Crashing/slow After Installing Video Drivers, Beeping Inside Case
Oct 31, 2012
Recently started having an issue where once windows login screen comes up I can hear beeping coming from my case. Then once I try to login I can hear hard drive try to spin up and system will freeze every time I hear hard drive spin up (every 5-15 seconds) during login. Sometimes this persists, sometimes it goes away within a few minutes and the system runs fine but I can still hear beeping from inside the case. Other times I get either a complete lockup, a BSOD, or the computer restarts itself without any warning.
I don't have any of these issues until I install graphics drivers.
-I've tried testing memory in windows memory diagnostics w/ 4 passes it came back w/ no errors. -I tried a clean install which runs fine until I install graphics drivers(I've tried multiple different versions all have the same issue) -I tried installing a new hard drive but am still having the same issues.
I've tried to listen where the beeping is coming from but I'm having a hard time isolating it. It's fairly short, rapid and somewhat faint.

I've got Nvidia 8400GS graphic card and its latest driver, version 306.1. after installing windows 7 on my system, the driver keeps on crashing again and again after some time, when a video is played. after a few seconds a message on the task bar occurs saying that the system has recovered.
I tried to play Wolfire Games - Lugaru (i have bought the game but the demo is good test) on my laptop with Intel gma 965, or the X3100 if you prefer, and it is unplayable.
Using the included 965 driver with windows 7 RC and Beta both, and even updating to the newest version currently available on windows update, the game is unplayable. The mouse cursor lags, heavily, just in the menu screen. It froze the system overall when I tried to load a level.
I can play the game just fine on Linux with this laptop. And, after trying the older Vista drivers instead of the windows 7 drivers, it ran just perfectly. The vista drivers DID give me a BSoD afterwards though when I shut down. I didn't install them in vista compat mode.
I had the exact same problem with GeForce drivers on a desktop with the same game(and another game called Secondhand Lands). The included windows 7 video drivers overall seem severely crippled.
Dual Boot - Windows XP SP 2 x64 and Windows 7 Ultimate x64.m:
Everything is working great in XP. After installing video drivers in windows 7, the wizards asks for restart. When i restart windows 7 hangs just after the "starting windows" logo, just at the welcome screen. It is not random, everytime it freezes at the same point. The system hangs and the display is just horizontal garbage lines and I need to hard reset the CPU. Without the video drivers, windows 7 works fine.
Things I tried:
1. Drivers from Motherboard CD/DVD.
2. Drivers from Gigabyte Website.
3. Drivers from Intel Website.
4. Changed the SATA mode to AHCI/IDE in BIOS. XP wont boot in AHCI.
5. XP shows Intel 2000 processor graphics. CPUZ tool in windows 7 shows Intel 1000-T.
I am building a new computer and have all the parts except for my video card (gtx 670 when it comes in stock...). Now, I have heard that I shouldn't do windows updates before installing the drivers for my video card. However, if I go ahead and set everything up except for my video card and let windows update do its thing - will there be any problems for me when I can finally buy my video card and install it?
These are my system specs: PSU: Arctic Cooling 550 MOBO: Asus M5A78L VGA: Club 3D Radeon HD 6870 Fans: 2 x 120mm CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 955BE + stock heatsink Wifi: TP-LINK TL-WN781ND RAM: 2x2gb DDR3 Corsair Value (DDR1333) HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB Optical drive: Samsung SH-S222AB 22x DVD/CD SATA
Randomly (for example: while surfing the internet), on Windows 7, the computer crashes with a screen with blue and grey vertical stripes (or sometimes totally grey or black). Sometimes this screen "hides" a BSoD, sometimes it doesn't. The system crashes only if video drivers are installed. On Ubuntu 11.04 (64-bit) and Windows XP (32bit), even after installing the drivers, there are no crashes. From BlueScreenView, all crashes look identical.
