Freezing/Crashing On StartUp, New Build
Jul 6, 2012
I recently built a new pc and I'm having some issues with Windows 7 which seems to freeze on start up. By this I mean at the "Starting Windows" screen the animation will start but will freeze after a couple of seconds. It usually takes me about 3 restarts to then get into windows. I haven't been using Windows Repair tool because the restore deletes all of the programmes that I've put on and the crashing continues to happen despite the changes. I'll list my specs below:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASRock Pro3 Gen3 Z68
Intel Core i5 2500k currently @ stock speed
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
OCZ ZS 550w
8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue (Overflow Drive)
I don't think the SSD is the problem because when I did the install on the WD HDD I still had the instability and the crashes.The drivers I have installed are: Realtek LAN drivers, Nvidia 500 series Graphics, Nvidia HD Audio and all of the "Important" Windows 7 updates.

My brand new computer I just built is crashing and restarting without a reason I can find. My System health report won't be very accurate because I need to run OCCT stress test in the background to slow down the amount of times it crashes.
I have run memtest for 12 hours - No errors.
My CPU is cooled by a H100 - temps never go above 40c even under load.
CPU - i5 - 2500k
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
PSU - Antec 750w
Even on a fresh install it will crash during the setup phase, like where you put in product code and username. Leading me to think its a Hardware issue.

I recently built a PC for myself a few weeks ago. The specs will be pasted below after the description of my problem.
While gaming, surfing the web, or running AutoCAD, my PC just freezes up. It has happened 5-6 times and I am not sure what is going on.
I did some research and I was advised to go to ASUS's QVL for my Motherboard and check the latency and recommended speed. I followed the advised instructions but my PC froze again while playing a game.
I then tried running virus scans to see if this was the issue but I detected nothing. I ran Windows Update, but the problem still occurred.
The most significant recent change I did was upgrade my video card's drivers to NVIDIA's 296 driver. Could it be the voltage of my DDR3 Memory? It is rated at 1.5V. Below are the specs for my machine.
Operating System
MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1

I built a new computer setup and have been having frequent crashing, hanging and freezing problems. At one point I had the odd BSOD but as of late no BSOD's just freezing up. I have attempted full reinstall of the OS, checked all updates, drivers, firmwares, bios setttings etc and still am plagued by this very frequent problem. Have also tried installing and uninstalling SP1 and the recently released MS hotfix for freezing issues with no improvement. [code]

a couple days ago i posted a hijack this log because my toshiba satellite had been freezing and crashing a lot all of a sudden. my kapersky software got rid of a few viruses but it was still running slowly. now my toshiba wont even boot up past the splash screen it just wants to run startup repair. startup repair either takes 5 hours or says it cannot fix. -i cannt do system restore because i didnt have a previous point saved, -i can get into the command prompt thing and when running chkdsk it says 512 bytes in each allocation unit, failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50. 3086 kb total disc space.

It just keeps freezing for no particular reason, it doesn't shows any kind of error, I can still see the webcam image, animations from emoticons, the ellipsis when my contact is typing a message and I still can hear the microphone sound coming from my friend during a call. But I can't type, I can't click and highlight MSN's window and I also can't see the messages I recieve from my contact, It just freezes for about five minutes, and then comes back like nothing ever happened. I've already changed my LAN Settings on IE to do not automatically detect LAN Settings.

When I boot up my pc, randomly 15-30minutes after logging on, all of the programs running will freeze with "Not Responding" on their title bar for a few minutes. After a few minutes the programs will unfreeze, and more problems arise. These problems include, some of the open programs working, some partially working , and some not working at all. When I try to to ctrl alt delete to close the frozen programs, an error message will pop-up Cannot find explorer.exe. Also when I open the start menu it is completely blank, doesn't show anything. Also, some of my desktop icons disappear, while some others stay. In general, the computer gets really buggy, and I cant do much.I have been having these issues for roughly a week. I formatted on Mon, Aug 27, and the issues still arise since the format, so it appears the issues is more likely hardware related.Since I formatted, I have chkdisk /f /r, and sfc /scannow, but the issues still arise.About a week ago I was trying to clean my case, get rid of dust, etc, but before I did it, my case fell roughly 6 inches to the ground, thinking this issue could be hardware, most likely a bad HDD related.

