System Crash Randomly / No Rythm Or Reason Or Pattern
Nov 7, 2011
I don't understand why this system is crashing. Replace motherboard and it keeps doing it no rhythm or reason to it. So I thought I give it a push out to here to see if I can get any feedback from you all.
I have an HP EliteBook 8440p. I installed Windows 7 Professional in it. I got it second hand and i dont have much past history about it. But since the installation it is hanging, stucking and giving BSOD randomly.. sometime opening Chrome, sometime listening to song, sometime playing Windows games. Sometime while moving it or just changing it a little like while I am sitting on couch and moves forward a little.. I opened it and tightened hard disk screws and memory...
Specs: EliteBook 8440p Intel i5 RAM 2 GB Windows 7 Professional
Sometimes for apparently no reason at all my mouse cursor will just freeze for a couple seconds and I won't be able to move it. When this happens (I have Process Explorer minimized to tray) I can see that just about no CPU is being taken up either. So I know that this freeze isn't because my processor is being overworked. Also, it's not because I'm opening a program or anything, hence it is seemingly very random. Is there any reason why the mouse should randomly freeze from time to time when nothing that major is happening on the system?
I've had this laptop for about 8 months now. Kept very clean, always plugged in.First thing I did was get AVG and kept it up to date. Kept Windows up to date as well. Scan regularly, disc cleanup and defrag regularly as well.About 1 month ago it started being significantly slower than before. Quite frustrating mainly because I can't figure out why. Hard drive is about half full, no viruses according to AVG[I haven't had a virus since I got my last computer 5 years ago to the best of my knowledge]I don't do a whole lot, play WoW and listen to music mainly. Sometimes leave Facebook or MSN on in the background as well. Used to work great. Not sure why it's slowing down
I purchased a new computer with 64bit machine and windows 7, was very excited to get it. Now that excitement has turn to dispear.The system keeps crashing, for no good reason that I can see. I have limited experience with Windows, but have looked at the event viewer.I searched other sites for solutions, but not getting anywhere.I have the following ID crit and errors: 41, 6008 & 10010.At first I tried fixing the paging requirement, as the paging was set lower than the actual amount of RAM. I fixed that and that has not helped.
some of my programs like completly stoped working like go to play them and they worked before i my computer wouldnt come outta sleep mode and now the programs that were just apear with a program stop working/responding and just recently another program has started to say program has stopped working/responding and all i did was open it and just wondering if anyone got any ideas but mostly i am just gonna format if i cant fix it
I have this problem with a Packard Bell Desktop computer, It randomly crashes when doing startup, I dont know if its the motherboard, or the HDD. But it crashes after 4-5 min of driving, it starts up at BIOS Screen, with 3 beeps and then it goes to windows startup restore, and it cant startup windows either. So im trying at the moment to format the computer, but it gets the the "Windows Is Loading Files" At the second part of it, it gets half way in the loading, and it random turns off, and it keeps happending all the time, I dont know if its the HDD, or any Hardware Problem in the BIOS, or GPU
I've been getting random lockups for quite some time however here is the kicker,it ONLY happens with more than 4GB of RAM installed...anything less than 4GB I am perfectly fine but anything more my computer locks up totally randomly.Random bits of information: Tested all of my RAM sticks individually and in any combination I can think of,as long as the total is nothing more than 4GB I'm fine and dandy but soon as I hit 6,8,10(Due to what sticks I have I can only go up in multiples of 2GB) I get random lockups.Lockups can happen on desktop when I'm afk and the computer is completely idle,after 2 hours of intensive gaming killing splicers in Bioshock 2 or just while I'm transcoding a movie on the fly(This actually seems to be relatively safe,does not happen often)On the lockup whatever sound that was playing repeats(The last 0.2 seconds of it or something) so it sounds like BZZZZTTTTTT no matter whatNew motherboard,new PSU and hard drives passed a chkdisk recently(Albeit with some grumbling from them about bad sectors)SFC scan completed,no problems to report with my file integrity.PSU has plenty of power for the systemJust recently installed SP1(After the problem started) in an attempt to fix it,to no avail by the looks of the recent lockup and now I have no updates pending so windows is fully updated.
