I am having a major problem with my laptop (Dell inspiron 1520). The laptop starts up, whe the dell logo disappears I get some very quick beeps (there must be about 8 beeps in total). I then get a boot manager screen which shows windows 7 at the top, and windows memory diagnostic in the tools section at the bottom. When I press enter it goes to the password screen and then after entering the password it seems to boot up as normal. I can probably get 2 - 3 minutes use out of my laptop before everything freezes. From this point I cannot do anything and have to tur the computer off by the switch.This is all it does in a constant loop.I have tried everything I can think of but still the same issue.
A couple of weeks ago my daughter spilt a little water on the keyboard. I mopped it up but next time I booted it up again the beeping noises started on start up. I removed the memory stick from under the keybpard and noticed there was signs of water damage. I removed the memory stick and the beeps on start up continued every time I booted the laptop up. But everything worked. Last Friday I was browsing the internet and that is when everything frozeI have tried to restore to an earlier date but it won't let me complete the restore. I have run the various disk repairs that are offered when pressing F8 at the dell logo screen but to no avail (it doesn't seem to find any issues). I really just want to get my files/photos off and then try and reinstall windows but as explained my computer won't stay on long enough for me to be able to do anythingThe computer will stay on in safe mode, however, it will not load in safe mode with networking. Could it be something to do with wifi? Reason I say this is I have been reading various threads and this has been suggested as a possible issue for one person's similar problem.
my cheap WalMart Acer laptop freezes and beeps twice at random times. It does not beep twice as it boots, but rather after using it for a while. When I look at a cpu load graph the cpu is running at 90-100%.
i use my PC every day and it has been rock stable for years. however lately i have an issue while browsing: the computer freezes randomly when i'm online. It freezes completely -even the mouse- for a few seconds. Then it beeps once from the speakers and unfreeze at the same time. No BSOD or anything else.
Seems like a hardware problem, but i am not sure. It should beep from the desktop inside if it was the RAM. Also, i tried a lot of stress-tests to ensure 24/7 stability It passed memtest for >12hrs, HD tune, IBT, and even prime95 for 24hrs, to fail when i opened 5-6 chrome tabs!
My laptop freezes when i turn it on after a minute or two just enough time to maybe sign in but i can go into safe mode and it wont freeze but you cant do anything in safe mode that
My PC beeps 6 times when I try to turn it on, no error messages come up on the screen, the moniter and computer just go striaght on to stand by and the beeping continues.
My computer beeps twice during start up then option comes of pressing F1 to continue, F2 to enter menu and F12 to enter Boot menu. I have DELL XPS 15 laptop, and I am using my lappy from last one year. Is there a problem with my hardware?
I bought a new CPU and Motherboard today and put them together. I'm assuming I plugged the wires properly. So far no beeps when i start the computer but the fans are working and the LED lights light up. The monitor says "power saving" everytime I start it up. I have windows 7 32 bit installed on my hard drive and was planning to format it into windows 7 64 bit but I can't when my computer won't even start.
Bought i3 3220 (ivybridge), 2x4gb ram, 120GB SSD, CM Elite case & psuSo installed everything powered up got 4 beeps shutdownReset mobo as had been used before got 3 beepsI tried unplugging everything but cpu/fan/ramTried each ram stick in each slot etc checked cpu seated properlyTried everything i could think off got 3 beeps alwaysFinally i figured mobo might need bios update to run ivybridge chip (which was already supposed to have been done in old system) so i ditched the Z68 and ordered a gigabyte Z77-DS3H, so now all components are brand spankersAssembled everything 3 short beeps, pause, 3 short beeps shutdownSame as before unplugged everything same beep comboOnly mobo cpu/cooler/ram same beep comboWent to my office robbed some ddr3 out of my i7 system swapped it and still got 3/pause/3 beeps each stick in each slot and still the sameAnd i have noticed on power up cpu fan goes full speed for a few seconds then when beeps start it runs slowly dont know if this is relevantNow im stuckthe only components i havent swapped out is the cpu & psu, but is it possible the cpu is faulty, is this a common thing ???
A few months ago my Laptop went freezing from times to times, for a few minutes and then un-freeze, to freeze again a few minutes later. So wondering what to do, I formatted my laptop to solve that problem. Sadly it didn't worked.
