Hard Disk Overload And System Hanging

Mar 20, 2012

I bought an acer 4830TG in august 2011. Here's the description: AS4830TG-2434G75MN | Product Model..Everything worked fine with it. It was a very good machine... So when it was stolen from me I bought the exact same model and things went sour:I burned the recovery discs and subsequently installed a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate x64.Then I carefully installed all the necessary drivers etc... Exactly as i did with the first one.The problem is that every time i start an application that read/writes to the hard drives intensively, everything slows down, hangs or crash.When making a copy from my desktop computer over the network (directly through a crossed cat5e cable), the throughput initially reaches 50-70 Mb/s and rapidly comes down to 10-15 Mb/s. At this point, I can't to do anything with my laptop while copying in background... My browser is unresponsive for several seconds at a time, then is responsive again, then is unresponsive etc... If I try to play a video with VLC it seems it can't buffer more than 10 seconds of video before buffering again for several seconds (I solved that particular issue by moving the video file to a ramdisk prior to playback)... Simply opening My documents or the control panel takes more than a minute.

On rare occasions, the system crash and I get a BSOD. Note however that if I let the copy finish without doing anything else, everything works fine except for the low throughput. I know I can expect more than 15 Mb/s because with the first 4830TG it was generally over 50Mb/s.This kind of behavior also occurs when I'm burning a disc, when �torrent is checking a file, when I'm copying files from one partition to another etc.I can't figure out where lies the problem:

- all drivers are listed as "up to date" by windows update and there is no unknown device listed.
- RAM usage appears normal, the system is not overloaded with unnecessary applications. (At boot it uses about 1.2Go with AVG 2012 free, daemon tools, Malwarebyte's and dropbox)..

System Slows After Adding Second Hard Disk?

Jun 6, 2012

I just installed a second hard disk on my MSI GT780 machine with 8GB of RAM, both drives are detected working perfectly. The old hdd, a generic 5400 rpm, is mainly for storage and the new one, 7200 rpm is where I installed my OS. Both are 500GB in capacity.The only thing I noticed is that I'm getting some lags, CPU usage would spike up to 90-100%, RAM never goes over 50% while gaming (Batman Arkham City and Battlefield 2). This never happened before I added the 2nd hdd and before then, I can have 2 games in the background (GTA4 & Battlefield 3) while browsing and music steaming with no problems at all. I updated the motherboard and VGA drivers after a fresh install on the new hdd.I'm using a 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate using the same installer I had for the old hd.

How To Connect External Hard-drive To Be Used With System Repair Disk

Jun 29, 2011

I made a few months back a backup of my machine(windows 7 64bit edition). The size was like 25gb's so I saved it on my external hard-drive(I bought a case and put a hard drive(Seagate I think) in it). I know want to use this to restore my computer. So I made a system repair disk and loaded it up. However it cannot find my external hard-drive. I have "WindowsImageBackup " in my root directory of my external drive. Yet it still does not see it. I would install some drivers but I have no clue what drives I need as when I plug it into my computer and I am in windows 7 it finds my drive. What do I need to make window 7 recognize my image?

Disk Read Error/ Installer And Recovery Hanging?

Sep 1, 2012

My laptop has been experiencing the disk read error on startup. I called Sony (I have a Sony VAIO Laptop VPCF130FD) and they put me through all these steps including trying to boot up the recovery partition of the drive. Through the steps taken, they think that the OS is corrupt as the computer had been freezing before.The only step that has taken effect is the reset default values of the BIOS. When the recovery partition is selected it hangs between the "Starting Windows" screen and the first recovery screen.Sony wanted me to pay $60 for discs to be sent to my house, but I am building a gaming desktop PC so I thought I would just buy the OEM System Builder Win 7 Home Prem x64 and use that disc to install as I have the product key my laptop uses.So I bought the disc today and booted my laptop off of it but like the recovery partition, it sits between the Start Windows screen and the first install screen.

