Hangs/Freezes On X-25M Windows 7?
Mar 7, 2011
I just installed a new ssd (X-25m) on a clients computer along with Windows 7 64bit and 8GB of RAM. The computer hangs for anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 seconds+ and sometimes just freezes up all together until I restart. Sometimes, it freezes icons and I can still use the mouse, and can double click to start a program, but it won't start up until it unfreezes, then everything I've opened suddenly opens all at once. Other times, even the mouse is frozen, and I have to wait 30s to a minute before I get it back.
Things I've tried- all Windows Updates, and updated all chipset drivers for the mobo (MSI P6N SLI Platinum)

At various, seemingly random points throughout using the computer, Windows 7 simply freezes or locks up. No BSOD or error code is given, it simply becomes completely unresponsive. The only means I have of shutting down/restarting is to hold the power button and force it to turn off.Using 32 bit Windows 7 Professional Downloaded and clean installed over XP Home a couple weeks ago Computer is an eMachines T3104 with a AMD Sempron 3100+ processor - circa 2005 In an effort to combat old hardware with the new Windows 7 and freezing, I upgraded to 2GB RAM, 430 watt PSU and an AGP 8x video card (Jaton 3DFORCE FX 5200TV) I tried to update the BIOS (currently Phoenix-Award 6.00PG) today. That program hangs up while Windows 7 continued to work. I'd love for it to be fully operational. It is not used for any gaming - online or otherwise. I use it for internet and school work (Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc)

Ill try to make this short and simple, i had same pc for around 3 years now, finally managed to ruin my first win 7 instalation by being lazy, that resulting in long needed reinstall, no problem there,But after everything was done, my pc started randomly freezing for around 1-5 mins ( depends, usually around 3 mins ) then it just comes back alive like nothing happened, sometimes video driver crashes My first thought was that my hdd finally dying on me, but after numerous test found nothing wrong on any of them and freezes doesnt always occur on hdd usage i ruled that out, some googling blamed it on new video drivers, got other ones, same, still freezing, reseted my bios to default, still same, sometimes i can turn on a game and play 2 hours straight and nothing will happen, next time i can startup movie and it will freeze 2 times in 5 mins, already reinstalled coddecs and video players i am just running out of ideas here, never had this issue before, using same windows 7, same install, same pc and all of my drivers/programs are same ones i used

After recently building a custom PC, I am doing a clean install of Windows 7 (64 bit) and all goes well through the installation process (loading, expanding files, etc) except when after the 2nd restart when it starts up for the first time. It freezes or hangs on the black “starting windows” screen (the one with the new colored windows logo).
I have tried installation a number of times, including with a bare bones configuration (2 Gb RAM, 1 HDD, 1 DVD Drive, GPU, and all other peripherals disconnected) and still the same thing happens. I have also tried the process using the VGA cable instead of the DVI.
I was able to successfully install XP after failing to install Win7, so I don't think my HDD is bad. I am also using a PS/2 Keyboard
System:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad (Q9650) 3Ghz/1333Mhz/12MB
MBoard: Asus P5K-E
GPU: Sapphire HD 2600XT
HDD: 2 x WD 640 Gb 7200/32MB/SATA 3.0Gb/s (Caviar Black WD6401AALS)
RAM: Mushkin 4Gb DDR2 SDRAM (2 x 2Gb)
PSU: Antec NeoPower HE550w (ATX 12v)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) OEM system builder pack
All components were purchased new from Newegg. I also have some peripherals: 2 DVD drives, Multi card reader, extra USB, firewire ports, wireless LAN card (although I disconnected those for the initial install attempt).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am really at a loss to figure this one out. Could it be something to do with my video card driver? (Do I need to install that in the BIOS?)--I can see everything fine on my monitor though.

win 7 hangs on startup and freezes or BSOD 0x000000d1 within 1 minute usually. system runs fine if I boot to safe mode.no serious hardware or software changes around the time it started happening (that i recall) I didn't use my pc much for a few days and then the first time i noticed (around June 7th, 2012) I just logged in and there was a popup saying something like windows had recovered from an unexpected shutdown and the system was really slow and then it froze. Makes me think maybe a power outage corrupted something (i'm not on a UPS) or a windows update went badly. i tried to update several drivers in safe mode but none were succesfull. Catalyst Install Manager says: "Failed to load detection driver"sfc /scannow reported no violations perfmon /report gives me...."Error: An error occured while attempting to generate the report. The system cannot find the path specified. "My oldest system restore point says June 7th, 2012 so i did restore but it still has the problem.I built the system 1-2 years ago and haven't re-installed the OS since.

