whenever I game, eventually and randomly, my game will freeze and loop the last sound. I'm not even kidding, it loops the last like half second of a sound which is extremely annoying no matter what it is because it just sounds like a loud thud going on forever. I have to reboot every single time this happens and I think it's hurting my laptop.So many said my laptop may be overheating, so I got a program called SpeedFan, and tweaked it so the temperature offset would be negative which would make my laptop cooler. According to it, it did go cooler with the setttings before/after using the program.The left side still emits heat, but not that hot with the program?
So I was watching the temperatures, before using the program, the temperature was always around 150-170 degrees farenheit, afterwards, it said it was at like -something which the air seemed be cooler or at least the offset measure.I'm not sure if my laptop is overheating, but when I took out the piece on the bottom pinned by 3 screws, there wasn't much dust inside.This all started when I had updated my Nvidia Drivers, I really regret doing this. So stupid game GTA IV can't detect system specs, so you had to use special commands for it to realize what specs you have. If I could, I'd sue them for screwing up my laptop. Everyone told me to update my drivers.Previously, I could play games like Deus Ex Human Revolution fine,I played the entire game twice with not a single freeze and looping sound/crash. Fine.after I installed any of the new nvidia drivers from their website?Occasional freezes and looping the last sound played.It seems that when I had bought this prebuilt Dell Laptop, it had epic drivers for itself and I was never suppose to update the perfect drivers.Then, everything was messed up once I updated my nvidia driver....Maybe, incompatible with the version of my realtek hd audio, that's why i installed all the old drivers from the driver disk the laptop came with. still didn't work, they had corrupted drivers too, or something.So I honestly don't know what to do. I remember a few months ago, I tried downloading a realtek hd audio driver, wow i lost sound for 3 days straight, no one on the internet knew and kept on insisting to install other drivers when I had to type 2 lines in the command prompt.
I've built my new computer a week ago and I'm having a problem and I need to know ASAP if any part is defective to do a RMA. When I play games, (League of Legends, Cod4,..), my computer randomly crashes on a black screen and a looping bug sound. The monitor says ''Monitor going to sleep''. I've tried to run OCCT on my GPU for about 30 minutes @ 90 degrees C withouth problem. I've done one or two pass in Memtest+ to check my RAM too. Any thoughts on this? Maybe it is my PSU? I've heard about the NVidia HD audio too. Here is my rig:Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K PSU: COOLER MASTER GX Series 750W CASE: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 GPU: EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1573-AR GeForce GTX 570 RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 1600 HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
today a little problem cropped up as i tried to watch a Internet video. as soon as i go to open it i got a sound loop crash (sounded like buzzing) and when i went to login it would crash on the windows 7 'jingle' at the login screen. this started happening the restart after i did a windows update, specifically kb982018, kb2532531, kb2529073, kb2675157 and kb2505438. i also used a tcp optimizer and ran this batch file to further optimize my internet connection beforehand:

I am looking for a good gaming sound card to replace XtremeGamer by Creative Labs. Since upgrading to this newer build of Windows 7 I can't get the driver to work and it never really worked right anyway. The beta driver or the Vista ones in compatibility mode. Daniel K people also said to try, they didn't work either. Always will freeze the computer and then I will have to go into Safe Mode and remove the driver to be able to boot again. So any ideas for a good card? What about the Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card? Will it work with Windows 7?
I have a PC with Windows 7 64 bit as the primary and only OS. Lately a strange audio problem has come up. The sound goes off suddenly while gaming. The only solution then is to restart the PC for the audio to return. Am having a discrete audio card (Asus Xonar Essence STX). I have tried all the driver tricks (updating, uninstall-ing & reinstall-ing) to no avail.
I think that Windows might be disabling my sound device during gaming because it thinks it is idle. I don't know if this is the exact reason but after much testing have come to this conclusion.
