I am new here so apologies for being a newbie. I have a mid ranged gaming tower from ncix. That's about 7 months old. Its a 64bit windows 7 with 12gbs ram and 1tb hard drive.I was playing Starcraft with friends earlier today when suddenly the computer restarted during the match and was unable to boot up again after the sudden restart.It hangs at a black screen with the blinking underscore.

It hangs on start up; it gets past the Bios but stays at the Windows Logo and says "Loading Windows" until I am forced to shut down. Here are my specs:
EVGA 780i mobo
3.0ghz intel duo-core processor
4 gigs of DDR2 RAM
1 TB seagate HDD
1 gig of video (Gforce 9800GT 512mb SLI)
So my computer was working perfectly fine until this happened. However, this has happened before! This same exact problem happened before, so I figured it was the hard drive so I got a new one(the one I have now).Fine, it worked for about 1 month. Then this happened... again. I do not know what the problem is. Like I said in the description if my computer does get past the windows logo and I log on, after about 10 minutes of running I freeze and have to force shut down. Then I am stuck back at the Windows Logo... I have also tried to insert the Windows CD itself and try to repair windows, but even then it still won't get past the windows logo.

A friend asked me to take a look at her laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite L775 with Windows 7 Home Premium. The computer starts fine until the green progress bar finishes loading. After that, a cursor appears and can be moved, but nothing else loads. F2 loads BIOS during startup, F12 loads a boot menu, and every other F key (other than F8) loads an OS selection screen. F8 does nothing. I've also tried booting from a restoration disc. The pixelized progress bar loads (slowly, as is usual when booting from a disc) but then the normal boot process continues with the same problem as before. I can't even get into Safe Mode to try and troubleshoot anything.

I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it - the OS is installed on a 64GB Kingston SSD drive. When I boot up the PC it sits at the "Starting Windows..." screen it will stay that way for probably 2 minute then you'll see the colored orbs come in and then Windows loads no problem.Putting the OS on a SSD i figured it should be incredibly fast - I mean I have Ultimate put on several other computers with HDD's and it loads faster.I'm using an ATI Radeon HD 5460 (i think thats the model) with drivers that have been fully updated. That is the only expansion slot being used.

I have an Acer AX1301, and when it boots, the startup repair screen comes up.The startup repair loads files, and then, sometimes, I can select input, but then it just hangs on the blue splash screen with the bird.I have left it for up to 24 hours, but it never goes to the next step.Safe mode doesn't work, and I have tried doing the repair from a Windows 7 recovery disk. No good. The first time I used the disc, it got to the point where it was searching for Windows, but seemed to hang on that.Also, if I press Alt+F10, I can get to the Acer recovery, which has 2 options, one which will completely re-install everything and clear the drive, and another that will retain user data. If I do the user data one, what will I lose on the drive? I have my files backed up, but will I have to re-install my various programs and preferences, email settings, etc., or will all of that be retained?

I have an HP laptop with Win 7 Home Premium. When I boot with my new Wacom Intuos3 tablet plugged in (USB), the system hangs after the Windows logo loads. (Dark blue screen). I have to do a hard reset to get the computer to restart. Windows boots fine with the tablet UNPLUGGED. The tablet works if plugged in AFTER Windows is loaded. I have tried all the available drivers for this tablet. Changing the drivers didn't affect the function of the tablet or eliminate the hangup at boot. Wacom says the issue is not with their driver, but with how Windows is loading the services. I have turned off "tablet pc input" in Services; "Wacom tablet service" is turned on. (Wacom tech didn't think these services conflicted but some had posted the suggestion to turn windows tablet pc service off.) Although I can use my tablet, it's a real pain to have to unplug at each reboot.

