PC Hangs When Playing Music, Watching Video, Gaming Before And After Clean Install?
Dec 16, 2012
my PC randomly hangs and makes a lovely noise (through the speakers rather than the computer itself) when listening to music, watching vids online/offline, gaming, basically at any time, when there is no sound it still hangs for a second when moving the mouse but makes no noise through the speakers. I've just done a clean install and have removed all OC to see if it makes any difference, all drivers are up to date with latest versions from manufacturers, i'm about to pull out my sound card and use onboard sound to see if that's the issue, but i believe i've tried that once before. Have experienced BSOD on this rig, but haven't had it for a while.
Here's my rig:
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i5 3750K, stock speed
8Gb Crucial PC3-10700H RAM
Gigabyte Z77-DS3H mobo (F9 BIOS - not F10 beta)
Saffire HD7770, stock speed
M-Audio Audiophile 2496
OCZ Agility 3 120Gb SSD (Firmware 2.25 I believe)
Seagate Barracuda 500Gb HDD

My desktop keeps stuttering every few minutes or so. I have all of the drivers up to date and I cannot figure out what is wrong. The problem occurs the most while watching Netflix and playing games, but happens pretty regularly in general.
Specs:
Core i7 2600k
Asus p8p67 deluxe
Asus Engtx 570
Corsair 8 gb 1600 mhz ram

I imagine I don't need to include much information as your nice new tool has everything you need.

A friends PC keeps crashing after a few hours of usage (watching movies, listening to music). I've been attempting to troubleshoot it but I'm not to sure about how to find the cause of the problem. Based on my google search, which led me here, it's caused by either RAM, HDD, Drivers or overheating. I unfortunately can't get the dump right now, but I did get the info from the event log.The computer has rebooted from bugcheck. The bugcheck was 0x00000124 (0x000000..., 0xfffffa8003560038, 0x00000000b2000000, 0x000000001040080f). Problem Event Name: BluescreenOS Version 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1Locale ID: 1033Service Pack: 1_0Product: 256_1Does this info narrow down the issue, or is it just generalizing the problem down to what's been stated before?

I've been trying to perform a clean install the latest 32-bit Windows 7 RC and keep encountering indeterminate problems.
After updating to the latest BIOS, resetting all BIOS settings, and removing all of my peripherals, sound card, and video card (I used built-in video for the most recent install attempt), I still get either a BSOD (Stop 0x0000001a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT) or a hang (with misc. video distortion) at some point during the install, usually after 'expanding files' during the windows install. A few times the screen has just gone blank.
(Before doing all this, I was getting IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL BSODs, but those seem to have gone away after I removed everything).
As background, the system successfully passed the upgrade advisor and completes the memory test available from the boot loader and has been a rock-solid XP machine for 2 years (although I'm not doing an upgrade install)
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. I could sit around and twiddle BIOS memory settings, I suppose, but I'm hoping someone can suggest a more principled approach.

I've had my asus eeepc 1001pxd running at 16 bit ( just changed it)and my internet keeps freezing up especially when I im watching video. When i check the task manager it shows that I'm using a load of cpu when I open new page I've changed my browser from chrome to mozilla and finally now to Opera which seems to work better but whenever I'm online it seems to freeze up. I've had some other little glitches too. Once in a while the keyboard just stops working and also once in a while arrow keys just start turning the screen upside down out of the blue. I've tried to figure everything out. but to no avail. It even froze up (not responding) when i started the event viewer.
Here are the details from my eventvwr from the last week. Code:

I am trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit. It hangs at the starting windows screen and does nothing more. No HDD activity or anything. Let it sit all night like that to see if it would go any further, but it didn't. Anyone else have this experience, and if so, what did you do to make it work?

My daughters CQ61 required a clean install after repair. Windows 7 jus goes through the normal install process and hangs at completeing installation. I'm not a Noob but not a Geek either. I can only assume the drive is fine as it is running fine in the T400 IMB i am using now. Now here is the strange bit..... When i was just starting out i to had a CQ61 and it too needed a clean install and it did the same for months with friends in th know looking and trying to. In the end i send off for the factory software discs and tey went on straight away with win7 working fine. It was literally restored to new. I passed on said disks when i sold said CQ61 adising the guy never to go down the road i had. Now the software discs are no longer available from HP and There is none on torrents anywhere. I cannot accept that this is the only way to install clean install. If it was that critical to have the discs they would send them out with the new machine. So thats muti attempts by multiple people on 2 identical machines presenting the same hang. One was solved with the Sowfwaredisks provided by HP and are no longer available. Should have copied them i know but never thought i would be looking down the same barrel of the same gun.

When listening to music on my PC, it does not matter if I use Winamp, Songbird, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, or any other software. Every so often, there appears some sort of distortion, like the drive that the music is on slows down. I dont know if it is the driver or what. Its hard to explain. You have to hear it. I dont think its the mp3 file itself, cause I could play a song and it will be perfect, but then the next time I play it, it will distort. It is really driving my nuts cause I can't find the reason for it.

On my laptop I can run a game and log into my account and pick a character but as soon as it loads the character i get blue screened, it sometimes happens when I am watching a movie or something but only on the rare occasion but it happens every time i try to play a game. Earlier tonight I restored to factory settings and all was going well and I was installing a game until at about 54% I got a blue screen. My laptop is 64-bit and has the original operating system on it which is the pre-installed version that came on it.

