Sony Vaio VPCZ227GG Freezes With No Errors, Event Log Entries Or Dumps?
Mar 19, 2012
I bought a Sony Vaio VPCZ227GG almost 2 months back and its been running perfectly until the last week. There have been no hardware updates, system installs etc. only the recommended Sony Vaio Care driver updates.I will be using the laptop for a while and then it will just crash. The laptop stays on the screen it was on before the crash but the mouse, keyboard, basically everything is dead. The only way to cycle it is to power down.
System Spec:
Windows 7-64 bit Came preinstalled
Intel� Core� i7-2640M Processor 2.80 GHz with Turbo Boost up
8GB Ram
256 SSD Drive
Intel Onboard Graphics
AMD Radeon External Graphics via Media Dock
Full Retail
Hardware and OS less than 2 months old.

So my computer randomly freezes up and when I boot up there are no log entries of the event. There are however always 3 log entries but I don't believe they are related to the actual problem. The 3 that are always there are: 6008, 7026 and 41. Now when I say it freezes I mean it literally freezes up. I do not get any blue screen or black screen or any errors it literally freezes as if I took a screenshot of my desktop and was looking at it. I can not use my mouse or keyboard I can not hear anyone in a skype call or anything it is FROZEN. The only way I am able to reboot it is by holding the power button which thus gives me the error code 41 above.

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.

Superantispyware

CCleaner

Basically my laptop has been having very high temperatures for a long time (usually ~60C for CPU and often 100-110 for GPU...insanely high, in other words) For example, see how hot the machine gets just by resuming from a sleep (this is all within a minute or so):I have been seeing the following error in event viewer each time I start Windows (4 entries) for some time:So today I bit the bullet and had the back cover off the laptop and noticed what a bad state the thermal compound was in, for both the CPU and the chipset chip, so wiped it off using TIM Cleaner, and then applied new thermal compound and put the laptop back together. I was actually shocked because for the first time since I can remember, I could feel cold air blowing from the vents of my laptop! I logged into Windows and noticed that my temperatures had fallen and were staying at around the below:Not as low as I'd like but a massive improvement. Trouble is, I am still getting the WHEA-Logger event errors in Windows Event Viewer ('processor core') and wondered if this was not in regards to overheating after all?The plus side is my laptop is now almost totally silent - the way it must have been when I bought it new 3 years ago! But I was wondering how to investigate these WHEA-Logger errors?PS - I think I accidentally got some TIM Cleaner spilt on the carpet. Might be nothing to worry about, but I did notice the "Harmful" hazard symbol on the bottle?

I have a vaio and it has had windows 7 64 from new, and just recently it has been freezing with no errors.What happens: when i turn it on it starts normally and loads windows, then aftr about 1 minute it locks up as if it is trying to open something. The light on the laptop is solid orange as if it is busy doing something, but if i open task manager it says 5% cpu usage and the ram is using only 1.5 gigs.If i leave the computer on for 1-2 hours it will un freeze and be totally normal again.It did it once at first and i removed the program that i thought was causing it and it didnt happen again for a few days until i updated windows.

I started getting these about 6 months ago and they became especially noticeable while playing SWTOR back then. They seem to occur more often when playing an online game but also occur when browsing the web, see one of my screenshots to get an idea of the frequency.I checked the windows help page url... and I have no idea what they're talking about. I tried the simple fix which was disabling IPv6 (no luck). I dunno what a "spanning tree portfast" setting is on my router and I didn't want to go messing around with the registry for their first fix when I have no idea what I'm doing.The error seems kinda vague which I guess explains the multiple fixes, it has listed different URLs too, teredo is just the most recent, I looked that up when it first showed up and it was indeed something to do with IPv6.

I just bought a new ASUS laptop with Windows 7 and I am so disapppointed. I got an error on reboot after updating Windows. I get hangs all the time. Application consitantly stop responding. The event log is chalk ful of errors, some dated from before I even bought this computer.
I attached a screenshot of the event log. I suspect there is more than one thing wrong. I expect an out of the box product to work. I am so upset and am about to return this and go mac..

I have Win 7 installed and working (built from the Dell OEM DVD - Home Edtion 64 bit). I have all the 80 + updates/patches downloaded and installed Everything is working good. My main partition is Drive C (system/boot/active) and I have an image backup of it stored on another drive My data partition is Drive D and I have file backups for it on another drive Issues. All is good except on restarts, I get chkdsk / drive consistency problems. In the event I cannot clear out the errors, I may need to reformat Question - Which, if any, of the two options should I go with.
OPTION 1
1) Boot from Win 7 OEM DVD
2) Select Custom/Advanced/Format
3) Let Win 7 format the drive and install clean.
4) But then blow away the WIn 7 version and recover Win 7 SP1 from the image backup
Or Option 2
1) Boot from WIn 7 OEM DVD (same as Option 1)
2) Select Custom/Advanced/Format (same as Option 1)
3) Let Win 7 format the drive and install clean. (same as Option 1)
4) And then continue from there ,ie start all over again to reload all the windows updates.

Every 7 minutes this error is logged in event viewer.
I have wired connection disabled, wireless connection works fine. It actually works much better than it did with XP Pro. Lan transfers are much faster.
What's causing this and how to stop it?

