Upgrading Computer To NVidia GTX 560, Constant Crashing?
Jul 3, 2012
I've been having some issues since upgrading my computer to this Galaxy GTX 560 video card. My old EVGA GTX 280 did fine except I wanted to be able to run Direct X 11 and newer games on the horizon.I specifically get crashes when playing certain games. Diablo 3, Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic (seldom but still happens). The crash would usually occur less than 20 minutes of playing.I have not experienced a crash on Team Fortress 2 yet. I have played for a few hours without crashing.This is a second card, I RMA'd the first card already with the same issues.I am on Windows 7 Professional, x64.This is a upgraded installation from a clean install of Windows xp. Re-Installed Dec '11 This should be a retail version.Motherboard 2007.CPU 2010 Intel Q9550.RAM 2011 Corsair something matched pair.Hard drive 2012 Patriot Memory Pyro.I have not overclocked anything in my computer. Everything runs fine on my 280 GTX. (just a bit slower and I hear the fan churning like mad, but doesn't hard crash).I have also tried running the OCCT, however it also causes it to crash out in about 130 seconds. The crash report is generated from this.

The computer I am currently using is a 4 year old HP Pavillion a6430f (specs below), built to run the 32-bit version of Vista Home Premium. In May 2011, I first installed a 64-bit edition of Windows 7 Professional - some months thereafter, I began to run into repeated BSODs (unfortunately, I never wrote down the error codes). In October, I took the computer in for servicing, and was told that the hard drive failed. After it was replaced, I reconnected my computer (now running Vista again) and immeadiately (stupidly, perhaps) reinstalled my copy of Windows 7. Within several weeks, the problem resumed.I have only recently had time to get the computer serviced again, and it has been factory-reset to 32-bit Vista with another new hard drive. I don't expect my exact issue can be troubleshooted from this information, but I'd like to eliminate one of the variables. According to the system itself (information found in Control PanelSystem and MaintenancePerformance Information and ToolsView and print details), my computer is "64-bit capable". However, as I know little about hardware and the like, I ask: Could installing 64-bit Windows 7 on an originally 32-bit Windows Vista machine be causing hard drive failure/ BSOD problems?
[code] Other information: The latest hard drive that the repair shop has placed in this machine is a ~900 GB, 3.5" 7200 RPM Seagate ST1000DM 003-9YN162. The GeForce 9400 GT was also not present in the original computer (I made sure to install the correct drivers); nor was the power supply currently in it, which is around 400 watts (100 more than NewEgg's calculator said would be necessary to power the parts currently inside). I don't know if this info is too relevant, however; I am only asking whether the change of operating system is causing a negative effect.

I just done a fresh clean install of Windows 7 (due to brand new WD Blue 500Gb HDD) on a PB EasyNote TS-13HR, all drivers are the latest from PB's website all Windows 7 updates done and MS Sec Essentials insatlled.It crashes constantly but can then sometimes it'll be fine for hours I suspect a compatibilty issue with HDD, but not to sure really?Below is the debug from memory.dmp - it seems to point at a registry error, which is new (older crash dumps didn't say that!)

Just arrived home from a trip to find that my computer is not working, constant crashing apparently caused by a failure of the display driver, after doing some research i think that some of my hardware has become faulty, the crashing is constant so i cannot really troubleshoot anything.

We have a Windows 7 Host running VMware Workstation with 5 virtual machines, One Windows server, 2 Windows 7 machines and 2 Windows XP machines.The host and non server VM's are fine, they run 100% of the time and never have problems, my SBS 2011 VM is another story. There have been nothing but crashe's over the past 6 months and they are fairly random.I beleive the server BSOD's and then it reboots, upon rebooting it just sits at a black loading windows screen forever until you completely power it off and then back on, at which time it boots up normally.The BSOD's happen ususaly around 12 AM when Windows server backup runs and creates a server backup on another server over the network, the backup runs 7 days a week but we only see the BSOD about twice a month.I have run through drivers in my SBS 2011 install and all seem up to date to me.

I have been trawling this site since Oct 22 for help with my problem, some pointers have worked to some extent but now I have reached a dead end so here's my post:
I have custom installed Windows 7 64 over an OEM Vista Home Premium on my Samsung R710 - a very pretty little laptop. Everything works great except the driver for my video card, an Nvidia 9600M GT. According to Dev Manager my GPU is currently running under a VGA compatible video controller which can only give me basic video display, no Aero or proper gaming display.
After struggling to find an Nvidia driver that would recognize my card similar to other posters in this forum, I came across the 186.81 driver
(186.81_notebook_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql) on the Nvidia site. Using Internet Explorer, this driver is automatically detected for my system and after downloading detects my GPU and installs right over the VGA driver. Great.
Not so great: I cannot boot into Windows 7. I get the 'Windows is Starting' screen with the whirling lights and the beatific windows logo shining away but just before the mouse pointer should appear the display completely switches off (not black screen) and reboots ad infinitum. Only a safe mode disinstall of 186.81 and 2 reboots will allow to get back into Windows 7 with the VGA driver back in control.
The funny thing is, after looking at other peoples problems on this site I DID get 186.81 to work for a few hours. Aero was working and I was playing the new Dyson game on Steam, but a sudden reboot dropped me into the cycle described above.
Because I had also done some messing around with the OEM drivers from Samsung I thought I had screwed something up; so, I executed a recovery back to Vista and a completely new custom install of Windows 7 64. I reinstalled 186.81 but immediately met the same reboot problem.
Now then. I have tried monkeying around with the VGA driver file: vgapnp.sys in system32 (no change to reboot situation), looking at ntbtlog.txt (completely fruitless), updating the BIOS from Samsung (this driver fails to load in Windows 7), every driver someone has recommended (the drivers usually install but result in same reboot situation) and the MS Update Catalog drivers (same reboot deal).
Essentially, I can get a compatible Nvidia driver to install but my system will not accept it and reboots until remove the offending driver in safe mode.