I tried: - 2 passes of Memtest86+: 0 issues - Installing Windows 7 and then ONLY the video drivers: CRASH - Installing XP 32-bit SP2 and the drivers: does not crash - Using Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit: does not crash - Uninstalling the drivers: does not crash - Safe mode: does not crash (obviously)
PC got good cooling i check my flow and it moving past CPU and Video the most air
OS Windows Vista 64bit and Windows 7 64bit
Both OS
My mobo has onboard video and whe i pull my video card out and run off on board it still does this driver crashing
my video Card driver keep crashing in both os at desktop alll the time and it just keep doing it i just be watching a video on line or just looking at stuff or on web or anything even game all suddden my pc frozes for sec but my mouse moves and then go black and then back to desktop like nothing happen and windows keeps
and it doesnt do driver crash when i am in games like OFP2
and i tryed older drivers and newer drivers and i just dont know what to do
i about to pull this card out and see if it does it on g@y onboard video that came on this board..
if anyone could show me any light or any info on what i should do or need to do lmk.
On 4/19, I downloaded a game from wildtangent and my pc became extremely slow to the point of crashing because pages were taking so long to download. I unstalled the game (using Control Panel) on 4/21 and though uninstalled, still had the same problem. On 4/21, I attempted to use System Restore to restore my pc to a date before the game download BUT the earliest system restore point was actually 4/21, including my checking the box to "choose another restore point". Win XP would save restore points for one to two months prior, with Windows 7 it's anywhere from one to a few days and in this case, the same day. WinXP was the best of the Windows versions and Windows 7 has been nothing but problematic. My pc with Windows 7 is a year and a few months old and Windows 7 has been one problem after another. Restoring to factory settings will wipe out everything on my pc so is there a way to restore my pc to before 4/18/2012?
I am running windows 7 Home 32bit. My Laptop is Samsung r530. The Video driver (Mobile intel 4 series 8.15.10.2302) has been repeatidly crashing since last month or so. I have just updated it as well but the problem is still there. The BSOD occurs from few minutes to several hours after booting.(NOTE: I haven't reinstalled the windows since last 1.5 years and it is the same OEM windows that came with the laptop.
My monitor displays this image every now and then "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 301.42 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." For some reason it gets worse and worse. At a certain point it just freezes. I got this video card only a few months ago so I doubt that it's about to die. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.
i'm having some trouble with my display driver crashing when video files are played. sometimes the driver recovers, but other times it ends with a bsod.i am running windows 7 x64, 4gb ram and a ati radeon hd5870 with up-to-date drivers the driver crashes when
- an embedded video, such as on Internet, attempts to play
- during the windows experience index tests (fails during video processing)
- playback of some video files in windows media player (error message states not enough memory)
the video files in the windows/performance/winsat folder for example don't all crash.these all crash in wmp:
this doesn't:clip_1080_5sec_10mbps_h264 they all play in powerdvd 8 and quicktime.the bsod log's also point to one particular driver, dxgkrnl.sys the ati driver is up-to-date and i've tried updating directx as well. even tried reinstalling the os over the top of the existing installation.
Can I install windows 7 ultimate inside the same(key code) windows 7 ultimate by using Virtual Box or Virtual PC and activate both scents its the same PC(laptop in this case)?
I apologize in advance if my post is missing any information; I attempted to follow the directions for properly posting but while I'm am computer functional, I'm not overly computer literate. [code] The system constantly crashes when playing video games and games consistently lag. We have completely re-installed the OS and replaced all parts in the PC at least twice. When the system crashes the speakers buzz loudly, although sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the computer itself.We switched from Nvidia because everything has checked out and it was hoped that the problem was the hardware not playing nice to no avail. I'm still getting the same error/crash.

I just upgraded my main computer to windows 7 ultimate and the sound it really bad, its always laggy and the videos on my computer are choppy as well. I have downloaded all the video and audio drivers for my motherboard and nothing seem to do it.
i have a toshiba l510 notebook for about a year now.. about two weeks ago i was watching a video from animecrazy.net using google chrome as my browser. i just notice that the video took a lot of time to buffer which is unusual because before it was buffering fast. then i browse Internet and watch some videos and it was fine and the video is loading fast. then i tried other video streaming sites like megavideo and same situation with animecrazy.net. the video is loading slow... i was just bothered because all video streaming sites i browse except Internet are buffering slow...i also tried other browser like firefox and ie but the same happens..i am using windows 7 starter.