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.

computer spec, win 7 64 (fully updated). all drivers are updated, and bios is upto date asus p6t delux v2, i7 940, 12gb ram ocz 1000w power supply (bought 6 months ago) main drive- kingston ssd vnow series 128gb , could it be this?
recently we had a builder round, and the electricity tripped while my computer was on since then my computer constantly freezes randomly no given time really (could be guessing at this time really as updates have occured as well recently)
An example is i could be browsing the web on a variety of browsers or just using the computer in general, the computer will lock up sometimes allowing me to move the mouse but not being able to do anything, and sometimes not being able to move the mouse,it will then un freeze about 2-3 minutes later?
and when it frezes i could press ctrl alt & del, then the task manager will pop up when the computer has resumed it selfi recently ran memtest on all the ram after around 50 hours of testing there was an error on one piece, another thing it could be possibly one of the updates i have run for drivers bios etc, but id be clutching at straws trying to find out
i have norton 360 and malwarebytes on, both find NO Viruses, so i retested one at a time in the same dimm slot, no problems? i then tested in pairs still no problems? i then retested all and this time i had no problems? strange? but only retested for 30 hours at the bottom of the memtest screen, it said pass complete no errors,

This computer is 4-5 years old. Originally had Vista installed. Did a fresh install of Win 7 Pro x64when I bought the SSD drive.
In the last several months I have been upgrading it:
Installed 8 GB of 800MHz RAM - 4 months ago Installed a Crucial M4 SSD drive - 2 months ago Throughly cleaned all fans and the computer - 1 month ago Replaced Power supply that had failed - 2 weeks ago
This has been driving me crazy for quite a while. Before I replace the motherboard and cpu I wanted to see if someone could decipher the log files for me.
I have played with the BIOS settigs quite a bit. It may be time for me to return to default values..

I've sent this computer to a repair center and after diagnostics (if thats what he calls it) he said my crashes were due to my RAM. He wanted to charge me $120 to install new RAM. Instead I had him send it back and since I am computer savvy enough I installed new RAM myself.
my specs:

Just re-installed windows 7 Completely reformatted HD

My computer will boot up to the windows startup logo, and just when it should load my desktop, it flashes a blue screen, and re-boots into recovery mode.
I just built a new computer using the new Intel 1155 socket CPU. As you may or may not know, all 1155 socket motherboards were recalled due to issues with the SATA ports. Long story short, I got a refund for my H-series Biostar motherboard, and when the revised motherboards were made available, i bought a P-series Asus motherboard. All of the system hardware is the same, accept the motherboard.
The computer was running fine with the H-series Biostar motherboard, but now that i have swapped for the Asus, i seem to be running into problems. My first instinct is that the leftover H-series motherboard driver is messing with my new P-series build, but i can't get to the control panel to remove it. I have found a way to pull up windows explorer when i boot into recovery mode. Is it possible for me to remove my old motherboard drivers through windows explorer, or will i need to gain access to the control panel?
Computer Details:
CPU: Intel i5 LGA 1155
MOBO: Asus P8P67-LE
Memory: G Skill 2*2GB
Video Card: PNY GeForce 9800 GT
PSU: Tried 380W and 650W, made no difference

I just put together a brand new PC. I used the HDD from my old PC in this one, it has Windows 7 32bit installed on it.I start up the PC, everything sounds fine, I hear one beep, the BIOS screen pops up. Then, I get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen. If I select start windows normally, I see the starting windows screen, then a blue screen pops up with the usual "problem has been detected...shut down to prevent damage" stuff. The technical information it gives me is: Quote :*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80D86A58, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

After I upgrade Windows 7 from build 7022 to 7057 my startup now is really slow. I see boost-screen 4 minutes. Restart was 405 sec. I removed unnecessary services, startup programs, defarg my registry, did a clean install, but nothing of that works.

Packard bell PC imedia something, radeon sapphire 5670 HD GPU upgrade, recent (Jan 2012) windows 7 64 bit custom install upgrade from vista 32 bit, during which I backed up all files on a Samsung external hard drive, then did a complete hard drive wipe install of windows 7, then put it all back on using software run by the Samsung drive. Went perfectly as planned. Other than that the PC was stock. One day playing Cod 8, screen inputs failed, then keyboard failed, then funny smell from PC tower, so I switched it off. After analysis, showed to be PSU fail. I took the opportunity to build a better PC, as this one is quite a few years old now.
So I only used the hard drive (WD6400AAKS)
Blu ray reader disk drive, memory card reader drive and Radeon GPU from the old PC
ASUS P8Z68-V LX mobo Overclocked intel i5 processor with artic cooling freezer 13 CPU fan Corsair TX650 PSU Antec DF-30 case with 4 led fans
All cables and such are new, and all plugged in correctly. When turned on the first time, all fans on, leds, and everything started as it should have, but No beep, monitor came on, instead of showing initial boot screen, asus version came up, then tried to boots windows, then just as the circles begging to circle the logo, it crashes, screen turns off, then on again, then back to asus screen, the windows screen crashes like before, then asks me to do startup repair or start as normally - No other options.
Every time I do this, it says it couldn't solve the problem, and restarts, then crashes, then restarts, then goes to startup repair option again. If I select start as normally, it just crashes again like before then loops back to startup repair option again. I have tried all options possible after the startup repair fails, including command prompt stuff, system restores, image restores, hardware diagnostics, basically everything. It either fails, then goes back to the startup repair loop, or tells me there are no problems with the hardware, then goes back to the startup repair loop.
I think my hard drive is corrupt, but signs have led me to believe its not completely corrupt - like it will see all the places and times on my hard drive to use when I select system restore, however after a fair time of trying each time, and with multiple possible restore points, it fails every time. I think all the other hardware is fine, and working as it should. I think some of the windows system files were damaged when the old PC's PSU blew while playing COD (it usually handles COD fine).