I've recently upgraded my computer with an ASUS P6P67 Pro, Intel i5 2500K, Corsair Vengeance 8GB and Corsair TX650 The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.The installation of hardware went fine, I used my WD Raptor 64GB as system drive and connected my 2 other drives.Maxtor 250GB and Samsung Spinpoint 750GB. (they will be replaced eventually)The installation of Windows 7 also went fine, no problems at all. When it was installed I could see all harddrives and I could browse them. But after I installed the drivers from the DVD from Asus and restarted the computer it hangs at the Windows logo waving. It just keeps waving for hours.When I disconnect the Maxtor and Samsung drive, it boot up correctly. I've only tried to connect them to the Intel SATA Controller. I tried to switch between the connectors but it didn't boot up.When the drives where disconnected I could resume the configuration of Win 7 and I ran Windows Update to install SP1 but still the same problem when i tried too connect the drives?I reinstalled 2-3 more times, but no. Then I changed in BIOS from ACHI to IDE on the Intel SATA Controller and reinstalled again and now it works?I updated everything in Windows and restarted it several times and it boot up every time. But I wish to use ACHI, since I'm planning to run RAID 0 I've used the latest chipset drivers from Intel and IRST as well.I need to clarify that the problem begins after the installation of chipset drivers.

my windows7 x64 will not boot completely. I get the welcome screen, with a continuous whirling circle or, sometimes, i get to the desktop, but no icons or task bar. I can't get any response from control/alt/delete to get to task manager. I have easy access to safe mode, and everything there seems normal. I have run AVAST, Malwarebytes, and a couple of other antivirus programs from safe mode, with no virus or malware identified. I have read every post in as many tech sites as I can find, and nothing seems to work. I have already tried going back to earlier restores, and am out of them.
I need to backup all my work files and reinstall Windows 7, I guess. I'm concerned that I will not have the drivers I need when I do that. I have a backup Macrium system image, but it's a year old, the external drive it's on clicks like crazy, indicating it's going bad, and I've got a LOT of work on my machine I don't want to lose. I've already beaten myself severly with a rubber hose for putting off backups and restore disks, so save that...

win 7 hangs on startup and freezes or BSOD 0x000000d1 within 1 minute usually. system runs fine if I boot to safe mode.no serious hardware or software changes around the time it started happening (that i recall) I didn't use my pc much for a few days and then the first time i noticed (around June 7th, 2012) I just logged in and there was a popup saying something like windows had recovered from an unexpected shutdown and the system was really slow and then it froze. Makes me think maybe a power outage corrupted something (i'm not on a UPS) or a windows update went badly. i tried to update several drivers in safe mode but none were succesfull. Catalyst Install Manager says: "Failed to load detection driver"sfc /scannow reported no violations perfmon /report gives me...."Error: An error occured while attempting to generate the report. The system cannot find the path specified. "My oldest system restore point says June 7th, 2012 so i did restore but it still has the problem.I built the system 1-2 years ago and haven't re-installed the OS since.

I just installed a retail copy of win 7 on my laptop and have been experiencing some issues. At first everything worked fine but out of the blue my desktop/folders have not been auto-refreshing. Whenever I try to delete or create a new folder I have to manually refresh to the folder in order to view it. When shutting down my laptop it takes 5+ minutes and when my desktop is loading after booting up the laptop it takes several minutes for everything to load and for the win 7 chime.
Finally, it won't allow me to update. When I try to use the windows updater it hangs for a while on "creating restoring point" (which may be normal) but then permanently hangs on installing update 1/16 at 0%. If I try canceling the update nothing happens and even when I try to shut down the laptop it attempts to install the updates but hangs on update 1/16.
From researching these issues I've realized that the auto-refresh problem is not uncommon and has something to do with a network. This may be unrelated but these problems only started to occur when I was transferring pictures via a USB stick.

I've just did a clean install of Windows 7 to my SSD 2 weeks ago.
Recently, abut 4-5 times a week, my computer will hang at the Windws 7 logo screen. the part where the logo glows but it stops there. I tried the startup repair after I forceshut the computer, but no results.
I tried sfc / scannow but there's nothing wrong. I read that doing chkdsk on a SSD has no effect right ?

So after managing to get windows to repair itself: Boot Manager missing. I restarted the computer and now it hangs on "Starting Windows". This happens when trying to boot from CD/ DVD and the HDD. My Windows 7 install disk has no scratches and I can load it in another computer. Also I can boot off other CDs (like Linux perfectly).

Computer posts, then checks hard disk RAID status (Healthy), then a white blinking cursor appears on upper left corner on black screen, and hangs there forever, UNLESS i put in a Windows bootable CD, then based on my boot priority order (CD ROM, HD) it reads the CD, then it displays "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD...", for which i don't press anything, and the computer proceeds to boot Win 7 OS correctly. So basically it doesn't boot unless i just have a bootable CD in tray.

