my brother recently installed windows 7 on his pc, and since then we have had internet connection issues, but it is ok when you run laptops wirelessly (hope that makes sense!) which are running vista and xp. the network provider (orange) who say everything is fine. although i am not entirely convinced because we have low status and slow connections as soon as soon as it hits about 5.30pm. how do i check if throttling is happening?also, he recently installed a brand new processor and a brand new graphics card put in. it is a nivida geforce gt 220.i am an avid user of secondlife and this constantly crashes out the connection, which is only reconnected after a restart. if i watch or use anything such as Internet, any video or music streaming off any other site, or online gaming that has a high graphic content, the internet connection drops out too, and i get a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it. if i run the repair and diagnose thing that comes up - it says there is no issue detected. but clearly there is something wrong. my brother also separated the logins so my brother and i have different passwords. the connection drops on both logins. if i stick to text based internet sites, then it stays connected a whole lot longer. i can go for hours without having to restart. however, if i break into videochat on msn or gmail chat, there is a lot of breakups in sound, and lag in type chat - going into cam chat crashes me out again totally.if i unplug the live box, and replug it - i have to restart the whole system. in fact if i restart the system it connects straight away - unfortunately, if i return to the same stream - a few minutes in, it crashes again. it's driving me crazy!anyone any idea what i can do. i have no idea about computers at all...i have googled but don't get the responses as i am not entirely sure what i am looking for as i am not computer minded.computer spec:dell inspiron 530intel core duo cpu e6750 2.66ghzprocessor: 4gb (2.75gb useable)32bit operating systemwindows 7 orange network, livebox
I've just started to encounter a problem with Win7. My PC is fine until I connect to the net using wireless. I use a dongle and can connect it to the PC without issue and everything works correctly. However when I connect to the internet my pc freezes and thats it I need to forcefully restart. I've tried closing programs in the taskmanager so I'm left with the bare essentials but something is killing it.I've tried booting in safe mode with networking and this WILL work and allows me to browse and work the PC as normal, however booting back in normal mode produces the same issue.I've tried a clean boot and booted with only system requirements and not any startup items but the problem persists

While I play Counter-Strike 1.6,the internet crashes once every 5 mins,I can't enter any page via IE9,the game won't start up for 40 seconds-1 min,or so,but the interesting thing is,I can talk on Yahoo Messenger,or my uTorrent keeps downloading w/o interruption.The router's(I have a Belkin router,and I'm connected to wireless) firmware is up to date,and my Atheros AR9285's(network adapter) driver is up to date.
I have a brand new laptop. Toshiba I5 with Windows 7. Since I have it, I have problems with Internet Explorer. It crashes constantly. Everytime, I'm navigating in it, suddenly a popup appears saying that Internet Explorer incountered a problem and Windows will try to resolve the problem. But then when it stop searching, it says that they couldn't resolve the problem and when they can will let me know.Yesterday I was feathup and downloaded Modzila Firefox. I'm sick and tired of this problem and would like to resolve it.I tried going on the microsoft website et download again Internet Explorer but it says I have the lastest version.
This is seriously why I hate IE. As soon as I click the Internet Explorer 9 icon to start it... it crashes. It appears for a split second then closes.I tried running the Advanced SystemCare 4 "Fix IE" option.... and it didn't work. What do I need to do. I need it for a few sites.
Everytime I try and open internet explorer it immediately crashes. I have read on some forums that it could be caused by an Add On, therefore I have tried running internet explorer from the sytem tools menu with No Add Ons, but it still does the same thing opens and immediately crashes. I have runn CCleaner hoping that perhaps a registry problem was the cause, but this did not resolve the issue either.
My high speed modem locks-up frequently and I have to reboot the modem and computer. The modem was checked out and it's okay. Is there something in windows7 or my computer harware that could be doing this?
Every time I try to attach a photo or doc to an email using either Yahoo, Comcast or whatever browser, the system freezes and crashes. I called Microsoft and spent over an hour with one of their techs, and he got it to work for about a week, now it's doing it again
I recently re-installed Windows 7 from some rescue disks, and everything, with the exception of Internet Explorer is now running fine! Basically whenever I load a web page in IE it crashes after a short time (5 - 10 seconds), and I then have to exit with CTRL + SHIFT + ESC (Task Manager)! Inside task manager I actually have to terminate the IE processes, as IE won't exit if I attempt to shut down through the Applications tab.
Initially IE8 was installed from the rescue disks, and I have since upgraded to IE9, but both versions are behaving just as badly as each other.