I have been having this issue ever since I have put together my new computer. I have been searching online for solutions for two days new but have not found anything solid.Everytime I try to search, or seek, for a specific part in the video the picture will freeze, then after 45 sec to 2 1/2 min the video will finally start again where I chose it to play from. This only happens with HD videos 720 and 1080. The 480 it seeks instantly and there is no problem. I normally use Media Player Classic but this happens with all players.
Withing the past few days my PC seems like it has gotten considerably slower, freezing a bit once and a while for a few seconds, downloaded video on all players is choppy and about every 15-30 secs freezes which it never did. Cpu and ram usage are both very low I am running and Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4, 8 gb ram, gtx 460 xlr8. I checked the disk and its running DMA mode so its not that, Deleted and uninstalled all unused games, file etc. Ran malwarebytes full scan which turned up nothing, no large usage in processes
My Toshiba Satellite L750 laptop has been having trouble playing Flash video, and Windows takes an extremely long time to boot. Flash videos appear to drop every other frame at best, and the sound in every Flash element is extremely loud and distorted. When Windows boots, it appears to finish booting in a reasonable amount of time, but the antivirus software and some minor background processes do not load along with Windows. They do not load until two minutes after Windows appeared to finish booting. During this two-minute period, there is no CPU or hard drive activity. These two problems have occurred since Toshiba reinstalled Windows during their many attempts to repair this computer. This is the same computer that I started this topic about. What did they do to this computer?
Every time I start up normally into Win7 everything is fine for a couple of minutes. I'll open a few programs, then after a few minutes of them running they'll hang and enter the 'not responding' mode. (firefox, steam, IE). If I don't already have task manager running the system will basically be unresponsive and the only thing I can do is reboot manually. If I have task manager running I can sometimes end a process or two but some will remain open & unresponsive. Any programs that are working (including task manager) disappear when I minimize them and no programs appear on the task bar, (though they can be retrieved with alt+tab).
McAfee also has 'real time scanning' permanently disabled.
This is all very strange as there was nothing wrong four days ago when I was away, and the symptoms occured within 2-3 minutes of booting up this evening. The system runs in safe mode.
I have always used win XP on my pc (Intel Core I7-920 Quad 2.67GHz; GeForce GTS 450; 3 gb ddr3; Motherboard: Foxconn Renaissance X58) but the other day I decided to upgrade it to win 7
i just installed windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. everything is just working fine excpet the divx web player and flash videos.
when i try watching the video full screen on Internet the videos quality is fine but it horribly slows down and in divx the quality is reduced (pixelated) and the sound and the video goes out of sync.
im using firefox 3.5 right now and i tried Internet in ie aswell and still the same problem and as for divx internet explorer crashes everytime i try to play diivx.
So, I just upgraded my computer to windows 7 professional 32-bit. The hard drive was reformatted so there isn't much on it. Its been running for about 3 days now and has not been running properly from day one. It just freezes up and the screen goes black randomly. I get an error message that tells me the display drivers have stopped responding and recovered. It happens pretty often and I everytime I've tried to play a video it starts to act crazy. I have an EVGA Nvidia Geforce 9400GT 1GB Graphics card and I was using the 275.33 drivers but someone suggested going to a previous driver so now I am running 266.58.
I have a problem where my computer gets super slow after I install a Program. It doesnt matter what program it is, but it gets slow. The way I used to fix it was to just uninstall random programs but it has changed, I cant use my computer since it's so slow. The only way to fix it is reinstall windows but I dont want to do that as I already did that 2 times. Help Would be Great. Could it be the Hard Drive Itself, I doubt it the cpu or memory

All was well with my computer and one fine day video playback became very laggy and choppy. Also the computer in general slowed down considerably. My first thought was that there had been a virus attack and hence I ran a thorough scan. Nothing showed up. So formatted the whole system and installed Windows 8. Nothing changed. Videos continue to be laggy and overall system performance is slow. I read somewhere this could be because of high DCP latency caused by faulty drivers. I used the original Windows 7 backup DVD given to me by my laptop manufacturer to restore to factory default. No change - laggy video with slow system performance. I used the DCP latency checker to figure out what was causing the high values I was getting and pinned it down to the WiFi driver. The latency is down but choppy video playback and super slow OS continue to bother me. I've run out of options and my patience it's wearing thin.
