Computer Not Booting / Freezing During Games / BSOD Not Shutting Down
Jun 1, 2012
Recently, my computer has been behaving quite oddly. It hasn't been booting up, but hasnt given any error messages. When I try to boot, it will open up to a black screen where the Starting Windows stuff is supposed to appear, but nothing will happen. I'll restart it a bunch of times, and eventually I'll get one where the words Starting Windows are there, but still nothing happens. If it offers me the option to load the repair program, it will open the screen that says windows is loading the files with the loading bar at the bottom, but nothing will load. It takes anywhere from 10 to 30 restarts before i'll seemingly just get lucky and it will turn on.Also, I've been freezing lately while playing BF3. My video card drivers are up to date, along with the other main drivers. Sometimes, I'll get a BSOD if I wait long enough, but it doesnt ususally happen. Also, when starting, sometimes when it says on the boot screen "Verifying DMI pool data", nothing will happen, and then it will suddenly say: Disk read error, press cntrl + alt + delete to restart.This leads me to believe that it's a disk error, which explains a lot of the symptoms i've been having lately, but I just dont know where to start the diagnosis.

Windows 7 x64 OEM HP p6754y, bought it at Best Buy early 2011 AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor, 3.00 GHZ Anyway, every time I shut my computer down, I get a quick flash (maybe 3 seconds) of BSOD; not quick enough to read any of it. It never really bothered me because it didn't affect anything I did, it only happened on shutdown. Lately, it's been happening to a full screened, pc-heavy game I've been playing. I opened up my case and dusted it out incase it was the video card overheating or something, but it wasn't that bad.

I have an Acer G7710 Predator PC that has Realtek audio on board. While playing Dragon Age and Titan Quest, the sound freezes and often causes a BSOD. It starts with the sound cracking and popping and rather quickly either freezes the system or causes a BSOD.My first step was to install a sound card. I have a basic Sound Blaster Audigy Value edition card and installed it and disabled the onboard audio.To my surprise, it freezes exactly like the Realtek one did.The odd thing is that if I reboot I can go back and play the games without any issues. This freezing seems to only occur if I start playing after the PC has been running 30 minutes or so. I have honestly just started rebooting every time before I play and it seems to help with the freezing.I have read countless forums and tried various fixes and nothing works. I have honestly thought about buying an external sound card and seeing what happens. I have read many others who have this exact same issue and cannot find a solution.

My system is a Toshiba laptop p850-05[CODE]Ever since i bought this laptop, it has been running desktop applications very fine for countless hours, but when it comes to gaming, I have had all sorts of troubles, the main problem being :1. The whole system freezes (video lock-up, nothing to do but hold power button for a hard reset) shortly after exiting games that I have played for 30mins to 2-3 hours. I can use the desktop for 0-45 seconds before the freeze happens. It mostly happens after exiting games like Diablo3 or Heroes VI.2. In other cases, in games like Skyrim or Max Payne 3, the freeze happens in-game. Max Payne freezes during the cutscenes (which often the video becomes out of sync with the audio). Skyrim freezes have been random. I initially suspected GPU overheating, but after running a series of tests like a video card stress test that ran without a freeze for hours, playing the games with the lowest gfx settings, I've concluded that overheating wasn't causing the freezes.
All my video card drivers are up to date as well as the bios.I contacted Toshiba tech support to be answered by, excuse my lack of respect here, total idiots who didn't know the first thing about computers (ie, claiming a GeForce 7800 was so much better than the GeForce GT 630M just because of the higher number). Aslo their ultimate conclusion (after speaking to senior tech support) was that I shouldn't be playing those games on my pc because it is not good enough!

