HP Probook; Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Keeps Freezing
Apr 14, 2012
I've got this HP machine a few months ago. Its the Probook 4530s.
I've formatted the harddrive and reinstalled windows a few time in hopes that it will fix this problem but it just does not seem to go away.
The windows keeps freezing for a few seconds, like the window will say "(Not Responding)" at the top...and then after a few seconds it starts working again. I checked the resource monitor and apparently the processor and memory utilization is quite low so I cant figure out why it still freezes.
My HP Probook 4320s laptop was purchased in October 2011 - It quickly developed the extremely annoying problem of freezing / crashing. I called the company that it was purchased it from, they asked me to do a memory test & hard drive test - they showed no errors. They then advised me to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit (it was preinstalled when purchased). I reinstalled it, & downloaded all of the drivers from the web (a painfully slow experience on Kenyan internet...!!). After installing all of them - it's still happening! Sometimes if left for a couple of minutes it will start to work again, sometimes it needs a reset with the power button.
My windows keeps getting stuck regardless of whatever software I am using. Every few minutes it says (NOT RESPONDING) at the top of whatever window that I have open. I checked task manager and there it says CPU Usage and Memory Usage is relatively low so that does not seem to be a problem.
I also checked Resource Monitor and there the only weird thing that I notice is the Disk Response time which is between 5000-8000ms for some stuff. I have attached a screenshot of that. I have run every HP Diagnostic tool and it doesn't find anything wrong with my laptop. I have formatted/re-installed windows on my system several times so I dont think the installation is a problem either.
Can I upgrade from Windows ultimate 32bit ver 6.1 ( build 7600) to windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition and keep all of my installed programs and files ?[meaning not having them moved to a new folder called windows.old]
I have been running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 bit on my pc for 6 months or so when recently it just started freezing up either whilst loading or whilst im on the desktop screen. I have checked memory chips for error and its returned back no errors found. I have to sometimes reboot the pc when its frozen and then it doesn't load up. It freezes just after windows logo appears and just halts for ages. Sometimes it doesnt even get that far. I have a memory and cpu gauge on my desktop which constantly has memory on about 56% usage and cpu on 0.2%.
I have even resinstalled a backup image i have created of the operating system but now its even worse. I have Virgin media security software installed.
how can i change my 32 bit win7 ultimate free dos to 64 bit win7 ultimate?can i do it without charge? where can i get it done?? can i get the iso/disk in downloadable format?
I recently purchased a new motherboard, RAM and SSD to upgrade my computer a bit. I planned on doing a clean install onto the new SSD, rather than upgrading Vista x64, which is installed on a 750GB hard drive. However, after I set the BIOS to boot from CD, hit a key to boot off CD, it freezes at the loading windows screen before you can select your language preferences. I tried running this with only 1 4GB memory stick instead of 2.
Also, unplugged everything that wasn't needed from the computer, leaving just the video and ps/2 mouse + keyboard. I also tried, taking out the PCI Sound card, starting with just the SSD drive connected and the 750GB drive disconnected and disabling everything I could think of that wasn't needed in the BIOS. I tried both the 64bit (which I would like to use) and the 32bit install CDs. Both freeze at the same spot.
My Win 7 ultimate has been working great since I have installed it, but few minutes ago, my laptop froze and I had to restart. I do not know how to open a dmp file, so here is the link for download > RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting.
I've got a fairly new computer only a few months old with no issues so far but all of a sudden I'm getting random lock ups where my screen just freezes and I can't do anything. I normally have to reboot a few times for it to work again, sometimes it will continually freeze at the startup screen. I can reboot into safe mode with no worries.I've noticed this common suspect looking through event viewer when this happens;[CODE]
Bought new laptop 4 month ago and this problem have been all the time.When I bought then it was freezing when I was surfing with Internet explorer and its just freezed (Is not working).But now is just freezing/shuting down.Few times have been blue death screen aswell.

In the last two days I have noticed that my laptop is crashing and freezing really often and I would have to hold down the power button down to switch it off, etc. I have used hp support assistant, I don't want to restore factory setting.

I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 64bit, from XP 32bit, and since then have been experiancing completely random freezes, like, computer freezes completely, the last half a second of any sound playing repeats, and the PC requires reset, also, I've noticed sometimes when listening to music, the music will pause for only a second, then continue, which is strange. Now these freezes, and hangs, are completely random, I've had it happen 5 minutes after start up, and sometimes it wont happen for 3-4 days. I installed brand new ram along with the upgrade G-Skill F2-6400CL5-2GBNT DDR2 (2Gx2) in the correct DIMM slots Yellow and Yellow. Ran Memtest86+ for 10 hours, no problems and cleared CMOS.

