i have a laptop 3 years now, a Sony VGN-NW21SF. My laptop gives me random BSOD's and often freezes. I dont perform any special operation when these incidents occur. The Laptop may be idle when this happens. Sometimes, i leave the computer turned on, and when i come back either the system has frozen requiring a pwr_btn shutdown, or has restarted with BSOD's. I have no indication on what is causing this, only one suspicion. That my Laptop is not compatible with SSD's. I suspect this because if i remeber correct, these BSOD's and Freezes, started when i first installed an SSD. Then i changed this SSD with another one, but still the problem remained.I have thrown away two ssd's and after i purchased a third one, different brand, different capacity the problems persist... Needless two say that now i feel like an idiot blaming and throwing away two ssd's... Because it can't be 3 ssd's with the same problem..... The other obeservation is that the BSOd may not happen for more than a month, and suddenly it may happen 4 times per day...
i have random freezes sometimes they are glitchy and rarely bsod all on bootup or up to about half hour in (which also turns of the mouse). also Internet doesn't autoplay playlists and all sugestions next to the video are black. this started a few weeks to a month ago, first it seemed just a minor annoyance but it started to become more often the last few days. i've tried some checks but without success. also i remember the week before those crashes that twice the screen driver crashed for a second or 2 and then a message popped up about how a monitor driver crash was adjusted, always when i played a certain game that is still in beta so i taught it was the game.
I'm getting this random BSOD since 2 or 3 weeks ago. Sometimes when idle, browsing, and gaming. But sometimes I'm not getting any at all for a whole day. And I also getting this random hangs, freezes, and restarts. Can this be caused by bad hardware?
So I just got this new Asus n53sn-xr2 laptop using windows 7, and already I'm having some problems with it. Basically what happens is it will freeze seemingly at random times (at first I thought it was firefox, but I just got it again using google chrome... I'm not sure if its related to browsing the internet or not) and the computer will, after a short period of time, become completely unresponsive. I can't even load task manager so the only way to turn of the computer is with the power button. One of the times my computer freezed I got a BSOD and it said "driver power state failure". I took a picture of it and I can provide the other information too if you need me too. I can return this computer by monday if it sounds like a hardware issue but if its not then I would much rather fix it because I've already put so much time into transferring all my files
I was playing Civ 5 when I got a BSOD for the first time. I've been playing Civ for a few months with no problems until now. After the BSOD I've been getting random freezes. It happens when web browsing, listening to itunes, playing civ etc.. I am using a few month old lenovo with Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)
I have an ASUS n80vn laptop that is about 3 years old. It came with OEM Windows Vista, but I installed my own copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit more than two years ago, and there was no problem upon installation.
Lately (for about a month), I have been receiving BSOD either during boot or the log-in screen. The BSOD usually happens only once per day, and I would be forced to restart my computer. No BSOD upon restart. I suspect the problem occurs when the laptop is cold. I have attached the BSOD Dump files collected over the past month.
The only driver change I've had was nVidia graphic driver updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the two most recent drivers and the BSOD problem still occurs.
On a side note, I have been getting random freeze-ups too, and this has been happening before the BSOD problem. These freezes occur when I'm doing regular tasks such as web browsing or typing in Word/Excel etc. When my system freezes, there is no BSOD, but nothing can be moved (keyboard + mouse won't do anything). Closing lid does nothing too. Strangely, I have not been getting this kind of freezes when I play games.

I just purchased a new build, listed below, and cannot figure out why I am getting random hard freezes. There is no blue screen of death, just hard freeze required restart. I get about 3-5 a day.

I am running low on time, as my one month for newegg returns runs out soon. I lost a week having to RMA the hard disk already, as the first one that came was DOA. I have performed furmark for 20 minutes, no failure. Memtest overnight, no failure. Seagate tools, passed test (didn't do thorough long test). Prime95 CPU small FFT for 8 hours, no problem. Prime95 CPU blend for 3 hours, no problem. I have tried reinstalling windows 7, and I have updated the BIOS.
I recently changed the cabinet of my computer and since then I've been getting freezes and BSODS, when it freezes it just gets stuck at whatever I'm doing and makes a buzzing noise through the speakers. I haven't had time to read the error codes when I get the BSODS, it reboots to fast. The freezes/BSODS appear to happen more frequently when gaming, but it also occurs when I'm just browsing. have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and have tried reinstalling it but it didn't help.
I can no longer leave my pc on overnight or it freezes. If I run more than 2-3 programs it freezes. I was watching a video once with headphones on and heard a loud noise then freeze.I at first thought it was just one of my hard drives dying because I had similar symptoms before I removed it. But, the fact that the crashes are happening more frequently without accessing the questionable e: has me stumped.Then I figured maybe it was the overclock I did in my bios. But, restoring it to normal has had little effect on the performance of my machine.I have run and run on an almost daily basis the following: All updated daily or when available.