I have even tried to start IE in "No-Add Ons" mode from the "Accessories" menu - however after a short time it still crashes. Now I have no add ons enabled, I have deleted everything (in IE history), scanned for viruses (there are none), and I am wondering if there is some way of repairing IE?
P.S.: I have installed other browsers, but I actually need IE for running some Microsoft Online Services, all other browsers are only supported in "lite" mode!!!
I installed NHL 99 to my Windows 7 laptop (Home premium 32-bit) but all i get the screen with their copyright info and then it ends and my computer says it had stopped working...
As described here: 'Microsoft is offering users running Windows 7 a fix designed to resolve issues related to Windows Explorer. According to the software giant, Windows Explorer can crash in certain scenarios, a glitch which also seems to be impacting Windows Server 2008 R2, not just Windows 7. It appears that the issue is not exactly new, since it affects the RTM versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as the two operating systems after their first upgrade was released. Essentially, the release of Service Pack 1 doesn't seem to have resolved Windows Explorer crashes. "This issue usually occurs when you perform some operations that are related to the taskbar or to the Address bar," the Redmond company revealed.
I have a partitioned disk with windows 64 bit on one partition and windows 32 bit on another. Whenever I boot up the 32 bit partition it either goes to whitescreen straightaway, or crashes just after login in.
I have Windows 7 64 bit laptop - and suffered two crashes today, while it was generally idling. The only new thing today is that there were some Windows update last night and an Adobe Flash update this morning.
I'm having a problem with a new computer I bought with Windows 7 (64bit) installed. At seemingly random points in time it will crash on me completely. I've managed to find out from a dumpfile that the likely cause of this problem is something called Rdyboost.sys I've managed to find it listed as a driver in windows/System32. Apart from that though I'm not sure how to find it, and was wondering.
I've been using Win 7 64-bit since the beta and no issues at all - until I installed SP1. Now I get constant lockups and it seems to be related to the video driver about 50% of the time. I've done a clean install of the latest driver, tried removing SP1, done a system restore to before SP1 (clean driver install after that too) and nothing seems to work. I'm thinking I'll have to reformat (which I really don't want to do).
The windows logo on the loading screen doesnt show. So the first step I tried was trying to boot into safe mode but there is problem one. I cannot boot into safe mode becasue whenever I hit F8 it does nothing and just boots into windows like normal. I know my keyboard works because if I hit F12 to list my boot device options it works. So since I could not boot into safe mode I used my win 7 dvd to try a system restore. That didnt work, neither did the repair windows startup option. After all this I took my hdd out connected it to my laptop and then ran a check disk. It didnt find a errors just missing files.
About a week or two ago, when I tried to start up my computer, at some point in the start up process (before my desktop was displayed), a blue screen of death popped up and i had to restart my computer. I didn't think much of it at the time since my computer started up fine after a restart.But since then, its been happening more and more frequently. I've noticed that what usually happens is I'll leave my computer for sometime and it will go into sleep mode, and then when I try to start it up again, it won't wake back up. So I'll turn it off, and when I turn it back on, I get a BSOD again. By now i have to try to start it about 4 or 5 times before it finally starts up all the way.
Also, occasionally the BSOD will pop up while I'm actually working on my computer.Also of note is that its not the same STOP error code every time. I've started writing them down today and this is the stop codes I've seen so far today...[CODE]
I have been experiencing BSOD nastiness for the past two weeks. It seems to have started by one of two things. I tried to download a trial version of Corel PSP 4x. This file was downloaded at 7:30 PM on 1-10-12. I opened the file, used it a little, and went to bed. No problems!. That night, Windows downloaded a bunch of updates at about 3am. My wife used the computer that day with no problems. Later that day, another batch of windows updates was installed. That is when trouble started. The updates were:
KB2584146, 2644615, 2631813, 890830, 2538242.
What I have tried (may not be in precise chronological order): I tried to uninstall PSP x4. The uninstall crashed, leaving a partial install. I did a memory test. No problems found.I did a system restore to a restore point before the PSP install, but I did not immediately update the windows updates.Based on the reliability monitor, it looks like this worked until the updates were reinstalled automatically on 1/14. (Maybe, it is a little hard to tell.)Since then I have updated the BOIS (megatrends m4a89TD pro usb3 from version 1101 to version 1901.)Still having problems today. DMP files attached, PerfMon files attached. Misc Info per "BSOD Posting Page"Windows 7 64 bit retail version installed on new build in Feb. 2011.Other system specs included in profile.
so i recently built my gaming desktop and every now and then windows crashes and i get a blue screen which says dumping physical memory. i read the thread about what i should upload in order to get help however i dont know how to run a system health report as i cant find the program in start.i have disabled the auto restart and have managed to see two of the errors stop: 0x0000004e and stop: 0x0000001a
I've been having problems for a few weeks with a crashing computer. When I tried to open "Programs and Features", it would crash every time. No crash dumps. No BSOD. Just a hard reboot like some yanked the plug out. It would also happen randomly.