i have a basic, stock HP Pavilion m8109n PC. I moved about a month ago and out of no where it started randomly shutting off with NO BSOD, most commonly when I'm watching a movie, browsing the internet, or doing any day-to-day tasks. I'm fairly familiar with all things computer, but not having any BSOD to work with inhibited me from easily diagnosing the problem. I did a clean install of Windows, but it kept crashing. I assumed this meant it's the hardware.My first thought was heat. I checked the temperatures on all the sensors�everything from a cold start to seconds before it crashed�but all the temperatures were within range, even under heavy load. It doesn't seem to crash as frequently or at all when I leave the computer idle; it only seems to crash when I'm doing something on it. But assuming the sensor readouts are accurate, I moved on. The only way to successfully reproduce the crash is to plug in my D-LINK USB Wireless Network adapter. I have no idea why this causes it to crash, as it happens with or without software/drivers installed, but it does. I figured this might mean it's the power supply. I bought a new one, plugged it in, but the crashes still happened. It wasn't the power supply.

Running Windows 7 Professional Edition x64
-Original OS was Windows XP Media Center Edition
-This was an upgrade version, which means I have to install it on top of another OS.
-Computer is about 7 years old.
-I believe I bought Windows 7 when it came out. They had a great deal going on for students.
-Never re-installed this OS.
It doesn't happen every time, but every now and then when I'm shutting the computer down I'll get the BSOD.

For the last 2-3 hours i've been experiencing random shutdowns. No visual cues, no BSOD, just shuts down. here are my specs (computer only 6months old);
Mobo - MSI 870 G45
CPU: Phenom x4 955
RAM: 12GB DDR3-1600MHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6670
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKS
PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3 500-Watt
Win 7 home premium 64bit
No overclocks, only BIOS settings changed were the voltages on my ram (over a month ago) edit: thinking it might be my PSU failing... should i just buy another one? if so what would be compatible>?
btw, eventviewer doesn't point to anything specific just says the shutdown was unexpected and i ran sfc scannow already.

I started getting BSOD two weeks ago. As far as I can remember the first time I had a BSOD was on the day I installed Max Payne 3 (I read somewhere that the some guy had also this problem when he installed max payne). There were two occasions that I got a BSOD upon starting Max Payne 3. But lately I'm getting BSOD when doing low-load stuffs like browsing with no other apps opened. I've already done memtest with 10 passes with no errors. I'm 24 hours prime95 stable. I just don't get it! I've manually set my timings for my ram. I'm not doing any overclock. Everything is on stock settings.

When I try to boot my windows 7, it fails and a blue screen appears, stating that the error message "Stop: 0xed". I try to repair windows, but it fails.So, I reinstall my windows 7. And it works fine in several days, but the blue screen occurs again. I have encountered this situation several times. Reinstall, blue screen, reinstall.I found that before the blue screen occurs, my computer shut down normally.

A little bit ago I complete reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate and ever since my computer has been freezing randomly to the point where not even task manager works. Soon after the freeze my computer will turn off. I have updates all of my drivers, did a memory test and many virus scans and they all turned out alright. It stopped for about a whole week then started up again.

I'll be playing a game for about 25 minutes then it will crash and another time where it crashed is when I leave it on all night to finish steam downloads. I figure it might be the CPU or the video card but i am not too sure.

having trouble getting Windows 7 to load. After I log in with my password it usually hangs, and I end up having to reboot the computer. On the rare times it does load, it ends up hanging (freezing) and in either case I have to manually shut it off. The only way I've been able to contact this forum is booting up in safe mode with networking.

I recently built my first PC three days ago...
Specs:
i7 bloomfield 960 processor
4x4 vengeance ram
crosair hx850 PSU
evga x58 ftw3 mobo
hd 6870 radeon graphics xfx
When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.

OS: Dual-boot Windows XP Professional x32, Windows 7 Ultimate x64. (Windows XP earlier OS)CPU: AMD Athlon 7750 x2RAM: 4GBGPU: Nvidia GeForce 9500gtHDD: Seagate 500GBWindows Xp installed for around 3 years, Windows 7 for about 1 year. The pc is about 3 years old.For the past 7-8 days, my computer is randomly restarting or freezing up. The problem persists till I restart it 3-4 times. Then it functions properly till the time it is shut down. On checking Event Viewer I saw that one of the reasons for the problem is given as 'The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start". Two other reasons which are also there quite a few times are "DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments in order to run the server" and The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AFD, CSC, DfsC"I have also noticed that after the first restart, the PC freezes even in the OS selection screen. All seems to be fixed after the 4th restart till the time I shut down. I am using Kaspersky and it is about to expire in a few days. If I remember correctly, the problem started on the day Kaspersky first giving reminders about renewing license. Can these be connected?