Obviously checkSUR ran with no problems before installing SP1Booting into an Ubuntu liveCD and running random stressy things for the computer does not produce the same effects,it runs perfectly fine.Computer temp is high but within an acceptable range most of the timeOnce it crashes/locks up once it sometimes does the same on boot again and again till I just leave the thing alone for an hour or two and try booting it up againEvent Viewer just shows this for each event when it locks up and I'm forced to reboot it manually:[CODE]
I suddenly get this BSOD on my laptop this morning . It was fine for 4 months . Then my little brother plays some games ( Torchlight 2 , some mini games from Popcap ) The laptop gets BSOD .
HoN or Steam games like mass effect, dead space etc will crash. Everything was working fine until I tried to upgrade my nvidia drivers to play BF3 and since then I can't figure out why it won't work. I can do everything else on my computer fine.Nothing else causes it to crash but playing games. I have ddr2 pc2-6400 patriot 4gb of ram, amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ socket am 2, nvidia geforce gtx 280
When i try restoring my win 7 (ultimate 32bit) by the system restore, it say's it was disabied for security reason. i re-enabled it, (with or without creating restore point), and after some days its disabled again.
been awhile since i been here but im back sadly and worried...So ima explain best i can what i did that maybe caused the BSOD. First off my cpu is OC but barely and no voltage changes and has been that way for 3 or so months. By default it runs at 3.8Ghz and i just OC it to 4.0Ghz and its been running that way fine for months and its made to be OC way more so i highly doubt its that. 2nd. I do have dameon tools and i see alot of ppl say that can cause it but again, its been on pc 4 ever and never had no issues with it and it rarely gets used but it still does get used here and there.3rd. I installed some codecs yesterday to try to get sony vegas to read a video and i probably installed 3 different codecs and some were named the same and it was the coded for a h264 or something like that, i already uninstalled that.
4th. No major changes have been made to pc, no recent windows updates, program installs or nothing has been done. Only thing i did most recently yesterday was upgraded a widget for reading GPU and its called GPU meter.5th. Finally and im scared this might be the issue is i noticed on sony vegas ( video editing program ) that it likes to max out all my cores and i noticed the temps reached 90-94 on my cpu which really scared me but ive only used this program twice but i was thinking maybe it was damaging my cpu but not sure.The last thing i was doing when it BSOD was i had a video uploading to facebook and firefox was open and a little dialoge box telling me how far video was done and apparently it got finished and i went to get drink and came back and BSOD was up and the pc didnt auto restart like it did before, had to force shutdown and restart.
Using preinstalled Win 7 Home Premium 64bit on an HP 6813w Pavilion. The original hard drive, a Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 1Tb crashed.1) System Recovery discs was made along with a System Recovery with System Image disc.2) A more current System Image was made on an external hard drive.The Hitachi was replaced with the same model. Checked bios to make sure it was installed correctly.Under System Recovery, Image Restore, Select a System Image Backup there is nothing in the table to choose from as far as a source (disc drive or external drive).A) System Recovery (3 discs) has the HP preinstall file folder on the 3rd disc but is not read by the System Recovery program.B) Under System Restore, Image Restore, Advanced, it asks for a network or driver to be installed. That opens up the directory of C: which is the external hard drive. Under WindowsImageBackup the computer name is identified followed by three entries:[CODE]It seems to me the Recovery and System Restore discs are not functional. Am not a technical person but I have taken this as far as I know how at this point.Printed out all the instructions from HP and Microsoft to follow step by step but the failed discs will not allow me to move forward.
I've gone through every BIOS, network card, and windows setting I can find any reference to over the last 48 hours, to no avail. I've mostly isolated the problem, just can't find anything that shows me how to fix it.
System Details:
Asus P5B-Deluxe w/ WiFi, Latest BIOS Update On-board Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Enabled and being used - latest Driver installed On-board Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Disabled and unplugged - latest Driver installed Intel Core2Duo E6800 2GB DDR2 RAM ATI Radeon HD3870
I've got the system setup so that the network card SHOULD only wake up the computer if it sees the "Pattern Match" packets which have supposedly been improved in Windows 7. Magic Packet just won't work for what I need, so I disabled that even for the sake of ruling out issues.
