The last few days I've been getting annoying screen freezes, and it doesn't matter what I'm doing. I must have picked up something somewhere, but Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, nor Avast are giving me any clues.
As of about 3 days ago my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit) fails to boot up. It gets to the initial Windows screen before the login screen and freezes, then sends me into Startup Repair. [code] I've tried running the diagnostics and get no error codes. I've tried restore points, memory diagnostics.. pretty much everything except factory image, with no success. I have a lot of government programs installed on this laptop, so.
Acer Aspire AS5741-5763 15.6" Laptop (2.26 GHz Intel Core i3-350M Mobile Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Super-Multi Drive, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) Mesh Blackmy acer laptop gets to the start up windows screen and then it freezes on this[URL]his is a picture of how it freezes)
Earlier today my computer had a rather nasty shut down with no battery and then this started. I have checked around and I have done everything I can think of to see what could be causing the screen freezes including: Checking Processes for something hogging CPU, checking event viewer system and application for excessive errors, running memory diagnostics and running in safe mode but I have had no luck. What could be slightly more alarming is that I am fairly sure that this freezing problem is actually occuring outside of Windows, in the BIOS I could still notice the freezing.
If I close down my computer by switching it off with the on/off switch, when I next boot, I see the message"Start Windows Normally" and a stopwatch which counts off the seconds until the machine will boot normally together with several options to boot into Safe Mode, which is expected. However I cannot select"Start Windows Normally" or move up and down to select Safe Mode options. I have to let the timer run it's course and boot normally because the whole window is frozen
I've had trouble with BSODS and screen freezes on and of for a couple of weeks. Sometimes there is no dumpfile and sometimes there is nothing in event viewer. I uninstalled Avast free and the problem was gone for 4 days. I've tried almost everything. Cleaning out dust updating drivers sfc scannow/ diskcheck. I also reinstalled an image from before the problems started I had another this morning but no log I attacked what I've found relating to it. This is a Windows 7 64 bit with 8 gig ram and a NVIDIA GT 9800 video card. It's a HP dt500.
My laptop was working fine the other day and then all of sudden that same night my laptop would no longer load. It will always freeze at the Windows 7 welcome screen. The loading circle just stops spinning.I did not install any drivers or programs that day or even the past few days. Here is some info on what ive tried.
1) Safemode works without a problem.
2) However, safemode with networking still freezes. It will get past the welcome screen but then freeze after about 10 seconds
3) Ive tried doing alt+ctrl+del while booting in windows but it will still freeze. For some reason, I was able to get past the welcome screen but then it freezes like a few seconds later.
4) Ive tried restarting from safemode. It will still freeze at Windows 7 welcome screen
5) I had a password but then removed the password and enabled automatic login
6) The last thing Ive tried is to use chkdsk /f. I couldnt use it while in cmd so I allowed checkdisk to start when I restarted my computer. Checkdisk ran and gets stuck at 57% during phase 2, index searching. Now I cant even get to Windows because any hard shutdown and restart brings me automatically back to chkdsk. FML.
7) I need to try startup repair utility but I do not have the windows 7 installation CD handy at the moment. That also rules out windows repair.
Possible causes:
1) My HD may have become damaged during in transit. I had to bring with my other gear on to a plane
2) My windows 7 build may have expired. Probably not likely as it was working fine that same day.
whenever I turn on my Dell XPS Studio 13 laptop I get onto my log-in and it asks for my password. When I do enter it, the display "Welcome" shows up and I get stuck there. I've been looking at the forums on the page for similar problems and here is what I can say about the situation so far, Booting my laptop on Safe Mode (with Networking) works fine. Tried disabling networking, sound, and wireless devices in device manager did not work.
My laptop freezes on the welcome screen, windows7 home premium. Start up menu does not work in any safe mode. Would it be in my best interest to restore to out-of- box status?
I recently acquired a SC101 network hard drive and installed the program for it. Now, my computer keeps stalling at the shutting down screen (after the desk top closes, just the blue screen).
symptoms/occurrences:- playing online league of legends video game (biggest culprit, crashes 1 out of every 5 matches on average, sometimes just freezes with static sound, or sends me to bsod and shuts down)- sometimes afterwards will shut down again after gaming crash, for e.g. i played a Internet video and it crashed, restarted tried playing it again, crashed again.- sometimes crashes randomly, however it seems that when there is audio or video running, or high performance programs such as video games running, it is more prone to happen.have not done a memtest yet, but will probably do shortly, just need to go out and buy a blank cd.

I have a 7 month old Gateway desktop I got from Best Buy. Not long after getting it I replaced the power supply and put in a graphics card, no problems whatsoever. I didn't plug or unplug anything, but this morning I tried to turn it on and it sticks at the black screen with the logo, the logo will do the small wave thing and pulse but the computer won't go past it. I have tried recovery, repair, memory repair, and CHKDSK, all say they can't fix it automatically. Safe mode doesn't work and gets stuck while trying to load the files for it.