my cheap WalMart Acer laptop freezes and beeps twice at random times. It does not beep twice as it boots, but rather after using it for a while. When I look at a cpu load graph the cpu is running at 90-100%.
One of my clients is having an issue where, the 'Low Memory' message comes up, the entire laptop then freezes and you cannot get into task manager and turning off the laptop is the only way out. You then log back in and all display settings are turned down. This is completely random and nothing in particular is run at the time of the error.Looking in the event log there are numerous "Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition." errors just before the crash. Though each error sais different applications are taking up the memory.I have attached screenshots of the first error message upon restart as-well as the required files.[CODE]
i keep getting random BSOD erroes on my laptop and i dont know what the cause is. Its really random getting about one every two days. I dont know whats making it do this. My specs are:Windows 7 (64bit)

physical memory dump that my laptop tries to execute at the BSOD always fails
I bought a Toshiba Satelite laptop last month and everything was working fine up until 2 or 3 days ago. Since then I have had a few BSOD messages, all when I've been doing different things (surfing the internet, playing Football Manager etc.)I was wondering if you'd be able to help me find a solution for this, whether that be take the laptop back or a fix you guys could help me with.
The laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium, x64, OEM. The laptop was bought at the begining of January and I have not altered the OS.The files I hope you will find the answer in are included
My laptop has currently been experiencing random BSODs while using Google Chrome, Visual Studio 2010, Windows Media Player, and iTunes. Sometimes I get them like 2 times a day, sometimes none at all. Here are some additional information:
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit -it is the original installed OS on my laptop -it is an OEM -my laptop is an ACER ASPIRE 4750G. it is only 2-3 months old. -the OS was installed the same day i bought the laptop.
I have a new(ish) Dell XPS Laptop which is approx 3/4 months old so its still under warranty. I have been in touch with Dell but they keep fobbing me off without fixing the problem. For the past 3 weeks I have been getting random BSOD, sometimes I am using the machine, sometimes not. I am a developer/desiger so I have a lot of apps installed like illustrator, fireworks, visual studio but there are times when none of these are running, its crashing even when surfing the web.
I've been getting random BSODs for the last 2 weeks. I did a fresh install of windows 7 yesterday, and I seem to still be getting it. I can't really tell, but it also seems to happen sometimes when I pick up my laptop?
Been having some crashes.At first they occurred on start up. Claiming the computer wasn't properly shut down. Now today, the other crashes started, with the first happening out of nowhere, the second happening upon starting a video game. I've been without crashes for a while now, only having used my browser(Opera) and copying some files to an external hard drive. As well as the SF tool.I only have 2 dump files available. SF tool file should be in attachments, unless I made a mistake somewhere
I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

