Jun 10, 2012Today, I was browsing the internet, while watching a stream of MLG. While suddenly my comp screen shows weird glitchy lines and the sound freezes, i end up turning off my computer and restarting it, but the glitchy screen still shows and wont startup to login screen. I was able to startup into safe mode (still with the weird glitch on screen) but the restoring and doing startup repair seems to not have fixed the problem.

Nov 19, 2011I woke up this morning to find my computer was frozen. So I forced it to restart by holding down the power button. Once it was booting back up I walked away from my pc for an hour and when I came back it just has a message saying "Cleaning up... Do not turn off your computer." It has been like this for over 4 hours.What causes my pc to go through this cleaning up phase and how long does it take?Also is it safe to restart my pc at any point if this takes way to long?

Feb 14, 2013On this recent windows update, 2/14/13, my computer froze on the "Preparing to configure windows" screen for several hours. I rebooted normally and the screen went to "configuring updates" and stuck at 67% for about an hour. I got frustrated with it and rebooted to safe mode to see if I could do a system restore and when I did it said there was no restore point back up! So I rebooted normally and now it is still just sitting on the "Preparing to Configure Windows" screen with the circle spinning. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on a Dell Dimension 2400.

Apr 16, 2012First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.
This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

Sep 24, 2011I just installed my first pc game. It is Call of Duty Black Ops (no, I'm not 12, my nephew is )I changed install path to D:Games (have user folders relocated there, thats about it, no programs ever installed on d data partition.Installation froze and locked up first time. Had to power off to get out.Second time was logged off my admin account by nephew while installing, though the install ran for a long time - should have completed anyways, after installing, it's not showing anywhere: checked box for install desktop shortcut - not there, not showing up under win start> all programs or games.Tried to launch directly from install path folder... blackops.exe ERROR says: "Blinkw32.dll missing...
1) I never installed steam or anything, could that be the problem?(I'm on different pc now, game pc doesn't have internet right now
2) Can't uninstall! Not showing up as installed program. Uninstaller in game directory won't work.There are 2 uninstall.dll ( 1 for each failed install I guess)
2a) Windows didn't recognize as a program install cause no restore point created before (IS This because I changed install path away from C:programs???)In future how do I deal with installing games to d data partition and have system trat as program install? not listed as program, can't uninstall from control panel
2b) HOW DO I REMOVE FAILED INSTALLS (BOTH).Do I just delete or did the installer likely create all kinds of entries in various other locations that would possibly leave HUGE files elsewhere???
After Alt-tab System Froze / Tried Task Manager With No Result
Jul 7, 2010The problem started when I pressed alt-tab while I was playing a game. After alt-tab, the system froze and so I tried Task Manager with no result. I pressed reset button and then I realized that the computer cannot boot Windows (I only have installed windows 7). I tried system restore, fixing boot problems using Windows 7 installation DVD but it didn't help. I don't wont to format the Computer because I have important files that I haven't backed up. Can I do anything to save the files?

Windows 7 X64 Installation Loop OOn New Computer
Nov 5, 2011I have Windows 7 x64 Enterprise installed on a slightly older mother board (Asus MB 775 Intel with 2 GB of RAM) and has worked well for a couple of years or so. I am passing this MB/CPU/RAM combo to my son's computer and have purchased an upgraded MB/CPU/RAM.I've purchased an ASRock H61/U3S3 MB, 2x2GB RAM, Intel i7 2600. In swapping out the MB, I just attempted to plug my hard drive into this MB without doing any installation/upgrade. Unfortunately, when I plugged in the hard drive and turned it on, the computer froze on startup and more specifically, on loading the file CLASSPNP.SYS. So I figured I would have to do a fresh install of Windows. I have an identical hard drive for mirroring and deleted the partition, created new one, formatted, then attempted the reinstall. I began the installation, it copied over all of the files, installed, restarted, then when it was starting it restarted (apparently prematurely). When it restarts after locking up, I receive the error: "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encounter an expected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click 'OK' to restart the computer, and the restart the installation." and so the loop goes on. I've clicked OK many times, but without restarting the installation this error comes up each time. During the final stages of completing the installation of Windows, the computer appears to randomly restart. I'm pretty much stuck and will contact the store that sold me the MB as a last resort.

