System Suddenly Stops Working And Shuts Prints Spool Down
Aug 16, 2011
Printer directly connected to the system suddenly stops working and shuts the print spool down? I go to restart the spool, print the test page and BAM! print spool has been stopped. At first thought it was a possible infection but I can't find one. Performed a sys restore and it worked only to have a windows critical update start it all over again.....
I have DELL INSPIRON 15R series laptop with WINDOW 7.Hardware:i3 Proc320GB4GB DDR3 RAM.Problem: MY CPU meter unncessarily shoots upto 100 and system shuts down nstances:1. Twice, When I was on video conference with 3 of my friends (Google Plus Hang Out - Google Chrome browser)2. When I tried to Mix audio and Video in Windows Live Movie Maker3. I use a Software called Fruity Loops for Music Programming. I had created a project 4 months ago with this software. It worked fine then. The CPU consumption to play my program live was Nominal.I opened the same project a couple of weeks ago, and the project wouldnt even play.It drags... CPU shoots up and system shuts downI removed all the unncessary programs that I had installed on my machine. I still face the problem.The problem first occured, when I used Adobe Audition to remove noise from a recording.
Suddenly internet has stopped working on my system Dell inspiron N5010. I tried installing Lan drivers for the above series but still its not workling.
This has happened several times over the past couple days. I will be playing DC Universe Online and my Windows 7 x64 PC simply and abruptly shuts down. Not blue screen, nothing just power off. I have had the system for years and never seen this happen under other circumstances.

I have had the system for years and never seen this happen under other circumstances. I don't know how to figure this out at all. I don't know where to look and I don't even know if it is a hardware or software problem.
Hope someone can help me figure this issue out. Recently began having issues with my Globetrotter USB Mobile Internet device from ATT. ATT has been eliminated as the issue, and I am now pretty sure it is a Windows 7 issue.The device works for a while and then suddenly stops, and then I get a code that says it can perform better in a different port, or it says that USB device is not recognized, or I get the Code 43, Windows has disabled the device.I "tricked" it by trying to use a different flash drive device and it worked, I was then able to activate the Globetrotter and it worked for a little while, then stopped again.
I think that Windows might be disabling my sound device during gaming because it thinks it is idle. I don't know if this is the exact reason but after much testing have come to this conclusion.
Anyway, the problem is that while playing some games (for example Borderlands, Civ 5) the sound will be fine but after a while playing the sound will cut off completely. It seems to occur when I am playing a game for more than an hour although I can't be very specific. If I exit the game and try to play an MP3 etc in WMP then the program just behaves like it's trying to do something in the background and won't actually play the file. There are no system sounds or any other sound at all.
This doesn't happen in all games, for example, when I play Audiosurf then the sound plays as normal no matter how long I play. This is why I think it may be a Windows issue thinking my sound card is idle and then turning it off because when I play Audiosurf, the game plays my MP3 files and so presumably Windows knows my sound card is in use but when I play any other game that just uses the game's own sound files/effects, then Windows isn't recognising this and after a certain period of time is then disabling my sound card.
Does anyone know of a solution for this or has come across something similar? I have an external sound card that is connected via USB (Line 6 Toneport UX2). Let me know if you require any more system specs, oh I'm using Win 7 HP 64bit btw.

Please can someone help me with this as it's driving me mad and when gaming online and chatting to my friend through Skype, the sound will suddenly just go off. While he can still hear me talking into the mic, I can't hear him or the game's sounds/music and he has to resort to typing me messages in-game.
after surfing the net. watching videos from Internet, my computer suddenly shuts itself off. after rebooting my computer. the folder icon became corrupted and i can't seem to delete it. it gives the message ' windows is not responding '. after restarting the computer once again, the folder becomes accessible again but the file icon is still corrupted. i tried changing and restoring the icon but neither seem to work.
Before a week i upgrade my hdd from 300Gb to a newer at 500Gb and i add a 4 GB RAM , now totally i have 6GB Ram I install Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit I install all drivers properly but i have a problem , when i download files after some minutes the internet connection stop , windows responds slowly , and when i press the restart button from windows start menu takes much time to logout from logon page
I don't know what caused this; the sounds(in my headset) suddenly stop then resume again. I'm sure that it isn't caused by lag or other internet related issues, I'm using the same headset after my computer has been replaced entirely and my past OS is WinXP. But my speaker works fine and doesn't encounter that problem, I also used that in my past WinXP pc.
I have recently adquired a new Dell laptop with Core 2 processor and Windows 7 Home Edition (64 bits) installed from factory. I have this problem: I can not add any printer to the system, because when I try to do it the following message: "Windows can not open Add printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Restart the administrator or the system". Trying to being smart and not to bother you guys with an already known way to solve the problem I have search a lot of forum in where I found a lot of persons with the exactly same problem. The solutions that other persons gave to the problem does NOT work in my case. I mention here the principal ones: Use "Fix it" tool from Microsoft, Does not work, the tool can not restart the printer spooler service. Go to the Control Panel -> Services ( or, equivalent, Execute: service.msc) and check that Spooler Service is running, if it is not: make it start and check Automatically?
I could be on my computer for hours at a time and after approximately 6 hours of being logged in, my internet browser just stops working. When I try going to a web page, it doesn't even try to load. It gives a very quick blink to the icon on the tab but that's it. I'm not receiving any windows errors. The way that I've been working around this problem has been to log off(or shut it down) then log back on, then I have a few more hours before it does it again. When the browser stops working, "bittorrent" still runs (a program that needs internet access). This isn't a recent problem that I'm having. This has been going on for almost a year now.I'm running Windows7.
