example, when I play Audiosurf then the sound plays as normal no matter how long I play. This is why I think it may be a Windows issue thinking my sound card is idle and then turning it off because when I play Audiosurf, the game plays my MP3 files and so presumably Windows knows my sound card is in use but when I play any other game that just uses the game's own sound files/effects, then Windows isn't recognising this and after a certain period of time is then disabling my sound card.
Does anyone know of a solution for this or has come across something similar? I have an external sound card that is connected via USB (Line 6 Toneport UX2). Let me know if you require any more system specs, oh I'm using Win 7 HP 64bit btw.

Please can someone help me with this as it's driving me mad and when gaming online and chatting to my friend through Skype, the sound will suddenly just go off. While he can still hear me talking into the mic, I can't hear him or the game's sounds/music and he has to resort to typing me messages in-game.
my sound works everytime i start my computer up but after a few hours it stops working on Internet and vlc/foobar/media player but when i hit log off, the sound works again (the logoff sound even plays.)
I have a standard 3.5mm output jack on the back of my motherboard,whenever I change the jack, e.g. take speakers out, plug headphones in, the sound stops, usually when i'm using itunes, or bbc iplayer. Sometimes this can crash microsoft messenger as well.I have to restart the application for the sound to work again.
This is a recently developed problem, as I've been playing Saints row the third and skyrim the game crashes after about 30 min. Not every time though. like 1 out of 3 times I play. The game will be working great (no lag or drop in frame rate) and it just up and closes to the desktop. No crash report or any other form of notification of what happened. I looked at the event viewer and I wasn't sure where to look in it but I looked in windows logs->applications and I found this error around the time of one of the crashes:Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.I'm new to this forum but I entered all of my pc info on my profile so I think you would be able to view it there.
when i'm trying to play flash content(Internet mainly) my browser (firefox, chrome) at one point says not responding. if the hiccup lasts longer then sound and other programs are also froze. at some point everything works smoothly. i've checked my memories with memtest86 for one night - no errors. also hard drive is checked with chkdsk and no errors were found. s.m.a.r.t is makes me worry about my hdd:
also event log(administrator) gives some warnings about very long saving time for files(25 ++ seconds)
When I want to turn on my computer, After pressing the power button, the lights and fans start but not the computer itself. I need to turn off (by holding the power button pressed) and on several times until finaly the computer starts.
I'm a newcomer to the forums, but I've been having a problem that's been plaguing me for a long time. Whenever I am transferring a large number of small files of maybe when I am installing a game, for example, my system starts hiccuping and fulfilling simply tasks such as opening Microsoft Word take a lot longer. The processor usage remains pretty low, and it hardly uses more than 50% of my available memory.I have bought two 1TB Seagate HD's two days ago and mounted them under RAID0, for I was considering the problem was a faulty HD. The performance of the RAID is where it should be according to HT TACH, but today after installing Armed Assault 2 the same problem happened again.My system is overclocked to 3.7GHz, and I've tried running everything under vanilla BIOS configuration and the problem still persisted
Starting about two days ago (Friday - October 12th) my laptop has been experiencing what I can only seem to call internet "hiccups"I will easily connect to the internet upon starting it up, as usual, but after attempting to browse the internet or use any online game or application, it takes several minutes to load before telling me I have no internet connection, all the while it is showing I have excellent 5 bar connection in the bottom right next to my clock.After experimenting, I decided to use the command prompt to ping google using the -t command so it would continually ping it.This showed that during a "hiccup" period (When my internet isn't working but shows it's working), I only get packets back about every other time, while the others say "Request timed out"So it is showing that I am literally connected every other second. I theorize that this is why it doesn't show me disconnected in the bottom right.I've tried reinstalling the drivers, restarting, restoring, and anything else I and several of my friends could think of to no avail. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening.
my computer start giving me blue screen error. It's a recurrent problem, but it happens only when I'm playing games, altough it seens to happen with all games, it happens more often when I'm playing World of Warcraft and Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, since they're the ones I play most. When the system crashes, the blue screen shows no file names but the log when the PC resets shows that BCCode: 7f / BCP1: 0000000D, don't know what it means. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. I ran out of ideas for solutions, tried an OS reset (I was on XP and formated it to install 7), reinstalled all my drivers and tried all kinds of forums, looking for a solution, but nothing happened.
i would like to if its possible on windows 7 to run a bat each time computer starts from HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun for example of from startup or its just not possible because of the uac ? i dont want to use task scheduler
I just got a new computer, custom built nothing on either hard drives, i have a 1tb hard drive and a 64 gb SSD drive. I have a brand new windows 7 oem version, I start my computer up and it gets stuck on a screen.
I've had my desktop PC in for repairs 5 times for dropping into a slow running state. It was HPs top of the line 2 years ago and has plenty of horsepower. It runs fine for a few howers. Then, it starts taking 20 to 30 minutes just to open a folder. Boot up takes 30+ minutes. The Geek Squad seems to think mother board. They've run all the diagnostics and cleaning programs. They eliminated the hard drive, too,
I have faced this problem recently, my computer starts boot slow and load folders, icon and internet pages slowly during startup. When I bought this computer I did not face any problem like this, it was running smooth and fast. I am using CCleaner to clean up my temp files and registries, but why it still runs slow?
I noticed that when I shutdown my computer through windows I can turn my computer on just by holding the right mouse button than the usually start button on the tower. Is this under Windows 7 64 bit home features? Because I can't find anything on google about this feature.
For about a week now I've been having issues with my computer just randomly lagging. To fix it I have to restart it. I recently just got back into wow and thats when I noticed it happening. Im running a 590 gtx, i5-750, 8gb ddr3 ripjaw ram, p55-sli MB, Prosilencer 950watt psu. I didnt have this issue until wow, but even stopping wow it kills my frames. Dragging browser screens lags to. Im not sure what it is. Everything has been fully updated as well. GPU is on the latest drive, I've installed every windows 7 update thrown at me. My OS is win7 ultimate - 64bit.
My computer freezes many times when ill start it up and get to desktop. It wont take any commands after starting and ill have to shut it down by turning power off. It seems that when ill start my computer in safe mode and then ill restart and go back to normal mode it works normally. All these began after 2 latest updates.
This problem has started recently. Moreover, new software and drivers have not been installed. When I put my computer into sleep mode, it immediately restarts itself, and when it restarts, it produces the �Windows Did Not Shut Down Properly� error.
