Random BSOD And Boot Failures On New Computer?
Nov 13, 2011I have been having random crashes after setting up a new computer. At first the computer crashed when an external hdd was connected to the pc, but now it happens at random. When the computer restarts I get this error: chainloader/Bootmgr - error 15: file not found and my hdd is missing in bios. Also i have seen this error at startup: The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking, but i haven�t done any overclocking. To make matters worse my net browser sometimes crashes and i get this message: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered.
I have windows 7 x64 OEM OS installation is two months old and i haven�t reinstalled Hardware is brand new.

Aug 21, 2012I recently got a used computer from a friend and I have discovered that the clock is always set to 2009-08-07. The clock cycles from 4:02 AM- 5:02 AM and it resets itself. If I try to change it then the computer becomes very slow and laggy, however, the mouse is not. I have run my anti virus to see if it is a virus but there was none detected. I suspect it might be something to do with my motherboard.

Windows 7 Time Synchronization?
Jun 24, 2010I have just switched from XP to 7 Home Premium and I really like it, however I have a question regarding Time Synchronisation. With XP it always told you when it had last been synchronised, whether the synchronisation was successful or not and the next scheduled synchronisation. With Windows 7, there is no information. I was going to post this thread last night but tried the Update Now button on Internet Time Settings and the information appeared in Date and Time-> Internet Time, (Like it used to in XP), so decided not to post. I have just realised though that if you restart the computer later on, this information disappears. Is there any way to keep this information from disappearing? The only reason I ask is with XP, sometimes it would fail to synchronise, but at least it would inform me so I could try another Internet Time server or manual update.

Apr 20, 2012I have desktop that is less than 2 years old and it is having two problems: First, if I step away from the computer for a few minutes and come back to the computer, the screen is black and none of the keys will wake up the monitor. Also, I am unable to turn off the tower, even when holding down the button for 10 seconds. The only way to turn it off is to unplug the tower. When I plug it back in, I get everything back on the screen just like it was before I walked away.
The other problem is that the system clock will not keep time. This just happened a week or so ago. Whenever I manually update the sync, it resets, but won't keep time for long. From reading other posts on this forum, it seems that the CMOS battery may be an issue. Since the computer isn't that old and isn't used constantly, does that still seem reasonable? Is that normally covered under a warranty? I have never had a problem with other computers.
Computer Clock Keeps Resetting Back To Earlier Date
Dec 13, 2012my OS is Windows 7 64-bit. Lately, whenever I start my laptop, the computer clock at the bottom right hand side keep resetting back to 10th January 2008. Also if I do an immediate restart, this problem does not occur. I have to then manually change the computer clock.

Oct 16, 2011I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 17R (N7110) that was on sale at Costco. It arrived on Thursday, October 13. However, from the beginning it doesn't always start up correctly. About 4 times out of 12 it got up to the "Starting Windows..." screen, but the 4 lights don't come together to form the windows logo (that's the startup animation). Each time I did a hard reset, and then it would ask if I wanted to run Startup Repair.First time: I think this was before I even installed any of my own programs. Tried running Startup Repair... which failed to start up, and I reset again.
Second time: Immediately following the first, I decided to run Windows normally without Startup Repair, and it worked.Third time: I decided to try Startup Repair again. It went through this time, and when prompted to try a System Restore I did.Fourth time: ...apparently that didn't work, because it happened again. This one happened when I started it for the first time this morning, 10/16. I noticed that the Seagate Drive was attached when I started it this morning. I did another System Restore.Fifth time: 10/16. Pressed F8 and tried to start with Boot Logging. Not sure if ntbtlog.txt recorded the failure, or only the following time when I tried to boot in safe mode. (Safe Mode did work the one time I tried that)
Windows 7 Install Failures
Jan 20, 2013I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional Edition onto a Doctor's machine (currently Vista) and the machine absolutely will not allow for a Windows 7 install, 32 or 64 bit.When I either do a clean install, or an upgrade...the machine will error out or go to a black screen with a blinking cursor and will not progress any farther. Windows Vista however will install without an issue. The Windows 7 install will not complete so I can't boot into a safe mode and see if it is a driver issue.

- I have tried multiple Windows 7 Pro install disks built form an ISO (32 and 64 bit). I tried more than one in case my install disk was corrupted.
- I have tried an official 'Dell' Windows 7 CD...same issue
- Ran a full Hardware diagnostic...no issues
- Changed hard drive in case hard drive was corrupted...replicated issue
- Can uninstall and reinstall Windows Vista with no problem.
- I tried installing Windows XP for giggles and it bluescreens with a hardware/software error.
- The doctor had a Windows 7 upgrade CD...so I reinstalled Vista and tried to upgrade...same issue.
- There is a hardware warranty on the machine, but Dell wants he doctor to upgrade to software warranty before they will address. Ran hardware diagnostics with Dell on the phone, they concur it isn't hardware related.
Sata drive in the machine, so I have read for 'compatibility' settings...but the bios version this machine has...I do not see an option for that.