Issue: Any time ANY network traffic comes across the network card, the computer comes out of sleep, even though I'm quite sure they don't fit the "pattern match" that it's supposed to be looking for. I've done packet sniffing etc, and the card is behind a switch all by itself. I have proved this theory a number of ways, including disconnecting every other device on the network which allows the computer to stay asleep, but as soon as you turn another device on, this one wakes up.
my wifi is being extremely sporadic but its also forming a pattern of cutting in and out, but i dont think its staying "out" for long enough for my laptop to see it as such. i seriously can not even watch any Internet video without it buffering every second (this is at 240p). my speed is slow (180kbps) but still not slow enough to warrent my wifi craziness.
I got a new laptop, an LG A550, with an i5 and Geforce 640M two weeks ago things were running ok until yesterday, i was playing online and suddenly the flash game crashed. i thought it was a flash player problem, so i updated it, and problems began: not only stills with the game not loading, but also i had most web pages not loading properly. taking lots of time to load and when it happens it shows an text only creepy version of it that happens to facebook, kongragate and other sites i guess uses flash, but google and gmail and this forum works ok then i tried to update the java, but that bug makes me not be able to download that update.
I got mad and tried system restore. All attempts failed. Finally i tried to restore the whole system to factory conditions, to get rid of ALL softwares i had installed in this two weeks. when completed, guess what... the issue CONTINUES!
what should i do now? could be a problem with the files at the D partition? a hardware problem? or some rare hard time register bug?
X64 Windows 7 (full retail) The system is around 3.5yrs old. OS is around the same.
I have been getting quite sporadic and random BSOD's over the past few weeks. The last piece of hardware I installed was 2x2gb sticks of ram which I installed in November 2011.The only real other hardware/software I installed recently was a Logitech webcam, which I uninstalled yesterday but still received an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD this morning around ten minutes after powering up.I have received other BSOD errors such as :
I have the Blue Screen Viewer and all the errors point back to NTOSKRNL.exe with various addresses, so they don't tell me much.I have updated the drivers to everything I can think of. I have ran memtest for a long time on all four sticks and then each stick seperately and they passed without any issues.I also ran CHKDSK and that came back with no bad sectors etc.On certain BSOD or freezes, the pc will not want to boot back into Windows straight away. The fans power up, I can feel the HDD whirring, but I get no BEEP and no signal to the two screens I have.
A few days ago (8/6/2012) my system started experiencing hourly system crashes to the tee. No matter what I'm doing (gaming, skyping, browsing, idle) the OS siezes. Things I've done so far:
1) Reviewed event logs
2) Updated Motherboard & Video card drivers
3) Disabled all scheduled tasks
4) Reviewed memory.dmp (outdated - no new dumps)
5) Configured performance monitoring
6) Ran CCleaner
7) Disabled/Uninstalled unused applications
8) Watched process explorer around problematic time for any noticeble spikes. (none were found)
9) I've also ensured my antivirus has the latest definitions and ran a full scan. To be safe I also scan'd using trenmicro which came up empty.
By reviewing the event logs I learned that the crashes have been occurring every hour. A small sample shown below:
----------------------------------- Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Date: 8/8/2012 2:40:04 AM Event ID: 41
I had Windows 7 automatically downloading and installing critical updates. NO MORE!!! On 8/7/2012 a critical update was automatically downloaded and installed, unnoticed by me. When my computer would not turn on yesterday, 8/8/12 I tried many things, eventually restarting in Safe Mode - which did at least get me out of the black error screen and into windows. After poking around and testing things, I finally decided the only way to go was System Restore. There, I found there'd been an automatic critical update on 8/7/12. After restoring to before that point and turning off all automatic windows updates, my computer is now running fine.
I am helping a friend with her Windows 7 laptop which crashed this evening. Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot fix the problem. System Restore fails as well despite trying numerous restore points.The log show that a root cause was found:
Boot critical file C:CI.dll is corrupt
She has important personal data on this system so a fresh OS install is not an option yet.THis will be a good learning experience for me as I am looking into starting my own computer repair business. I'm not quite sure how to proceed with this. What should I do from here? Do I need to remove her HD and use a data recovery app on a separate system to recover her files, then reinstall Windows 7?
