I just finished my first computer build. It was working fine, so I decided to take my graphics card and install it since everything else seemed good.
I install it and the most recent drivers from ATI. When I reboot, it gets to "Starting Windows" and then restarts. Safe mode still works. In my BIOS it says the GPU voltage is 0.000, however the fan on the card is spinning.
I've tried everything I could find on the web to no avail.
I am using my iPhone to try to figure out my computer. So it is the only one I have. It is in a constant loop of windows not starting and trying to fix errors then says it can't, I can't get it to load in safe mode or anything else. I can use the box where u put in commands and found my registry hive says 0 bytes. I do not know how to fix this. And I do not have a windows disk cause it came already installed. So how can I fix this and what do I need to do or try.
I do have a Windows 7 product key on the back of my computer.
I'm having a problem loading windows as well. My computer mid use was starting to seriously lag and when I restarted it it began the dreaded system repair system restore loop. It tries to repair itself again and again and then says it can't and asks if you want to shut it down. This has happened once before and it took me forever looking thru forums to find the solution. I just can't remember what I did. I wanna say I did something with a command line. I don't have a windows disc. And I don't believe I did a complete factory reset the last time either.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 7, 64 bit, running on an HP and have been keeping pretty up to date on my drivers.amd a4 3300 processor with graphics card, and 4 g ram.When trying to use menus, the window or entire screen will seem as though it refreshes, closing the menu, i can watch the bar across the top of windows flash as if it had just disappeared for a split second and the menu is gone, leaving me to reopen it, but at a second or less between these refreshes I have to be quick on the pointer to get to what I want. It seems to happen on any menu item, including all drop downs, wether im right clicking a start menu pined item, a choice dropdown on a webpage, a setting dropdown, etc. it doesnt alwasys do this but more often than not. It seems like I can sometimes restart the pc and it will work, but it often will do it right at startup. I hadnt noticed it til I connected the VGA out AND the HDMI out to the same tv (dont know why I did it at the same time, I think to compare the cropping). Also, I used system restore to go back to before a bunch of updates and it seemed to fix it, but that might just be because the pc restarted in the process.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my existing PC with a new hard drive (WD 1TB Caviar Black), Windows 7 Ult x64, & upped my mobo to its max of 16 GB DDR3 RAM.I originally had problems after install with some of my partitions & hard drives not showing but everything worked itself out alright.However, now a new problem has cropped up, and I'm not entirely sure if its related to the original issue or if it is a whole new problem.Almost any program that I run will work for a time, but eventually stop responding. When I try to close the program, I will get a message from windows asking if I would like to end the process tree. This happens with everything, from Chrome to the League of Legends installer to Windows Explorer. If I hit yes, nothing will happen except for the "wait" cursor will appear, and my taskbar will completely disappear. It will usually catch up eventually, but I actually had to reset my computer during the LoL install, and Windows would not start up afterwards. I had to reinsert my Windows 7 disk and repair the installation.
Nothing I seem to do can fix this. All drivers are up to date, as are all Windows 7 updates. I upgraded from Windows XP, and tbh, at this point I'm regretting it.My system specs are as follows:[CODE]
I'm having a problem where windows utilizes 30% of CPU usage even when Idle.The problem starts when i open a program like games or any intensive application that requires alot of CPU load. But after closing the program, i noticed in my taskbar that windows generates and continues to use up to 30% of CPU load on other applications for example Dwm.exe (desktop windows management) but if i stop DWN.exe from taskbar, another program or service will replace it and generates the same CPU load, if i stop that another will take its place like svchost or the taskbar.exe itself getting a 25 to 27 cpu load. Its like an ongoing cycle or Loop of CPU usage, its supposed to stop after closing programs.I already have done steps i thought would clear this problem and these are:
Registry fix
ran Avast Anti-virus
reset BIOS
ran anti malware programs
ran Msconfig and disabled unwanted programs running on the background
ran windows 7 update
updated all my drivers
Summary:The problem still persist. This problem doesnt occur after boot, everything is fine with my system idle getting 97%. it only starts after i ran a program that utilizes high CPU load but after closing it, the heavy CPU load continues by replacing the closed program with another either dwm.exe,taskmanager.exe,svchost.exe..etc
My Win 7 (64 bit) computer with a Intel i5 760 CPU, 4Gb of ram and AT Radeon HD 7500 Graphics card has developed a problem with about 25% constant CPU activity and constant disc activity. Task Manager shows that this is due to the "NT Kernel and System" process, and it can't be stopped. The surprising thing is that I get exactly the same problem in Safe Mode with no connection to the Network, so what the heck is going on?

