Yesterday I installed Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 for a graphic editor friend of mine to do some work. Everything installed with out an issue then Started getting BSODs one after the other after the other. This machine was troubleshooted before but Im back again. Im attaching the *.DMPs for analysis. I removed the program and Still had about 6 additional BSODS.

I cant get my Windows 7 to start up. I'm not sure if this is my PCs problem or windows. It starts up, gives me the ASUS screen where I can go into setup (though messing around in it hasn't helped yet). otherwise it goes to black screen where I can choose start windows normally or launch troubleshoot. if I pick start normally the windows logo comes up, loads, tursn black, and resets the PC. If I choose troubleshoot, it goes black for several minutes, shows the Windows 7 BG, and just gets stuck there. I'm not sure what to try to get it to boot.
I recently (about 4-5 months ago, so not very recently) upraded my system to Windows 7 64bit from Vista. Ever since then my computer has had issues where it locks up completely (unable to move the mouse, whatever sound was playing at the time loops) and a hard reboot is required in order to bring it back to order.
It usually wasn't a huge problem before, but for some reason it willl now proceed to lock-up within about 30-40 seconds of booting up the computer, after the desktop loads. I tried disconnecting my second hard-drive (I had bought a new one to install Windows 7 on, and kept the old one plugged in) but that didn't make a difference.
It seems to boot fine in safemode, but I have no idea what the problem could be.

I can take pictures of my system later tonight.My issue is that when I boot my computer, sometimes Windows 7 will get start at the Win 7 glowing icon (startup screen). When it locks up there is no HDD activity. Occaisionally, after power cycling the desktop a couple of times it will get into the windows desktop. Sometimes I can do a few things but then it will lock up and either be really slow or it will lockup, then unlock, lockup, then unlock.When I boot into safe mode with networking everything seems okay and I don't experience any lockups. Now all of this never used to happen. I recently moved (for a job) and a company had packed up and shipped my desktop PC. They had packed it really well. But before the desktop was shipped everything seemed to work fine. When I unboxed it and setting it up in my new place is when it started behaving this way.
Ever since i changed computer case, PCU and GPU on my computer it started to lock it self.Either the screen goes black and the sound is on for like 5-10 sec or it becomes like thisand then i locks it self, and i have to press the power button to restart it.I've been trying a lot of different things to try to solve it but i cant fix it :SSome of the things are disable C-state in bios, disabling audio. Cant even remember all the different things i tried :S[CODE]
I tried to google for software which locks WHOLE computer for period that I can decide before locking.Ideal program would be : I can make hotkey--and when I press hotkey computer will shutdown and I wont be able to use my computer for X time I configured.Basically I want to disable my computer fully with hotkey. And I wish there are'nt any way to bypass (at least easy) this lock.If someone knows program which is exactly what I described or something to that way
My computer consistently crashes while downloading a Torrent (Don't patronize me about the merits of downloading, I'm more worried about it being a hardware fault.)
My specs are: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6750 @2.66Ghz Asus P5E-VM HDMI mobo 6 gb Ram (2gb Patriot DDR2-6400, 4gb Ballistix DDR2-6400) GeForce 9500 GT (1gb DDR2) 80gb Maxtor HDD (I just ordered a 1tb Seagate Constellation to replace this)
I bought this computer from a friend a week ago, it had no HDD, so I used dban to wipe the one from my old broken system. Also, this system has been in his garage for maybe two years, and I live in Washington so we've had the full spectrum of temperature.I am not getting BSOD, the system simply locks up and has stayed there for 20 minutes until a flipped the back switch on the console. If a sound was playing through the speakers when it happens, the sound stalls on the current note. I only have about 11gb of space of this HDD and it seems that it only happens when I cross the 10gb of free space line.
windows 7 intel core i7 860 asus p7p55d-e 2x 1 tb hd 8gb of ram radeon 7950 vga card
so it started about a month ago, i would be playing eve online or minecraft.. and all of a sudden.. i would get a blue screen of death OR a computer lock up.. bac then i had 2x radeon 5770 cards... i replaced that with a radeon 7950 (amazing card btw) computer still keeps locking up, so i run memtest to see if its the ram, it passed, . so i turn off the pc. the next day... i get a startup failure in win7, i tried to repair it many times but it wouldnt.. so i took out my SSD hard drive and bought a traditional spin hard drive.. so far..only 1 blue screen .. something to do with ATi.. so i stopped running catalyst control center (i like to keep an eye out for my vid card temp) as well as speedfan (just in case) doesnt run anymore... so now my computer doesnt randomly freeze... ever.. HOWEVER.. when my computer is under heavy load (i run 8 clients of a game called EVE Online).. it will freeze.. no mouse movement.. nothing...total freeze.. this also happens when i load up the universe map in eve online (i guess that only goes to people who play eve)otherwise.. computer now runs stable if i avoid those 2 things and 1 more thing to add.. i obviously had to reinstall windows 7 on my new hd so it is a fresh install?
