Crashed Updating Nvidia GTX 260 / Can't Start Windows 7
Dec 21, 2011
So about 2 hours ago on my PC. I was playing WoW and had a hard crash and lock up. So I restarted my PC. Everything seemed fine. Just a mysterious crash. So I went on to updating my graphics drivers since it had been on my mind to do so. About half way into the update my desktop then crashed again. Only this time it cannot even get windows 7 64 bit to start up.Then I ran the Start up Repair program. I get a message that it cannot repair it automatically.On a history note. This PC has been pretty good to me. A few months back I had a bad run in where my RAM wasnt being read correctly and a simple re-docking fixed that. That was solved on this web forum as well. I don't know if its connected. Just a reference on history.Other then that I'm not exactly sure how to go about on fixing this. I've never had a problem where even Windows wont boot up. *Safe Mode does start up* Just not sure what to do.BSOD data is attached. I tried running perfmon / report in safe mode but I got an error.
I install the Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M in windows7 x64, but my system crash when I load 3d images, before I install it , 3d images can be loaded easily but OpenGL can not be used. I download the driver from dell site, it is for Windows vista x64 but it install on Windows7 without any error.
I have a Gateway DX4720 and was checking out how up to date its drivers are. Using Device Manager I checked out Nvidia (ver. 8.17.125896) and did the automatic internet search, resulting in my driver was up to date. However, I noted on Gateway's site that there was a Nvidia chipset driver (package 15.45) available for download. I am confused, do I need to install it or not?
i Have a PC with i7 Processor running Windows 7 Ultimate and one fine day a blue Screen dropped saying a lot of things like Windows has Crashed, Dumping Physical memory, And It isn't working since then , It says Start up repair Can't fix this Computer,Details:[CODE]
as the title says, I was just talking with some friends on skype and then the computer froze like when it's going to give you a BSOD but instead of that it just froze, so I turned it off and now the computer won't even show BIOS menu. RAMs are fine, they were tested by the retailers for 48 hours with memtest and tested by me for 24 hours (when the computer used to work).So to give you a clearly idea of what's happening, I press the power on button, there's a beep and the computer starts, right? my pc powers up but it never beeps, the CD/DVD reader works, the processor starts up, but it's just stuck there. I checked on the motherboard's user guide and it doesn't say anything about "not beeping"
i just crashed som1 64 bit lennovo laptop while i opperate a 32 bit pc dont have any windows system with me,it wont start on safe mode,and system repair has failed many times.the laptop was running on low battry and it shut itself,when i tryed to reboot it,it automaticly went to system repair which failed
How can I make Windows Media Player stop updating media every freaking time I start it up? It always hogs up massive amount of CPU power and goes into (Not Responding) for a min while updating.I only add media files to the Windows Explorer Library so I can get indexed searches. I don't even use WMP to view files or anything. Just to burn some music CDs sometimes.I've tried deleting the files from the WMP library but the next time I open it up, it scans and updates all my files again! Is there a way to completely purge the WMP library and make it not update ever? I've unchecked every option that seems to make it scan and update but it still does it.Basically I want to UNLINK the Windows Explorer Library from the WMP Library.
I have a compaq presario V3000 (mine is a V3015nr), When I bought it, it had windows xp and the ethernet and wireless connection worked well, then, I decided to upgrade it to win 7, but then, the drivers just crashed, I fixed this and everything was working well, but then, this error appeared and since that I'm unable to use wireless connection. I've searached a lot of drivers but all of them are for Windows xp, or windows 7 x64.. Mine is an Windows 7 ultimate x32
I got motherboard: Asus m2n-mx se plus. Video Card : nVIDIA nForce 6150SE (6100-430), Onboard Audio : nVIDIA MCP61 , D-Link DFE-520TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter .
My Motherboard comes with Vista drivers, but I heard that even that are creating problems for video and audio. Should I download any specific drivers beforehand?
Since a Windows update at 3 AM this morning Windows Explorer keeps freezing and i can't do anything beside a reboot using the power button of my computer. It seems to be random. It mostly happens when i open a file or a folder, right click on something or do anything involving explorer.I tried to do a system restore but didn't fix it. I'm wrting this in safe mode and so far i have no problem.
during the night yesterday my computer crashed, i can't boot it at all. keeps giving me video signal errors, but when I use a linux live dvd, everything works fine, so it is only windows7 that is the problem... I tried using the W7 installation disc but the recovery and restore functions are not working either.