I just done a fresh clean install of Windows 7 (due to brand new WD Blue 500Gb HDD) on a PB EasyNote TS-13HR, all drivers are the latest from PB's website all Windows 7 updates done and MS Sec Essentials insatlled.It crashes constantly but can then sometimes it'll be fine for hours I suspect a compatibilty issue with HDD, but not to sure really?Below is the debug from memory.dmp - it seems to point at a registry error, which is new (older crash dumps didn't say that!)

Bit of a weird one here, I recently restored an old Dell Dimension 8250 to run windows 7 pro 32bit. It has 1gb of ram and i've heard its capable enough. The installation went fine and everything worked for a couple of days, but now any non original programs i install appcrash straight away eg. Firefox, daemon tools, utorrent.. Control panel wont let me uninstall them so i have to delete their folders and use control panel to remove them from list. Then i reinstall and it will work until a few restarts of the system.
Also it used to connect to the wireless but now it only sees my nieghbours networks and not mine which is weird as all other laptops in my house can connect fine?
constant boot problems about 70% of the time, and Win 7 launches are dicey. Sometimes the computer freezes while showing the Desktop. If all drivers eventually load successfully, then the computer runs fine after that. The problem is just in getting it up and running initially.Note that I have turned off MS .NET Framework on someone's suggestion, but I continue to experience difficulty booting my computer successful. I have run Dell hardware tests and these have all been A-OK. I'm attaching the results from running the Seven Forums diagnostic tool (including minidump) from crash.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA few days ago I awoke my Toshiba laptop in the morning, only to find it hanging up with continuous HDD activity. After a while I did a hard shutdown and tried to restart, but the HDD activity continued, and after an hour of trying, it was barely past the start screen - zero chance of any useful activity.
It performs normally in command prompt, and I can barely get it booted in safe mode (HDD thrash eventually stops until I ask it to do anything). Task manager doesn't show any unusual processes or services, but the resource monitor does show the HDD activity. Chkdsk (thru command prompt) on the X and D partitions came out fine, but on the C drive it doesn't even get to 1% and slows to about 1 file/minute. I attempted a Start Repair, but it said nothing was wrong. Tried a System Restore, but for some reason no restore points could be found.
The HDD seems to be performing OK (I'm using robocopy/cmd prompt to copy all I can to an external HDD), with only the occasional I/O error. It's possible I caught a virus, although I'm generally cautious (Ad-Aware antivirus, all updates ASAP, regular scans with this and Malwarebytes).
I'd really, really like to find a way out of this without a complete reformat. I've tried stopping everything I could in Safe Mode, but to no avail. Also tried to uninstall my AV software (and anything else that seemed to be running at startup), but was denied there as well.
