Reinstalled CPU And Computer Won't Boot
Jul 11, 2012
My computer has had a bad case of the shut downs here recently so i cracked open the case and checked things... it turned out that my heat sink was loose and almost completely off of my CPU.Easy fix right??? I took both off cleaned em up really good applied new thermal compound and put it all back...THAT'S ALL I DID. Now when i press my power button:
1. My light for my power button doesn't come on
2. It doesn't sound like normal...at all...much quieter
3. My screens don't even come up with anything. I've tried going to the Mobo VGA port thinking that it might have reset...that's not the case either.

i decided to re-install windows 7 and bought a copy from PC World.i reinstalled it and it loaded and worked briefly (a few hours) but then wouldn't boot, going to "install repair" and saying it couldn't be fixed (it was trying to fix hard-disk).i thought this was strange as it was a new install but tried again.and this time the same thing happened but straight away.

I reinstalled windows 7 on another drive I have and it wont start up. I get the BIOS flash screen and then a blinking text cursor. Nothing else.. But get this.. when I put my old HDD back in the computer allows me to select between the 2 different windows installs on both drives and it lets me boot into the fresh install on the new disk.. But only when the old disk is in.

By "blank" I mean an empty laptop hard drive. I'm going to have my hard drive replaced, so I believe the new hard drive won't have an operating system installed on it. So if I create a system image and store it in an external HDD, will I be able to reinstall the OS simply py plugging the external HDD into the laptop ?

For awhile now my mouse has been very erratic, and I want to reinstall my comp to rid the problem. My antivirus & Malwarebytes' are not finding the problem.
With all my files now on a flash drive, is it possible to re-contract whatever is giving me mouse problems when I stick the drive back in a fresh installed comp? I highly doubt it, but I want another person's opinion.

A few months back, I reinstalled windows after updating my bios.I screwed things up pretty badly because instead of just setting the Bios options to recognize my RAID array and though there was some bigger issue at play an ended up reinstalling windows before I figured it out. Anyway, everything worked fine for a few months, but then this not genuine box started appearing and disappearing in the bottom corner. It does go away, and I am able to install updates, so I think it's just an error with my bios as I saw in another thread, but I want to make sure before I touch anything. I ran the diagnostic report a few minutes back when the logo was down there (although it's since gone away again). [code]

I am running an Advent desktop PC and its stats are as follows; Intel Core i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz 8GB RAM Win 7 64 bit.The problem I am having is when ever i boot up the computer it shows the Advent logo-screen where I can access the boot menu etc but then it goes to a black screen with a cursor/underscore flashing in the top left... This screen stays for quite a while and I am not sure if it stops because of a key I have pressed or just because it has run its course but after it disappears the computer goes back to the logo-screen for a moment and proceeds to boot up as normal except slightly slower than usual.It is a relatively new computer and it has no problems running at all once the boot up is complete it is fast and as friendly as ever.

I completely formatted my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I put in the correct product key and then when I attempted to connect to the internet I couldn't because I don't have the correct drivers. Back when I used to use Windows XP I put a little CD in and then installed the drivers from Device Manager but now with Windows 7, I put the CD in and I can't install the drivers. They show up with a tiny symbol with a yellow exclamation mark on it (it was like this too back when I used XP, but I had no problems then,).

I just re-installed windows 7 to my pc after a recent update caused it to completely crash. Now, about an hour after i turn on my computer it randomly decided to reboot (but not before flashing the BSOD of course).

Until recently, I was running a bootlegged Windows 7 copy. Finally I broke down and bought it from a friend at Microsoft. But now all my driver software is lost. Where can I find an online driver updater that won't kill me with viruses? And is there anything else I should do to protect my system?

I was using my laptop fine for a few month now. I let a friend use it for a week and he "somehow" got a virus . I wasn't too stressed as i didn't have any personal information or anything important on it. So i reinstalled Windows using my flash drive, the iso from the Windows 7 Professional 64bit CD i had, and the Windows USB-DVD tool downloaded from Microsoft. I changed the boot priorities in BIOS to my USB drive, went through the installation setup and formatted all the partitions on my HDD and installed windows 7 professional 64bit. It loads up and for the most part works fine.First off my resolution will not go above 1024 x 768. Even though previously it was a lot higher, can't remember exact resolution, but was higher than that. Next, when i go to device manager, the following are listed under Other Devices with Yellow Exclamation points by them; Ethernet Controler, Network Controller, PCI Simple Communications Controller, and SM Bus Controller. I've Googled, searched these forums, and tried each solution out there. But to no avail.I purchased the laptop from Best Buy but i do not have any kind of recovery CD's.
Basically i think windows is not properly recognizing the hardware i have installed. Because the laptop screen can go to a higher resolution, but windows won't recognize it properly. Even Windows Aero isn't working properly, and the computer is marketed as a gaming laptop, so i know it has the graphical power.Feel free to explain in detail as i'm pretty good with computers but this problem has me stumped. And for a person that will not stop until something is fixed, its driving me crazy.I'm doing this off another laptop i have that has access to the internet (obviously). So if there are any programs i need to download i have the ability to do so.