Anyway, the problem is that while playing some games (for example Borderlands, Civ 5) the sound will be fine but after a while playing the sound will cut off completely. It seems to occur when I am playing a game for more than an hour although I can't be very specific. If I exit the game and try to play an MP3 etc in WMP then the program just behaves like it's trying to do something in the background and won't actually play the file. There are no system sounds or any other sound at all.
This doesn't happen in all games, for example, when I play Audiosurf then the sound plays as normal no matter how long I play. This is why I think it may be a Windows issue thinking my sound card is idle and then turning it off because when I play Audiosurf, the game plays my MP3 files and so presumably Windows knows my sound card is in use but when I play any other game that just uses the game's own sound files/effects, then Windows isn't recognising this and after a certain period of time is then disabling my sound card.
Does anyone know of a solution for this or has come across something similar? I have an external sound card that is connected via USB (Line 6 Toneport UX2). Let me know if you require any more system specs, oh I'm using Win 7 HP 64bit btw.
i have been having a problem since i have upgraded to windows 7. the problem only happens during gameplay also it doesn't happen when your in the lobby or something like that either. during gameplay the screen with freeze and a buzzing noise will occur. it happens for 1-5 seconds. it seems like its someone running on a bad Internet connection and they disconnect every couple minutes. it happens on every video game not just one. ive tested this on left 4 dead 2 and alliance of valiant arms.
note- started after upgrade not on vista i have made tweaks to the system after it started happening to try to fix it such as turning off the 200 useless processes and some registry tweaks to make the system run faster..

Please can someone help me with this as it's driving me mad and when gaming online and chatting to my friend through Skype, the sound will suddenly just go off. While he can still hear me talking into the mic, I can't hear him or the game's sounds/music and he has to resort to typing me messages in-game.
my laptop doesn't have the sound card to provide 7.1 surround sound, it does however have Dolby Surround Sound, so I was thinking if I purchased a 7.1 surround sound headset, how can I configure each speakers on it? Since currently the only audio channel I have is Stereo.The headset is plugged in by USB, so it must act like a sound card on its own, if I plug in the USB headset, will it provide me another audio channel for 7.1?
I started to install windows and someone messed with it half way. So I started again. Now when I install it it does the set up, get to 100% restarts and then takes me back to the beginning where I have to choose my country and choose install etc.
There is nothing wrong with the USB I'm using because I've installed several other computers with it (I work at a school).
This computer was sent away to be fixed (new hard drive). Or should I install a different OS and clear the hard drive then install Windows again? this hasn't happened before and I've installed Windows 7 successfully hundreds of times.
Windows 7 (32 bit) will not start.All I see is the 0X0000007b message."Starup repair" is no good either. When you run startup repair it goes in cirkles: It begins the start up, but you get 0x000007b. Computer rebootes. You can choose "startup Repair" og "start windows normally".You then choose "startup repair". It begins the start up, but you get 0x000007b. Computer rebootes. Etc., etc.. And you can not start windows normally either. It all began when Norton found something that needed to be taken care off. What can be done to fix the boot?Shal I use the "Farbar recovery Scan tool"?I'm not quite sure how it works... Are there other things that can be done?Anything that demands you to use windows one way or another is not possible for the time being as you see.
My computer is less then 2 months old. I had an error to reinstall Windows 7, put in the disc, followed the directions, and when it was almost done, I got the blue screen of death......it then shut down, and tried to reboot. Now it does nothing but reboot, give me the Windows loading screen and then an error saying that Windows encountered an error during installation and would finish after reboot, hit ok. That loops over and over.
I attempted to change the boot sequence to pull from my CD Drive, instead of Hard drive first, however, im sorta computer illiterate, and when I get to the screen to change the order of boot, i do notice the Hard drive has a + next to it, which i take means its selected, and i move the highlighted bar down to the CD Drive and ive tried every key on my keyboard to make it select that and then enter but i just get the looping again, any suggestions?
How do i delete a looping folder, i can't delete it normally because explorer crashes, and i can't do it in safe mode either. System Restore created a looping folder, and i want to get rid of it but i can't this is sort of a simple problem, yet complicated, i need expert help please. You click on the folder and it opens, and opens and opens infinitely, like it is rewinding back to itself.
