I have a 8 GB Transcend flash drive. I works properly on other systems (at least one system), but when I plug it in my Laptop, it is not even detected. Other USB devices work perfectly with my laptop, the only problem is with my Flash drive AND my laptop. I have tried to re install USB Hubs etc. of the laptop, but it did not help.
View 6 Repliesi've been having some really weird freezes, sometimes its just the windows but multimedia keyboard keys / mouse still work, other times it completely freezes (cant even move the mouse.).Usually if i wait a little bit the computer goes back to normal by itself, other times i get BSOD.Im pretty sure its hardware related because i've tried formatting and got a bsod right after installing windows, i suspect the hard drive because when the computer freezes all HDD activity stops, when the computer manages to recover the hard drive activity comes back exactly at the same time the system unfreezes, sometimes if i run chkdsk there are lots and lots of errors, windows fixes them but they come back sooner or later, also, sometimes the computer doesn't detect the hard drive after a BSOD, turning the computer off and then on always "fixes" that tho.
The only reason im not 100% sure its the HDD its because all HDD utilities i've tried (incluiding western digital diagnostics software) say the disk is fine, can SMART be wrong I've also ran memtest and no errors (just one pass tho)Things seem to have gotten worse when i changed the graphic card, however i remember getting these freezes with the old one, just not as serious, prolly just a coincidence.I remember getting 3 kinds of BSOD errors: driver_power_state_failure, pagefault_in_nonpaged_area and kernel_data_inpage_error.A week ago i turned my pc on and windows was broken, startup repair thing would show up and try to repair but failed no matter how many times i tried, this never happened to me before so it must be related.
Flash Player 11.1.102.62Firefox 10.0.1Windows 7 x64 SP1I downloaded the Flash Player installer from the official site and ran it. It downloaded the files and installed Flash. But whenever I try to view Flash content in Firefox, it claims that I don't have FP11 installed, offers to install it for me, tries to and then fails and says I must install it manually, which simply takes me back to Adobe's Flash Player site, where I had already downloaded the installer from!I just tried Firefox with a new profile and it doesn't work that way either.I have lately been using a debug version of FP 10.3, but got sick of the constant debug error messages I got when I tried to play videos and was hoping that 11 would simply work this time around. I uninstalled 10.3 before installing 11.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem with my Acer Aspire 4738 notebook running Windows 7 Basic Premium 64-bit. In short, when I click Devices and Printers, my brand new Lexar flash drive (windows 7 compatible) seems to be properly connected to its USB port, its driver installed, and everything looks OK. But when I click Computer, the flash drive does not show up.
I have already tried these two options, but neither works.
First option, Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management. When I try to change the letter drive of the flash drive, an error message pops up: �The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer." (I have done that but it doesn't help) And when I try to format the flash drive (i thought it might help), another error message pops up: �An unexpected error has occurred. Check the System Event Log for more information on the error."
Second option, Computer -> Manage -> Disk Drives. I uninstalled the flash drive, removed the flash drive physically from the laptop, and plugged it in again in an USB port. My computer detects the flash drive, installs its driver, but then again when I go to Computer, the flash drive doesn�t show up.
I got a laptop that's called a hp pavilion entertainment PC (dv67000) and it doesn't detect the hard drive nor the CD drive. I disconnected and reconnected them and reset BIOS to load default settings. And still nothing.

I haven't been able to get Windows 7 installation to detect this drive for about two months now. I'm running on a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H mobo, revision 2.1.
I recently found a list of drivers for my motherboard on Gigabyte. I also found some downloads for my hard drive.
Oh, and I can use this drive if I'm running Windows 7 on a different hard drive, but I just can't install Windows 7 on it.
I've been having internet connection problems for the last couple weeks, i moved my entire setup closer to my router, and i still had bad internet. I searched around my house a little bit and found ethernet cables, i connected them and everything but, windows doesn't seem to detect them (well it does but it doesn't use it as the connection)
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo my trusty old 40 GB Maxtor HDD finally died, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 250 GB Western Digital Caviar SE 16 (SATA II). Windows will boot off of the DVD, load the setup, ask me if I want to perform an install or a repair, and then it asks if I want to upgrade or do a "custom" setup. I choose custom since it's a clean drive, but then it shows me a blank list of drives with the option to load a driver. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2H, so I went to Gigabyte's website and downloaded the drivers and put them on a USB thumb drive. I spent hours trying to load different drivers to no avail. I tried the CD that came with the motherboard; no dice. I tried 32 and 64 bit installations; neither worked.
But you know what did work? My 180-day trial copy of Windows Server 2003. It detected that hard drive like Western Digital made it just for 2003.
My USB flash drive doesnt work anymore?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor awhile now my mouse has been very erratic, and I want to reinstall my comp to rid the problem. My antivirus & Malwarebytes' are not finding the problem.
With all my files now on a flash drive, is it possible to re-contract whatever is giving me mouse problems when I stick the drive back in a fresh installed comp? I highly doubt it, but I want another person's opinion.
I have an issue where my flash drive periodically won't show up in My Computer... when I insert it, I hear the 'hardware insert' sound but no drive in my computer and no autostart. it doesn't show in device manager and clicking 'refresh' does not make it show up! if I remove the flash drive, the drive appears in 'my computer' for a second then disappears... the same problem occurs when I plug it into another port... I have four ports, only three of them are not used by something plugged in permanently... usually I have to insert the flash drive into random ports at least 5 times before it displays the drive...

