Well I've been have frozen screens for awhile now and finally realized that it freezes consistently after shutting it down using hibernate. Meaning when I turn on the computer, a few seconds, sometimes minutes later it freezes if I had used hibernate to shut it down earlier. The screen becomes dead and the cursor cannot move.... the only way to reboot it is to force shut down (hold the on button for a few seconds).
View 1 RepliesI have been having a serious issue with my PC. The PC will boot up without incident, but if I try to access explorer or the OS, it will slow to a crawl and eventually freeze. I have encountered this with firefox, the start menu, and when trying to access the task manager. The problem is consistent, occuring everytime I start the machine. Usually within the first few minutes of a boot-up, Windows has frozen and I must force a hard reset.
The only thing I can think of which may be the cause is a power outage which occured in the night. When I woke up, the PC was off and the problem began as soon as I booted up. The PC was plugged into a power strip which was not tripped by the outage.
I can boot up in Safe Mode, which delays the onset of the crash, but doesn't stop it. I have tried using system restore by accessing the menu during start-up (F8) but the system restore always fails at the very end. Looking at the inside of the PC, there doesn't seem to be any visible damage (that I can detect) and at no points does anything seem to be giving off any excess heat.
When I press CTRL+ALT+DEL in an attempt to access the task manager, the screen goes black and the cursor turns to a wheel. After several minutes, the wheel will stop and a prompt will appear stating "The logon process was unable to display security and logon options when CTRL+ALT+DELETE was pressed. If the operating system does not respond, press ESC or restart the computer by using the power switch."
I have bought the Windows 7 Ultimate x32 bit for my macbook pro and after a Start->Hibernate Windows does not reboot anymore, I just have a black screen.The problem comes from the Start -> hibernante, I did not change any driver or did any updateI can't get the safe mode F8 working and the same if I try booting on the Windows DVD I have the same black screen.If I boot on my Mac OS X partition I can have an access to the Windows 7 files. Maybe I could delete or modify some files to be able to boot on Windows 7 normally, without the Hibernate process.

I tried the third option, which is changing the value in the registry of the windows. After changing the value, I restarted the computer, which is what I was asked. While I was expecting to see the hibernate option enabled, I ended up with the blue screen. After the windows logo on the start up, blue screen shows up on the screen with dumping the memory. Now, I don't know how I can revert this back. Ok, I don't want hibernate enable anymore but at least I need my windows back.

I've found that when whenever I let my computer go to sleep, hibernate or restart it or shut it down then a blue screen will appear and restart the system. When the system comes to it will tell me the event name was Blue Screen and that the computer is recovering from a unexpected shutdown.I'm currently running my computer on the High Performance plan and not letting it go to any other mode?By the way, my system is a dual boot with Windows XP. XP is on my main drive and 7 is on my second drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBlue screen and freezing. This is happening frequently but never has any regularity to it. Sometimes happens after a couple of days and sometimes after a couple of minutes. Also sometimes with only one browser window open and sometimes with 15 or more. Happens with both chrome and firefox. Has not happened with other programs as this lapy only gets used for surfing/email/forums etc. Sometimes happens while the computer is sitting idle right after boot. Very strange.

