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'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.)

View 7 Replies View RelatedCame at work, the computer was working (it has been working 24/24 second week already) everything was fine, the internet was working no issues, but decided to restart because my Antivirus (NIS 2011) crashed and there was no icon on taskbar, after restart my network was dead, but there was network port activity (as you can see in the screen), what I tried:1. Disabled/Enabled the network2. Restarted in safe mode with networking3. Removed for about 20 seconds the power cable4. Removed/Added the Network from Device manager (with "remove driver" option)5. Downgraded to another driver from May 20116. Tried another cable7. Tried another port in the switch8. Changed from Automatic to Manual in Network Settings (added IP)9. Used the Diagnose utility (it said something wrong with the Driver) after this I downgraded to another driver and nothing changed10. Logged with another username11. All services related to network are started.All the above didn't solved my problem, what's wrong ? I really can't understand - I'm a SysAdmin myself but I never had a issue like this that I couldn't solve!
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo, 7 is reporting 4.5tb of network activity in 11 hours, with 600 gigs sent. I'm connected to my mac file server with roughly 1.8 TB of external hard drives (not NTFS either. mac formatted). It just keeps pumping out 5 megabytes a second and i have no idea where it's going. It doesn't show up in my resource manager, either, Any ideas?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been bothered by the lack of a visual indication of network activity on Windows 7, so I found and installed this:
Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7 - IT Samples
It is just the twin monitors like in XP, but even when I'm not doing anything on the internet, both monitors keep a steady beat in harmony of ~2 beats/s. Is this normal for a cable connection?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedStarting 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..

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.

[code]...
Second behavior, I think since last week, my activity led is pulsing every second and my main drive never seems to go to sleep while my three others do. This is bugging me deeply as I have no idea what exactly is goign on the system.There is NO viruses, NO malware. Windows has been reinstalled from scrath on fresh formatted partion. I've tried to boot the system in diagnotstic mode with the same issue. I do not know what is the problem but I find it very unpleasant.An other test I did, disconnect the RAID entirely and the pulsing continue.Do anyone of you have any idea of what's going on? Are both problem related somehow? Could it be a windows patch causing all of this as it started not so long ago while is was running perfectly before?
i performed a clean install of windows 7 rc but
my hard drive is busy when i don't use my computer and I
see that the light indicating that the hd is busy is blinking for couple of hours.
also my cpu usage is higher than xp and it makes my laptop's cpu very hot.
windows 7 makes my laptop very noisy.
I recently have a problem with my system. when I try to write a dvd it randomly freezes. sometimes it writes completely without error, and then the next time at the start of the sequence it locks up. the hdd activity led lihgts up, and the mouse is still responsive, but nothing seems to react anything. after some minutes the BSOD appears stating that a system crucial process had been unexpectedly quit or has been closed, and so on.. the same happens now if I try to update the dvd's firmware. it's an LG GH22NS40 writer with a grren power 550w psu and windows 7. previously i have nero 10 installed, but it's been deleted for now.

View 11 Replies View Relatedbeen watching that when the system wake up form hibernation, the LED that shows me the activity (I guess read/write..) of the hard disk is blinking, and keep doing that for several minutes (2- 6 minutes).The weird part is that the system is not going slow, when i open the task manager to see what is running, in processor usage the value is minimal, between 0 and 5%.In the process tab, the only thing using some CPU is one of the svchost.exe, it had an intermittent CPU usage of 0-3%, when i finished it, the LED stop blinking.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having this weird problem with a PC trashing disk to the point where the PC becomes completely unresponsive, yet, perfmon does not seem to indicate any load. CPU is 1-3%, memory used <1.5GB. Disk-IO is indicated to <100 KB/sec, yet, and this is the weird bit, the blue line "highest active time" hammers on at 100% non-stop, and the HD activity light is on constant.
This is the hardware:
GIGABYTE Z68MA-D2H-B3 MB
i5-2400 CPU
2 x 4GB 1333MHz RAM
2 x 320GB WD SATA3 (3GB) disks connected to the MB 3GB SATA connectors.
It started with an upgrade from an AMD64 with an Asrock MB which had worked fine for years. First I just replaced the MB, CPU and RAM and after the usual complaints by MS, Windows 7 eventually settled and everything worked fine for a couple of days until suddenly the trashing that I described above started. I thought this was perhaps due to some leftover drivers from the AMD time, so I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7. The trashing eventually goes away, for example if I leave it alone overnight, it might have calmed down in the morning, or if I turn off the PC and turn it on again, it may take anything from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours, but eventually it starts again.I already checked for malware. I've used Avast for years, but decided to switch to MSE to see if it made any difference (it didn't). I also ran Malwarebytes, also didn't find any problems. Windows 7 has been updated with all the latest updates and patches and SP1 as well as with the supplied Gigabyte Drivers.
My Windows is doing something when I do not use it. The disk makes a lot of noise (r/w) but as soon as I touch the mouse or keyboard it stops.What can be the reason ?