I wonder if I'm alone here but I am having a lot of problems with 19x.xx series of nVidia drivers.
Had strange problems with some games on those, with few completely unplayable (CoD4 crashing on start, L4D crashing on start or hanging after loading the level, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 having major graphical artifacts or hanging)
Going back to 185.85 and recently to 185.81 solved those problems.
I heard that GeForce 8 and 9 series are affected - anyone had similar experience?

I have three pcs installed with windows7 sucessfully. I love the operating system.
My laptop is having issues with my 9600 m GT 512 video card..windows update will not find my video card like it does on all my other systems .. 186.81 is the version I have attempted to use from the nvidia webpage... windows reboots saying it had a problem booting and it will attempt to resolve the problem... I have to use system restore after each time I install these drivers... anyone else having an issue like this? Is there a solution to this problem?

I bought The Sims 3 years ago, worked fine. I then bought World Adventures and Late Night and again, worked fine. I then got Pets for Christmas, was working fine until about a week ago when it froze every so often when i went to the map view, i would then have to press the desktop button and the message "The Sims 3 has stoppe working" would appear... un-installed all of the games and reinstalled them, didn't work. Then started freezing, during game play as well, unistalled them again and reinstalled - again no luck. I have turned off all the DEP on the exe files of every game, still no luck.I have tried trouble shooting all the games and no luck there.I have:HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PCIntel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz Installed Memory: 3.00 GB (2.86 GB usable)64-bit Operating System

I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I make a mistake.I recently purchased a Dell Latitude E4300 refurbished laptop from a seller on eBay. Ever since I brought it home, it has been constantly freezing randomly, whether it be whilst I'm browsing, navigating through windows etc.I've reformatted, and completely wiped the system about 3-4 times, installing different versions of Windows 7 whether it be Home Premium x32 or x64, or Windows 7 Professional x32 or x64 bit, but regardless of what I do, it concludes pointless. I first suspected it was the graphics driver, hence I've tried updating, and downgrading the driver to see whether it would rectify the problem. After that appeared pointless, I suspected it might've been the fan, as the computer does heat up quite quickly, however that concluded pointless as the computer froze even on the windows 7 boot logo. Finally I suspected it might've been the hard drive, and/or the ram, I did some tests (Windows Memory Diagnostic & Memtest86+) and CHKDSK multiple times without any detected errors being found. What I found interesting was that it mainly froze when I initiated a "Windows Experience Index" test, however that was at the beginning.

A couple months after I got my computer, it began to become very slow. Being an impatient person, I hard rebooted a couple times. Eventually it went into The black screen where it says "checking disk for consistency". Being an impatient person,y dad and I chose to just re install my whole computer. And then it was fine.Until a month later when it began having the same issues. This time, I hard rebooted a couple times until it went into "Checling disk" again. After googling, I let it run through and it took a couple of hours but it worked. And them it was fine, until a week later t became extremely slow, shut down, and went into Startup Repair. It began fixing hard drive errors and took several hours to complete, but it did. And it was fineA week later my computer again has begun freezing up. When I start it up in the mornings, it takes a long time on "Starting Windows" and then goes to a black screen with a cursor. Then waits for a long time before going into he login screen, I login and it takes a long time to begin to function. Then it starts to freeze up, I hard rebooted, and it happens again.
Oh, and whenever I get the rare moment my computer is functioning I run Norton full scans/ CCcleaner. Computer info:Model: Gateway NV55CIntel Core i3-370MHard Drive: 320 GB HDDMemory: 4GB DDR3 MemoryUpdAte:Rebooted computer, went into startup repair. Let it run and sent to starting windows and beeped around 8 times. Now it's stuck, and I'm sad

Every time I shut down my laptop, there would always be the notice "installing update 1 of 1". This has been happening for a while and I'm wondering what's going on.
In addition, many random files have been created in the Local C drive as shown: Corrupted Image removed - please re- upload
I don't know if I should just delete them but anyway, I chose not to just in case.