On closing down, a new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit downloads 44 updates correctly and then switches itself off. On booting up the following morning, it tries to install them but fails to do so and reverts to previous installation. This has happened two days running. Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how to get round it
My netbook crashed luckly I have an external cd rom drive, and the recovery discs. How do I get the netbook working again though. What are the steps I need to take.
I just got my first computer in place i installed win 7 on it and everything went smooth, but then i realized i had by misstake installed the 32bit version..so i checked the SSD, which is the only kind of storage drive i have right now, and for some reason the installation had made an partition called system drive or something on 100mb. the stupid thing is that it was nothing on it?? windows was still on C:? anyway , after many minutes of thinking i decided to just reinstall windows over the old one and so i did. it runned smooth and went perfect, i checked the preferences of my computer and as planned i now had the 64 bit version but 30Gb was lost on my SSD? i discovered that the old windows was still there, in the windows.old folder... i didnt think about much so i'd just pressed delete...
the crash: loud noise came from the computer and it shut off, now i cant get it to work!!!!!when i start it all the lights starts and the fans runs but nohting moreand how do i format the ssd so i can use it when i've fixed the computer!specs:Motherboard: MK Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H Socket 1155, Z68 CPU:Core i5 2500K Graphic: GK EVGA GeForce GTX 570 SC RAM:Corsair 8GB (KIT) DDR3 1600MHz/VENG.

I am no expert when it comes to computers so please bear with me. My Acer Aspire laptop crashed on me. It uses Windows 7. Start up repair does not work. I have a set of Windows 7 disks, 32 bit and 64 bit. Not too sure which one I should have used so I tried both with the same results. I have tried to re-install Windows 7 again as well as repairing the Windows 7 which is already on my computer with the disks with no luck. When re-installing it gets stuck at 'Setup is starting'. It stays like that for hours. When I try the repair option it gets stuck at 'checking for operating system' or something to that effect, also for hours on end
I tried installing ubuntu on my HP pavilion dm4 today by dual booting it and keeping both windows 7 and ubuntu on the different partitions. I installed ubuntu 10.10 successfully but the thing was when I am restarting the laptop. Its asking me to choose the operating system but when i choose windows 7 it says to repair the system and to repair I should have a Windows 7 DVD. I got the system 10 days back and i had no back up of the system and I think my HP recovery was also crashed. I dont know what to do. How to bring my Windows back? The good thing was ubuntu was working good and I am using it now...
My laptop used to run on Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, but the OS crashed and just wouldn't boot. I tried using my laptop's recovery disc, but that had some problem and doesn't help me restore my laptop. I hope to format my hard-drive and do a fresh install of Windows 7. But for that I don't have an installation disc, I have a registered key for Windows 7 at the bottom of my laptop though
My mate had trouble with wayyyy too low fps in a game.W decided to install Windows 7 ultimate x64 on his laptop then.We couldn't upgrade vista to it, so we chose the "custom install" option, where Windows 7 gets installed separately and vista gets moved into a folder called windows.old.We were almost done with the install and had just passed the time and network setup, suddenly a small window flashes with the text "windows failed to complete...." we couldnt see the rest and the laptop rebooted.Then we got continually stuck on "press any key to boot from CD or DVD...".Sometimes we get it to continue and it gets stuck on "Windows is loading files". And 2 times it completed loading files and shut down instantly after.
I started watching an OTA recording with WMC7 and about 2 minutes into it WMC7 stopped. A message came up saying it stopped & had options to restart WMC or go online (which appeared to send info to MS) and a 3rd option I don't recall. I just restarted & everything worked just fine.
I looked at event logs & found this. I did a search for that ntdll.dll but could not find a definitive answer to what caused the problem. The typical comments were to reboot or reinstall software. Is there anything from this listing that tells or hints at what caused WMC to stop?
I have a 1TB HDD (internal) And its divided into 3 partitions and while shrinking 1 partition from the partition manager of windows itself .. It got hanged up..