I have Windows 7. I am using IE 8. My browser will stop working. I do a restart and it will work good for awhile. Then I have do do the same thing about every 5 Min.
I just bought a brand new Dell Optiplex 390 running windows 7 64bit.I plugged in an external USB hub with 3 devices attached (2 cameras and 1 stepper motor controller).At first the computer recognized the three devices and I can communicate with them just fine. After a few minutes, they stop working and the generic USB hub gets this error: This device cannot start. (Code 10)I tried uninstalling the device, I tried updating the drivers (sais drivers are current), nothing works.This hub works fine on windows XP.
I've got winsows 7 x 64, and I am trying to install MSI drivers to my motherboard, but even if I download from their home page, and it is compatible with windows 7 I'll got the message that setup.exe stops working. What should I do? I feel that my PC is slower because it needs these drivers I suppose. And there are 2 unknow devices in the Device Manager
I just bought my laptop, a new toshiba satellite with windows 7 and 64 bit, i tried to install assasins creed 3, but gave me error about "feature transfer error component sound_sfx filedata2.cab error data error (cyclic redundancy check)", i thought it was a game error, but then i realized my dvd reader stops working, i tried to copy the files from the dvd and it stoped working after a while also (it happened with abother DVD too when tried to copy the file to my computer). So i was wondering what can i do
whenever i open internet explorer 64 bit, a message immediately pops up saying something to the effect of "internet explorer has stopped working. windows is looking for a solution .. blah blah blah" whether i wait for it to tell me to close ie or immediately try to close the message, it just pops up over and over again, making the only way to actually quit ie to go into task manager and end the process (i'm not sure if this is relevant, but when i do that, there are two "iexplore" processes, and only ending the second one (when they're in alphabetical order) actually turns off ie). the program launched from the menu item "internet explorer", which i assume is 32 bit ie, works just fine, as does the no add-ons mode. i have also seen several people asking questions about ie 9 64 bit stopping working on Internet and related sites because of issues with 64 bit flash or the lack thereof. this is not that problem - it freezes immediately upon the start of the program. also, i have just upgraded to service pack 1, but the problem existed before that (i was actually hoping sp1 might fix it, but no luck). i have also uninstalled updates to ie and then re updated to 9, but that didn't help either. (also it is really annoying that that's the closest you're allowed to get to uninstalling ie completely. i would feel much better if i could just exorcise the whole thing and start fresh, but no dice).
unrelated problem: i cannot get the below text about languages to go away. i didn't put it in myself, it appeared when i clicked "preview post". i've deleted it from the text box several times now, but it always reappears when i click preview post.afrikaansalbanianarabicarmenianazerbaijanibasquebelarusianbulgariancatalanchinese (simplified)chinese (traditional)croatianczechdanishdetect languagedutchenglishestonianfilipinofinnishfrenchgaliciangeorgiangermangreekhaitian
It used to happen occasionally. Lately IE8 stops working several times a day. I see no rhyme or reason as to why. No changes to the program or computer AFAIK. I'd rather not install IE9.
I have windows7 installed on my laptop and any time i log off my system or just keep it idle for sometime it logs off and the keybaord starts behaving differently.Like when i press the j key it reads it as 1when i press f it reads it 4 and so on.
sadly my SD card stops working from my HP computer,i updated the drivers but still is not working,when i put my SD card on it i see lights but my computer is not detecting it,
For the past couple of days my keyboard starts to go crazy after about 2 hours worth of use. It will not let me type. And, if I hit a letter it will do something else that it shouldn't. For instance, if I hit the "letter" key it opens the file/save as.
I read a very old post here and tried to do what that said. I changed my batteries, cleaned the keyboard, and even used a different keyboard that isn't wireless. The very same thing happens no matter which keyboard I use.
Sometimes if I wait a few minutes and reboot it is fine again (like right now). This just started happening.
I currently bought this Adata USB 3.0, I loved it, and then about 2 days it just stopped working. I own a mac and a pc and tried using it on both of them, no luck. It seems to recognize the USB but it does not show up on "my computer", which is really weird.
in past I did have this problem with Windows 7, and now that I came back (was on XP Sp3), they annoying me again.I have a DELL Vostro 1510. Sometimes, after I turn on the computer and it loads my desktop, the keyboard doesn't work. The weird thing is that the media keys are working fine all the time, however all the letters, caps lock, num lock, F1-F12... well, every single key simply doesn't respond.So I go and check it on the "device manager", and it shows I have a keyboard installed. I scan for hardware changes... and no changes detected... The driver is there, the hardware is perfect (I never had these issues while on XP, and I was with 7 on past, did have these problems, then did migrate to XP, and now back to 7 and having it again).
I know how to solve it... I simply need to go to the device manager, click on uninstall and then "scan hardware for changes" and it comes back to life. If that doesn't work, just need to reboot and Windows 7 install the driver for me (after uninstalling it, of course).The annoying thing is that I don't want to do those steps... I want it to keep always working... And this is just not normal, so for sure there is some cause.DELL doesn't offer drivers for notebook keyboard on their website, at least not for my model, because it's simply a default one... So the default driver should handle it.
i boot the computer, open chrome and start browsing. after a minute (maybe even less) the browser just stops loading web pages, and doesn't pop any errors or messages. the signal exists but it simply won't load. the internet on the other computers works fine. im not sure about this, but i think that it continued loading a Internet video after it stopped working, but wouldn't open any other pages at all. please help me fix this, i'm running 64 bit version of windows 7.
edit: after rebooting it again works for a minute or so and then stops.