- the original installed OS on the system? this is a built computer by myself. have had 64 bit forever on here
- an OEM or full retail version? oem
- What is the age of system (hardware)? memory is about 2 years old everything else is about 5 years old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) os was installed a few months ago.attached is the info that was requested. these blue screens happen at completely random times. could be during boot up. could be just sitting in sleep and blue screen.
A couple weeks ago I started having random BSOD and restarts, I have researched several different solutions to no avail. At one point, I thought the problem was solved after restoring a restore point, however, the dreaded BSOD is back after a couple of days.
- Restored the earliest restore point - Ran chkdsk with no errors - Ran full scan AV (just in case) using MSSE. - Updated all Windows and drivers updates.
I believe this is related to a driver issue, however, I'm not sure which one.Attached is both the BSOD App and System Health data.
Basic specs:
- Windows 7 x64 - Original Install - OEM - System age: 6 months - OS install age: 6 months (not reinstalled)
This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.
I've just downloaded and installed Windows 7 7068 (32-bit) on my main PC and I've been having a pretty major issue. I start up and after a few minutes the computer will just freeze. I can leave it at the desktop for 10 minutes or play a game for 5 minutes, whatever I do, after a random period of time it'll just stop.
The download/cd is fine as I've got it on my laptop running fine...
There are no viruses as I've checked everything with different computers and scanners...
I've downloaded as many drivers as I can find that are for Windows 7, the ones that weren't I got Windows Vista drivers...
Oh, to elaborate, I've searched and nothing here helps, I can install fresh with all defaults and it'll freeze... I can install fresh with new drivers, it'll freeze... I can install fresh and load up games and applications, it'll freeze. In addition, safe mode freezes! And all other operating systems work, I haven't had any problems with previous builds of Windows 7 and Vista/XP still works fine, there's just something about 7068...
I'm searching the web, listening to music, or playing some games on my computer, at some point when I click on my desktop it will give me the waiting mouse cursor. Then I cannot click into the start button on the bottom left and the only way to restart the computer is to force shut it down.
My set up is a windows 7 64 bit computer with mbam and bitdefender protection. I have on my desktop a gpu meter and the weather from windows gadget if that makes a difference. My specs are: ATI Radeon 6500, 720 psu, 3.2ghz six core computer, 12 gb ram.
recently i have been having trouble with my computer. so i will be looking at Internet videos or playing a game or something and my computer will stop all services and will freeze up and just hang up and sit there forever and i cant do anything so i end up having to hard reboot my computer
I'm using Windows 7 SP1 on a quite capable machine. I'm getting random freezes, and what I mean by that is programs just freeze and wont respond. Games , Opera and Skype freeze for sure but the task manager manage to stay awake for long enough for me to do a basic overview of the problem. CPU usage of all programs drop to 0 but the memory usage slightly increased. The Network usage dropped to 0 while some of the cores of the CPU were being used a little. That is all I know. The freezes take about 30 seconds to 1 minute and appear at random moments and Screw me up really good.
I just wanted to see if I could get an opinion concerning random freezes in Windows 7 (on an internal Seagate Momentus XT hard disk drive). I have Windows 8 installed on an external drive connected to my computer via eSATA and it works just fine; no freezes have been reported. What happens is that after periods of non-use (15 minutes or more) and even longer periods of use (over an hour) my computer freezes. Instead of my pointer cursor I see the all-too-familiar blue wheel indicating that a process is working, but it never finishes whatever it is doing.
for the past 5 months i've been experiencing my windows 7 to randomly freeze at least once a day. it will become unresponsive, the waiting icon (the little circle) will replace the mouse pointer and the only way out will be hard restart. initially i thought it was either corrupted windows files or damaged hdd. last week i bought myself a new hdd - 120gb ssd drive. i made a clean install on the ssd drive and i formatted my old hdd to use as storage. after few hours of using my newly installed windows copy i experience the same problem.it seems to happen a lot when uploading - for example it happens every time i try to upload a Internet video. but not just that, sometimes it will randomly freeze upon launching chrome etc.
I'm getting random freezes that require me to restart my computer and I'm not sure what's wrong. The OS installed fine with no missing drivers (aside from my wireless network card and my LAN drivers which still doesn't work: Realtek RTL8168B). At first I thought I had bad video drivers as I've experienced this before with Vista but the problem persisted even after updating to the lastest Windows 7 beta drivers from ATI.
It's strange because the system rarely froze during normal usage but the OS freezes immediately when I play any internet based games (Left4dead + COD4) or use any 3rd party program that requires bandwidth (utorrent + IRC).
I suspect the culprit now to be the wireless drivers but what doesn't make any sense is that I've had no issue at all with web browsing. Internet surfing and IM-based programs (Digsby) work fine. The wireless drivers work as expected.
Other things I've done:
Vista32 Home = stable.
Memtest86+ passed without errors.
All drivers current (Windows 7 betas if possible if not Vista64).
Ran programs that caused immediate freezing in compatibility mode (Vista SP1).
Power Options: Display off @ 30 minutes; Sleep @ 2 hours.
Turned off Media Player Network Sharing services (read it could be an issue)
Ok so, I'm running build 7229 which appears to work fine doing any task but it will freeze indefinately at what appears to be random times, sometimes straight after booting up sometimes 2-3 hours of general use, there is no obvious cause for this as like it said it freezes at random times when I can either be doing nothing or merely browsing using firefox or using media player, I haven't really done anything intensive on it either.
What things would you recommend I be doing to try and solve this?
Also the install took a very long time as it hung at various stages of the process but obviously completed in the end, which happened with both 7100 and 7229, is there any specific reason for this?
I've been having this problem for a little while now and have had a hard time pin-pointing the source.
It seems to be caused by the network card I have (look in my specs). Whenever I stream videos using ORB the computer will reset what seems to be about every 10 minutes. When I stop streaming, it stays on. Sometimes I'll leave it idle for about 6 - 8 hours, get home and notice that the mouse isn't on and the machine is just locked up. The only way to recover is to reboot.
This did this with previous releases of 7 but I thought it would be fixed in the RTM. I have the most recent drivers for my NIC.
every time i try to install windows 7 on my new build, i do a clean install, however it spends about a second on the copying files part, then waits a few minutes before it starts expanding files. it hangs at 0% for a few more minutes then it will start accelerating. it will crash at random points while it is "expanding files".
the crashes vary, sometimes the display will explode and look lagged out then look like small tiles, the display sometimes turns red where shadows are as well, it also likes to just freeze. it frequently likes to freeze at 76 or 46%.
i had 7 installed one time when i kept my mouse moving constantly throughout the installation, but then the freezes would happen when i would boot into normal windows, but not safe mode.