Oct 19, 2012So I've just got myself a Crucial M4 256GB and want to move my existing Win 7 x64 installation off my HDD and on to my SSD.I've done all the preliminaries in Diskpart and have the drive marked as active. The last step is to copy all the files across (rather than use cloning software) with Robocopy.However, even in an elevated command prompt I'm getting 'Access is denied' errors on the important stuff.I've tried this using the Windows 7 install DVD and within Windows Vista x86 (the HDD is a dual boot with 2 partitions; one containing 7 x64 and the other Vista x86).
View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Multiple USB Device Failures Across PCs
Apr 26, 2012I have been building my own PCs for 20 years. Just upgraded my main home office PC to Win7 64 bit a few months ago - no major issues until now. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed my Magic Jack USB dongle was dead. No blue light, no nothing, just a brick. The weird part is that I first plugged it into my wifes PC (also a win7 desktop) and also a win7 laptop sitting in my office room. Same behavior. No reaction at all, windows didnt make a peep (it should have launched the magic jack installer, which is built into the dongle) and no blue light.
OK, so fine, stuff does "fry" once in a while. So I wait for the dongle replacement. When it arrives, I plug it in. Silence. I try it on the other machines. NADA. NO REACTION, just like the first one. I try their support chat again. They finally after 4 hours of doing the same things over and over again gave me essentially the boot by telling me to unplug the router (which of course meant that I had to end the chat). Of course, no improvement. As unlikely a sit would seem, I somehow had two dead magic jack dongles, one of them brand new. That to me was borderline impossible. But wait it gets worse.
I then notice that ONE of the 2 external HDDs I have is dead as well. But all of them still works fine. Also, a couple other USB devices work fine still. and of course I have tried every permutation of USB port and hub or not and try all the ports and on and on. So again, I have a situation where SOME of my USB devices dont work (so far 2 magic jack dongles and an HDD). No power, they are not detected at all by win 7. And this is on 4 PCs in the home. All win7. But how could 3 devices fail for no reason at once?
Finally, I also then noticed when trying to do a skype call that my logitech webcam is dead. Same behavior, and it had been working fine. Without even thinking, I order a new webcam. I am now up to 4 "dead" USB devices, and remember these are all "dead" and have the same completely lifeless behavior on all 4 home PCs (all are win 7, 2 desktops, 2 laptops), and again all of the PCs do have working USB devices attached also, so it isnt a complete USB failure. The final straw was today when the new webcam came (a MS lifecam-500). I ran the software and plugged in the cam wehn it told me to and voila - said I didnt have a camera attached. Again, tried it on my other PCs - same thing.
Now I know something is wrong beyond the devices, because the odds that 5 devices all failed all of a sudden (2 of them brand new out of the box) is beyond measure. So I have been on the forums for about 8 hours now trying every variant of deleting/reinstalling USB drivers, because win 7 and drivers are all that I think these issues have in common, they all exhibit the same behavior on the same OS (on multiple machines). I have seen several other post the same issue, but many seem to be able to resolve it via a hard power cycle with removal of power cord/battery. I have tried all of this of course, no joy.
BSOD After Reboot Following Power Multiple Failures
Aug 4, 2012Following power failure, my HP Pavilian tried rebooting, but was interrupted due to multiple power failures. On next full reboot, it went to BSOD when I logged into my Windows profile. On subsequent reboot, Windows offered to do a system restore. I restored it to a previous date. After that restore, the computer would allow me to open my profile, but went to BSOD when I tried to open Outlook. I am now operating in "safe mode with networking" but perepherals (e.g., scanner) and some applications (e.g., Outlook) do not work. Files from SF Diagnostic are attached.

Persistent Hangups & Failures To Boot Windows 7, Priority Changes?
Dec 28, 2012HPE-400f Pavilion has been crashing to black screen with cursor with problems booting windows 7. Was getting BIOHD4 error code, then BIOHD3 -- Warning: No Active Partition. Installed 2 spare hard drives to alleviate crowding but problem continues. In troubleshooting have noticed the boot-up priority order keeps changing, so that the HDD group is not first, and also so the main - OS C: - hard drive is not on top of the list. Correcting these problems allows windows to boot up just fine, but then random crashes or bootup failures continue (constantly).Have taken everything out and reconnected, done a clean install from HP disks (reformatting and wiping the HD), system repair, virus scans, etc., yet problem continues. How can I fix the boot-up routines so the computer keeps them as they should be and doesn't keep rearranging them on its own thereby causing Windows to hang up?

Possible To Disable Windows 7 Clock?
Feb 4, 2012I'm interested to know whether its possible to disable the system clock? We all know applications and websites can get access to our time zone, etc. I often use anonymous browser clients such as TOR & JonDo to protect my online privacy. For example, I might be set an IP address in Russia, but live in America. The thing is - websites can still access our time zone on the computer so they will I'm not in Russia but actually in xxxx state in America. I don't want to change the time to something random as I've heard this can destabilize the computer and its applications. So is it possible to disable it? If not - is there a browser configuration to block access to it? I did attempt running it under Sandboxie but that doesn't work either.