WoW and recently TF2 have started freezing (sound freezes as well). Sometimes the computer freezes completely and sometimes the game closes but it continues to appear in task manager. I can't close it using "end task" and when I try to restart my computer/switch it off it does not switch of completely and I have to hold the button.I am having trouble understanding why this happens. Here are some conclusions I have come to:-I am using a cooling pad and my computer is completely cold, the fan isn't running at full speed so it shouldn't be from overheating.-I have latest drivers-I have no extra program running while playing-Only WoW and TF2 cras

Now the unusual part is the manner in which it freezes, any audio sounds in the game will simply not load over, nor will any graphics that havent already been loaded up prior to where the freezing is about to occur, then about 10 or 15 seconds later it will just hard freeze, causing me to reboot. Another interesting thing i should add is i was still able to talk to a friend over Skype for a bit after it froze. My GFX Card is not over heating as i keep track of it regularly with CPUID Hardware Monitor. There is nothing in my event viewer to pinpoint if its a software related issue or not.
I should mention that my PC is a Dell. I have had a problem like this about 3 months ago and they sent me a new motherboard, which seems to have solved the problem for awhile, however the issue started to reoccur again. My theory is that this motherboard is starting to fail as well, or i need to replace the Graphics Card. Is there any other way that the cause could be pinpointed for sure?
My video card is a Radeon HD 5870 and my motherboard is a Dell Inc. 0X501H
attached is a W7F.zip of my system incase it is needed (It was asked of me last time)

Basically what happens sometimes in-game is I get either a crash where the screen goes black and then a message saying the graphics driver recovered successfully, or I get freezing up with fps drops every few seconds until I quit the application.
I haven't had this issue before I OC'd my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU from 3.2 to 3.6 GHz. The temperatures of the card are perfectly fine (it's usually around 62-67 degrees) and I also ran some stress tests through furmark, which gave me results consistent with my card's rating, and I had no errors.
I was under the impression that overclocking the CPU didn't affect the graphics card. Also, I'm 100% certain the card is getting enough power because I specifically bought a new power supply a few months back to make sure I would never worry about power issues. The GPU drivers are up to date (I even tried using beta drivers) and I've checked the card physically and got the dust out.
edit: just got another error in Starcraft 2 - "your computer has run out of paged pool memory". I have 12 gbs of ram and with starcraft 2 open i have about 8.5-9 gbs being used.

I recently upgraded my mothers computer to a dual core with Windows 7. She loves to play games and her favorite is Video Bingo in Facebook (Mesmo games). Since this upgrade bingo will freeze up after the game is completed prior to awarding tokens and asking if you would like to play another game. So far I have tried Windows Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox web browsers, cleared the cache for both the browsers and the computers DNS cache. Additionally, I have disabled tcp autotuning, removed remote differential compression, and removed IPv6. Also, I have upgraded the graphics driver. All Windows 7 upgrades are current, Adobe flash and shock wave in addition to all adobe programs are the most recent. The computer is a Dell Optiplex 740, AMD Athlon 64x2@2.2ghz, 4GB PC6400 800Mhz ram. There are other Mesmo games that are not responding correctly also. Every other App seems to work correctly and other than these issues this computer appears to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, these are my mothers favorite games. This problem doesn't exist with Windows XP.

every time i try to boot a game, the screen goes black and the system crashes. I think this may be caused by the GTX 460 that i just got. But most of the time the card boots works and plays games fantastically. Just sometimes out of nowhere the game will run but as soon as the game has to be rendered the computer bluescreen's but i dont see this because of the monitor saying that it has lost connection.
