hey messed around with the computer and got the printer to work for a few days then it stopped working again. We decided to buy a new printer from HP thinking that would solve our problems. So I uninstalled the old software for the first printer and tried to install the new software for the new printer. I thought it would be an easy process but it didnt work so we once again had to call HP and ask them to set it up for us. Anyway, we got the printer working and that's where our trouble started. So I woke up the next morning and fired up the computer. It said that the computer did not shut down properly due to a driver and and went into the start-up repair process. After 5 min or so the computer was back to normally and working. As the days have gone by we keep having problems with the computer shutting down after long periods of non-use and saying that the computer didnt start up properly. And now the start-up repair has failed and says that start-up repair cannot repair the problem automatically. I get this response.I am thinking this problem may have been caused when I uninstalled the old software or installed the new software for the printer or its possible that we may have a virus
I started using duel montors and I was getting tired of my OS restarting automatically when I am not home or away for a small amount of time. I saw a video on how to stop this from happening by disabling the restarting feature for windows when the PC crashes. But I am not sure if this is going to hurt my PC.
why why PC restarts from hibernationautomatically, I put it into hiber before I went out and when I came back 4 hours later it was all booted up and running
I wanted to format my pc so i tryed to download windows 7 ultimate because i didnt had the cd. After I opened the setup and I installed the new windows. Showed up the menu that normally shows up when you install a new windows, then it deleted my files, and I set the time and that stuff and the computer restarted. After the restart didnt showed up the bar to put my password and directly entred the user and the pc started to restart over and over again.
My computer is randomly restarting and I'm not sure what the problem is. It has happened throughout the year but it stopped for a really long time, about 7 months, and now it is starting to do it again. [code]
so my computer is starting to randomly restart and I'm not sure why. I thought it was my video card and switched to the integrated video card and pulled out my other one and I still get it. I tried a memtest and got no errors also.no heating issues at all. speedfan showed nothing overheating. ( I have 4 fans installed) now the problem I'm wondering is a MB short or the PSU. I tried enabling BSOD but it just reboots. it just started happening today.
My computer is spontaneously restarting, it seems to correlate with playing games.I use a 32' Samsung TV plugged into my GPU by a HDMI cable, my monitor commonly displays the resolution when switching to a game, this is usually the point in which the computer restarts. Here are my specs:
GPU: GeForce GTX 560 TI CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor - Quad Core @ 2.8 Ghz RAM: 4.096 GB DDR3 Motherboard: Asus
I encountered BSOD attack as I was restarting my pc. I am not able to run the SF Diagnostic Tool as i cannot start my pc and if i try to run it in the safe mode or Directory Services Restore Mode then the explorer freezes.(Yes, I disabled my antivirus before running it in the DSR mode) Meanwhile, I have this detail.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:BlueScreen OS Version:6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
i was playing minecraft when suddenly y computer freezes and it begins to restart. at that point i thought maybe: "oh, minecraft crashed my computer". but little to my knowledge it was worse than that.I have an ASUS G50vt, and it has always run pretty good and i have the rare problem, but nothing this bad.i can boot in safe mode so i deduced that is might not be the hadware then i thought that it could be java, so i uninstalled minecraft and all files related, then i went to uninstall java but i realized that i cant when in SAFE MODE.ive tried the javara thing and still nothing and i even made it to where my computer wont restart when it crashes.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 with 4 gig RAM and 64 bit system. When I restart my computer, it tends to take it around 5 to 10 minutes to actually shut down. It sits at the screen saying shutting down, and eventually does but when it starts up, it also tends to take a bit longer than normal and then windows browser gives me an error and restarts itself and then tells me that there was an unexpected shutdown. I've tried glancing for issues to no avail. I've also noticed that sometimes my USB ports stop recognizing devices but usually comes back upon restart. I've tried updating drivers but everything seems to be up to date from what I've seen. I use McAfee antivirus software which hasn't picked up any viruses as well.
ever since I reinstalled windows 7 a while back Ive been having problems with my computer randomly freezing up and then restarting. It usually does this when I am surfing the net or watching a HD video 720p or above. Sometimes just before it restarts it will mention something about reference memory. I notice my computer also restarts when I leave it sit for a while but it almost seems random.
I have made a task to restart everyday at 06:30.The lid is always close and the computer wont sleep for that, but when I wake up I went to the computer and the computer was off... I am using .../shutdown.exe /r /t 15 in a batch file, so the tasks starts the batch file.