I've got a new copy of windows 7 (32 bit version) I have got 4 GB ram only 3,25 in use (like I had on the XP version, running on the same PC) and after I boot up the PC I just look at the desktop, play with some random games, create and delete folders, do some little stress to the RAM or sometimes just doing nothing. The only boot that works is safe mode and its variants.
Things that I've done in the past 7 days:
-I checked RAM integrity - no errors
-Everything is up to date (drivers, everything) - it hanged/froze even with a fresh copy of Windows 7
-I use wireless if that is a problem, found some errors about it and will post them after this list
-enabled services and disabled them VIA msconfig (toying around I found out that it WONT CRASH with any internet service on normal mode)
-I checked Windows 7 compatibility and it's 100% compatible
-Tried to update BIOS but I don't think it will solve anything anyways
-Used dozens of registry cleaners (CCleaner and lots; lots more) - still nothing
-Put a second HDD on my machine with Windows 7 same version, it still crashed, but on the second machine the second HDD works great.

I have an Asus u56e laptop I got back in December 2011, and recently I did I clean reinstall of my system because it kept freezing and locking up while simply just browsing the web and listening to iTunes. I don't use this laptop for games, but after the clean install, I updated all my drivers, software, windows updates, etc. and I still get hangs and freezes that last 5 seconds to sometimes a full minute and all I'm doing is listening to music and browsing websites with maybe two or three tabs open in Firefox. I really have absolutely no idea what could be wrong so I came here seeking any kind of much needed help and assistance. I don't have a lot of programs installed and I don't run a lot of programs at once, just maybe one or two apps usually. My problem is I will be browsing on Firefox listening to music, then iTunes will hang for a few seconds and the music freezes, then Firefox freezes too sometimes for a few seconds also, then it goes back to normal, and this happens very very frequently to the point of frustration and I simply don't understand why a new clean laptop would have an issue such as this. Bad hard drive? Bloatware from Asus?Asus Laptop Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1, Intel Core i5 2.40GHz, 6.0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 3000

I just did some upgrades to my pc. Here are the current specs:
Motherboard: Crosshair V
CPU: AMD FX 6100
GPU: eVGA GTX 680 HC
RAM: 4x4GB Ballistix Tactical Tracer
PSU: Corsair 750Watt
OS: Windows 7 x64 Clean Install
HD: WDC-WD2500KS-00MJB0
Like it says above, this is a clean install. I have tested the RAM with Memtest86+ for 8 hours and found no errors. I have tested the HD with Seatools and found no errors. I have run Prime95 for hours without errors. I water cool my CPU and GPU and temps max at 37C.The OS constantly hangs, freezes, or whatever its called NONSTOP. Most of the time I'm able to move the mouse but can't DO anything with it. Eventually (within minutes) it comes back to life and does everything I'd been trying to do while it was frozen. I don't get much time inbetween freezes (a minute max between freezes). I've reinstalled the OS several times and no joy. At first I thought it was a bad motherboard, so I RMA'd it and it is still having the same issue. These freezes began happening well before video drivers were even installed (or any other drivers for that matter). It even does the same thing in SAFE MODE.from the EVENT VIEWER:
In the last hour: 19 Service Control Manager Error 7001
In the last hour: 44 amd_sata Warning 129 (this one always comes in pairs and always 30 seconds apart)
In the last hour: 169 Service Control Manager Information 7036

About week ago my computer started freezing and rebooting and then hangs at bios splash screen (will stay there with nothing happening for hours if u let it) until you reboot it than it comes back fine until it does it again. The only thing I noticed is if the machine is off for a while it takes a lot longer for it to happen, If you restart it it last around 15 -20 mins.
1) Updated all drivers and checked device manger for errors.
2) checked and defragged drive C: drive (ssd)
3) checked both for events and dmp files (nothing ) made sure reporting was on
3) Ran windows mem check froze twice while testing once with both strips and once with only one strip installed
4) replaced ram