I've got a problem when I start my laptop ( medion akoya ) after windows start up, the screen stays black & takes a while to display my desktop. I then get the yellow warning triangle with the following message: Display driver Intel graphics drivers for Windows 7 (R) stopped responding and have successfully recovered. Now this happens 90% of the time & some pics on some forums don't show up for me, just shows as a little square box.Also, When I run a scan, I get this: "";"D:DRIVER4. AudioRealtek_6.0.1. 6083MSHDQFEWin2K_ XPuskb888111xpsp2. exe";"The file is signed with a broken digital signature, issued by: Microsoft Corporation.";"". More than likely all connected, but I'm not very techy when it comes to computers. I've got 3 cd's that came with the lappy: Recovery disc, Microsoft Works 9 & Applications & support disc, I'm afraid if I put any of these in the drive that it will auto run lol. Can somebody please tell me, is it just a matter of using one of these discs to re-install the the above drivers & if so, which disc??
I wonder if I'm alone here but I am having a lot of problems with 19x.xx series of nVidia drivers.
Had strange problems with some games on those, with few completely unplayable (CoD4 crashing on start, L4D crashing on start or hanging after loading the level, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 having major graphical artifacts or hanging)
Going back to 185.85 and recently to 185.81 solved those problems.
I heard that GeForce 8 and 9 series are affected - anyone had similar experience?
My laptop used to run XP, something got corrupted and I got the blue screen of death. I took it to my brother (who is a network administrator) to fix it. He couldn't figure out how to fix or restore whatever system file was corrupted in XP, so he backed up my documents & program files, and then installed Windows 7. He then dumped all of those backed up files into a folder on my C drive called OLD FILES. It has been super slow and occastionally freezes since that time.
The C drive is almost full. I am certain that I have multiple copies of the same files and programs, and have the files for old software that I do not need or use. I cannot uninstall many of them because they were not installed, they were copied. I have tried many utilities in an attempt to find the duplicate files, or to clean up old data, and to speed up the system, but I only see minor improvements
Also, I have very little free space on the hard drive. however I am so afraid of deleting the wrong file or program and being back where I started when it crashed. I need advice on what I should do to fix this situation. Should I leave the OS as is, or change back to XP? And how can I determine which program filess are actually being used and which are duplicates?
I have thought about just buying a new laptop but that is not really an option at this time. So what do I need to do to make this laptop A) run faster and B) clean out all those duplicates and extra files I do not need.

Suddenly opening programs took much longer than usual to load, I have a SSD and everything had been fast before. So today I just went ahead and reinstalled Windows and the speed returned for the most part. The problem I am having now is that if I launch an install program it takes 15-30 seconds to load, but if I right click and "run as admin" it launches instantaneously. I turned UAC off and I'm on an admin account.
i just notice that my usb transfer is really slow around 11mb/sec for my usb stick and around 20mb/sec for my external hard drive. I noticed this change right after installing SP1. (I'm on windows 7 ultimate 64bit.) The thing is that it happenned in a particular moment, i was transfering files to my external hard drive the same day i installed Sp1 and in the beginning of the transfer the transfer speed was normal, around 60mb/sec. Then my Internet security software (Eset Smart Security) tells me that a process has changed in i think it was taskhost.exe (i am not 100% sure but i know it was a windows process), it ask me do i accept it, i press ok accept the change and then i saw my transfer speed slowed down right away to something like 20mb/sec.
Last Friday i installed a new graphic card, Asus EAH4870. Since the system is eratic and one ine a while, very slow
- What can I use to test some parameters? - Could it be cause by a temperature increase? - Power supply _ did test inside temp and voltage with Asus software
