I just ran a Chkdsk /r but nothing was found. I'm thinking it may be a memory error?

On: Acer Aspire 5750 laptop
For a couple months my computer has been locking up at random intervals for several seconds each time. I got no error messages and each time it came back acting fine, so I just assumed I had too much running. Now, I'm not so sure it wasn't the HD failing, because...
Last week, I noticed the shield on the shutdown button indicating windows needed to run an update. I closed out of everything and pushed the button to shutdown/install updates. The computer immediately crashed almost as if I had held down the power button. When I attempted to restart it, my only 2 options were to start normally or launch repair mode. Normal didn't work, so I launched repair. Repair ran for close to 4 days. In the first 36 hours it asked to be restarted twice, after that it just kept running until finally I gave up and shut it down with the power button.
Like a moron, I do not have a recent backup of my files and really wish they could still be saved.
Since then:Tried to rescue files with Umbutu boot stick- error said it could not mount to drive. Tried to launch safe mode with command prompt via F8- system went back into repair mode instead. Tried to launch to last known good configuration via F8- system went back to repair mode, again. Tried to launch via Windows Boot Disk- the screen it gave me was not the same screen as the screenshots on the forums suggested I should get. My screen was an Acer logo with 3 options, but only 2 I could chose and both promised to wipe my data. One was to repair windows and the other was to replace it. I chose neither in an effort to not loose my data. From other peoples screen shots it looks like this disk should give me many more options, including one for command prompt. Tried Windows boot disk again, disk would not load this time. Now I'm stuck! How can I check for HD failure if I can't get a command prompt or OS? It seems like everything I try goes right back into the same repair mode that ran for 4 days and did nothing good and forces me to shut down with power button despite how bad that is to do.
Last week I tried to install IE9 after some annoying pop-ups. The installation got interrupted somehow. I didn't care about that because I would never use that browser anyway.
Soon I realised I was not able to use Windows Live Messenger anylonger. After logging in, an error occurs: "Can't find ordinal 379 in DLL-files iertutil.dll" (translated from dutch, so it could be a little different in English). After this error, msn closes directly. I did some research and I read I could fix this problem by editing some internetoptions in the control panel. But when I click on internetoptions, nothing happens.
MSN isn't the only application giving this error. I experienced the same error in some other applications like paint.NET.
Also, I can't open VMWare anylonger. It runs in processes but on screen nothing happens. Skype closes directly after crashing, WOW won't start anylonger,... These are just some of the problems I experienced in the last 6 days.
I get this icon when I restart the PC but I have no idea what it is , can't point the curser at it while the page loads .

View 1 Replies View RelatedOK so sometimes my video card will display the video to the monitor when i boot up my pc but most times than not it will not display it.
If it dosn't then i have to reboot repeatedly until it does. I have already attempted to fix this issue by reseating my video card and that did not work at all.
This issue is really annoying and can take 10-15mins of time to get it to boot up.
Mysteriously, the audiodg.exe service seems not to run in the active processes as a result of which I could get sound. When I try to run the process through new task option , it loads up and immediately disappears.What do I do? Other audio services and everything seems fine. It used to run on same machine with the process on.

I have search several internet boards and have tried everything, so while searching the boards from another computer it finally went into the option for sytem restore or repair I hit system repair and it ran thru a few things and i neglected to copy down the results but i believe it said something about boot config error. hit repair I hit repair and it said to click finish and restart still nothing.
I'm setting up my system drive with 3 operating systems:
1) Windows 7 64 bit (for home use)
2) Win XP (for legacy programs)
3) Windows 7 64 bit (for work use)
...in that order on the hard drive. Rather than using Windows own boot manager, I'm using the open source GAG boot manager (which, like lots of third party boot managers, runs before any OS loads so you can pick which OS to run - and then hides the other OS's and their entire partitions until you reboot.) I've done this sort of thing with multiple WinXP loads before, no issues. In fact, this very hard disk used to have three WinXp loads on it (in position 1 and 3 above). I formatted those partitions and replaced them with the Win7 loads, which is when the problem started.Everything worked fine until I added the SECOND load of Win 7 (third on the hard drive, as above). It installs properly, but when I try to run it, it hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen (and the spinning windows logo just stays spinning infinitely).if I then immediately reboot and run the FIRST load of Windows 7 (which was hidden, worked fine before, and lives on its own separate partition), I get a screen right away saying a problem happened last time I ran it! Which isn't true - the problem happened when I just ran the SECOND load of Windows 7, not the first! Remember, these Win7 loads are totally separate. But for some reason, it thinks there was a problem. It even asks me if I want to enter repair mode. Spooky...Anyway, I do NOT choose to repair and instead just say "run normally". And everything then boots fine. (Of course!) And sure enough, if I shut down and simply choose to run that same first load of Win7 a second time, it again works with no problems reported. BUT... if I then proceed to run the SECOND load of Windows 7, it again hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen, and - you guessed it - if then try to run the FIRST copy of Win7, it will again report it had a problem last time it was loaded. Which starts the whole thing over again....