It's really annoying because I can't see what the song names are in iTunes and some of my folders in Chinese are just blocks. I've already tried installing the language packs but that didn't help. I've also asked this on Microsoft's forum but they didn't help much either. I can see the fonts clearly on webpages and I can type in Chinese perfectly but I can't see the characters in places like folder names, file names, etc. I currently run Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using Win 7 Ultimate 64bit for about 6 months. About 2 months ago this behaviour started and I was unable to associate it with any changes I had made to the machine.Windows boot proceeds normally until the jingle and appearance of the logging on screen. At this point the computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard or mouse for a random time varying between 2-3 seconds and indefinitely. In the case of indefinitely I have to shut down by the power switch 3 second press and try again. My guess is that something I installed or something that installed itself is trying to call home at this time and prevents all other actions while it waits for a reply. Sometimes I have found that I can log in immediately after removing the network cable. I run Norton Internet Security which is up to date and reports nothing. If I try using the windows repair facility from the Win 7 disk to detect boot problems it reports that the boot that I had to abort was in fact successful. I guess it doesn't count anything after the log in screen.
The only time I ever got infected in the last 10 years was by a driveby trojan and I had to solve that by a drive image restore. That was a previous machine though.
I could solve this problem by restoring one of several drive images that I have but they are quite old and would have to reinstall quite a bit of software agin so I would rather not.All I am looking for is an opinion as to whether I have a windows problem or a malware problem. I never open attachments so a driveby hit is the only likely source of any malware.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi recently had to reinstall 7, because the computer kept crashing in the middle of the simplest things. say, i'd be reading a wikipedia article, or watching a Internet video, or playing a game, and the screen would all of the sudden start flashing for a few seconds, then it would just go black (70% of the time.) on occasion, it wouldn't go black, but instead becomes the color of the most prevalent color on the screen. ex: i was playing a game, and took a look at the map, which was mostly yellow. at that moment the screen would become yellow and freeze, not letting me move my mouse or ctrl+alt+del. sometimes a blue crash screen would appear, sometimes it would just restart on its own.so, anyway, i realize reinstalling windows has little to do with the above problem, but i was hoping it would fix it, and also i needed a new start, since my organizational skills were pretty bad before. once reinstalled, i had updated almost everything possible, via windows update, or manually.at first, i thought my wishes were fulfilled, because my pc was running faster and more smoothly than ever before. (i did have a little hiccup with sound card, but that's behind me now.) but, no. the black screen happened again today. that was such a low blow i wanted to jump off the balcony... i decided that the only thing i haven't updated was the bios, and, true, it was last updated in august 2010, 3 months before i got this pc. that hasn't helped one bit - screen's still flashing and freezing.
also, i've just noticed that after a few flashes the computer doesn't freeze at first, but the mouse pointer either disappears altogether or becomes thin vertical dotted line. but it still freezes after a few minutes. that's something new, but not an improvement. hopefully that helps you.[code] a quick flash or two, mouse pointer becomes a dotted line, and screen goes white (doesn't happen a lot, but has before) after 1-2 minutes. i was running 16-bit true color this time, but apparently that makes no difference.
I have a samsung R700 laptop, which decided this morning to die. I had downloaded some films last night (which I have done many times with no problems previously), switched off the laptop (which rarely do - prefering instead to hibernate.) When I switched it back on this morning, windows was carrying out about a million updates. After around 10 minutes, the screen came on, and everything looked normal. I tried to open a document, but the laptop screen froze, and although the curser was there and moving, I was unable to close or open any other pages/applications. After restarting a few times and having the same thing happen, I started in safemode, restored it back to last month, and tried again. In safemode I can scan (have used 3 virus scanners which have been reccomended) but all results are clear. I can access the internet and all of my documents. Restarted the machine after an hour switched off, and when booting up in normal mode, the home screen is just black. There is a white cursor which moves, but no taskbar or icons etc. Safe mode is still functional.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy laptop (Asus A52F) starting acting up about a week ago. It seems to be seizing and then black-screening if I have it do anything more than one small task. For example it often freezes up during scans, when I plug in a hard drive or if I try to download absolutely anything and then I have to force shut down by holding the power button.I've tried running a few different virus/malware scans (Super Anti Spyware, Ad-aware and Malware Bytes) and they found a couple little things but the compuet has still been acting up.
I've tried keeping an eye on the task manager while trying anything that usually freezes the computer and I'm seeing any jumps in the CPU. I've attempted to do a system restore as well but there is no restore point to use.
windows freezes at the logo screen when it starts growing. just got on after 4 days of working on it. tried booting with disc but came to a black screen with a white under-score then message came up saying the BOOTMGR is invalid? Is there some sort of CMD command I could use to fix this? or another way of booting? I tried doing windows repair numerous times, went into bios and reset everything to default making sure everything in use that was needed was on, did memory check, tried reinstalling from win 7 32 bit disc but didnt have any drivers that i could find on the browse tab

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Asus G73-JH laptop is currently freezing at the Windows Starting screen. I've read a lot of other forum posts that feature the same problem, BUT there is artifacting (bunch of colored dots) on the top of this screen that goes across the "Starting Windows" screen in a sort of horizontal line. Sometimes it just goes straight to the "Windows has failed to startup" screen. None of the System Recovery Options from the Startup Tool seem to help fix the problem, they've all been tried. Trying to boot in safe mode doesn't work either, as after it starts to load the files, the artifacting appears on the top again after about the third file and it freezes.
I have not made ANY major changes to anything on the system for over two months prior. Because of the artifacting seen, I imagine the video card is fried or malfunctioning. I called Asus and all they suggested to me so far was to reformat, because apparently they think its a driver issue, but I'd like to consider myself fairly tech savvy and believe that there has got to be a better solution that does not involve reformatting the hard drive, as I had a lot of important data that had been stored and not backed up the previous night before the unexpected freezing. The only things I seem to have access to is BIOS and the Startup Tool. I have a System Recovery Disc too, and am curious if there is a solution to this problem (I am not well versed in BIOS), and (assuming the video card is shot) if there would be a way I can access by data and possibly back it up before reformatting so I can persuade Asus support that my card is in fact shot so I can send it in for a replacement!
I have just installed Windows 7 and I'm having some major trouble with my graphics card. I had Vista installed, and just got my laptop from back from Dell after some repairs for faulty motherboard/GPU. I have wiped my hard drive and started fresh by installing Windows 7 Build 7100.
All seemed good when I first opened it up, everything was nice but I noticed I only had Vista Basic color scheme. I had a look in device manager and under display adaptor it had Standard VGA adaptor listed.
I then installed my nVidia driver number 185.85 and upon restart I got a black screen after welcome screen. I then rebooted and all seemed fine. After around 15-20 seconds of use windows would lock up for a minute or so, then flash a BSOD and then reboot.
I figured it was a driver issue, so I jumped on and downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card (GeForce 8400M GS) which was 186.03. This had the exact same result. Random shutdowns and failing to boot, alot of freezing when I could boot.
I have found if I go into device manager and disable it, I can run windows 7 fine but can't use screen savers or basically anything that needs graphics.

my computer started freezing on on the windows loading screen, so i had to turn my computer off again, wait a few seconds and start it agin, it then worked on the second time. i couldnt get into any kind of safemode.when i got into windows i had loads of generic win32 errors, i couldnt acess the internet or any anti spy/virus programs. i shut it down and it hangs so i have to manually swith it off.i was on xp so i thought i would format my computer and install windows 7. This has helped with all the win32 errors but my computer still freezes on start up at the windows loading screen and still requires me to swith it off and restart it, this works most of the time. might have to do this 2 or 3 times.i have looked in the events viewer and it says i have 3 errors: error 6 kernel process power / restart manager.