Format Hard Disk (Encrypted) Prompt - File System Not Recognizable

Jul 26, 2009

I have an external harddisk that is encrypted using TrueCrypt. Each time I plug it in Windows prompts me to format the disk because it doesn't have any recognizable file system. Vista didn't use to do this. I suppose it's because of the UAC changes and a user couldn't normally do this in Vista. How to disable this prompt in Windows 7?

Windows 7 Hanging - System Unusable?

Dec 5, 2012

We have a Maingear tower gaming system that is hanging after login for 20 to 30 minutes. This doesn't happen in Safe Mode; however we have reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch 4 times and reconfigured the SSD back to RAID 1 (former problem had them in another config). Patriot RAM 12GB passes with flying colors with Memtest 86+. We are at our wits end - tried just about everything other than dropping it off a tall building. We've removed extraneous cards, disabled legacy USB in BIOS, all to no avail. About 1 in 10 times it boots up and stays clean. Otherwise, it's useless and can't be used (just a spinning blue windows symbol).Even if you wait 1/2 hour and it clears up, it will rear it's ugly head later, making the system unusable.

This system has a clean install with only Zone Alarm installed (has the problem without Zone Alarm, too).We have very little to no BSOD and fan is running fine.Shall we pull the NVIDIA card?There was a shorted USB panel that was replaced by Maingear before this happened, but that may be a red herring. The panel works fine now.This is an i7 970 3.2 GHz 6 core system, ASUS X58 Sabertooth motherboardI thought it was hardware - not so sure now as Safe Mode seems stable

The USB panels works fine now (nothing is plugged into it right now).

System 'hanging' When Accessing Files In Certain Ways X64

Jul 17, 2010

So I've been using my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit install on my Sony AR670 laptop for a couple months straight now with no real issues but this one that started last week with no apparent cause and is getting very annoying.The system 'hangs' or 'freezes' in a way when I do certain things like create a new file/folder or select a file from a 'browse' file box, especially say when I upload a file to a forum, like this one, using the "Manage Attachments" option... I use Chrome but this happens even in Windows so I'm sure it's not Chrome related... it has something to do with file access is my guess.During the 'hang' I can still move the mouse and scroll windows but I can't press buttons, open menus, or issue any 'commands' if I do I get the windows 'alert' sound and nothing happens. The length of time of the 'hang' varies from a couple seconds to maybe 15 seconds or so when really bad.Because it's so hard to describe exactly I haven't had much luck searching for a similar problem.It also happens when renaming or moving files... The file will seem to revert back to its original name for a few seconds during which time I can't really do anything. If I try to rename it or move it again I get a message the file no longer exists then it will change to the name I gave it the first time.

CPU Overload And Lag

Jan 4, 2012

my CPU is pretty much always 100% loaded even though nothing resource-consuming is running at the time. Windows's built in task manager shows nothing. Process Explorer only sees one svchost consuming up to 30% at the time, obviously nothing close to 100%. The resulting lag is glaringly obvious and horrible - I can barely move my mouse, software takes up to a minute to launch and randomly hangs up on me. Audio lags and skips too. I have immediately tried to reinstall my chipset drivers but that did nothing. Safe mode with network support lags, regular safe mode doesn't. DPC Latency Checker says my driver delay is up to 60 000 μsec: for comparison, anything greater than 500 is a problem.

Network Overload

Dec 7, 2009

We have a wireless network in our house, and under normal circumstances, it works fine. There are 2 desktops connected through Ethernet, and most of the time, 1 laptop using the wireless. However, whenever my sisters come home from school, the connection suddenly goes haywire. They represent 2 more laptops.

At all times, at least one, usually more, connections are lost, and cannot be restored unless the cable modem is reset. It seems obvious enough- the router cannot handle that many connections. I am correct in believing the only way to remedy this is to buy a more powerful router, right?

BSOD Ivy Bridge Stability/CPU Overload

Aug 14, 2012

The other thread was really poorly titled, and im getting an issue: Could not find file 'C:msinfo32.nfo'.I have a pc with a 3770k intel cpu and a msi-g45 mobo long story short im getting BSOD's.what seems to happen is ill turn the pc on and it will gradually slow down untill it bsods, it doesnt seem to be affected so much by what i do it seems to inevitably crash though.Ive noticed through CPU-Z where my CPU will jump between around 800-1600mhz to 3700 which of course is a feature with the new chips but after some time itll stop jumping and sit at 1600 and then 800 then my core freq will drop between 100 and 50 and kind of swap around there before crashing.I thought maybe my psu wasnt giving enough power to the chip but i tested that and it seems to be working fine.

Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk And Press Enter

Oct 13, 2010

I've been having this error even after reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7 on my desktop. I've done reformatting / reinstalling Windows 7 several times, yet the problem still occurs. I'm thinking of my HDD as being corrupted or messed up. The problem occurred after I accidentally hit the CPU when I was stretching my foot. The screen froze after that. Upon rebooting it, 'Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter' occurs. After I entered the DVD installer of Windows 7, the screen just hangs.

BOOT DISK ERROR: INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

Feb 17, 2010

I have been having a bit of trouble with windows 7 lately, namely that it won't start up right. When I boot from the drive normally, it gives me the classic "BOOT DISK ERROR: INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message.

However, I soon discovered that if I boot from the Windows 7 cd and do not boot from it (By ignoring the "Press a key to boot from CD or DVD..." Windows 7 boots up fine.
I've tweaked my BIOS over and over, but the same problem persists. The drive is brand new and fine. What can I do?

Windows 7 Windows Explorer Hanging Up System

Sep 19, 2012

I have two problems dealing with Windows Explorer on my 32/64 bit microsoft MSI Laptop. I use Firefox browser not Windows Explorer which keeps getting involved/active anyway I guess.Whenever I try to use the search feature (for the computer not the internet) the computer gets hungup and says Windows Explorer is not responding what do I want to do so I select Stop Program and it usually does stop but once or twice had to shut it down.Don't know why this is happening and if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them.So - I figured to just remove Windows Explorer but I can't find it anywhere on my computer.On two separate methods to remove it Windows Explorer is not on the list and if I go into search looking for it I get hung up SPINNING WHEEL AGAIN.Which is interesting because I have the same problem for different reasons I guess right now on my Apple Snow Leopard too so I'm having a special I guess on SPINNING WHEELS. I forget who did that song back in the 70s but maybe I should look it up.

Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk

When starting the computer, I keep getting "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". Nothing works other than putting in the boot disk and hitting the restart button on the tower. Then it will boot up and run fine. But how do I stop it from having to have the disk in order to load? Checked in the BIOS and the hard drive is the first load.

Non-System Disk Identified As System Disk?

Jan 25, 2012

I was going to make a disk image of a fresh Windows 7/64 install but when attempting to do so using the windows utility it insists on labeling and including in the image a completely separate data-only disk claiming it is also a system disk. Unfortunately it will not allow me to un-check for purposes of exclusion.

Probably should be looking at the root of the problem and determine why this Data Disk is labeled a System Disk. It is an older drive and has been used in a couple computer builds so may have at one time had an OS installed but I can find no indication of such, plus, I usually format before re-purposing.

System Image On System Restore Disk Not Reading After Crash?

Oct 2, 2012

Using preinstalled Win 7 Home Premium 64bit on an HP 6813w Pavilion. The original hard drive, a Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 1Tb crashed.1) System Recovery discs was made along with a System Recovery with System Image disc.2) A more current System Image was made on an external hard drive.The Hitachi was replaced with the same model. Checked bios to make sure it was installed correctly.Under System Recovery, Image Restore, Select a System Image Backup there is nothing in the table to choose from as far as a source (disc drive or external drive).A) System Recovery (3 discs) has the HP preinstall file folder on the 3rd disc but is not read by the System Recovery program.B) Under System Restore, Image Restore, Advanced, it asks for a network or driver to be installed. That opens up the directory of C: which is the external hard drive. Under WindowsImageBackup the computer name is identified followed by three entries:[CODE]It seems to me the Recovery and System Restore discs are not functional. Am not a technical person but I have taken this as far as I know how at this point.Printed out all the instructions from HP and Microsoft to follow step by step but the failed discs will not allow me to move forward.
