Earlier this afternoon, my Toshiba laptop running windows 7 restarted itself without any prompting. Since then, I have not been able to start it in normal mode without it restarting itself of freezing either during the startup or just after. I can open it in safe mode with networking, but that is it.
Ive tried fixing the registry, Ive tried antivirus software, Ive tried system restores, and Ive tried running a clean boot. None of these have worked.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 with Windows 7 64bit. After starting up and entering the log in screen my computer freezes. I can access and work the computer through safe mode with no problems. I've checked the drivers and all are fine but one. The hdaudbus.sys is updated but will not startup. Is this what is stopping my computer from running in normal mode? Also, I have reformatted the hard drive and have also reset the computer back to factory setting.

it's been happening lately. my toshiba satellite(windows 7 home permium 64 bits) has been freezing up with multiple, thin, multi-colored lines with a noise similar to when a sound track on a cd sticks or freezes and no mouse response or any kind of response at all. i have to press and hold the power botton and force it to shut down. i noticed it does this more often when i try to play a video game,virus scan,video call on skype and less frequently on Internet (Internet might just be a coincidence). sometimes after the computer restarts and i virus scan or skype then i have no problems. i think it happens when i virus scan or skype when i have both multiple firefox and google chrome windows open at once but i cannot be sure. i've tested the theory a few times but it's inconclusive however i am confident that virus scans or video game are most likely to trigger the freeze even if they are the only thing i have open on the screen.
sometimes i get that message in the blue box that says "windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your computer....." the strange thing is that after i force it to shut down if i try to restart it immidiately then it will boot. all the lights will come on except the orange one in the left hand corner,the screen does not come on and windows does not load. if i leave it for 30 minutes or sometimes less after it crashed then it will restart .the funny thing is that i had this problems about 8 months ago when i tried playing a video game called a.v.a. about 2 minutes into play it would freeze with the same noise i mentioned earlier.i repeatedly tried to play the game and it happened every single time and everytime i force shut down the laptop and try to restart it right after then windows will not load and the orange light does not come on. i removed the game and reinstalled it and i never had that problem again.since i got the laptop it has randomly restarted like 4 times and i've had it for about 1 year and 2 months but now it is just freezing up (mostly) or i get that message in the blue box. at around april of this year the game stopped working. i keep getting error reports when i try to reinstall it and my windows no longer recongnized the digital signature of the company that made the game.
i'm not sure if it's overheating,i have a hard drive or motherboard problem or if it's a software problem. i've tried:
system restore
defrag
disc clean up
non of these have helped. i've also tried using seatool for windows to try to look for errors in my hard drive and it has not found any. i've also done that thing where windows,with the black screen and white text, check through your files for errors and corrupted stuff but that report says that it hasn't found any errors at all. my computer has no slow down in performance that i can notice. it doesn't take long to start up nor does it take long to shut down. i don't get random error reports or anything like that. it works fine except for the freezing bit.
the fan seems to be working just fine and the latop doesn't get that hot. sometimes it freezes when it's barely warm to the touch and other times it would be significantly warmer but it would not freeze even if i have multiple firefox and googlechrome windows open. before all of this when my game was working i use to play for hours with the exhaust at the side significantly heating up the desk and the computer would run perfectly without problems except that brief period i mentioned earlier where the game froze 3 minutes in to actually playing the game,reinstalled it and solved the problem. yesterday it froze on me while i was on skpye and today it froze on me about 5 minutes after windows log in on Internet without the computer getting hot,just barely warm. i just don't get it!
i've try using a vaccum to clean the vents without opening the computer. i've removed and reinserted my memory just incase they were loose and i've also removed and reinserted the hard drive to be sure that it was in properly and that has not stopped the problem either.n.b. i did do a virus scan with a trial version of kaspersky pure that i installed less than a month ago and it does say that i have a virus called "virus heur trojan.script.iframer" and a medium and high risk events. i've tried to remove or quarantine them but nothing happens and when i scan again with kaspersky pure or kaspersky virus removal tool they find no viruses but the trojan report is still there with the option of removing and quanrantine.