This is the exact laptop I have, Asus X54C 15.6 inch laptop (Intel Pentium B960 2.2GHz, 8Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD, DVDSMDL, LAN, WLAN, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
This morning when turning it off, it started to update with the usual screen saying not to turn it off or unplug. I went out to do some stuff, and when I came back my laptop was turned off so I assumed the installation had finished. However when I pressed the power on button the laptop turned on, it was still how I had left it installing updates. However it seemed to be making no progress whatsoever. It was still on 1 of 60 updates. I left it for a while, but I needed to take it home and seen as it wasn't doing anything I held the power on/off button to power down the laptop to take it home. When home the laptop would refuse to boot to windows, and the screen would just go black. I tried to start the laptop in safemode, but again it wouldn't load. I performed startup repair but it said the problem couldn't be fixed. I then performed a system restore, however it also said that could not be performed. However after clicking okay, windows loaded up and prompted me to log in. Upon which I am on the computer now with no problems, a contradictory message came up saying that the system restore had been succesful. I'm now worried that there still could be some problem that might arise when I close down my computer and need to start it up the next time, in addition it is wanting me to install updates and prompting me to restart my computer. Does anyone have any advice on how I can ensure that the computer does not have the same problems again when updating, and in addition how can I make sure that there are no problems waiting in the computer to surface again and it is fixed?
I am writing this windows safe mode.Cannot get computer to boot in reg mode. Sat for 40 minutes, with message "please wait while windows configures"Am running windows 7, 64 bit home, Dell Inspiron 570 It started yesterday when it downloaded updates for Windows. After the restart, the computer screen looked strange and could not open any programs. Went to "start" and re-booted, same thing happened again. I again went to start, this time it came up with 2 errors. (wish I had wrote them down) but said something about windows cannot find such and such. (sorry) Anyway, clicked on the "X" and windows came up again, but nothing would open. Had to hard boot as the start button would not even work.Rebooted into safe mode and have tried to return to a previous restore point. Seems I don't have any. So can't do that. I did go go to the recent installed windows updates and deleted them. But will not let me change the settings as in: Don't install updates automatically. I don't know if it is trying to install those over and over again. I tried to get it to come up again with the errors, but no such luck, it just sits with the blue welcome screen, then the "please wait"
I used to try to keep all of my drivers up to date with the latest release. Earlier this year my video card died. I found out that there had been a bad driver released that altered fan operation. I think that may have been the real cause of the card failure.Since then I've wondered about that. I think if you're not having any issues maybe the best policy might be "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
After running Windows Update I hit the restart button and get the dialog "Windows is Configuring your Computer 15% Complete". Finally after a while it says "Shutting Down" with the spinning circle, but never shuts down. After 90 minutes or so I shut down with the power button.On restart I get the message Windows did not shut down normally. It only happens after the updates. Normally it shuts down fine
This is an old HP PC I have recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I have to say it has never run betterI have an ASUSTek A7N8X-LA motherboard with ver. 3.05 BIOS and an AMD Athlon™ 2600+ processorI want to upgrade to the latest BIOS that supports SSE2 instructions (for game playing purposes), however, I have run into a snag that the most recent BIOS ver 3.21 is still only XP compatible. Neither ASUS or HP are willing to provide any free support.This is somewhat frustrating as the BIOS in situ appears to be the original 2003 version. I could have easily updated this to the latest version before I upgraded the OS to Windows 7, but now it is to late.
I'm looking to update my windows 7 home premium from 32bit to 64bit. My question is, will this affect all the partitions on my hdd? Its 1TB split into D:100GB for the OS, D:200GB for games and the other E: for music, movies etc. I only ask because it would be a pain to back up everything or can I get away with just backing up the C: drive.
My main problem is I have a BD movie player that keeps reacting badly to windows updates. Yes I turned it completely off and did not have it connected to the net but somehow it found 1 rouge update that when I had no choice but turn it off it installed it. I have always hated updates but never has it caused me this much grief.
Basically I noticed windows time not updating about 3 days ago.So far I have tried 3 different Motherboard battery's and reset the bios.It only happens when i switch my pc off at the plug socket.
Any prevailing issues with the latest round of windows updates? Two weeks ago our computer running Windows 7 Premium downloaded an update and received the dreaded black screen on startup. It will now no longer run windows, offer a boot menu or anything. Today our older unit running Vista Home Premium did an auto update and we now have the same issue. Sadly with the O/S and with Microsoft "stellar" customer service. I am running Norton with all the current updates and i am sure it is not a virus.