Dec 14, 2011I'm on an HP laptop that originally came with Windows Vista. At some point a while back, I purchased Windows 7 online and upgraded the OS by download--meaning I don't have any physical installation discs.
Now I would like to some how recover this computer to it's factory settings, to wipe all installed programs and files, but I would prefer not to be downgraded back to Vista. Is this possible?
I don't believe I made recovery discs while Vista was installed either. Is it possible to recover the computer at all?
Computer Fails To Boot Into Windows After Sp1 Installation
Mar 10, 2011i've had some issues installing sp1 (7 ultimate, latest windows updates) via windows update when the installation fails on a few different error codes, but i have gotten it to install a few times. each time the installation finishes, i restart the computer when prompted and it goes through the update process when shutting down, then after the windows 7 splash screen ("starting windows") passes, the screen goes blank (black screen, no video- monitor displays "going to sleep" message) and the HDD light on the computer is lit solid. i've left the computer sitting for hours with no change- i eventually get Windows to boot again by using the install disc to do a Windows restore, but i haven't been able to get past this yet.

Aug 13, 2012Like 3 weeks ago the smarthdd malware affected my computer. The one where all your icons, files, etc. are hidden, gives you bogus security alerts, and then turns off the PC. Using support from the web with Rkill, MalwareBytes, and Hitman Pro. I eliminated the problem. While I thought I had recovered the computer I was wrong. Probably a day later I notice regedit would start when the computer was started and a few seconds later the computer would turn off. After turning on the computer a few times, the problem was gone. MSE is turned off. I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on, saying the system needed to restart.
I also notices the computer would notify that Windows Update was also turned off and can't turn it on or download any updates (error: windows update cannot currently check for update, because the service is not running. You may need to restart the computer). Also, when I click the Nvidia settings icon, the computer does not detect video graphics hardware. I checked around a forum and I saw someone having the same problem and was advised to set BITS service and Windows Update service to start automatic. But when I check the services.msc, those services are gone. Also, I noticed that in the Device Manager, in System Devices, 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family PCI Express controller - 0101 has a yellow triangle sign on it.
On properties, it has this status: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". So I try uninstalling MSE and installing it again, but the problem persist there. I run several scans with different anti-virus/malare and while I do find a few malwares, fixing/deleting/quarantined them haven't solved the problem. Yet, one antivirus (eset nod) wouldn't install, after many tries when it got to a driver install stage. I also try windows fix it, but nothing was solved. Also tried kapersky TDSSkiller, and nothing was solved (though when initializing, it gives an error saying that 'Can't load driver", yet it continues initializing).
So then I tried chkdsk /r in the command prompt, but it throws off an error in the second stage, restarting the scan again continuously until I decide to skip the scan. Finally I decided I had enough and tried a repair install, but after the stage where it check the programs and settings, I get the error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation". Then out of resignation I tried doing a clean install, but it gives me the same error. Later ran sfc /scannow on command prompt, and the log said that it couldn't repair DDORes.dll. So then what I did was replace DDORes.dll with one from installation disk.
Nothing was solved, and sfc scan still gives me that DDORes.dll is corrupted and can't be repaired. Later I tried upgrading the Intel graphics driver and the Intel Display Audio Driver. After rebooting the resolution of the laptop changed from 1366 X 768 to 800 X 600 as default, and now i can't increase it over 1024 X 768. Device manager shows that now both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Intel Display Audio cannot start due to error: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" Or any way to at least clean install the OS so I can get rid of this problems?

Sep 2, 2012I have a Toshiba L505-L5007 laptop and a while back the audio went out on it. After days of trying to find the problem to no avail, I was advised to try a complete factory restore because the person thought it was an OS issue. Well, now I try to restore it to factory settings but the OS hangs at the configuration screen on the 5th reboot. Is there something that I might have overlooked? I've tried scouring the internet for people with the same problems, but I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. I've also tried upgrading the BIOS in case there was a problem there keeping Windows 7 from installing. Right now the laptop will come on, and only runs well in any of the safe modes, if I try to boot it normally it'll try to finish the installation and freeze.