I took out the PSU and GPU and put back in the original power supply and it didn't fix it (not good with hardware so don't laugh if that sounds stupid). It did not come with a Windows 7 repair disk. I don't want to take it back and trade it in because I have files on it I want to keep, is there anything else I missed that may fix this?
Specs are (general as I don't know specifics):
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit i5 2320 CPU quad core @ 3GZ 8 GB RAM Radeon HD 6770 GPU (Intel HD now that it's taken out)
inter ® core â„¢ i3 CPU M330 @ 2.13 ghz Installed memory (RAM) 3.00 GB (2.86 usable) 64 bit operating system.
I have reduced start up programs to minimum and offloaded all big files to external hard disk to free of space, but when I use the internet, the pc just seems to slow down until it completely stops.on many occasions it automatically shuts down due to over heating, I have a fan pad (under the laptop) to keep the heat down but still makes no difference, I have also updated the BIOS settings and set the internal fan to work all the time.Is this a virus ? or just a crap laptop ?I have installed bit defender and also regularly run clean up! to remove temp files.
I am sorry to bother you but my PC whose OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x86 froze on the 'welcome' screen today! I freaked out and tried everything I could to make it work, but I couldn't. It only runs under Safe Mode which is making me go crazy. I already tried Start Up repair and obviously didn't work!
I'm using Windows 7 32 bits, and had no trouble till yesterday. For a year and so, always update and have no problem. But last update made computer go crazy.It did no turn off by herself, it took more than half an hour, so I turned it off pressing power button. After that, when booting, it shows users screen, enter pass and it freezes in the "welcome" screen, with the little think turning arround forever.So far, tried with safe mode. Thing is, VERY weird, it never happened beforme to me, even on XP, there is NO chance of a previous good cofiguration. So, when I try to go back to previous state of those beautiful updates, I cannot, for there is no chance. I don't know why, seems like it was turned off. When xp user, had so many time system back that way.
Also tryed changing to "backup" files of SYSTEM and SOFTWARE, in :WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGREGBACK I don't know if doing it right, apparently not =P copied back files from that directory in system32config and restarted, but same thing happens.I am using the same machine to post this, with another HD, so I think that it's no hard problem, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to use it. Runs games and stuff, so it's OK I guess.Also tryed, before, CHKDISK and defrag.Now I have the "good" disk, from where I boot, and the other connected, and can access to old Windows, and disk itself, so, I guess too that the HD works fine.
Im having a really strange issue on my computer, im running windows 7 x64
basically what happens is im using my computer and suddenly it freezes. At first I thought the whole computer freezes but I soon realized this is not the case. My mouse pointer remains free and i can move it while everything else freezes. The strange part is that the actual computer doesnt freeze, I know this because of some things I observed in this "frozen" state:
- if i have itunes running before it freezes , I can still hit the pause/play buttons and switch songs after it freezes by clicking on them in the itunes interface. The selected song plays, and hitting the pause/play buttons do what they should, but nothing changes on the screen, it remains "frozen"
- if i double click a program from a desktop icon I get the loading mouse pointer as if the program is loading but the screen remains frozen so i dont actually see the program pop up.
so basically what I thought was my computer freezing is really just my screen freezing, the computer is running fine in the "background" as I can still do certain tasks, but the screen doesnt update to reflect these tasks.
What could be the problem? I had this same exact issue like half a year back and it one day just went away so I never bothered with it but here it is, its back and its really annoying because i have to hard restart my computer every time it happens.
Sometimes it happens out of nowhere, but I noticed it happens most of the time when my computer "shakes". Like when i get up and bang my knee on the desk, it freezes. or when i walk like an elephant in my room, it freezes.. etc. But sometimes it happens when im sitting perfectly still also so I dont even know if the shaking is really what causes it
It if very annoying because I am trying to do shit and then my screen will freeze for a few seconds, then go black for a few second, then flashes a couple times, and then starts to work again. the entire process takes about 15 to 20 seconds. The error message that comes up says
Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 295.73 stopped responding and has successfully recovered.I've tried re-installing the drivers for my card but it didn't work. I have an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420.
I just got Windows 7 Pro 32 bit as a early Christmas gift and was excited to try the new OS. I have been running XP pro for years and my current system works great. I backed up my files and tried to load it on a RAID 0 configuration. It started just fine then it got to the splash screen and froze. After about ten minutes I realized this was not normal so I ejected the disk and it moved to the next screen which is the windows wallpaper.
It said windows is “starting up” and froze again and continued to freeze throughout the process. I did a custom install. I repeated the process until it started to expand the files then nothing. It said it couldn’t recognize my hard drives. I deleted all raid partitions and rebuilt the raid array. I tried to reload it again and still nothing. I reloaded XP then ran the installation disk. It loaded up Windows 7and after several ejects Windows 7 was running. I tried to load Office 07 and it wouldn’t load. The CD sounded like it was working but it seemed like the disk could not be recognized.