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe problem that I'm having is that my PC isn't shutting down. When I press the option, the PC goes into the shutting down screen and hangs there indefinitely. I have tried to leave it there for many periods of time but it still never shuts down. The only way to shut down the PC would be to force it through the Power button and through the Reset button. Another issue is that my PC doesn't detect new USB items, like a flash drive that is connected after the PC is turned on and can only detect USB items when they are plugged in when the PC is turned on.
I have booted into Safe Mode and both issues are not apparent. New USB items are detected and I can shutdown or restart the computer. It seems to me that the problem may be memory related but I ran a dskchk and no problems were encountered. Another thing that may have caused the issues may have been something with the registry.
I have a laptop that is about a year old. Recently, my system rebooted and I was no longer able to view my Programs, files on the Hard drive or any other document. Here is the twist. I am still able to log into windows, use the Internet Explorere. If I happen to know the location of the file I can pull it up. It seems like i have no viewable rights to my C: drive at all. but can still work on files and programs.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI bought Windows 7 Home 64bit OEM a few days ago to go along with a few other upgrades (more ram and a new video card). I installed everything before doing the OS install, but didn't bother optimizing/drivers etc. Anyway, after installing Windows 7 the computer booted up and whatnot, networking and internet worked etc...but Device Manager doesn't recognize any of my components.
Essentially it considers everything to be generic and I'm having a hell of a time getting the drivers installed. Should I just be downloading them from the manufacturers website and installing them? All I've been able to get installed are the mobo driver (not the audio, though).
The other drivers tend to fail during installation or, in the case of my video card, I get a black screen (though when I reset it back to the default generic VGA settings it works OK). System doesn't detect my sound card, disk drive brands, video card, DVD-RW player etc.
Here is my set-up. I'd appreciate some direction. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI never thought ill be having a problem with installing windows. My old motherboard has died on me and i have replaced it with a new M3A79-T deluxe without changing my already installed windows 7 64. Everything worked fine if a little slow so I decided to frag everything and do a clean install but the installation kept freezing at expanding files. Following other forums i tried dban but it finished in about 2 seconds with errors. which made me think there is a problem with the hd. So then i installed Linux mint so i can use at least something in the mean time, it worked without a problem ruling out a faulty hard drive, I went back to trying to install win7. This time i wasn't even able to proceed from the partition menu as it kept complaining that windows cannot install onto this partition due to 0x80300001 error. I noticed that no partition was marked as the primary partition.I got around this by creating new partitions in the Linux installer then exiting and reformatting the partitions in windows installer (assuming this turns it into NTFS format) I was able to proceed into the installation but again got stuck at the same place with expanding files with error 0x8007045d after a few hours just like before.
Also i never installed drivers in windows installation but when i try to install sata drivers either from mobo cd or mobo website the installer doesn't recognize them, iv tried taking everything out but 1 ram stick, installing new BIOS, reseting CMOS, playing around with partitions, installing from different dvds I'm getting close to throwing this thing out of the window and getting a mac book.
I wanted to ask about the wifi problem on my netbook (zyrex bee 106p) made in Indonesia country. I did install the recommended way, and I have internet connection at home with the wifi network.
But when I try to connect to the internet, I do not even find the access point. And with another computer I can find the access point.
How strange, after I checked, the existing drivers already installed and I have downloaded from the official site still could not connect. Then my whim, I tried using the ubuntu live cd.
And it turns out the wifi connection can be used normally! then, where is the problem?
Recently, I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 2043NWX monitor. It's an used one, but it did work. My computer is an Acer Aspire M3920 (desktop), a more complete configuration can be found in my profile.
My desktop PC connects to my main monitor, an Acer P196HQV via an HDMI to DVI connnector, and my desktop PC connects to my second monitor, the SyncMaster, via VGA.
The problem is, however, the second monitor doesn't work. Windows 7 does detect a monitor connected via VGA in Control Panel > Appearance and Personalisation > Display > Adjust Screen Resolution, it says in the display box: Code: 2. Display Device on: VGA. In the Device Manager it only detected my Acer monitor, but after I downloaded the SyncMaster driver from the official site of Samsung, it detects the SyncMaster instead of the Acer monitor! This isn't the case in Adjust Screen Resolution.
The SyncMaster shows nothing at all, the blue LED, where I can tell the monitor is turned on from, flickers all the time, but the screen doesn't show anything.
I have tried reinstalling the driver, restarting my computer, installing the newest updates for Windows 7, making the SyncMaster my main monitor, turning off the Acer monitor, but nothing works.
When I try to use something on Internet Explorer that requires Flash, it always says "Flash Version 9.0 or greater is required.." But I always keep my Flash updated. Right now, it's Flash Player 11.

Now, when I try to boot, it just sits with a gray cursor at the top left of the screen. I went into the UEFI and went to boot order, but it only shows my 1TB hard drive and my dvd drive. But I had a 750GB hard drive with windows installed. I think this is the reason it won't boot, because it doesn't see the drive with the OS installed.

I have an ASUS K50IE laptop that i had for 2 years now. been working fine until 2 days ago.this problem has been bugging me for the last 2 days. here's why.my laptop suddenly didn't detect my battery. thought it was because my battery was dead. I searched the net on things to do before "throwing in the towel" on my battery and today i came across a blog where the instruction was to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI compliant control method battery driver. I did just that and my battery suddenly worked! well sort of. now here's where it gets all weird.every time i open my laptop i do the following:1. plug in AC to laptop.. turn on laptop.3. unplug AC.3. laptop runs on battery.4. log on to windows.5. battery icon shows up as an empty charging icon then shows the "Battery is not detected" icon again.please take note that my laptop is still ON and WORKING. so this means (MAYBE?) that my battery is working.