Having work to do i was forced to run my PC on Safe Mode for a couple of month. After a while I decided to go ''legit', again and I realized that my PC froze a few minutes after start-up but after a couple of hours, it would run smoothly for days. So the past few months my PC was running smoothly,... until recently, but now, it's worst than ever.
It freezes a few minutes after start-up... and even if I keep it on for days, I still can't do a thing, it un-freeze for like 2 seconds sometimes, then just to freeze again. It's driving me crazy. I'm planning to buy a new PC but I'm stuck with this one for a little while now, might as well try to do something with it. I don't think this is a problem of program or anything like this since even after I formatted it, I still had the same problem. Is my laptop just dead? (I'm on safe-mode right now).
So here's my specs-
Toshiba Laptop Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core TK-57 1.90ghz Ram: 3 Gb System : Windows 7 home premium 32 bit
My laptop (Hp Pavilion dvx4 1 1/2 years old) suddenly won't load Windows 7. It turns on, fan and DVD drive run but the mute and Internet icons on the keyboard remain red and there are two flashing lights on the keyboard (one beside the caps lock key and the other is above the scroll key). That's all it does. No beeps, sounds or cursor. I had noticed a problem with my sound on a couple web sites prior to this but no error messages ever displayed indicating any problems. I bought this laptop at Best Buys and they installed a recovery disc but other then that I don't have the original Windows 7 disc in order to try to boot from CD-rom.
After window installed some new updates my dell laptop was not able to start. It will boot and go in the screen for Window failed to start. "A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Launch Startup Repair or Start Window Normally." I tired both options but eventually leads back to this page. Then i tried to enter all the safe mode with no luck. I then tried "Last Know Good Configuration" but with no hope leading back to the same screen.
My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1554 and I am facing serious problems during start up. The screen becomes white and after 5-10 minutes, the screen vibrates and directly windows 7 opening screen appears. Fortunately no display problem is appeared throughout the day until shut down
I bought my Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop, windows 7, intel i3 core processor about 3 weeks ago, and it ran perfectly, handled all my ridiculous multitasking well, and was really light compared to others I've had. This morning my nephew was using it to play Skyrim (I digress, sometimes I sneak onto his game files for a little fun) and....well he has some anger issues, but that's not what this is about. Something upset him and he slammed the lower left side of the laptop pretty dern hard. Nothing broke on the outside, but suddenly the computer became unresponsive, and I had to force shut down the whole thing. When it started back up it wouldn't....start back up. I got an error message saying "Windows could not start successfully, we recommend you launch startup repair to try and fix the problem. Well I did that about 2 dozen times in a row with failures each time, till finally, much to my joy, it successfully started back up. Except now whenever I try to open a new program, it sometimes has periods of unresponsiveness, and some things like Skyrim can't be opened at all.
When I start up my computer it just freezes after about 30 seconds, if I click anything it won't load an application it will just stop responding then freeze.Before this I installed the following[CODE]
Not immediately after but it freezes whenever I click on something. However, I can boot into Safe Mode just fine. I ran Malwarebytes and did not detect any virus or malware. I have also tried disabling all the startup programs except anti-virus using msconfig. None of these methods work. Could this be a hardware problem? Would I be able to boot into safe mode, say, if the motherboard is the problem?
I have an eMachine running an oem 64 bit version of Windows 7 home premium that will not boot, even in safe mode. It freezes just prior to loading the windows logo. I can get it to the startup repair mode and the screen with the safe mode option, but it goes blank when I click on safe mode. Startup Repair will run, after a 45 minute period of 'loading files', but says it can't fix the problem. It then asks me if I want to use system restore.
I'm a college student and have a paper on my laptop that's due tommorow. I'm trying every way to reboot but its not working. It works in safe mode but my school wifi requires installing software to use Internet which I can't do in safe mode. I read countless forums and I tried everything. Start up repair has been going on for the past hour. I tried rebooting to last successful boot but doesn't work. It freezes no matter what I do. When I tried showing startup process witch each disk to try and solve the issue it just shows
I just upgrades to Windows 7 64 bit from Vusta 64 bit 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until the last day or two. Since then, the computer has started to freeze within 2 or 3 minutes after it starts up. I even tested it and it will still freeze on the log in screen. When the system does freeze, sometimes the mouse will move temporarily, but it will usually stop moving altogether.