I downloaded all the updates and correct drivers and Office 07 still wouldn’t load. After several hours and repeated attempts to get it working right, it crashed. I have not been able to get it to work at all. I tried again to load Windows 7 but I gave up thinking I am missing something but I don’t know what. I have since loaded XP back up and I am looking for any help at all as to what the problem might be. I ran the advisor and it said my system can run Windows 7. The Mobo disk has an updater but there were no new bios files available. I am stuck. My comp specs are below, maybe it might shed some light on the problem. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I have an acer aspire one d255 and recently used a anytime upgrade key and got windows 7 ultimate it worked for a couple days now when i turn my computer on it goes to a black screen and freezes after the welcome screen cant go into safe mode or desktop and takes longer than normal to get to the welcome screen?
I've been having this issue and have been unable to fix it so far. I can get into my computer in safe mode but have not been able to get on normally without it freezing on the windows logo screen. I tried running various tests which have failed and even reinstalled windows (upgraded so I wouldnt lose data) but that failed as well. System repair doesnt work either. I have no idea what could be wrong.
I recently built a computer, and everything worked fine at first but after awhile of using it eventually I shut it down and when I rebooted it would freeze on startup (where the splash screen with the 4 circles is), I cannot get into startup repair, it just freezes, I cannot get into safe mode it just freezes
Sometimes, but not always, when I am restarting or shutting down my computer Windows freezes at the Shutdown screen, the little circle thing just stops spinning and nothing happens. I just built this computer a few days ago, installed every possible update/driver. Not very savvy when it comes to BIOS stuff or whatever the root of this issue is..
Only programs outside of stuff that came with MB, GPU, etc is League of Legends. I noticed Easy Tune 6 was installed with the MB disc, messed around with it a bit but read bad things so deleted it. Thats all i can think of..
Every time i turn on my computer and work on it for a few minute, it freezes! and give me this strange screen,Everything works okay up to this point. it freezes and just stay dead until i manually restart it. i'm not sure if this is due to the graphic card or something. i'm a total noob. if you have any idea what the problem is and how i can resolve it.
I have a pc since 2007 with the following characteristics:Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Box;Motherboard - Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-APMem Ram- OCZ DDR2 4GB PC2-6400 Gold GX XTC 5-5-5-12Internal Harddrive - Seagate 500GB SATAII 16MBGraphics- Sapphire HD2900XT 512MBDVD/CD - LG DVD-RW GSA-H44N 18XTower - Thermaltake Soprano DX BlackPower Source - LC-Power 850W Arkangel V.2.2 140mmMonitor - Samsung 206BWSO - Windows 7 64bitsEarlier this year it started freezing when running new games and the fans made a lot of noise. After a while it started freezing all the time so I decided to clean it up. It had tons of dust that I removed and I even applied thermal paste MX3 to the processor. Everything went well for a few months but now the freezing has restarted. Basically, I turn it on and it freezes while doing small stuff like opening firefox or steam whithin a minutes.
Normally the screen goes black but the lights in the tower stay on and the fans keep working. I have to manually reboot and then it just works normally with no more freezings. This is a temperature scan that I made just before one of the freezes:Sometimes a blue screen appears and the following error is issued:Assinatura do problema:Nome do Evento de Problema: BlueScreenVers�o do SO: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3ID de Regi�o: 2070Informa��es adicionais sobre o problema:BCCode: 116BCP1: FFFFFA8003DF94E0BCP2: FFFFF88003A93408BCP3: 0000000000000000BCP4: 0000000000000002OS Version: 6_1_7601Service Pack: 1_0Product: 768_1I have all the lastest drivers installed.

So the problems I used to have was when as soon as I logged on to skype or pressed print screen, the entire computer would freeze and there was nothing else I could do exept for a hard reset. When looking for a solution online I found a command for cmd prompt which disabled some debugging; ( even though I have absolutely no idea what this does, I always feel like shutting down parts of windows is not such a good idea)
bcdedit -debug off
I used this command rebooted and to my relief i was able to take screen shots without freezing my entire PC. Unfortunately when I run skype now and log in, my computer freezes and gets a BSOD : 0x00000101, Something about a time signal from a co-processor which wasn't received on time.
Just got myself this (old) new computer, that I was going to use for a media center. But it randomly crashes, and i can't seem to figure out why. I formated it yesterday, so I doubt it would be a virus.Sometimes it goes black, and picture returns within a few seconds, but other times it freezes up completely. When I restart it (with the power button) I cant get pasted the BIOS screen, but if I unplug the power supply, and hit the power button a few times and then plug in the power, it starts up like normal. (does that make it a RAM issue?)Freezes have happened doing the following: Using XBMC (both in menus and while watching a video), while Internet Download Manager was running. While file transfer was running, and a few times while i wasnt at the computer.Specs:Windows 7 Ultimate x64ATI Radeon HD 5670Intel Core i3 CPU6GB RAMPhillips TV (Connected with HDMI)
Start computer from sleep, log into Teamspeak 3, open Play with Six and launch ArmA 2 OA ACE mod an play. But today, my computer screen freezed and I couldn't do anything except move my mouse. After doing a hard restart of my computer and getting an error(batch file f:dosmenu. BAT missing) and doing another restart and then I got a BSOD. I can only start my computer in Safe Mode.Im running Windows 7 Home Premium, Alienware M17X laptop.