so this is quite the long explanation. Today i upgraded to an i7 3770k with a asus P8Z77-VLK and a corsair H60 water block. I did not change to touch any other part of my computer. When I went to go boot BIOS posts but then as the windows 7 loading animation starts then about 2 seconds in i get an instant BSOD too fast to read and it restarts. I have tried startup repair, I have tried the windows repair disc, I tried the windows install DVD, I tried system restore(which failed error code 0x800700b7), I ran the memory diagnostic(no problems), I even went into the command prompt and did chkdsk.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor the last couple of weeks (I was just given the laptop) my friends Dell Inspiron has been Blue Screen of Death'ing on start then rebooting (loop on this) - I was able to see the BSOD when I disabled the "reboot on error" and all I get is the following: Blue Screen STOP: 0x0000007B.I cannot get into Safe Mode (same error) to get any dumps (at least I wouldn't know how)I tried Startup Recovery, Last known configuration, Restor points (many of them), Chkdsk, sfc, and bootsec but nothing seems to resolve the problem... The next step is a re-install from the Dell Recovery drive (I hope because I don't have the origial Windows 7 Dell Install CD),
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been having troubles for a month or two now and decided to finally take my woes to the internet in the hopes someone could help me, before I consider giving up and buying a new laptop.I had troubles first running Windows 7 Home x64, now I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I have a Sony VAIO laptop, 500 GB hard drive.I first had problems after running a Malwarebytes scan - I ran it overnight and when I woke up my screen was black and said "Operating system not found" or something to that effect. From then on, my computer would only boot about once in every 4 times I tried. I ran startup repair many times, and when I did get in things ran very slowly and inevitably I would get an abrupt BSOD. This persisted for a month or so. Some days it worked great, but always went back to the usual.A few days ago I bought a hard drive enclosure, got all the files off my hard drive, and totally formatted my hard drive. Then, after some difficulties in the installation, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit, because a family member had the disc for it.The computer worked a lot better at first but now again it's running slowly and I'm starting to get the BSOD! Sometimes I can use it 5 minutes before I get the BSOD, sometimes I have 2 hours.It's been hard to write this because it keeps BSODing while I was typing.I set it to not restart when it crashes, so I could write down the error messages I got on the BSOD. The second to last series of numbers is the only thing that changes BSOD-to-BSOD. Here are the codes (I skipped the middle part, which is text and all the same) for the last 4

I recently had a virus on my computer and did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. Now it seems that randomly my processes will stop responding, usually if I have a couple things running at once. I cant seem to burn a DVD because every time it will crash during it. Usually when it happens all the processes wont respong, task manager wont come up and a couple minutes later my system restarts. I have run a memtest and it turned up with no errors.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI built my own computer last January and installed Windows Vista first and everything worked fine but then I upgraded to Windows 7.In the beginning it worked great, I did get the common problem of every kind of browser crashed every couple of hours and sometimes refused to load up again but i persist and put up with it.Then over the past 3-4 months, I have been getting regular BSOD - They used to be very similar screens and i am not fast enough to jott down the error codes sadly.I maybe receive 2-3 BSoD everyday and the most common issue i am experiencing is when i play World of Warcraft - since these BSoD began, this has been crashing a hell of a lot as well. I cant get an hours play on it without it crashing with the same issue.I put it to the forums with this error log Wow Crash 2/1/13 - Pastebin.com and was told to carry out some actions to see if this could resolve the matter which it did for a very short period of time (ie a day) and then came back with its constant WoWcrashes and BSoD
The BSoD happen when im on and off the game - a lot of the time its when a lot of processes are running, ie several tabs open in my browsers, spotify playing and maybe a couple of folders open - its as if it cant handle it running.I have tried to search for my dumplogs, i was told it was in %systemroot%minidump but its empty and there are no .dmp files on my computer except warcraft ones.
I've been using Windows 7 since it was released and never had to reinstall so far.Unfortunately my System seems to have developed some issues which make work with the computer rather tedious. I have the impression that the issues are all related to a massive boot delay. Windows takes some 4-7 Minutes to boot. The masive delay starts after the logon screen. I have not been able to find out what is going on here and where the timeloss occurs. Once the machine has become usable - i observe some serious disc activity (led blinking constantly. This can go on for minutes.
I already tried to deactivate unnecessary startup programs, scan for malware. I frequently let ccleaner sweep the system.'d be very happy to see some opinions about this behaviour and perhaps find a way to resolve the issue, so I do not have to reinstall from scratch. I am aware that there is an inplace repair function in Windows 7 - this however only works with a system CD that contains Windows 7+sp1+all important updates. As I only have the original system CD I would like to avoid setting up a working boot cd.ps:[CODE]
Just got a brand new Samsung Series 7 laptop and everything was working fine until i started installing windows updates. The cpu is now stuck at around 15% load and there's constant disk activity too. I run msconfig.exe and disabled programs that I don't really use much, run disk defrag just too make sure the disk was working well. As a result my cpu is running hot (65 degrees) and the battery drains pretty quick.