This morning i turned on my PC, and for the first few minutes it worked fine, but then it turned horrible. Everything froze when i attempted to click it or even hover my cursor over it. I tried to open task manager to shut down Firefox, but it took around ~20 minutes for task manager to open. Once everything was closed, I scanned with MBAM Pro and nothing was found, so I read about this on other sites. They said to clean the registry with a program called WiseCleaner. It took me 15 minutes to get it, but when it finished scanning it found 853 problems in the registry. I also defragmented the registry. Also, whenever I try to boot into safe mode, my computer freezes at CLASSPNP.SYS. Not sure what to do now, as no improvement was made.
Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Intel Core i7 Q740, 6 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon 5850m

Motherboard that I using currently is ASUS P7H55-M LX.It basically has only 2 slot. Intially I bought a 2GB ram and wanted to increase it recently. Did not thought of wasting too much on ram since I have bought it only a year ago.Hence I bought a 4GB ram and placed it in.
Here comes the issue:
After placing it, my computer keep freezing.So my question is that is it alright to mix ram size in the same motherboard?

In a brave attempt to put together my new computer, my new machine keeps constantly freezing up. The event mostly occurs when i open a webpage that might have embedded video. When the machine freezes up, I need to do a hard boot. I have tried running the Asus diagnostic tools, but no real results. I have even tried the various memory tests, however no resolve. One other step that I have taken was also to replace my grahics card from a AMD Sapphire to a NVDIA GeForce GTX 690.

i've just changed motherboard card, memory and cpu to the new one:gigabyte p67a-d3-b3, intel core i3 2120, patriot ddr3 2x4096mb 1600mhz cl8.0 viper xtreme divison 2 llk.i changed in bios memory to 1600mhz 8-9-8-24 1.5 v (instead of 1.65v (i couldnt find option to get it to 1.65v in bios, when i changed to 1.6v system didnt run). after 1 day i got bsod. but i changed back memory to the orginal state and after about 1 hour system just got shocked. bsod didn't show up, but computer was frozen and non stop i could hear beep sound.i didn't uninstall drivers from old motherboard (don't know how). i installed new drivers for new motherboard / cpu. i didn't install again graphic card drivers (i was told i don't need to). i didn't make format either (i'd like to avoid that as much as i can).in attachment everything you want: minidump / rammon / cpu-z / and seven forums tool logs.
edit:i'd like to add that each time computer got frozen was while i was watching something on Internet?

so i recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit from windows Vista on my laptop. This laptop is mainly used for gaming so i was a bit surprised when i was playing a game and my computer overheated and turned off for the first time in a year of having the laptop. I checked and even games like "lord of the rings online" that pushed my GPU to about 70 degrees on vista, now pushes the gpu to 100 or more. Is there any fix for this? or is my only option to return to windows vista?

I've got a relatively new custom PC (around 3 months old) and I have problems with it. It was put together by the same shop that sold the parts. It recently started to crash constantly at seemingly random times. Sometimes it would run fine for 5 days without any issues, at other times it would crash once every day for a few days. Even the cause isn't always the same. It would either give me a BSoD or simply shut down without any message and restart itself.

i've somewhat recently built myself a new gaming rig due to my old system being horribly outdated and unreliable and from day one of using the new computer i've had some problems with crashing.basically, the computer crashes at least once per day and is seemingly undetectable as to when this happens, the only thing intensifying the crashing seems to be streaming videos online, ie. Internet, facebook, dailymotion videos etc.a friend of mine had compiled the list of parts that i would use to build the computer, and also did the majority of assembling (which i cannot notice any problems with by looking at the inside of the tower). this same friend, after hearing about constant crashing problems and unreliability as to when it would crash had suggested a problem with the system's memory, but after swapping out hdd's and even installing an ssd? here is a list of my system specs.
corsair 8gb ram
western digital 2tb internal hdd
ocz agility 60gb ssd (boot disc)
win7 ultimate 32-bit os
lite-on dvd drive
intel core i5 2500k processor
asus geforce gtx 560 directcu ii top 1024mb video card

I reformatted my computer a couple weeks ago in order to install my new 40GB SSD drive and ever since, my computer has been randomly crashing. It has never happened when I was actually using it, but it has happened a couple times when I'm sitting next to it. It seems to just shut off and come back on. When it turns back on, I get this dialog...

Windows 7 x64 Home, Dell XPS Desktop PC. To start, I can boot into safe mode with networking, and cruise facebook and everything else just fine for him on IE. Having issues with re-installing Firefox since it keeps locking up and crashing (BSOD). I can get in and most things on the PC tend to run fine, then gets slower and slower with nothing big on the processes list in task manager. If I open either IE or Firefox, the thing locks up, can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL. I have ran AVG scan, ran Malwarebytes scan, uninstalled Firefox, uninstalled all javas, updated IE to 9 via Windows Update, and reinstalled javas/firefox again. Still crashes. My thought is that it has to be an addon or some crap somewhere since it runs fine in safe mode? The only add-on I had enabled in Firefox was the Java SSE Add-in or something like that. Not sure now since it won't re-install.