After I installed the drivers and rebooted the computer it would load to a black screen and stay black. I get a windows 7 logo and a progress bar and then the screen goes black right when it is supposed to go to a login screen. I decided to reinstall the operating system again and after the second install it worked fine until I installed the drivers for the graphics card.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have recently started having trouble booting Windows 7 on my fairly new Gateway PC. When I power on the computer it loads up to the Windows Desktop and the task bar appears like it normally does, but the computer keeps loading as if the desktop icons would pop up in just a few seconds, except they never do. I've let it sit and load for hours and nothing comes up. I can't click on the start menu and the Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work so I have no choice but to do a hard reboot with the power button, which I hate since it can't be good for the PC. Sometimes it does this multiple times in a row, and sometimes it starts right up and loads like normal with everything working.I have ran complete scans in both safe mode and running regular Windows to no avail. I used Avast, Mcafee, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in both modes. I don't run any of them at the same time, however and I will disable one while I run the other. I've been working hard to keep this computer safe so I don't download anything suspicious and I use it mainly for gaming.
Gateway DX4860-UR11P
Intel i7-2600 3.4Ghz
16GB DDR3 1600MHz Ram
2TB HDD
Nvidia GTX 580 3072MB
DVD-R/W
LG Blu-Ray BD-RW
I opened up my PC to move the front audio cable so that it wasn't sitting on the graphics card (was causing EM interference).When I tried to reboot, my computer now gets to the windows loading screen, then stops outputting video - so the monitor goes blank and eventually turns off. Windows continues to load in the background as I can hear the startup sound play.
Computer Setup:
Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
Gigabyte 670 GTX Factory OC GFX Card
4GB RAM (I think XMS2)
500GB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm HDD
Corsair 650W modular PSU
Linksys PCIE wireless card (can't remember model)
Things I have tried:
1) Booting into safe mode (works fine, can view the desktop etc.)
2) Booting into low resolution mode (doesn't work, same issue)
3) Booting into safe mode, un-installing the graphics card, booting into normal mode and reinstalling drivers for graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
4) Trying a different PCI-E slot (doesn't work, same issue)
5) Trying a different output on the graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
6) Hard CMOS reset (doesn't work, same issue)
7) Trying a different graphics card (even worse, didn't get any video out even at BIOS screen - can't guarantee card is working as I don't have a second machine to test with but it was working the last time I used it a couple of months ago. Second card was ATI rather than Nvidia so shouldn't be using same drivers).
Things I intend to try but haven't had time:
1) Plugging into a different monitor (heard some people mentioning it may be to do with the monitor drivers not reporting max screen settings properly, I could find any windows 7 x64 drivers for my monitor as its so old but I do have a TV I can test with)
Running Windows 7 o/s. Internet Explorer now loads a "Blank Page". Have removed several malware which highjacked IE. Used Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Revouninstaller programs. Believed to have cleaned Registry correctly.

This even happens if I log on as the system admin. My original profile loads fine but nothing else. I think It may be because the folder that holds all the basic information to make a new user profile has been deleted from my Users folder. Is there anyway of fixing this? Prohapps a place where I can download and replace that folder? I am using windows 7 ultimate 64bit. System restore has already been tried but the folder was deleted too far back to recover by that method.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been working on the problem for 2 days now and have gotten to various stages of working and not working. The issue at its worst will always BSOD when starting windows even using the various options. I have since then used the command prompt option form the install disc to run chkdsk and other repair options (fixmbr sfc /scannow) and am now able to boot into windows most of the time. Oh and sfc /scannow reports corruption but unable to fixI believe it is the work of some sort of malware but i have run updated versions of kaspersky and malwarebytes as well as rkill in an attempt to remove it but all report back that there is no malware. If that is the case then I feel like my drivers have been corrupted somehow and have replaced most of them but still get BSOD's but usually after I try to run a full security scan.
The only lead I have is the log file from sfc /scannow. Oh and most of my issues happened after running driver verifier so thats why I believe it is a corrupted driver and I recently believe that my Diablo 3 account was stolen by a keylogger but yet again using all the different security options that I have since downloaded found nothing including running avg with a linux disk at startup.Anyway Im sure i forgot to add stuff that I did but hopefuly we can figure it out i feel like my only uption is to do a repair install which i think I tried bu didnt work since my install drive is only 64GB and has 6 GB space left.
since about two weeks ago, every two times I power my laptop on, windows fails to load the my user profile and greets me with the temp user profile where I can't access my files and such. however, if I reboot after that it loads my user profile sucessfully. but if I reboot again It loads the temp profile. I scanned unsing My antivirus, and it turned up no bad results. I then tried a disk check, but it only was on for less then 5 seconds when it just said "the disk is clean." i'm not sure what to do now. any suggestions? it's really irritataing having to constantly reboot every time i turn my laptop on.