Friends I have two repetitive errors routinely showing up in my System Event log. I believe these to be Windows 7 networking policy errors in that it does not deal with a missing workgroup member correctly, but I could be wrong, obviously.

I'm having a problem with the Windows 7 CD burner when trying to burn a data CD-R or CD-RW in Mastered (CDFS) format (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit). Whenever I use a new or blank disc and then select the Mastered option, when I re-insert the CD after burning it says it's in UDF format. What is more, I then have problems trying to open or copy files from the CD - files won't open.
Bad block errors in the event viewer etc. These errors are seen when trying to use the CD on any computer, including the one it was recorded on, and I've tried several different makes, types and speeds of disc. I can record in CDFS format using the Windows 7 CD burner if the CD already contains files which were recorded in that format using a 3rd party application or another computer.
This is happening on two Windows 7 computers. I have considered using the Live File format (UDF) instead, but when using Windows 7's burner to format the disc it reduces its capacity by about 130MB and the data won't fit any more. I know I can use other CD burning software (and already do), but there are occasions when the Windows burner is the simplest option, so I'd like to get it to work properly.

As of recently, I just upgraded my system to the following configuration:
Intel i5 2500K 1155 socket CPU
Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 revision 1.3 mobo
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 RAM
(2) 60GB OCZ Solid 3 SSDs (One for each partition that I'm running on my system)
2TB Western Digital SATA HDD
nVidia GeForce GT430 2GB DDR3 graphics card
Rosewill RD 500-2SB 500 Watt PSU
Rosewill Challenger Mid-Size ATX case
Prior to installing the software, I had tested the memory, CPU, HDDs, everything. All checked out OK. My system hosts two SSDs to run two partitions: One is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, the other being Windows XP Professional 32-bit. The additional 2TB HDD is basically to store the tons of data that I have on, and I use the Windows 7 My Documents folders to have everything map to the HDD to acquire my data, download to it, etc.
The issue that I seem to be running into, is that every time I load up the Windows 7 partition, no matter how long I leave everything running, if per say I was to leave it running overnight, when I wake up in the morning, it will show that the PC has rebooted. Upon checking the event viewer, I am seeing multiple entries specifying that the error was caused by a kernel-power error, listed as event 41. Reviewing this info, I later noticed that it was causing a bugcheckcode of 265 everytime the issue occurs.
Ideally, I would like to think that it was hardware related, or driver related, as it mostly occurs when I play movies or videos, but when I boot the Windows XP partition, I never come across any of these issues whatsoever. Granted, the XP partition is used primarily for work when I do remote stuff from home, but granted I want to watch a movie on it I can also. Also, when loading the eventvwr on the XP partition, no kernel-power entries are listed. So clearly, this is occuring on the Windows 7 partition, and not the Windows XP partition. Since I dont really think this is due to hardware issues.

I was working on an email Saturday when my Sony Vaio stopped working & flipped over to the black & white Vaio screen. Since then, I've been able to reboot it once, but it flips right back over to the Vaio screen. At one point, I was able to get to the Advanced Boot Options menu by hitting F8. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration. It got to the Windows logo screen, then went back to the Vaio screen, then went to the "Operating System could not be found" screen.The computer has a One Touch Web Access Without Booting Up feature.

ever since I got my new Asus A52J notebook about 3 months ago, it occasionally freezes for everything between 30 seconds and 5 minutes, mostly around 1 or 2minutes. After this happens I find an event with the Event ID 9 in the Event Viewer(The device, DeviceIdeiaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.). So far this mostly happened when I'm watching a movie(online as well as offline) or playing a game and then mostly in the beginning 1-3 times and after this it was fine for the rest. SO, now I installed Firefox 4 and if I'm running it, I get 10 of these freezes in 30 minutes. Anyway, I downgraded to Firefox 3.6, I found some information about this on some other pages already(The device, DeviceIdeiaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period Solutions Log , Derek Seaman's Blog: Windows 7 Intel SATA/AHCI Lockups and Intel SATA Event ID 9), but nothing helped. By the way, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, the version that was installed on the computer. I attached the reports you ask for in the BSOD posting instructions, even though I'm not having BSOD issues at the moment, might still be some useful information in it.

The screen will lock up, and pressing numpad/CtrlAltDel elicits no response meaning that it's a total freeze, forcing me to reset. Pulling up event viewer, it seems like 2 events occur right at the point of freezing. FilterManager seems to have some correlation with my issue, though that's the extent of my knowledge on what's causing the freezes.
Log Name: System

i have a hp pavilion dv6 6123cl with windows 7 home premium. since last week, it crashes randomly and the led that indicates whether wifi is on which is on f12 button turns red (wifi off). it has happened surfing on the web (in mozilla firefox) watching Internet videos or playing games with wifi on. after the laptop freezes, i turned it off with the power button, turn it on and the wifi does not reconnect.
only if i turn it off and leave the laptop for say, half an hour and then turn it on, then wifi is able to connect. i have been looking at event viewer near the time of the freezes and there's an error that indicates that a service called trueservices stops with event id 7034. also there is a warning that 'wlan autoconfig service has successfully stopped' with event id 4001. i am quite newbie with windows 7.

Now dunno what to do xD I've reinstalled 2 times but there are always freezes..what can be the problem? maybe a bad ISO? or a bad burn?
