Unstable Flickering Cursor / Pointer
Jan 15, 2013
I have just managed to get myself another Acer netbook running windows 7 starter and everything is virtually fresh and new...I bought it second hand (I know,I know but I`m skint !) although it is pristine condition and running nice and fast etc...however,the cursor/pointer at times jumps all over the place and flickers etc for around 10-20 seconds before becoming ok...but it has happened quite a bit...it has had the memory upped to 2gb ram by the previous owner...aside form that it is free of any junk software etc.

i only just bought a used Acer netbook that is running thet starter win 7...all was working fine for around 5 hours and since then every now and again and for between just a few seconds to having to shut the machine down and restart,the pointer is unstable and jumps to buggery all over the screen...there also appears to be some interference with the touchpad as it is ultra sensitive and the left and right buttons are also dodgy...I have used Acer netbooks before and never had any problems at all...I have seen many threads related to this as soon as I looked it up and am wondering if the is any sort of fix available...I have just found the synaptics box in my netbook and twindled around a little and so far it seems better but this is just how things have been since I got this Acer just 4 days ago.

So a few days ago my cursor started lagging. Everything else run normally - it's just the cursor. Occasionally it goes smooth again, but then returns to lag-ville after a while.I've ran NOD32 antivirus scans,cleaned my registries with CCleaner,ran Spybot,tried reinstalling/ updating mouse and display drivers. Still nothing.
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.4

While I'm typing text into any program (email, Word, etc), the cursor will auto-move to wherever the mouse pointer would be (sort of like the setting is on that does auto-select/click when it sits on something). I then end up typing into a completely different part of the message/document and it's SO frustrating. There's no rhyme or reason to when it occurs, at least not that I can figure out.
It's nothing to do with my mouse/drivers - it happens with both my trackpad and my USB mouse.

I have found a pointer that I want to use in my Windows 7 environment, it is the airplane pointer used in Secret Weapons Over Normandy. Can anyone tell me how I go about this? It appears the cursor file in the game folder is a .bin file without a picture while windows cursor fies are .cur and have a picture in the file listing.

i purchased windows vista that came with a windows 7 pro upgrade coupon so i could have an os for the time being and upgrade to 7 later. upon receiving my 7 upgrade i have had great performance increases in both games and applications but there was a problem, every time i game (and now its just started happening when im not gaming as well) i have had sporadic blue screen problems. all relating to the Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power (in event viewer it is categorized as error 41). the thing is this just started happening right after i used the upgrade disc to upgrade from vista business x64 to 7 pro x64.
i have done the following troubleshooting steps, i have replaced the bridge on my SLI setup, i have checked the power supply connections inside my pc, i have looked and preformed all available driver updates. if anyone has any suggestions as to why i am having these issues with the Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power.

[code] My computer is unstable and BSODs at random, with error messages such as 'MEMORY_MANAGEMENT' and 'IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'. I posted my problem on another forum (SevenForums) and had someone helping me but they seem to have dissapeared and my problem has not. url...If you don't mind please read up until page 2 as that is my latest errors (posted today). If you would rather me post my problem here direct I will. If you can see the attachments to my posts the dumps are also on that website, but once again I will post everything here if requested. I just see linking you to things I've already tried the best option rather than me try to explain everything again .
It has been going on for a while now, I have tried everything I can think of to no avail.I get Blue Screens out of the blue from anywhere, i can be idle to playing a game to the computer just getting into windows. On the link above I've tried many things, inluding memtest, driver verifyer, chkdisk, uninstalling norton (he said that could be the problem), system repair, a complete re-install of windows 7, updating all my drivers. To most recently cutting back to 4GB ram and making the timings and voltages to the correct setting instead of being on 'auto' in my bios, and it still BSODing. I have also ran 'prime95' on a blend test, and had errors on core #4:

Today while playing league of legends on my typically stable pc my screen went black and it froze. When I restarted my computer it would not start windows 75% of the time, and when it did finally start up it would work for about an hour then freeze again. It seemed to me like a system overheat because I don't have any new hardware and it is pretty hot here, but my temps on my cores are around 50 celcius and my gpu is around 60.I have a mostly prebuilt and quad core 2.2 ghz with a new psu (corsair 750 tx) gpu (6950 2gb) and case (mid to full sized).

I have been trying to fix these BSODS for a while, and have been told it is a wireless adaptor driver causing the problem. However I have uninstalled and updated that driver, and whilst crashes are less frequent they still occur. Also games which were previously very stable now crash/freeze every time. Fixes I've tried:
Running anti virus (AVG)
Running a registry cleaner
Running a Malware cleaner
Replacing old RAM with newer and more RAM.
Removing Daemon tools
Cleaning the inside of the case, (graphics card is not overheating) Uninstalling and updating wireless adaptor drivers Uninstalling and updating graphics card drivers. The usual system restores/CHKDSK etc. I've attached files as per the forum's BSOD rules. Below is my system, it is about 4 years old and originally came with Vista, which was upgraded with windows 7.