as i've said before i've seen no slow down in performance and it works just fine except for the freezing and the blue box message. the only noticeable problem is that both firefox and googlechrome have been just a little,little bit buggy in that sometimes i would have to close down a window and reopen it again because the pages were not loading but that's only on facebook and a few other websites and i thnk that's because of my internet connection. i've noticed that firefox is a little bit slower than usual but that's it. as i said, i've gotten no random error reports,not from windows 7 or my browser.
recently my computer has been acting a bit odd. When I turn it on it starts up like normal, I input my password and it starts loading everything. But once everything is loaded at the start up the taskbar freezes and so does the rest of the desktop. I can move my mouse but it does nothing and I'm not able to open the taskmanager at all with ctrl+alt+del. The computer runs fine in safe mode. I've already gone through and cleaned up my system, fixed any registry problems, and defragged my hdd. I've scanned for any malware and came up with nothing. I've disabled all non-necessary programs in msconfig for startup. I've been able to do a system restore to about a week ago, and that would fix the problem for a bit, but it would happen again if the computer went into sleep mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had issues with this thing for awhile but for the sake of the forum I'l stick to my current issue.Upon startup, everything works fine. I put in my login password and Windows begins to load. While Windows is loading it just reezes. The only thing I can say is it freezes after most of the applications load but it's still searching for networks. Straight freezenothing works. However, and this was weird, out of the 4 or 5 times it froze last night, one of the times I was still able to move the mouse. Nothing else worked though.My drivers should be up to date. I do check them and update them as needed.I do regular checks for viruses and spyware. I use free programs that are updated regularly.I "clean up" my system on somewhat regular basis.I defragment the hard drive on a somewhat regular basis.I clean my registry regularly.I deleted the programs that start up with the computer that I don't need. Winamp, my spyware scanner, and this clean-your-PC program I downloaded (see below) no result I recently got suckered into one of those clean your PC programs that cost like 20 bucks. That's the only major program I've downloaded recently. I did a system restore to before I downloaded that and the same problem occurred.The computer works fine in safe mode. Even "with networking" it connects to the internet just fine.I did just realize I didn't do a virus scan in safe mode last night, I'll do that when I get home tonight. But if you guys know a good free virus scanner to use let me know, otherwise I'll follow up if the virus scan fixes it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem with my Windows 7. When I restart it, it will 90% of the time freeze right after startup (from 30 seconds to 5 minutes after startup). The cursor just won't move and everything on the screen is still and I have to reboot to get it back working. Unless it freezes again (which it does most of the time). I have to try about 10 to 15 times each time I restart my computer to get it working, and it seems to be completely random. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and I don't think this is a hardware issue because my laptop is running linux (ubuntu) flawlessly.
As for my config:
ASUS N61JQ Laptop :
intel core i7 1.6 ghz
ATI mobility radeo HD 5730
4gb ddr ram
320 gb hard drive 7200 rpm
I also have an external hard drive of 1 TB that's connected to my laptop.
I'm having issues with W7 freezing soon after startup. It works fine for 5 min TOPS and the next second I know, it's frozen and I get the busy icon (like a circle) in place of my mouse pointer. Then if I wait a few more minutes, I get the pictures below(in that order). I'm not the only one to use the computer so did someone else mess something up?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows is currently freezing up after startup. This started after receiving a blue screen during one startup. On the next startup, there was a small dialogue box; I opted not to restore the computer to a previous state.
Now, Windows loads normally, but generally the first action taken freezes the computer (mouse will move, but that's it). I have managed open a text file, and even updated Adobe Reader from the tray. I also opened Task Manager from right-click on the bottom bar. Trying to end a process, create a text file, or open Explorer, Firefox, or any other program I've tried causes a freeze up. Safe Mode seems to work fine.

