I've only noticed this on Windows 7, I have NO idea what's going on.
I know sometimes when your computer is badly frozen that the keyboard won't respond and the lights won't even respond when you press numlock and capslock.
Well my keyboard works just fine (I'm typing from it now) but the LIGHTS do not! The numlock light is on, the capslock and scroll lock lights are off. They won't change no matter what I do. Same with numlock. The lights stays on even when it's off.
If I press capslock I still get capslock SEE. But the lights won't change. O.o
Obviously it's not a major issue that's inhibiting my experience but it is a little confusing because I can't tell what locks are on or off.
I put a new m/board in my pc and the board lights up and hdd lights stays on but no post ? it just stays that way it is a 1 Gigabyte SKT-1366 GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard (Rev 1.0)
My computer suddenly froze, well it appeared that it had, it was infact just the Keyboard and Mouse. I turned it off manually and re-booted. Lone behold the Keyboard and mouse still don't work. This has happened before and I found a fix for it by following some steps to do something like an electrical reset or something where you turn it on and off and hold a button in for a certain amount of time etc, BUT I can't remember how to do it.
my computer turns on then off over and over what does that mean gigabyte gah55mud2h I5 2.66 gig what can i check i know how to build my own comp. i installed a new chip because i was told by geek squad but it is stil tuening on for a second then off then on over and over what should i do?
just noticed my cd drive light flashing on/off constantly during playback and the HD light is flashing in exactly the same rythym. totally wierd, never noticed anything like that before! is that unusual or just...something new? using windows 7.
I remember seeing in a thread a long time ago on here that there was a way to get network activity lights in the system tray using a 3rd party application.
Does anyone know of one that works in Windows 7 and doesn't have much of an overhead? I have found some that add a new icon to the system tray, but it would be better if it could replace the existing network connection icon if possible.
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Win 7. When I power on, the lights to show ac power light up. The back light on screen is visible but No boot. Laptop does nothing. Fan works. Battery works, ac cord works. Where do I begin to troubleshoot?
I have a HP laptop with intel pentium dual-core and windows vista. The problem is, when I started to turn it on just now, the screen went blank and the lights beside the caps lock key and scroll key kept blinking. I tried again and again for three times.
Starting about a week ago, my lenova v570 laptop started acting weird. When i shut down the computer the screen turns off, but the lights and fans are still running, i have left it for several minutes and nothing happens. i end up holding the power button for about 10 seconds to turn it off. And when i do turn the computer back on a notepad opens up named "debug" containing a very long message starting with "[1204/172346:ERROR:backend_impl.cc(2086)] Corrupt Index file[1204/172346:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc(43)]"
This has been happening for the past several days now and i have come to worry a lot about the situation. I am not much of a computer..
All three lights turned ON as soon as i connect my HP Laser jet 1300 printer to my Laptop with OS Windows 7 and does not print anything. It is working well with Windows XP.
I've got a problem with my laptop - it won't sleep. Specifically, when I try and make it sleep, the screen turns off and I cannot interact with it at all - but the computer just keeps going. All the activity lights stay on, and while I can't see or do anything, the computer stays on and will not sleep, leaving me with no choice but to manually force shutdown. Sometimes if I leave it like this for a while, it will simply crash and shut down incorrectly. I have gone into the power-plan settings and checked my advanced settings, but that hasn't worked. It's just come on in the last few days, but I haven't installed anything new in that time. I'm going to try a system restore now, but I don't hold much hope for it.
(I'm using a Samsung R530, 32-bit Windows 7, Intel Pentium.)
When ever I try to restart my computer it shuts off and then the power lights turn to orange and then the computer beeps twice and then waits for a few seconds and then beeps again. I have to hit the power button and then hit it again to get it to turn on and it works fine
I have a computer which is pretty old except for the video card which is 2 years old and the psu which is literally 1 month old.Today morning my girlfriend turned the computer on and it started displaying striped flashing multi-colored lights. I turned it off immediately. When I turned it on after 3 hours, It went to start up repair then it displayed a Fatal Error BSOD. Then it proceeded to switch to flashing multi-colored lights which resulted in burning smell from the computer.
I have an advent laptop with windows 7. When I turn it on, it starts up as usual and then goes to the advent screen and then another screen which gives me the option to either "Launch startup repair (recommended)" or "Start windows normally". Whichever one I select, the same thing happens. It comes up with the normal login screen but not with the user picture or name, just the blue background. I have tried rebooting and waiting for over 15 minutes but it won't change from that blue screen. The mouse still works but there is nothing to click on. I have also tried pressing F8 at the advent screen but none of the safe mode options etc. work.
I just got a new desktop computer, and I downloaded windows 7 64 bit home premium. when the download completed and it restarted a screen popped up asking for country/date/time, and now the computer is frozen. Is it okay to restart right now? They said not to restart during the setup process at the very beginning, but i don't know what to do, it's been like this for 15minutes. And i believe all the setup is done, once it restarted it just went straight to asking me about the time.
oh, and also i used custom installation becauuse the express one wouldn't work, saying i couldn't switch from 32 bit to 64 bit. dunno if this is relevant, but just thought i'd say.
My HP laptop decided whilst on amazon to just freeze. I closed it down and restarted it and the laptop will let me move the cursor to type in my password but once its on the desktop that is where it stays. I have tried moving the battery and starting it up, also tried the fn button but nothing. I operate on windows 7.
ust upgraded from windows vista.my problem started yesterday, when windows at startup it just goes black but i can see the cursor. it freeze there for so long that i have to restart again, even in safe mode is all black with the cursor. this what i have done before that, updated some windows updates. then it begun doing the black screen
My wife is running a Toshiba T110-11U and this is now frozen at update 10 of 15 from the latest batch of patch Tuesday updates. OS is w7 64 bit home premium. Has been trying to install this update for more than 8 hours!
First off: I'm running Windows 7 on a BRAND NEW Lenovo W530
The taskbar appears to be permanently frozen. (When I place the cursor over it, I get the blue circle). I cannot open anything through the taskbar. Nothing happens when I click. In addition there are two batteries displayed on the right hand side. One is blinking, and the other is blank. (I would show a screen capture but I don't know how without accessing the start menu).
I've tried restarting (several times) I've tried updating and running my norton. This doesn't work, and it shows that my computer is healthy.
I've tried running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware I've run the hardware diagnostic tests, and nothing is wrong.
Also it seems that too many processes are running for a brand new computer with very little additional software installed.
I play DOTA and everything was good 2 days that is when i played it last time.So now i have this problem with the gamma setings with this game.I cant make it to be brighter.I try to change the video settings in the game but wheter i put to the brightest point or the darkest it is always returning and t is dark.If i start the game afetr 2 sec,after startting the screen blinks and it is darker,and i cant change that.Or if the game is running and i press alt+taband then return to the game 2 sec it is good and after the game is darker.I cant understand two days ago everything was fine and smooth.
I have recently decided to try Windows 7 and made the necessary preparations. I am trying to build a dual boot system with the OEM 32bit Vista Home Premium and 64bit Windows 7. My machine is far above the specs and I have 3gb ram. I burned the image twice after reviewing the other posts in the forum. I burned the first on at 8x and after reviewing prev posts I burned again at 4x. Both freeze at the expanding files 0%. The first one would hang for hours until I told it to cancel. The new one hangs for a few minutes and then gives an error that there is a corrupt or missing file.I also read that this may be a result of ACHI but my bios does not allow me to disable.
My friend has windows7 and an Acer Aspire 5742Z. The cursor has frozen, and after starting it in safe mode to system restore the cursor is still frozen so I can't system restore aaaagh!