I have an older Gateway 7811fx with an Nvidia 9800M GTS. Usually about 5-20 minutes into a game, it will hard lock, the screen turns black, and it has to be shut down manually. It is NOT temperatures as far as I can see. I'm running monitoring software, and the GPU is only getting up to 70 or so, the processor is also running cool. That being said, it used to overheat all the time before I got wise and fixed it, and I'm afraid the video card is just damaged after being run hard for 5 years. I just reinstalled Windows 7 and freshly updated my video drivers and the problem persists.
Is there anything else I can check to try to figure out what's going on? Everything seems to be perfectly fine until it hard locks; nothing is overheating.
This is for my sister's computer and she keeps telling me the computer crashes. Recently she had a similar issue where the computer screen would go black after weird artifact flashing and whatnot so I thought it was driver related, or GPU related. I swapped her old card for a new 285 GTX, but it's still doing it. Testing out several drivers as well as programs to test if the GPU is faulty it gives no clear sign that it's the GPU. I tested out the CPU as well, and the RAM sticks but to avail they're all healthy fully function parts.
I did a complete OS reinstall for her to rule out if it's any software related issues, but yet again the computer crashes. It doesn't give any errors when turning back on and acts like normal and this happens at random times, sometimes in an hour, or in a couple days. Lately it's been getting worse, and I've come to suspect it might be her motherboard, but that's just my guess after ruling out the other hardware related things.
EDIT: Oh and I got her a power supply too, so it can't be it.
I've been getting random lockups for quite some time however here is the kicker,it ONLY happens with more than 4GB of RAM installed...anything less than 4GB I am perfectly fine but anything more my computer locks up totally randomly.Random bits of information: Tested all of my RAM sticks individually and in any combination I can think of,as long as the total is nothing more than 4GB I'm fine and dandy but soon as I hit 6,8,10(Due to what sticks I have I can only go up in multiples of 2GB) I get random lockups.Lockups can happen on desktop when I'm afk and the computer is completely idle,after 2 hours of intensive gaming killing splicers in Bioshock 2 or just while I'm transcoding a movie on the fly(This actually seems to be relatively safe,does not happen often)On the lockup whatever sound that was playing repeats(The last 0.2 seconds of it or something) so it sounds like BZZZZTTTTTT no matter whatNew motherboard,new PSU and hard drives passed a chkdisk recently(Albeit with some grumbling from them about bad sectors)SFC scan completed,no problems to report with my file integrity.PSU has plenty of power for the systemJust recently installed SP1(After the problem started) in an attempt to fix it,to no avail by the looks of the recent lockup and now I have no updates pending so windows is fully updated.
Obviously checkSUR ran with no problems before installing SP1Booting into an Ubuntu liveCD and running random stressy things for the computer does not produce the same effects,it runs perfectly fine.Computer temp is high but within an acceptable range most of the timeOnce it crashes/locks up once it sometimes does the same on boot again and again till I just leave the thing alone for an hour or two and try booting it up againEvent Viewer just shows this for each event when it locks up and I'm forced to reboot it manually:[CODE]
No matter how I try to access the Icon Notification Area to customize hidden task bar icons, Win 7 freezes to a great extent. I am running 64 bit Win 7 SP1.
Under these conditions, when I put my pointer onto the task bar it changes into a hand with a pointing index finger. The Icon Notification Area will not show icons and all I get there is an interminable spinning blue circle.
The Task Manager will not correct this condition and I have to close my windows session manually with the power button. It seems something has been corrupted but I am at a loss. I have run chkdsk /f and sfc to no good effect.
I am running some 32 bit programs including MS Office Pro.
I purchased Windows 2003 and it is now obsolete. I need to replace with Windows 2007. I am a current job seeker and find Windows 2007 has many changes. Can I turn in my 2003 for an upgrade to 2007?
I 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.
I was playing through the walking dead game fine no problems then I had to go eat dinner so I paused the game (hit the esc key) and my monitor shut off and said no signal whenever I turned it back on. My mouse and keyboard also started shutting off and on and nothing I pressed (alt+F4, ctrl+alt+delete, etc) nothing got any response. So I shut off my computer booted it back up tried to play the same game again got the same issue. Then I tried to play something else and I got the same problem so whenever I launch any game my screen shuts off and computer essentially crashes. When Windows boots back up it says that it has recovered from a serious error similar to when you encounter a BSOD but doesn't ask you to send a report to MS. Also whenever I come back from the error windows for some reason attempts and fails to re-install the wireless receiver for my 360 controller. However it works fine again once I unplug and plug it back in again.
1. Uninstalling the game that started this.
2. Re-installing my video drivers.
3. Wiping my video drivers with driver cleaner in safe mode then re-installing my drivers.
4. Re-installing direct x using a setup file from a random steam game.
5. Doing a system restore from as far back as I had (April 25th)
I purchased an HP dvt6-7000 laptop about a month ago - Windows home premium 64 bit. Am using it for work, but recently it's started crashing whenever I leave the computer and it auto-locks. I tried disabling sleep but it still crashes. I called HP support and they had me test the memory and hard drive in Bios, and update the BIOS, but it still crashed.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:BlueScreen OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID:1033
Dell XPS 9100 with Windows 7 pro X64. Dell support is no help, they just keep saying it is a software issue because their boot diagnostic doesnt show any problems. It quite often makes me do a system restore before i can get back into windows after it happens. Event log says Critical type, Kernel Error. System is less then 6 months old. I have had this problem for 3 of those months for a total of about 8 times.