Have a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 than began freezing yesterday. Laptop less than 2 months old. Had to do a hard shutdown, then ran a system restore back to about 2 weeks ago, and a Malwarebytes scan. Still having the issue. Computer runs without issue apparently in safe mode (which I am running now).
View 2 Replies View Relatedabout a week or two ago i posted on the virus and malware removal forums and followed all the steps i was given and afterwards my computer stopped freezing and started up normally again. now it has started again, although no blue screens like before, and im wondering if its something else... I use norton i dont know if that could be it? I was wondering because if its not causing it then ill have removed it for no reason... it seems like it was for some other people though

Having a bit of a nightmare troubleshooting a problem with my Acer Aspire Desktop.Sometimes it freezes after start up. maybe about 2 mins after logging in. Yesterday it freezed at the bios screen where I can choose safe mode, safe mode with networking etc.Sometimes the monitor has a 'no signal' message on it and I have to reboot to get it back working.I am running out of ideas of how to fix the problem, as sometimes it does not crash at all and I have absolutely no problems I have run windows ram diagnostic I have downloaded and run a cpu test with a diagnostic from Intel's website.I have done a hard drive test, I did a scannow for to check if there were any problems with system files I ran Ccleaner,I did a full scan with kaspersky and malwarebytes. Malwarebytes did show up 3 malware I downloaded combofix and turned off everything and did a scan with that. I ran Microsoft fix it - and that said my recycle bin was corrupt so it fixed it. I made sure all my drivers were up to date and I ran a windows update. I have a lot of errors with event viewer but have absolutely no idea to do use it. Sometimes the computer works no problem. Had no problems Monday. But yesterday it froze straight away after turning it on, and again at the safe mode, safe mode networking and last known good configuration screen. I started it is safe mode Then I started it normally and it worked fine again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently built a new pc and I'm having some issues with Windows 7 which seems to freeze on start up. By this I mean at the "Starting Windows" screen the animation will start but will freeze after a couple of seconds. It usually takes me about 3 restarts to then get into windows. I haven't been using Windows Repair tool because the restore deletes all of the programmes that I've put on and the crashing continues to happen despite the changes. I'll list my specs below:

8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue (Overflow Drive)
I don't think the SSD is the problem because when I did the install on the WD HDD I still had the instability and the crashes.The drivers I have installed are: Realtek LAN drivers, Nvidia 500 series Graphics, Nvidia HD Audio and all of the "Important" Windows 7 updates.
Ever since the latest update to AMD Catalyst a week or so ago, when I start up my computer from being completely off, something strange happens. After a few seconds, the AMD Core Line still has not started up, the cursor freezes, and the keyboard are all non responsive. If the cursor had the "working in the background" blue spinner, that freezes and no longer animates.I have tried reinstalling AMD Core Line and checked its settings. Didn't find anything useful. I say "tried," cuz I was unable to successfully uninstall it, it was left in an unusable state, but then I did successfully reinstall it.

View 8 Replies View RelatedJust put together a brand new computer, Windows installed fine (running x64 bit Ultimate),everything loaded up fine the first time. Then I installed the driver and utility for my network card, and everything seemed fine til I got an internet connection, at which point it froze, and the only fix is a restart. Now every time it boots it freezes, sometimes within 10 seconds of starting, sometimes it doesn't make it past the "Welcome" screen and it'll just freeze.

My laptop recently shutdown due to no power, when I restarted i was able to get to the main screen, but then i couldn't go any further...kept getting the infinite twirling circle.

u have a problem with my built computer. My computer keep freezing up at random spot, most of the time at the startup. I can boot into safe mode and the recovery CD sometime if it doesn't freezes up half way. Sometime the computer would work fine for a day and next day it just go berserk.

My Windows 7 account has started freezing not long after startup. It works in safe mode. My virus checker has failed so I can not do a virus check. In safe mode I can not re-install a virus checker. I have run the Ashampoo register checker and corrected all the faults. bar reinstalling the operating system which was an upgrade from Vista I am not sure what to do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA week ago I started my computer and instead of booting up normally, the Disk Read Error (Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart) screen came up and when I restarted, it would just repeat. I used the Win 7 on my SD card to do a repair and it fixed the problem, but the same thing happened again the next day and the fix didn't work. After that I just gave up and wiped my drive, did a fresh install of Win7. Today I turned on my computer and the same error came up. I restarted and it got to the Starting Windows screen, but it just freezes there. At first I thought the OS was corrupt, but this time the error came up within a week...I'm not sure what the problem is. :S My SSD could be the culprit, but I want to make sure that it's not something else causing this to happen before I go out and buy a new SSD. EDIT: The Windows Repair screen won't come up unless I turn off the computer and switch off the PSU, wait for the light on the motherboard to go off, and switch PSU back on. If I don't switch off the PSU, the Windows Repair screen will never appear and it will just continuously say, "Disk Read Error".

I am trying to completely wipe this laptop off and start fresh. The recovery partition has been removed as part of my search for a resolution for the problem. When I try to install windows 7 on this machine I start by selecting to format the entire hard drive. It completes this and then starts the installation of windows 7. It take a very long time for windows to unpack the files and copy them to disc. After about an hour and a half it starts asking me for the User name/location/time settings, etc.
After that it reboots to startup windows for the first time. It immediately tells me that windows cannot start and startup repair will need to be run or I can select to ignore this and try to start normally. Either option yields no improvement. After working with each of those options I just decided to reformat the drive and start the install again. Even after the drive was wiped and fully formatted I get the same error once the windows installation finishes.

When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.
Computer is currently suffering from persistent freezing and bluescreens. It seems to happen almost randomly, and usually very soon after startup and loading of Windows. System restore has not helped.'fraid that's all the info I can give right now. Any recommendations? If anyone wants me to run hijackthis or dxdiag and post results I'd be more than happy to (assuming I can get that far before it freezes!). Safe mode does work, and the problem does not occur while in safe mode.