I have just bought a new ASUS K93SV. As I allways do with new pc's i start by re-installing windows using the recovery function. But this time i have got a very big problem.The system is looping. I do the following, when i try to "recover"
- During startup i press F9. This gets me into a "asus preload wizard.
- It asks me which language and i choose english and press next.
- A info-box appears saying that all files on my HD will be deleted and asus are not responsible. I press next.
- 3 options a know possible. Recover windows to first partition only, recover windows to entire HD and recover windows to entire HD with two partitions. I choose number 3 and press next.
- A box then says that this will help me restore all to factory state. i press next.
- A box then asks if im sure, press finish to run the recovery - i press finish.
- The recovery then starts and run smoothly.
- But when its finished it just prompts me again as if i had pressed F9 again...Furthermore: The pc has a lot of vibrations, so much than after i have used it my fingers "humms"...
I keep getting random freezes during gameplay (TF2, Portal 2, Total War: Shogun 2 [does not seem to be any specific game, just games in general]), and when the screen goes black the audio starts looping.
-I have performed a clean boot of Windows 7 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135) -I have checked the minimum specs for each game and I have confirmed that they are able to run on my computer. -I have run a Preboot System Assessment without any errors. -I have tried uninstalling my graphics driver in safe mode and reinstalling it normally through Windows. -I have checked the temperatures and power supply of both my motherboard and video card. -I have monitored my CPU usage during gameplay. -I have run Memtest86 and have not found any errors. -I've disconnected all devices except for my monitor, keyboard and mouse. -I have tried disabling Aero effects. -I have checked with my computer manufacturer and have validated that I am running the newest driver for my audio card, video card, BIOS etc. -I have tried lowering all game settings to the minimum setting
I am recently noticed that when I try to make a animated .gif image my background the image freezes in the first frame. I know this is cause windows 7 doesn't support it so lets just skip the useless take me no closer to solving my problem replys of that. I've been searching around and get we can make them work by downloading a "program" to create or convert them but I really dont feel like downloading another file I'll only ever use once just so it can clutter my computer. How to enable it via registry's.
My granddaughter has a laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed. I went to turn it on after charging it and the Startup Repair window comes up. I can't get any System Repair options except for Startup Repair which can not repair the computer automatically. This is the problem details listed:
I don't have much information on this laptop since we are on vacation. The only thing my daughter told me was that Windows was preinstalled. The laptop is ASUS.
I have been recently experiencing a strange crash that happens on my computer frequently. So far, in the ~10 times it has occured over the last 3 days, it has crashed mostly during my gaming time - until now. I was writing this when it happened again. Basically, all sound starts a loop and nothing works at all. I initially thought it was overheating in my computer so I ran some temp. checks while playing games and nothing in my computer was breaking 75 deg. C, so I ruled that out. I ran anti-spyware and anti-virus - nothing.
The only changes my computer has made since I noticed the crashes are the following: installed a few programs, added 3 400gb hard drives to my computer, and swapped out my PSU from a Kingwin 730w (cheapo) to an Antec HCG-750w, a much nicer version. I doubt it's any of the programs, most are games, and I'm not leaning towards the HDDs since there is no information on them at the moment. Could it have to deal with my power supply? Nothing is overheating, as I stated before, but maybe something isn't fully plugged in? I have no idea.
On a side note - when I added those hard drives, I remember booting up and not getting any boot. I opened my computer back up and I noticed I had bumped the power cord on the boot drive, plugged it back in, and rebooted. Everything went fine from there..