I've reinstall my Windows 7. But now i don't know the reason why my CPU always show that 100% CPU, even when starting! I've found that in window task manager there are three processes: cmd.exe, cmd.exe*32 and again,cmd.exe, (I don't run them) and if I end them CPU usage will be normal.

Still working on my friend's laptop. I told him to backup all of his files, and specifically directed him to his iTunes Music folder. I then wiped his drive, etc.Now, he says... when the iTouch is plugged in, it should 1) "automatically" install iTunes from the iTouch, 2) the computer will then "remember" his name, settings, and iTouch serial number, 3) so that it can restore the library from all of the music, etc. from the iTouch-- 4) which is NOT the same as the iTunes Music folder, as there is much more on the iTouch that is not in that folder. Again, he tells me this NOW. *Note* The data files (ie iTunes Music folder) have not yet been moved back onto this drive.
1) I had already installed iTunes before I let him try to resync his iTouch. He insisted that me installing it before he plugged the iTouch in is one of the things that is causing this not to "work," so he uninstalled, redownloaded & reinstalled the new version anyway, iTunes 10.5, this morning.
2) He insists that, upon opening up the program the FIRST time, the computer "remembered" his name since it says "[name, name]'s Library" under Preferences. "That's cuz when I installed Windows 7, I put your username as the same that you had. It's just taking it from your username." "So, it remembered?" :facepalm: And he says, "All the settings are the same." "Well, then, you must have just happen to have had them set as the same thing that is default." After nearly 2 weeks, he does not understand what an operating system is or what "erasing everything on the drive so it is completely and utterly blank," means.
3) As for restoring the iTunes library from what is on his iTouch, I'm at a loss there. My first experience with iTunes ever was when a friend put his whole library on my new & empty iTunes, but that was back in 2006.
4) Is it even possible to sync things onto your iTouch without going through iTunes, when it is set up to only work with iTunes, so that the content ends up on the iTouch, but is somehow NOT under iTunes control & thus dumped into the iTunes Music folder? Now I'm just getting confused...

I just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium because I had about 4 redirecting issues or viruses when I would use any search engine. Anyway. Now I can't run a program that ran perfectly before. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I used the compatibility trouble shooter. The only thing I haven't done is get all my drivers yet. Could not having all my drivers make a program unresponsive or do you think it is a separate problem. Like I said it worked perfect before and the only difference is I had all my drivers installed.

I was thinking I may need to update some of my network drivers, which is going to stink doing that offline. I just wanted to make sure there aren't any more routes I could go to fix this problem

The other day I bought a new HDD, and decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 for it. After getting it all installed and installing all the drivers and Windows updates, I decided to watch a movie. I then realized that the audio volume was (as a ballpark guess) 20-30% quieter than I was used to. I rebooted and loaded up the old Windows install, since I still have it, and started up the movie and the volume was back to the level that I was used to.Reinstalled drivers; From motherboard website, from Realtek website, and even went over and backed up the drivers on my old install to reinstall on the new drive.Checked all audio panel settings, made sure everything was turned up and set the same as my old install. Made sure it wasn't an issue with the media player program I was using; Reinstalled it and made sure the settings were the same as my old install. [code]

I bought this computer as an custom product. It was fine but it slowed down drammatically over the past week. So some people suggested i should try to reinstall Windows 7. The installation went fine but when I was done with the installation i found out lots of things were not functioning any more. For example the computer can't detect the graphics card and claims that it only finds the Standard VGA thingy. I used to connect to interest with Lan cable to the router but that doesnt work either as no options showed up when i want to connect to a new network. Sound isn't working either as it says no headphones detected while there was one plugged in all time. The sata-3 usb port isnt working at all. So is there anything i can do to fix this total mess and get back to work soon? I did create an system image before i reinstalled the system but that wasn't recognized when i have the hard drive plugged in. So everything was in an chaos and i have no clue what should i do next.

I have an Alienware m15x running windows 7 64bit and recently reinstalled to try and improve performance. I installed using the cd, and then used the resource cd to install any drivers. Everything on the disk was installed, but I still can't connect to any wireless networks. Troubleshooting either says there are no networks available, or that I need to connect an ethernet cord.
I downloaded all drivers from the alienware and dell sites, and sill nothing.
I've tried all drivers, reinstalling and installing drivers in different orders and nothing is working.

Whenever I redo my windows, the overall volume is greatly decreased and I mean with master volume of the windows maxed out. After a few days or weeks the volume gets back up where you can actually understand a songs lyrics.