I was shutting down my laptop last night and there was a program (Adobe Reader, I think) that caused it to wait before shutting down. I left it assuming it would eventually shut down. I pushed the power button this morning to turn the computer on, and it says "resuming Windows" and then goes to the screen that says "Logging off". It has been hung up on that screen for over 30 minutes now, so who knows how long it did that last night when it was supposed to shut down. I can press and hold the power button to get it to power down, but when I press the power button again, it starts the same "resuming Windows" stuff all over again. I tried tapping the F8 button when it was restarting, but no luck. I can't use my computer at all, This is a pretty new laptop (Dell), so this is especially frustrating. Not to mention I have LOTS of work to do and I everything is on that laptop.

[SOLVED]couple of curse words and a sfc /scannow seems to have fixed the problem :DMy HDD has some bad sectors on it (I already ordered a new HDD because I think this one is going to fail soon) sometimes when I boot up in my BIOS after the POST I will get a HDD not detected error if I cold boot it goes away and I am presented with my GRUB (I dual booted Win7 & Linux Mint). Is it possible that these random hangs are caused by my HDD?Mod Edit:Removed DDS log, not applicable/allowed in this forum, issue resolved by OP

System:
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
Service Pack 1
Lenovo Thinkpad Edge
Intel ® i7 ® CPU 2.10 GHz
4GB of RAM
This laptop will work fine when it is booted up and for ~30 minutes after that. Then it starts to get slow to the point where web pages refuse to load and it takes a good 2-3 MINUTES to open up Task Manager. CPU usage is not high at all when this happens. I have run Memtest86+ as well as Seatools for Windows and the diagnostic tools from the BIOS to rule out a hardware problem. I have backed up my files and reinstalled Windows, only to have the same thing happen. Scans with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials have come up clean as well.

Having an issue with my laptop and gaming, the games should by no means cause it to hang like this. Even older games like Half life will hang, I will be playing along and the game will hang, or freeze for a few seconds then go back to normal. This is kinda frustrating especially while playing online.

me as the most of you is using Windows 7 with so much fun! I do have a little problem,don't know why actually,this is why i'm here asking for help. First of all here is my hardware configuration:
Asus P5Q PRO (latest bios,waiting if Asus is ever going to release the EFI also for my motherboard lol just like happened with P5Q Deluxe,anyway).
In bios options if I select AHCI i get faster performance and system responsiveness,but from time to time,it could happen anytime,i get complete hangs up so i have to hard reboot my pc. I tried EVERYTHING,also Intel sata ahci latest driver for my motherboard and nothing works. This happens with both 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7,and it doesn't seem to happen if it's set to IDE (which definitely makes my computer less responsive). Thanks in advance to anyone that will help me
I'm beginning to thing that it's the hardisk getting insane,it's the oldest hardware component in my pc now.

I 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.

Background Info: Dell laptops (E6420,E6410,XPS), Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit, Connected to AD
The laptops are intermittenly hanging at the "Please Wait" screen right before the alt + ctrl + Delete option appears. The time it hangs varies. Sometimes it can hang for 2 minutes, sometimes it could hang for an hour. So far the only pattern we could find is that it happens mainly while the computers are not connected wired to the LAN and on wireless. If we toggle the wifi off during the please wait, a few seconds-mins later it finally shows the option to login. I set the NLA service to manual startup (network list service was already set to manual as well), and it stopped doing it. I enable it, and it starts hanging on message again. It also works fine in safe mode (both networking and without).
Any suggestions or ideas? Would leaving the NLA service to manual cause any major conflicts? Are there any timeout settings we could verify?

I bought this Fujitsu laptop for less than a year. Its only for my school work. It takes forever to bootup, startup and it sometime hangs when I open up a program or typing.For the bootup, it takes very long time on the window logo, after that the black screen, followed by the welcome page with the loading cursor. Each of this process take a long time. For startup, its not so long but its still quite lag. For the opening up of program and typing, everytime I open up my visual studio, it will take a long time to show up and even if it showed up, it will be "not responding".So I will have to open it a second time before I can start using itWhen I am typing my codes, it will randomly hang and show that the program is not responding. I am still able to move my cursor though.