I just installed MSI Bios from Live Update and now it is on a restarting loop. It's about to go to the login screen then blacks out for a few seconds then makes this 2 second beep which it has never done before this update, and goes to windows error recovery and giving me two options: Launch startup repair (recommended) or start windows normally. I tried starting normally but it just loops and launching the startup repair doesn't help
Been snooping around these forums forever, and have finally run into a problem that I couldn't find an answer to.
To start from the beginning:
I have a Dell desktop.A couple days ago I tried loading a game from my start menu, and it said something along the lines of "Can't load, folder doesn't exist". The game was in my D drive (where most of my games are installed), and when I went to check what was up my D drive wasn't in "My Computer". This is when I got my first uneasy feeling that something might be going down. I dismissed the issue as a "I'll figure it out later" and continued to surf the internet/play a game installed on my C drive.
I'm running win 7 64. When I turn the comp on it keeps restarting right whe it's at the "welcome"'screen and it just keeps booting.
Im able to boot in safe mode but not with networking- I get a blue screen if I try. I have Malwarebytes installed, ran a full scan in safe mode with no error results. I downloaded two other programs that people suggested: hijackthis and adaware, on my friends comp and saved them to an external drive bit win wouldn't let me install them.
Whenever I want to install a program, my computer takes forever to show the window that guides you through the installation.For example, I download Firefox, Double-click the .exe installation package and then nothing happens for literally 4 or 5 minutes. Eventually the wizard installation window will open and allow me to install by clicking Next etc. But why is there such a delay for the setup window to initially appear. My computer never did this when it was brand new.
I sent my computer into my local repair shop telling them that it freeze's and such. They ran a diagnostic saying that my hard drive was defective. 100 dollars later. They installed it got it back. Installed all the disk and now I'm still having the same probablem. Could it be something else internally. I have a
Intel core 2 quad processor Q8300 8 gb ram Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti Asus p5g43t-m pro Windows 7 home premium
i've been told to be as detailed as i can, so i'll try and put my experience and problems down as comprehensively as possible. i'm running windows 7 (64-bit).yesterday morning, my computer took unusually long to log in. i didn't think much of it because it worked fine for most of the day besides being slow now and then when opening a program or two (the main one i recall is having trouble opening libre office).late in the evening, however, my opera browser had some kind of problem while i was on Internet. i'm not sure what i did, but it's happened once before; the video took up the entire screen, was difficult to manage because i couldn't bring it back to the usual size, and i had to close down the browser itself. when it started up again, opera was having the same issue as the last time this happened; the top and bottom of the screen had changed and i couldn't access the minimize/restoredown/close buttons. i figured i would have to re-install opera again, since this fixed the same sort of problem last time, but i tried restarting my computer just in case.
the computer took a long time to log in again, and it seemed like it had frozen. after waiting for a few minutes and seeing the loading icon wasn't moving, i used the power button to shut it off; unfortunately i noticed the icon moving again just as i did this.i started it up again after that, and it took several minutes to start up when it normally takes less than one. i think it spends the normal time booting up, but logging in takes abnormally long (it lingers on the "welcome" screen). when it finally does log in, i would get put into a temporary profile.while all my files do seem to still be present, my desktop is empty except for browsers, game icons, and a few programs. my text files, documents, folders and the like are elsewhere (but seem to still be present), and none of my programs' preferences are saved (my browser settings are reset, my instant messengers don't remember my login info, etc.). i wouldn't be so worried, but the long login time concerns me, and i hoped i could put things back to the way they were before.
my anti-virus didn't turn anything up after this began (i have spybot - search and destroy and webroot secureanywhere).first, he directed me to reboot in safe mode and attempt to use system restore. i was able to get into safe mode, but it still took a long time to log in, it still put my into a temporary profile, and there were no restore points available.next, i followed the directions here http://www.sysprobs.com/fix-temporary-profile-windows-7 up to the 2.f section. it seems that i am now out of the "temporary profile" loop, but nothing has changed except that this profile is no longer considered temporary. on my first attempt to log out and back in after following those instructions, i had the chance to log into a new "other user" profile, but it required a name and password which i could not fulfill (i didn't have a password on my usual account, since it was the only one). after logging back into this account (titled "owner", which isn't the same as my old one), that new one seems to be gone anyway. the accounts that remain are "owner" and "guest". owner is marked as an administrator, and guest is "off".