I've recently switched to Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device) using one Toslink cable instead of all the analog wires going from my PC to my receiver.The digital sound is amazing, CD quality from my PC is great.However, I now also receive the digitized sound of pages being loaded as I surf the web. All sound comes out digitized when loading a new page.Is there a way to stop this from happening while listening to music or course material without gong back to analog?Can I have my digital CD quality and enjoy it too!
I recently upgraded a MICRO-STAR INT'L CO.,LTD. MS-1034 0341 from XP/SP3, to Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. The laptop has a Digital Camera integrated into it. While the system was XP, the webcam worked. I could open My Computer, and if the camera was turned on, it showed in the inventory of devices. Now, with the new and better Windows 7 ULTIMATE, , as the camera says it is connected, but it isn't in the "Computer" inventory, and that is where you really turn the thing on. I have downloaded drivers out the ying-yang and get the same result each time.
While I was installing an OEM 64-bit version of Windows 7 I got the following pop-up message during the "completing installation" step:
setup.exe - Bad image C:Windowssystem32sppc.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains a error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I hit ok, and it popped up again... and again... etc. So finally I tried to cancel the Install via the standard red x routine. Upon which i received a message saying that installation cannot be cancelled at this point... blah blah"
So being stuck and unable to finish or cancel the installation, I went for the good old turn off the computer method. Then I started fresh reformatting the drive and all. I had to leave the location I was at unfortunately while it was at "extracting files 52%" We'll see what's showing when I arrive in the morning.
Now, the question(s):
What causes this message to appear? And obviously, how do I fix/prevent it?
If it's due to bad media, how do I get a replacement copy? (seeing as it's OEM and thus I am technically responsible for support as I am the system builder)
Finally, the disclaimer:
Yes, I do know the difference between OEM and Retail. Yes, I did legitimately purchase the installation media & key. Yes, I am reselling this system to an end user; it is NOT for personal use. No, I did not run the OPK prior to using this software; I did not see the point as in this particular case I am personally setting up the machine for the client (plugging it in, installing software, registering & activating that software as well as the OS, etc.) Yes, I did look on this forum, as well as others, including window's own, and all over "the Google" to no avail
During Startup, i need to click the user image to get it enlarged....and that is irritating to me......I did System Restore, things got normal...but when i installed YOUCAM 5 things became my problem....
Alright, I did a backup image in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit from a 500GB drive. I then took that out and put in a new Barracuda 3TB sata3 drive. After it was done restoring the image I extended the volume and of course it only gave me 2TB of space. So after reading a bit I needed to use Seagates disc wizard to format it to accept and show 3TB (2.79 useable) space which I did by hooking it up as an extra drive in another computer. Now my question is when I do hook it up in the new computer and put the image on again the process wants to automatically format the drive and in doing so I am afraid I will end up with the same 2TB's of space after extending the volume again.
I need to install Windows 7 on multiple computers (over 20), overwriting the original install with a customized one with added software. I would use a boot time imaging software to simply load the image but I am concerned about the license key for each computer.Could I update the cloned license information with the license I copied from each computer beforehand? Either by getting it from the documentation that came with the computer or by using a software tool to extract the key from the Windows 7 install that was originally on the computer before I overwrite it with the clone image.
I have a HP Pro 3300 Series MT i3-2100 PC. It came pre-installed with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. On the product key sticker it states 'Windows 7 Pro OA'. I have checked the 'Performance Information and Tools' section in Windows and it states that my PC is 64-bit capable.My PC was bundled with 4 HP Recovery Manager discs, but these all state 'This disc contains 32-bit software'. I want to upgrade my RAM to 8GB so would like to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7.I would like to know if it is possible for me to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit downloaded from the Digital River website and activate it with my 'Windows 7 Pro OA' product key. I am aware that a product key can be used for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations as long as they are the same version of Windows 7, but can a OEM product key of Windows 7 Pro activate a copy of Windows 7 Pro downloaded from the Digital River site? (which I guess would be the retail version.)Also, my computer is partitioned into 3 drives. C: - containing the Windows operating system etc. D: - An empty drive of about 200gb, and O: - HP Recovery Drive.If I am doing a clean install of Windows 7, is it possible to retain the partitions and only wipe the C: drive during re-installation, allowing me to move any data I wish to keep to the D: drive in advance, or will it all be destroyed and I'll need to move all data to be retained onto external media beforehand?
I bought a laptop running windows 7 SP1 with some other software already installed on it. I recently upgraded to a desktop that is much faster also running windows 7. I made a mirror of the laptop HDD. Is there a way to install this mirror onto the desktop HDD so that I can use my new desktop as if it were my laptop?
I just installed a ssd harddrive. Windows (7) backup discs ran fine. System image restore seems to have worked fine, only thing is programs are not showing up. This is my first time doing this and everthing I read, prior to, lead me to believe the programs would be included in the system image.