To start off, I would like to explain the situation the laptop was in when I received it from my sister and what she informed me of how it happened. The laptop has only one hard drive, it is running one partition of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.The computer froze while she was listening to music, the hard drive activity was halted, music was stuttering, she forced shutdown after ten minutes of no response. The computer then noted the inability to boot after the POST was initiated. A screen appeared noting Windows 7 needed to run a start-up repair before beginning (Running the start-up repair ended with a long boot time and eventually hanging up with a black screen with an enlarged cursor that could be moved, no further progress. The second option to start with the last settings for boot resulted in the same result as the first. What I did to fix this problem, I tried using safe-mode to see if the problem was driver based or software based, as my sister noted she did not install or tamper with any software before the problem, I was unsure of how to proceed. All attempts of booting into the various safe-mode protocols resulted in the computer hanging on loading CLASSPNP.SYS, then after a minute it would result in a BSOD with 'unable to mount boot volume'. The Windows 7 recovery disc lead to the same result of trying to do the repair or booting up normally, hanging with the large cursor in the middle. I eventually decided to load up some utilities and used a Gateway (The computer brand) hard drive scanner to attempt to fix the problem, this worked, miraculously. After this fixed the problem I was able to boot normally the first time, yet it ran startup repair, and fixed a few errors before booting. The system as it stands now,The system boots up in normal time without any errors. Safe mode still hangs and blue screens after stopping at loading CLASSPNP.SYS. I hoped to run chkdsk and sfc through the command prompt to try and see if it could fix this problem, yet both hang before running. 'sfc /scannow' through the command prompt gives the result 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'. 'chkdsk /r' through the command prompt runs at the next boot and gives an error along the lines of 'Windows can not run chkdsk due to a recent software change' and then proceeds to boot up without doing the scan. I've cleaned the system of malware using various tools to see if this was the problem, yet it does not seem to make a difference. I have attempted to replace the 'CLASSPNP.SYS' with a working copy off of my computer, yet it results in the same situation. Running start-up repair with the Windows 7 recovery disc does not work and says it is unable to proceed now, strangely.I am wondering if doing an upgrade to the same copy of Windows 7 will allow me to have a clean boot record and hopefully fix the problem. It creates a 'Windows.old'; this should be fine for the current situation, right? My sister plays various games such as the Sims 3 and a few others, and has 40GB+ of music on here that she does not want to lose. Will performing an upgrade(if possible in this situation?) keep the music, and actual application folders that could be run on the upgraded system? If not, I could scrounge up a hard drive to create a backup of the music and the game save files, but it would be annoying to have to install all of the game over again.

I have this problem with my laptop. If i am using a cable to connect to the internet and then unplug it and switch to wireless connection, the internet connection gets unstable. The thing is it says it is connected to the right wireless connection AND it claims to have internet connection. - And i do - for a few minutes.. If i deactivate/activate the wireless internet i am able to surf around for a few minutes again, but then it does the same thing again - shows up as having internet connection but im unable to connect to it..Strangest thing is that i am sometimes able to connect to the internet ONLY if another computer is using the wireless internet too.. It still shows up as recieving a nice signal with internet access even though i cant connect to the internet.
The same problem also occurs sometimes when im switching from one wireless connection (at home etc) to another (work etc)..I've had this problem for a few months now.. Comming to think of it i might have had this problem ever since i got my laptop.. Rebooting my computer fixes it every time, but it's not a permanent solution.. Im running original Windows 7 Home Premium x64 which came with the laptop.. Also im not using static ip or anything like that - switching to static ip doesn't do the trick.. Running ipconfig /all command from cmd also shows me as connected to the right router.. The problem occurs every time i switch between cable and wireless and not only at my home or work but also at friends..I'm not sure if i need to leave any more details, if i've left anything out just let me know.

I have had my computer for 3 years and it has worked great, i got a new router bout 4 months ago and it works great. about 2 weeks ago my desktop's connection which is wired, basically stopped working. It lets me get online, but the connection either keeps dropping or just doesnt work. Ive watched my connection and it will disconnect alot and instantly reconnect. I can get online but my page takes half a minute to load, and sometimes it just wont load and say it cannot connect to the web page. I have tried google chrome and media firefox and they dont work either. I have reset modem and router many times and that didnt help even a bit. I have switched routers and that didnt help either. In networking safe mode, my connection is completely stable and it runs fast and loads everything. I have ran norton and malawarebytes many times and my connection is still unstable. I have stwitched ethernet cords too and that didnt help either. I have two labtops and a ps3 and their connection works completely fine so it would just be my computer. Since it runs great in networking mode, it might be hardware but i dont know what. It might not be hardware though because i am nowhere near a computer knowledgable.

I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop (far beyond the requirements). Before the installation, I was running Windows XP. I am currently attempting to play Warcraft III but the screen flickers every 15 seconds. The game has been reinstalled successfully, including appropriate updates, screen resolution, and refresh rate.
Nothing fixes the flickering and it is a little annoying. Can anyone help me out or suggest some possible solutions?

Microsoft WIN 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
Intel(R) Processor
McAfee Virus Protector (running)...
3 days ago, I started getting these 'flickering' pop ups at the top left hand corner of my screen. Some are whole ads and others are just bits and pieces like a 'puzzle'. They are non-stop and especially when I am on my AOL 'Welcome/home page'. I can hardly read what is displayed on my left screen.

I have always used an external monitor when using windows vista and now that i have upgraded to windows 7 when i plug in my external monitor it flashes on and off. I have changed the refresh rate on the monitor and all it does is change how fast the external monitor flashes. Also, I had this problem when using windows vista and I changed a setting in windows task scheduler and it fixed it. Tried doing the same thing in 7 and the problem is still there. In addition, I tried using a different monitor cable and the problem is still there.

I experienced some flashing/flickering/blinking of the screen while I was playing The Sims 3.I know the game has overheated graphics cards in the past, so I'm concerned; thankfully, Christmas is coming up if I need a new card.

Here is a video of what happens: [URL]. Whenever I try to game longer than 10 minutes on this rig I just built, my PSU starts flickering like a strobe light and then my computer freezes. Sometimes it will display a random color though out the whole screen, or just go black. I have checked all my temperatures when this occurs and they are all well below average. I have ALL the latest drivers/windows updates. In this case like many others, my screen goes black for a few seconds but then recovers, only to have terrible FPS (I usually get 80+).
System Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E 3.6GHz (LGA 2011)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB (Factory SuperClocked)
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
PSU: Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W