I recently upgraded my computer with a new motherboard, processor, RAM, and video card. Before I did this, I installed a second fully functional 1 TB internal hard drive just to hold the system image and my important documents. I made a system image using the native software that was available on Windows 7.To be clear, I made a 143 GB system image from my first 1 TB internal hard drive and put it on the second 1 TB internal hard drive. I also moved my important documents over to the second hard drive. (The second drive was completely formatted and turned into a Basic drive beforehand.)After installing the new components, I wiped my first hard drive, deleting all partitions on it, but I forgot that I had one more set of folders that I forgot to move over to the second hard drive. However, since I had the system image on the second hard drive, I figured that I could use that to re-image the first hard drive, pull the files, and wipe it again.Now, since the old motherboard and CPU drivers were saved on the system image, I figured Windows wouldn't be able to load, but as long as the first hard drive contained my files, I thought it wouldn't matter since I could just install the hard drive on the family computer, pull the files, put it back into my computer, and start the installation process all over again.However, when I tried to re-image my first hard drive with the image I had on the second hard drive, I got an error saying that the recovery tools were not compatible, or something to that extent.
At this point, I figured that since the system image was SP1, if I installed Win 7 on my first hard drive and upgrade to SP1, then it would be compatible, so that's exactly what I did.After upgrading to SP1, I tried to re-image the first hard drive, but this time, I used the Win 7 disk in order to do so. I booted from the Win 7 CD, got to the system image restore, and got an image similar to this:Where it says "Intel Raid 0 Volume," I had my C: drive. I assumed that the C: drive was my first hard drive, so I didn't check anything.In the next window, I was told that my first hard drive would be formatted and re-partitioned, so I said yes. When the system was preparing for the re-imaging, I got an error saying that re-imaging failed, and the system would restart.Of course, since my first hard drive was formatted, Windows didn't load, so I tried the re-image again. I didn't get the error, and it showed that the system was "Restoring disk (C: )."However, it was taking WAY too long. 12 hours into the restore, it didn't even go halfway. I left it running while I was at work, and I just came home now and saw that my system was completely frozen. The mouse pointer didn't move, and I left it like that for a few minutes. After half an hour, I held the power button down to turn it off, and tried the re-imaging again.It was going as slowly as it did the second time around, so I canceled the restore, turned it off, registered to these forums off my family computer, and here I am right now.I'm thinking that I should replace all the old parts and try the restore again, but other than that, I'm stuck as to what I should do.

Had trouble with computer in March 2011 and eventually had to ship to HP with extended warranty (which ran out march 2012). They installed new motherboard and RAM. We upgraded fan (there are 2) and took RAM from 2GB to 8GM in May 2011. Has been running great, no problems til this weekend. It will shut off like being unplugged. I can't get it to stay on very long before it does it again. I am getting the sign on screen and the desktop shows up. I can do about 1 minute of operations before it goes out.
Opened up the tower and the fans are running, nothing feels hot.
I believe it has to do with hardware, I am going to try replacing the RAM. Then checking the fans.
I have an HP Z800 Workstation with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. When I start the computer it seems to be ready in somewhere under a minute after the desktop comes on, meaning there are no spinning circles the mouse moves smoothly etc. However if I try to launch one of the programs in the taskbar, Firefox, Thunderbird, it takes at least seven to ten minutes for the program to come on and be ready. At this point if I click Start>All Programs it is completely empty with no icons or folders at all in there and will be for about the same amount of time. The Start menu freezes open like that and all I can do is to wait. And wait I do because it makes it much worse if I hold in the power button and turn the computer off because then I can usually not go past that black screen that comes on for a brief second before it goes on the desktop. I have very few things that are active in msconfig so I have no idea what's going on and why the computer takes so long to start.
Why is this. Like 10 minutes plus and it still says recycling. It should only take a second. Is it bad to let it continue at its own pace or should I restart the PC and try it again?
I recently purchased a new PC and it was working very well the first few days. I eventually installed a power source and video card from my previous computer into my new computer, and I began to have issues. When I boot up computer, I will see a solid underscore for about at least a minute before it finally boots up. Previous to this, it would boot up in under 10 seconds. I installed an Antec earth watts 500 and a nvidia gts 450. I updated the drivers. Other factors: Installed avg free, malwarebytes free, installed a couple of games and some programs like MSI Afterburner. I scanned my entire system with both of the security programs listed earlier. I checked my connections inside the computer and everything is snug and secure. I couldn't see any issues.
I have windows seven RC1(32 bit) and I get a BSOD when my computer works hard for longer periods of time. I do not have this problem with my vista partition. For example if I do a 30 mins skype call or play a game for 20 mins I get the BSOD. However I can surf the internet and listen to podcast for hours and have no problems.