I have an Asus G73JH-BST7 Laptop and recently it's been freezing. For the past two months it has had issues with programs hanging for 1-3 minutes then quickly responding again. About a week ago the laptop began to freeze and wouldn't come back and would required a hard restart. I decided to make use of my warranty and took it into a geek squad store. They told me they ran chkdsk and "other" tests to check the HDD and it passed all the tests and they couldn't "Replicate" the problem. So, I took the laptop back and it's still hanging/freezing. Whats the best way to go about diagnosing this?

i have random freezes sometimes they are glitchy and rarely bsod all on bootup or up to about half hour in (which also turns of the mouse). also Internet doesn't autoplay playlists and all sugestions next to the video are black. this started a few weeks to a month ago, first it seemed just a minor annoyance but it started to become more often the last few days. i've tried some checks but without success.
also i remember the week before those crashes that twice the screen driver crashed for a second or 2 and then a message popped up about how a monitor driver crash was adjusted, always when i played a certain game that is still in beta so i taught it was the game.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 will hang after the "Starting Windows" logo, showing only a black screen, forcing me to hold down the power button.Windows will boot in safe mode and will boot if I disable my video card from Device Manager.I have run hard drive and memory diagnostics without any errors showing up.I did not change anything before the problem began occuring.I've already tried restoring to the initial system image from Lenovo OneKey Recovery (I'm using an IdeaPad Y560) and using the Windows System Restore, as well as updating drivers and BIOS.Attached are my event logs in administrative view from today (The problem has been occuring for a week or two, however, I don't have access to logs from that time), in which I reinstall my drivers and attempt to install a download manager in safe mode among other things.

I am trying to upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Win 7 Ultimate using a DVD bought at retail. The upgrade process hangs while Gathering programs and settings, always at the 86% mark. Yesterday it hung at 6:00 PM and I let it run overnight -- at 9:00 AM next day it was still hung. No error message, no shutdown, just sitting there waiting.Following suggestions from various sources I have tried working from an empty start folder in Vista, and from a clean boot in Vista. Neither made any difference. I have turned off antivirus and taken down the firewall. My system is approved for upgrade by MS. I have tried starting the upgrade program from Vista safe mode and by booting from the DVD, but was not allowed to continue. I have done everything suggested by MS as a prelude to upgrading.My computer is a Dell Inspiron 530.

Windows 7 Professional 64bit When I try to perform a restart, the computer goes into oblivion. Drive light flickers a bit but I've let it rest over an hour and it didn't restart. Have to press the reset button. Otherwise everything seems OK. I've run deep scans with Malwarebytes and Kaspersky and no warnings?

It hangs on start up; it gets past the Bios but stays at the Windows Logo and says "Loading Windows" until I am forced to shut down. Here are my specs:
EVGA 780i mobo
3.0ghz intel duo-core processor
4 gigs of DDR2 RAM
1 TB seagate HDD
1 gig of video (Gforce 9800GT 512mb SLI)
So my computer was working perfectly fine until this happened. However, this has happened before! This same exact problem happened before, so I figured it was the hard drive so I got a new one(the one I have now).Fine, it worked for about 1 month. Then this happened... again. I do not know what the problem is. Like I said in the description if my computer does get past the windows logo and I log on, after about 10 minutes of running I freeze and have to force shut down. Then I am stuck back at the Windows Logo... I have also tried to insert the Windows CD itself and try to repair windows, but even then it still won't get past the windows logo.

A friend asked me to take a look at her laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite L775 with Windows 7 Home Premium. The computer starts fine until the green progress bar finishes loading. After that, a cursor appears and can be moved, but nothing else loads. F2 loads BIOS during startup, F12 loads a boot menu, and every other F key (other than F8) loads an OS selection screen. F8 does nothing. I've also tried booting from a restoration disc. The pixelized progress bar loads (slowly, as is usual when booting from a disc) but then the normal boot process continues with the same problem as before. I can't even get into Safe Mode to try and troubleshoot anything.

I have a problem with my laptop (A Sony Vaio VPCEB4J0E) Basically, whenever I tell it to shut down, it doesn't actually do so and only closes Windows explorer so I'm left looking at my desktop whilst nothing happens.