Ran the W7F diagnostic tool as admin and it wouldn't create anything on my desktop so have attached dump files/cpu-z/RAMMON
Has always BSOD occasionally but has become much more frequent, every 15mins when playing X-COM. Appears to be mostly 101 clock error. The processor was pre-overclocked by the supplier, the overclocking profile only kicks in when cpu is under load. I never changed voltages or anything else in bios.
Ran prime 95 for 3 hrs last night before it crashed but the error was different to what it normally is - that's the oldest dump file in attached.

Around a week or two ago my computer started getting blue screens and restarting at random times. I tried system restoring before that time and it didn't work, so I just decided to deal with it because I didn't know of a site that dealt with blue screens.

I have just upgraded my pc from an E8400 cpu with 8gb ram to an i5 3570k with 16gb ram.I have a MSI Z77A GD65 motherboard and using that I ebayed myself another Gigabyte GTX470 SOC to run a SLI setup.Nothing is overclocked yet, having heat issues in my new corsair 550D case which I will solve when the wife lets me spend again.Now, my old dual core with a single graphics card was awesome, overclocked and I never really had any issues with it until the other day. I found myself playing Anno 2070 fullscreen, and had the wife watching a movie via windows media player on my big tv.Windows media player lets you choose a sound output device, so my home cinema got an output from my old motherboard's spdif socket. My game's sound output was via the speakers on my desk, set to low else I get shouted at!Both screens are 1080p, and one had Anno 2070 set to fullscreen and the other playing movies in fullscreen. My dual core would play the game fine, but the movie got really jerky to the point you couldn't pay it close attention.I upgraded my pc to a quad core, with another 8gb of ram and tried to play Anno 2070 and watch a movie at the same time to see how awesome my new setup would be. That was the plan, Anno 2070 was smoother but I had a black screen instead of a movie. I could hear the film, and if I alt tabbed out of the game the movie would appear again and disappear when I went back into the game.All my drivers are up to date, I just got my first SSD (LOVE IT!!) and have a shiny new copy of windows 7 professional installed on it.I have not had much luck with that lucid mvp rubbish, and have installed and reinstalled the drivers for that. Due to tearing in Skyrim and Deus Ex not as good as the first one Human Revolution, I swapped the SLI bridge over from one set of sockets to another.Now, that is the back ground covered, my set up, new copy of Windows, latest drivers and a bit of messing around trying to get rid of tearing in games resulting in Lucid MVP hatred (another long term plan, but I think this is like my old power vr card, good in plan but rubbish so I think Lucid will fade away.Now my Question! Phew! What causes windows media player to go black whilst gaming full screen? I get a little bit of movie time, then it corupts and goes black.I have tried a few things, but google power is failing me and I am scratching my head. I get a feeling that there is a conflict somewhere and before I just wipe my SSD to reinstall, I thought I would see if anyone else has dealt with this before.

I recently got a new asus laptop and some of my programs aren't compatible with windows 8. So i'm trying to downgrade to windows 7 because i never liked w8 in the first place. So when i boot from CD (64-bit windows 7 ultimate) it will install without any problems, but when it gets to the 'starting windows' screen the animation freezes and it just stays there.

So I just did a new custom built comp and got Windows 7 Professional for it. I burnt it to a DVD from the ISO I got from the Microsoft Store. It would freeze at the Starting Windows screen just after the 4 dots converged into the logo.
Things I've tried:
-One stick of RAM
-Installed on same HDD on another computer rig (Booted fine until I brought it back to my new rig. Then it wouldn't boot on neither)
-Memtest
-USB Boot installer
I also have all the unneeded peripherals out.
Rig:
Z68XP-UD3 (Using onboard VGA until 7 is working then its a Asus GTX 560 Ti)
1 4 GB Corsair Vengence 1600 MHZ. (Took the second out)
I5 2500K 3.3 GHz(Stock)
600W OCZ MODX Stream Pro
1 TB Western Digital Black HDD

I'm looking for at least an i5 processor or something similar, 300gb or more HDD, 6gb or more RAM, and a gfx card that can play World of Warcraft on high settings (not bothered about ultra). It also has to be good for DAW use and audio recording. I use and audio interface for this so I won't worry about the laptops soundcard. Decent cooling would be nice too.

Having an issue with my laptop and gaming, the games should by no means cause it to hang like this. Even older games like Half life will hang, I will be playing along and the game will hang, or freeze for a few seconds then go back to normal. This is kinda frustrating especially while playing online.

i am having the famous bsod when watching video, using mpc for local and flash (Internet) for online after an hour or so from when i start watching. i noticed that the crash happens more often when i use often the seek-bar and jump to various points of the movie. codecs dont think are the problem for they are regularly updated. this crash sometimes happen when i am playing games an hour or so after the start.

Just installed Windows 7. and everytime i start up a game (like left 4 dead)
all screens go black(like when they do when you set a other resolution) and back to normal resolution. when game resolution isn't different from the desktop resolution. and cause i ussually have a series running on one of my other monitors i can't see them cause well desktop thinks it not on its desktop resolution(or for what ever other reason it is that video won't show on second monitor if there is a game up on your main monitor that is not on ur normal desktop resolution).
this doesn't happen with every game though and can't really figure it out. if u need any info, or have no idea what i'm talking about(don't really know how to explain this very wel) post for more details.

I have been having random reboots and sometimes hard-hangs whenever I am starting to play any PC games after start-up. I have to keep resetting and run through any checks I could think of but the checks always find everything to be okay. Sometimes I do get BSOD and I remember vaguely something about SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION and also the DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL phrases.[CODE]