After running countless tests on hardware, checking for viruses, and TWO re-format and clean installs, I finally isolated the problem to iTunes. I was just about finishing my 2nd rebuild, and it was working just fine. I installed the iTunes 10 64-bit version, and BAM, it started crashing. I then installed Revo Uninstaller, and removed iTunes and all of the other Apple crap from my machine. Voila! No more problems.
I would like to be able to have iTunes installed so that I can manage my iPods, but can't seem to have it on there without hosing up my system.
i believe updates were installed on friday night. yesterday, i went to go to system restore, and pick the may 19th backup to restore to, but it froze before i could pick it -_- and i just gave up and waited until today. but as i went to go restore a while ago, the back ups that were shown yesterday no longer appear. the hard drive failed and was replaced about a month and a half ago (SMART error i believe) and it has been working fine until saturday. the freezing has only gotten worse today, currently i am trying to watch a film for history class and my laptop freezes every 10 or 15 minutes, requiring me to restart the computer manually.
I have recently bought fallout 3 game of the year edition for my Samsung r580 laptop; it runs on windows 7 home premium 32bit. I have successfully installed the game and can play it for about 2-3 minutes before it crashes. Nothing can get me out of the crash except ctrl alt delete. I have gotten the updated version 1.7 but the problem still continues.
i have Web Studio for building and maintaining my website. I was on No. 4 and it worked well on XP and 7. I have upgraded to 5 and works perfectly on my XP laptop but constantly crashes on 7. It does all sorts of strange things, the words I keep getting is 'Web Studio has stopped working, looking for a solution.(I tried reinstalling - no difference. Now I have exactly the same program file transferred from my laptop view memory stick, still problems
I decided to give Win 7 a shot so I set up a dual boot with 7 Professional 64bit on a new partition and my old XP SP3 on another. This is my media computer with all my movies and TV shows that my 4 other XP computers pull from for viewing.I set up a workgroup, see it fine from the XP computers and can start watching shows on the xp machines but after 8-15 minutes the stream crashes. I boot back into XP on the media computer and stream is fine forever. I"m using Nero 8 for the viewing on the xp computers. Have searched the internet with no solution.
It's about 6-7 months that my sister has an HP laptop running Win7, whereas I had an old desktop running WinXP. The HP never had problems of any sort, never crashed, never had BSODs etc: the only crash I remeber was triggered when I tried to connect in a local network my PC to hers to swap files. The effect was an almost instantaneous BSOD on her HP, triggered again when I tried the same procedure, and since then I never tried to repeat the connection.
Recently (less than a month ago) I bought a new PC, this one running Win7 altogether, very stable, smooth and without problems of sort. However, since my new computer arrived, my sister's HP sometimes crashes without apparent reason. It seems that it's my very PC the cause: some days ago, I purposedly left it turned off for 3 consecutive days, and her HP never crashed.
My windows 7 freezes when scrolling, either using the mouse to scroll on screen or using the mouse wheel.It does this almost every time, except sometimes when I scroll extremely slowly.The problem has persisted for months.The crash results in a striped screen.After a little while I can usually restart in Safe mode.After running for sometime in safe mode I can often restart and launch windows successfully.It runs sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for less. until I try scrolling at normal speed, then it crashes again.I have had the machine checked over for hardware issues and apparently there are none.I have been advised to do a clean re-install of Windows 7. i am reluctant to do this if there might be another way.
I own an older Win 7 X64 PC. The thing runs fine without problems except when I try to schedule it for a disk error check (Chkdsk) upon restart? When I schedule that the PC is able to reboot, start up and go into error checking and finish part 1, but when it gets to part two it crashes about 25% of the way through it? When I say crashes, what happens is the monitor light goes from blue to amber and the thing just sits there like it went to sleep. No matter what I do it won't come out of this? If I hit the restart button it starts with three beeps and just sits there. I have to completely shut the PC off, let it sit there for a few seconds then restart it.
Once I restart the PC I have to cancel out of the disk check or else it will go through the same thing again. Once I cancel out fo the disk check it boots up and runs fine without any problems that I'm aware of?
How do I get this PC to run a disk check (chkdsk) all the way through to completion without it crashing? Should I just put the thing back to a version that was working (from backup)