This is something annoying and surprising- I thought Microsoft fixed these issues. What happens is when ever I start a media player (Power DVD, My TV Tuner, WMC or MC) the computer freezes for a moment (about 20 seconds) and then becomes normal. Same happens when I exit the media program.

I successfully transferred my WIN 7 and Programs (they are on an OCZ SATA SSD) to a new motherboard and CPU. Until here no problem, the OS started perfectly, went online and activated my copy of Windows 7. Then I shut down and connected my second HD, a small 320 GB Scorpio where I save all my personal files. Reboot and Windows 7 after loading, freezes. Had to reset and boot in save mode but no information about the problem. devices are OK, the disk is seen from the system with its correct letter but when I boot normally it still freezes the OS. As soon as I disconnect the SATA HD's cable, Windows 7 boot perfectly. On UEFI Bios all the 6 SATA channels are enabled, I also tried to change connectors but the problem is still there. If additional details are needed

I have spent all day failing to install Windows 7 on my system. The only thing I have done since the last successful install is to create a RAID 5 using 3 259GB HDDS. The system worked when the 3 HDDs were not RAIDed, but now installation hangs after the second restart. All I get is the black screen with the mouse arrow; nothing else. I tried the cmpmgmtloader solution and disabled the network adaptor and usb controller which were showing as having problems. I even tried un-RAIDing the HDDs and going back to the original state and still it hangs.

I've got problems with this system I'm building where it hangs (crashes?) on shutdown.
System:
Motherboard Commell (QM67) LV-67HTXD
CPU Intel Core i7-2620M
RAM 2x 4GB, DDR3, 1333MHz, Kingston
PSU MiniBox M2-ATX-HV
1. The problem only appears in Windows 7 64 bit
2. Clean start and shutdown in Win XP - implies software issue not hardware
3. I haven't tried Windows 7 32bit yet.
Here's some details of my investigation so far:- All of these tests failed to solve the problem.
Unplugged all devices. Fresh install Added manufacturer base drivers. Windows updates applied Safe mode Windows clean start only one memory slot filled (both slots)
In desperation I've created a trace file (using this article Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace - Windows 7 Forums)

i've recently done a fresh install inc SP1 of win 7Pro x64 and now the pc almost constantly hangs on shutdown.everythings up to date driver wise etc.I was aware of this problem on my older quadcore machine but had it very infrequently, this happens almost constantly on my new one.Found a hotfix which i tried to install but had a warning say that "not applicable to my computer", i then realised that the problem was addressed in SP1.

I'm having random Windows 7 complete system hangs.They produce no errors or warnings in the log other than a notice of an incomplete shutdown. I'm using the intel chipset driver for Vista with the system, and the Realtek HD audio driver for vista with it (this was happening before that driver being installed) and everything else is the default windows 7 driver, it's guaranteed to happen on Skype starting up with a lot of unread events, and copying a file to the desktop with Filezilla, but sometimes it's just random. Complete freeze, no mouse, no keyboard, no ctrl+alt+del Here's my computer specs:
Windows 7 RC (7100) x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz (was overclocked to 3.51 during install, is now reduced to stock, problem remains)
ATI Radeon 4650 HD 1 GB version
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L motherboard (Intel ICH10 chipset)
6 GB of DDR2 800 PC6400 RAM
a 640 GB WD Caviar Green HDD (SATA slave, not boot drive)
a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda GT 7200.11 (SATA master boot drive)
Sony DVD-RAM drive
Linksys PCI 802.11G wireless adapter (using 64 bit ralink drivers since the chipset matches, no prior issues when used on Windows 7 7000) Being through, I ran stress testers on maximum load on each hardware component, no crash on full CPU load, no crash on HDD load test, both drives and no crash on high RAM usage.I also remember similair symptoms on Vista, but this also did not happen iirc on Windows 7 7000.The system was overclocked during install, I reset the BIOS to "optimised defaults" after a few crashes, no difference.

I am helping out a friend by re-installing Windows 7 on his laptop. Unfortunately the laptop had been infected beyond repair by a virus/malware and would not boot past bios.When installing Windows 7 x32, I make it to the "Setup is starting..." screen and it does not continue. It is not the disk as I have used the same one to install it on my laptop. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545 with 4gb of ram and 500gb HDD space