Also, the keyboard will not work and any sound that was playing at the time of the freeze will loop or just go crazy. The only things I have that run when the system start up is AVG Anti-virus, Precision (my overclocking/ fan speed tool), and Spybot Search and Destroy + Teatime.
I can't think of anything that I downloaded or installed before this happened and I think it just started out of the blue. I never had this problem with Vista, so I don't think it is a hardware problem, but I can't do anything while my computer is like this. Does anyone have/had similar problems or know how to fix mine?
My specs are:
AMD Phenom II X4 955(3.2GHz) 64 bit Quad-Core Processor 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM 1TB SATAII Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce GTX-275 896MB Integrated Sound card Power Supply 700W Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
when my computer starts up it takes a while for it to load i enter my password and nothing happens sometimes and the load cursor appears with the welcome screen it takes minutes to load i have a dell 545s windows 7 home premium
Computer Info: Alienware 14x, win7 premium home 64bit, Intel i7-2720, intel hd3000/ nvidia 555m, 6gigs of ram. Problem: as noted in title my os seems to freeze perhaps it is the windows explorer that is freezing not 100% sure what is actually freezing but the latter of these two choice seem more likely to me based on the freeze seems to happen after I try to open the start menu (sorry for the run on). I have tried a clean bootup with msconfig however the os froze after I loaded a single program or at least nothing loaded after 15min of waiting aside the circle telling me something is 'loading'. In hindsight maybe I should have been more patient, I dunno. Also, during these freezes I have notice keyboard becomes unresponsive Ie ctrl+alt+delete won't work. I have tried using a system restore point but this also did not worked. I have also tired a check disc and that also yielded no results. Also, I have disabled the windows search function if that is relevant.
I've seen in many threads that there isn't just one specific thing to look for, because many things can cause your system to freeze.What I'd like to know is, what steps would a profesional take to find this issue?I've ran programs looking for spyware and viruses and seem to be clean:AVGSpybotad-awareThe strange thing is that, this only happens after my computer has been off for a few hours, and in the first 5 minutes of starting it up, it freezes completely, you can't move the mouse, pull up the task manager or anything.I power it down and back up, and normally I'm fine for hours on in, its just always that initial start up
Just done a fresh windows 7 install a few weeks back and problems have been arising since. Mobo/CMOS battery has also just been freshly replaced.
[code]...
The system used to be overclocked (both CPU and memory). I have since downclocked the processor to its default speed and underclocked the memory and loosened the timings in a hope it may be related to the problem but nothing has helped so far.I also get complete freezes in windows 7 from time to time, requiring a reboot. Also run chdsk on both connected drives and nothing unusual has been reported. I have also run a check to verify that the windows file systems integrity is ok.
It's a fake computer analysis and optimization program that displays fake information in order to scare you into believing that there is an issue with your computer so you buy some program. My computer recovered back to normal, except it ran slower than usual and sounded like it was constantly loading/thinking.Within 30 minutes, my computer restarted without being prompted to do so and now it freezes every time it tries to load. I've tried all the safe modes and it freezes before loading windows.I've included two screen shots, where it freezes every time
My computer has been slower then I ever thought possible. After logging in, the computer will act as fast as it normally does. for about 5 seconds. Then, even after a single click, if it doesn't actually start a program, my computer freezes for 1-30 seconds, and then doesn't even do what I wanted it to do. The only other thing that's unusual is that it doesn't seem to be working as hard as it normally was after I got a new graphics card.
After downoading some windows critical updates (this is about 6 months ago) my computer would lock up after windows started and I could no do anything until I started task manager. All I have to do is start task manager and close it and then everything is fine. Becuase of this, I just didnt bother trying to find a fix but I wondered if anyone has advice on how to correct this problem.
I built my computer a year a ago and I haven't had any signifigant problems untill last week. My computer randomly shut itself off and ever since then I can not get past the start up screen. The orbs begin to fly around but then the system either locks up or restarts. I can not access safe mode or even revert it back to the last stable mode. I tried re installing Windows but after downloading the files from the disk the computer freezes and restarts. I have purchased a new set of ram but that does not seem to have solved the problem[CODE]