My dad's Opltiplex 760 Core 2 Duo Desktop with 8GB of Memory keeps looping on the Starting Windows screen. I have tried repair but it didn't work. When disabling restart on system failure, I get this:Stop 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000,0x000000000000 0000)"
Im running Teamspeak 3 and I use stereo mix to stream sound to my friends, the only problem is that whenever they talk Stereo mix plays their voice back and causes insane feedback. I would just mute everyone but that would mean I cant hear them myself.Is there any way to change it so that stereo mix wont pick up their voices let me still hear them?(I have 2 recording devices, Microphone and StereoMix. I have 2 playback devices, my HDMI to the TV and a Speaker output.) I use VIA High Definition Audio as my drivers.
I have a Dell inspiron 4010 laptop with Windows 7. I am unable to log on. The safe mode options screen keeps looping, and i am unable to boot. none of the safe mode options work, though the screen shows the loading windows files before restarting the safe mode options screen again. when i press f8 to get the advanced boot options, the system repair option is no longer there (it was there yesterday, but the system restore or system repairs didn't work), nor do any of the advanced boot options work.when i choose to disable automatic restart on system failure it appears that windows is startingbut then goes to a blue screen that says STOP: C0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing.I believe this is happening as a result of an automatic Windows update.
I watch videos from this site Poker Netcast | Live At The Bike | LABTTheir login is https.Ive been in IT for 15 years and even this has stumped me.When I go to login in IE9 starts looping from the login page to the https page and back to the original page and never ends. I load firefox, same issue. I load Crome, it worked for 1 day then same issue. It used to login in fine last week. It logs in fine on my 2 other PCs and my Kindlefire.I have checked for viruses with Avast and A-Malware Bytes in safe mode - nothing. These 2 pick up 98% of stuff. Personally I dont think its a virusn IE9 - Deleted browsing history, cookies, temp internet files, everything under the Geneeral/Browsing History section. Did a disk cleanup, put the site inthe trusted zone, turned off popup blocker just in case, Cleared SSL state, Reset IE9. Zippo
have done everything in the world to stop my BSOD and i can't figure out how to fix it !!! I'm about to blow up my machine !i am a complete noob when it comes to all of this stuff sSeptember crash is rather old, i have since fixed that issue the October one is the newest My system specs are: Asus Saber-tooth x58 LGA 1366 quad core MB Windows 7 64-bit ultimate 12 gigs of ram Intel quad core i7 960 LGA 1366 CPU Nvidia Ge-force GTX 590 - Classified Edition 850w Corsair Power-supply Khuler 920 CPU water cooler
I am the guy you all know who is basically a computer retard. I know where the power button is and how to surf the web but most of my computer experience comes from gaming consoles. Recently I bought a pc with the intention of getting into pc gaming as I was informed that it was a better all round experience.In our office there are 2 people with macs and 2 people with windows. We would like to start gaming against each other over a lan router as we are stationed in china and finding games can often be a nightmare. I would like to know if it is possible to do this and how we would go about it
When i game the game will freeze sound still plays but mouse everything locks up. Have to warm reboot. Other times it goes to black screen, and still have to warm reboot. I had this problem starting a year ago. At that time i did mem test, cpu stress test, gpu stress test, all came back fine. Back then it use to reboot itself. So, i figured maybe a psu issue, it was still under warranty so i sent it off, they did find a bad capacitor and replaced! Cool no a month after getting it back started doing as mentioned above. So, at that time i had a 8800GTX 1.5 gig video card in it. So, i spent the money and went to a Geforce 560 GTX 2 gig, eventhough i had stressed tested the 8800. Ok so a week or so went by all good then it started up again. Only has it locked up once while not gaming. Always locks on WOT(world of tanks unless i use the older 275 nvidia driver) DIdnt use to lock up with Diablo III, TSW, SWTOR, SCII. Untill recently sometimes its once or twice a night others its 3 or 6 times. I ran a Mem test a week ago ran for 9 plus hours no errors.
Had this issue a few weeks ago, couldn't fix it. I got fed up and reformatted thinking that would solve a driver issue...but the problem persisted. I finally resorted to swapping out my ATI 6870 to an NVidia 8800 and the problem ceased...for awhile. Now it happens once or twice a day, only while gaming or some other intensive process. I do not know what to do.