My friends pc has windows 7 ultimate 64 bit with 2 gb ram.it runs too much slow.it has an intel core 2 duo processor. Is it good to have an 64 bit os with just 2 gb of ram? I think this thing is the culprit causing the computer to run slow.
System was fine. Started it up this morning and all my sound was gone. I've re-installed the Asus drivers 50x. Tried the same in Safe Mode. I am using an external speaker set-up. They are Altec Lansing speakers. They have a powered sub and left and right main speakers and also left and right rear speakers. I don't have the rear speakers connected and I haven't for years(without issue).Anyway, booted up this morning and I have no sound from Windows, the internet, or my music or movies.
I am a little annoyed that after buying 2 games from EB Games today, Aliens V's Predator and Apox, they both need "Steam" to install properly. I have installed steam and it tells me that i have no internet connection. I have a wireless internet connection and steam does not pick it up at all. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, i have down loaded the latest steam from the web site and i still get the same problem.
I'm planning to replace the 32-bit OS with 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. This laptop can support 8GB as mentioned in the catalogue. I guess the processor i5-430M is the first generation processor. I'm getting two 4GB RAM modules fairly cheap with same speed specifi'x.
I've no plans to trade off this laptop because its a rare "breed" - Made in Japan by Fujitsu and after 2 years of service it still runs extremely well.

I've been trying install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my Compaq Presario F700. It came with Windows Vista (Don't know which version). It then became corrupted, so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it, then I DBANed it, Now it won't install Windows 7. It says that Bootmgr.exe is missing. I tried a repair disk, I tried the bootrec (don't know if i'm doing it right).
I changed my OS to Window 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, no I can`t run left 4 dead in my system! when I trying to start left 4 dead, a message said application Stop working!

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit..THe problem is that my Laptop doesnt shut down properly..When i shut down the laptop screen shown only logoff . finally have to manually turn it off .This only happens like every other time.All drivers are up to date, all Windows Updates are done. System specs:

I have never installed a new os from start. Do i need to download drivers for my mobo ready for a fresh windows7 install?Or does it find them automatically on the windows disc? Or online later? I have drivers on disc for all other hardware, but not mobo.
i like to copy and paste password when i log into a website or name of a part if im shopping for one so i can check the specs what dissapoints me is i can only copy and paste one item at a time is there some way to save favorites so when i paste i can choose from a list of items, or a software for copy and paste?
The 64 bit disk magically dissapeared and all I have left is the 32 bit disk.If I took someones Windows 7 Ultimate disk 64 bit and installed it using my Product key would it install?
I've build a computer and want to install windows 7 x64 on it. But when I start the setup I allways get a bsod: Most of the time with this error: 0x00000124. I also had these: 0x0000007F, 0x0000009C, 0X0000007E, 0x0000000A
These are my specifications: Mobo: MSI P45 Diamond CPU: Intel core 2 Quad Q9650 3GHz RAM: Kingston HyperX (KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX), I've put in 2 X 2GB in slot 1 and 3 atm. HD: 1 Maxtor I, 1 Maxtor II (tried seperatly, no success) Graphics: Powercolor radeon HD 6850 PCS+ PSU: OCZ ModXstream Pro, 600W
The files are loaded from the DVD, then I see the windows logo. After that I usually get a BSOD. Right before I have to do the settings and create partitions. Very rarely I can get past it and start the installation, but then a blue screen comes up anyway. When I try in Safe mode, it loads drivers until driver.sys. Then it just stops.
Right now, I've put only one memory stick in (2GB) and I tested it with memtest86+, there were no errors. I also checked the hard drive for errors. I was able to successfully install windows 2000 professional. I also tried to install Windows XP, but that didn't work either. Could it be my graphics card? If so, what can I do about it. I don't have onboard graphics.
I've been a 32bit windows 7 user for quite long time and have a lot of softwares installed on my Lenovo g460 laptop. I'm planning to migrate to 64bit windows 7 ultimate OS.can i copy/clone my Drive C (where my OS is installed) to my Samsung S2 Portable External Hard Drive to still use my laptop while wiping out my Internal Drive C for a clean install of the 64bit OS? Will there be a conflict on changing Device Drivers to 64bit if booting up using my external drive? is it really possible to still use my laptop while doing a lot of software re-installations.
i know my computer is 64 bit windows compatable. At the moment i have windows 32 bit installed, as my computer crashed and i needed to do a fresh install of windows and installed the 32 bit version by mistake. I have a copy of the 64 bit windows and am trying to install it, however it keeps freezing on computer restart. I put the disk in and it installs all the necassary files, but when it restarts, it hangs on the "windows 7" screen, i just get the white writing on a black background but teh swirly things dont show up and i have to turn it off. What can be causing this as i need to install a 64 bit version so i can run the new preimer pro. (CS6
I am using Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. I am planning on installing the 64 bit version soon. Before I do I wanted to know if it could be installed on just one partition. My 500 GB hard disk has about 7 partitions ( C : , D: , E : etc). If I want to install windows 7 64 bit on the primary C: Drive (Clean install) would it affect the other partitions, which has data on them? (D: , E: etc?) like erase or not make them function. Also will my external hard disks which worked on 32 bit system (seagate goFlex Desk) work on the 64 bit after i plug it in after the install? All of my externals have my backups and I wouldn't want them erased.