The kernel Power errors happen when ever I play a rather large game, such as Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Dead Rising 2, Assassins Creed Series, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. I've tried unplugging all my external devices such as, my headset, It worked for about two weeks, but then the errors started happening again. I had this computer custom built for gaming, It's not even a third full, And I want this to stop. I've updated all my drivers, Uninstalled tons of my games, just to get one working. The errors don't occur immediately once I run the game. It takes about 20 minutes more or less to stop. The computer doesn't freeze, or give any warning that it's about to happen. Just swiftly shuts off. I gave up for a while and tried to restore my system to factory settings. I can't restore it to factory settings, because I don't know where the disc is, and when I try to reset it by a restore point, the restore points are only for this month.
I installed the Brother Driver for my 8670 printer. I'm running Windows 7. My computer keeps restarting then giving me an error that Google Chrome crashed and all settings are lost. I now get a pertetual Windows Error Recovery screen?
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.

i was unable to create a restore point(or should i say the restore point which were created were all shown up with this following error earlier, Error message was: "System Restore" did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed."Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore (0xc0000022).Anyways,today as i was updating my display driver,while uninstalling the old display driver and installing the latest one,my system didn't accept the driver and thus my system went out of order(more preciously,as i uninstalled the whole catalyst control centre,every icon was appearing bigger and my display adapter was also deleted). now, coming back to the problem, when i tried to go back to a restre point ,i actaually managed to get all my previous settings back but after the completion of system restore that same message was again there which saidError message was: "System Restore" did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed."Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore (0xc0000022).Now,i am a bit confused to what actually happened as all my settings were back and the system was there in its previous setings but then why i got that error message?
i got a big problem with my cherry keyboard Cherry - eVolution SIRIUS XT Wireless MultiMedia Desktop
all hotkeys worked properly until my system crashed due to some OC. now all other keys work but hotkeys (play, mute, forward, backward, volume up, volume down, calculator, e-mail, home and sleep) which are all hotkeys my keyboard has. they were all global setted so i was able to skip tracks while musicplayer was in tray on default settings. i tried to reinstall windows plug&play-drivers
Mmy computer with windows 7 failed and will not reboot, I have an external hard drive set as a back-up. What do I need to do to put the backed up stuff in my new computer with windows 8 ?
I just had my newly installed Windows 7 32 bit system crash. Here is the error code from the event viewer. Can anyone tell me what I can do to resolve this error?Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
we just wanted to know how to report this problem of his where all of a sudden, he couldn't stream videos anymore without his laptop crashing.can i use the bsod reporting tool for this even though he doesn't encounter the bsod?he can view video files (with vlc for example), but when streaming videos like on Internet or dailymotion... his system freezes immediately as soon as the video loads and all he can do is restart.he's running windows 7 home basic 32-bit on a laptop with the following specs:cpu: intel(r) core(tm) i3 cpu m 370 @ 2.40ghzmobo: samsung electronics co., ltd. r439 bios: phoenix securecore(tm) nb version 03us.m004.20100605.leoram: total memory 2.00 gb usable 1.93 gbhdd: toshiba m3265gsxgpu: ati mobility radeon hd 545v audio: (1) ati high definition audio device (2) realtek high definition audio s: microsoft windows 7 home basic 32-bit 7601 multiprocessor free service pack 1
I have a C-media sound card (CMI8738/C3DX PCI audio device) that was running fine on XP. But since I changed to Windows 7, the sound became choppy and delayed when watching videos. I used the same driver that I used on XP, I tried updating but Windows 7 said its already up-to-date.
The worst part: I tried uninstalling the driver and my PC turned grayish white..one time I even saw pixels of my mouse on the corner screen, much like a distorted screen of some sort. Even disabling the device crashed the screen same as uninstalling it (like a BSoD). Now I can't change the driver.

Also, my MOBO had internal sound cards running previously on realtek that got busted after an internal short circuit...damn. Its undetected at the device manager.
I'm attempting to upgrade from 32-bit Vista Home Premium to Windows 7. I used the 32-bit disk to avoid having to do a full clean install, but every time (4 tries so far) that I've done it, it will get to the last portion of the upgrade where it transfers over all the old documents and programs. At that point the screen turns into a weird pattern of diagonal lines. Sometimes they are white and blue lines 1 inch thick, other times they are really thin lines. The machine is fairly new and high-end for a Vista machine, so the graphics card should be perfectly. I've run the Upgrade Advisor and it only mentions a couple software issues such as iTunes which I can't see as prohibiting the upgrade.