recently my computer has been acting a bit odd. When I turn it on it starts up like normal, I input my password and it starts loading everything. But once everything is loaded at the start up the taskbar freezes and so does the rest of the desktop. I can move my mouse but it does nothing and I'm not able to open the taskmanager at all with ctrl+alt+del. The computer runs fine in safe mode. I've already gone through and cleaned up my system, fixed any registry problems, and defragged my hdd. I've scanned for any malware and came up with nothing. I've disabled all non-necessary programs in msconfig for startup. I've been able to do a system restore to about a week ago, and that would fix the problem for a bit, but it would happen again if the computer went into sleep mode.

So I got my new PC all built up and set today, and start running some games on it, to find that Oblivion was crashing immediately after the intro sequence (right before the main screen that allows you to select new game, load, etc.).Bioshock runs fine, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare runs fine, I seem to be having trouble with older games (Oblivion and Doom 3, though Doom 3 I can atleast play).
I am running:
Windows Seven Proffesional 64 bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8600
5 Gigs of Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX
Compatibility Mode with Windows XP Service Pack 3
*Oblivion has been updated to the latest version (1.204 or something like that)

I have tried runing the boot fix and it came up as unable to repair, i have tried restoring to most recent restore point and got the same problem. Has no issue booting into safe mode.
Am currently trying updating NVIDIA drivers to see if that fixes problem

I've had issues with this thing for awhile but for the sake of the forum I'l stick to my current issue.Upon startup, everything works fine. I put in my login password and Windows begins to load. While Windows is loading it just reezes. The only thing I can say is it freezes after most of the applications load but it's still searching for networks. Straight freezenothing works. However, and this was weird, out of the 4 or 5 times it froze last night, one of the times I was still able to move the mouse. Nothing else worked though.My drivers should be up to date. I do check them and update them as needed.I do regular checks for viruses and spyware. I use free programs that are updated regularly.I "clean up" my system on somewhat regular basis.I defragment the hard drive on a somewhat regular basis.I clean my registry regularly.I deleted the programs that start up with the computer that I don't need. Winamp, my spyware scanner, and this clean-your-PC program I downloaded (see below) no result I recently got suckered into one of those clean your PC programs that cost like 20 bucks. That's the only major program I've downloaded recently. I did a system restore to before I downloaded that and the same problem occurred.The computer works fine in safe mode. Even "with networking" it connects to the internet just fine.I did just realize I didn't do a virus scan in safe mode last night, I'll do that when I get home tonight. But if you guys know a good free virus scanner to use let me know, otherwise I'll follow up if the virus scan fixes it.

I have a weird problem with my Windows 7. When I restart it, it will 90% of the time freeze right after startup (from 30 seconds to 5 minutes after startup). The cursor just won't move and everything on the screen is still and I have to reboot to get it back working. Unless it freezes again (which it does most of the time). I have to try about 10 to 15 times each time I restart my computer to get it working, and it seems to be completely random. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and I don't think this is a hardware issue because my laptop is running linux (ubuntu) flawlessly.
As for my config:
ASUS N61JQ Laptop :
intel core i7 1.6 ghz
ATI mobility radeo HD 5730
4gb ddr ram
320 gb hard drive 7200 rpm
I also have an external hard drive of 1 TB that's connected to my laptop.

Earlier this afternoon, my Toshiba laptop running windows 7 restarted itself without any prompting. Since then, I have not been able to start it in normal mode without it restarting itself of freezing either during the startup or just after. I can open it in safe mode with networking, but that is it.
Ive tried fixing the registry, Ive tried antivirus software, Ive tried system restores, and Ive tried running a clean boot. None of these have worked.

I'm having issues with W7 freezing soon after startup. It works fine for 5 min TOPS and the next second I know, it's frozen and I get the busy icon (like a circle) in place of my mouse pointer. Then if I wait a few more minutes, I get the pictures below(in that order). I'm not the only one to use the computer so did someone else mess something up?

Windows is currently freezing up after startup. This started after receiving a blue screen during one startup. On the next startup, there was a small dialogue box; I opted not to restore the computer to a previous state.
Now, Windows loads normally, but generally the first action taken freezes the computer (mouse will move, but that's it). I have managed open a text file, and even updated Adobe Reader from the tray. I also opened Task Manager from right-click on the bottom bar. Trying to end a process, create a text file, or open Explorer, Firefox, or any other program I've tried causes a freeze up. Safe Mode seems to work fine.

about a week or two ago i posted on the virus and malware removal forums and followed all the steps i was given and afterwards my computer stopped freezing and started up normally again. now it has started again, although no blue screens like before, and im wondering if its something else... I use norton i dont know if that could be it? I was wondering because if its not causing it then ill have removed it for no reason... it seems like it was for some other people though
