I have an inspiron 570 desktop with 4gb of ram already installed. I went on crucial, and it found compatible RAM, 1gb 240pin ddr3 128mx64. When I opened my computer up, there were 4 slots, 2 blue ones with the default ram, and 2 open black ones. I couldn't get the ram to seat properly, it took a lot of force to make it click on one side, it wouldn't clip on both sides at once. And I'm sure the ram was in all the way, because if I applied any more force I would snap it.

My desktop PC running Windows 7 64 bit behaves erratically when I close it down using the Start Orb - shut down button. Sometimes it closes down fully on other occasions the computer goes into a deep sleep, (the hard drive light continues to flash, the fans are running, the monitor screen goes off) but it will not respond to either the keyboard or the mouse, both of which are connected by USB cables.I then have to close down the computer by holding in the power button for about 10 seconds.When I next require the computer it boots normally and seems oblivious to its shut-down problem.I always ensure that no programs are running when I shut down the computer and cannot see any clues regarding what I was last doing before shut-down that might trigger a problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the USB device drivers to no avail.
I am running windows 7 and my cd rom is not working properly. It was reinstalled which seemed to help a LITTLE, but sometimes you have to incert a cd 7 or eight times before it will read it. I can see that there is a cd inserted (when I go to my computer I can see the D drive). Just doesn't read them all the time. I have a Dell with a vertical cd drive. When I view it through the control panel it says my driver is up to date.
every time i started my loptop computer, a message "backupManagertray: The TCP/IP protocol is not installed properly". i can connect to the internet using the namoroka firefox, but the mozilla cant connect to the net. even my antivirus cant connect/update too.
When I restart, the computer simply just goes black after the blue screen says Windows shutting down. I have to physically press the restart button on my case
When I install my vga driver on my windows 7 on biostar mother board the pc is not shutting down properly i.e the fans keep rotating & after few minutes the pc starts up again. But when i install the same on xp that works perfect. I don't where is the problem exactly.
My mother board-H61MLV2 Ver. 8.0 OS-Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Ram-4GB Hdd-500gb No graphics card
I am try ing to install windows 7 on my HP m8200n desktop pc. It will go through the loading process and it goes through all the steps until it finishes and restarts and then I get a blue and white diagonal striped screen. I do a forced shut down and restart and get a message that says windows installation cannot proceed to restart the computer and restart the installation. I have went through this 6 times with the same result.
Well basically I am restoring my computer like I do every one and a while, but this time it started freaking out it is at the install page for Microsoft Office 2010 and the loading bar wouldn't load past 18/27. I left it here for like 10 hours so i know it's not working right. I also tried turning my computer off and back on again, but it just goes back to the same screen. However when I turn it back on I can hit F2 and F12 for the booting menus, but I couldn't find anything of help there. Oh and if I close my laptop and open it in switches users and I can't log back in to the only account says I don't have permission. I'm not sure what to do after that, it didn't come with a disk it's all in the computer.I use a 64bit windows 7.
There is a closed thread that describes my exact issue and what was discussed at [url]...
I was wondering if anyone knew of a resolution for this. It is for another computer and so i don't have immediate access to the specs but i can post them at a later time if it is deemed necessary. I just wanted to get the ball rolling at least for now
Running WIndows 7 Home Premium on a Lenovo Ideapad z585 This is a brand new unit.Started having problems after I turned on and started installing Microsoft updates. Did not even have a chance to make any recovery disks.The system does not load properly. No Windows splash screen. Only shows all the program scrolling as it loads.I am getting these two error messages:System Restore Failed: 0X1FSystem File and integrity check and repair Failed 0X490
I need to setup a VPN with two Windows 7 computers to enable file sharing so that I can ideally map a network drive to the server from the client. Ive got it to the point where the VPN connects but when I try to ping between any of the computers on the two networks it doesnt go.
I have a three month old HP DV7-3085dx which suddenly stopped shutting down correctly. I hangs at the "shutting down" screen. I have to power it down manually to shut it off then of course I get the message that windows shut down incorrectly. I'm at my wits end with this. Today I restored the laptop for the fourth time back to when it was new. I used Mozbackup and even that didn't work with the Thunderbird backup so I lost all my contacts. It worked fine with the Firefox backup. I'm attaching the file that was in the minidump directory as several other posters were instructed to do.
I am running windows 7 64 bit on my desktop PC. I have had it for...something like a year and a half now. And just in the last couple weeks I have suddenly had this problem. The issue is that my Windows apparently cannot shut down properly. It shuts down, there is no hanging up or anything. Any time I shut down or restart, it goes to the blue "Shutting Down" screen and message, the cursor does it's rotating "timing" thing, and then the system shuts down. But when it restarts, I get the "Windows did not shut down successfully" and it asks me if I want to start in one of the safe mode variations, or to start normally. Every single time. Windows shuts down, but then restarts and tells me it did not shut down properly. And many changes I made before shutting down were not retained, but some are. For example, I patched a game, and that information was retained on restart. But I moved some desktop icons around, bookmarked some pages in Firefox, closed Firefox pages, changed msconfig for a clean boot, and none of those changes were retained.
I have gotten a screen freeze and BSOD a couple of times in the last few weeks as well, but only a couple of times, while the "failure to shut down properly" problem happens with every single shutdown and restart I do.
I'm losing my mind a bit here. The only real practical problem it's causing me at the moment is that every time I restart my computer, I have to rearrange my desktop icons, and every time I open Firefox, it wants to restore a session I had closed and exited from, and I can't bookmark any websites. It's annoying, but doesn't keep me from functioning.
I have all of my folders on my D drive set to be network accessible by everyone on the network, mostly so I can share them with my laptop. It's not very secure, but that's not the problem I'm having here. I recently changed some of the organization of the folders on the drive, which included changing folder names. As a result, I had to reshare them. All of that worked out fine and I've been able to access them. However, if I go to my D drive through "My Computer" I see all the old folder names with the old folder contents. I have to go to "My Network Places" and click on my PC's Location (while on my PC) in order to access the new folders.
I updated my audio drivers as per windows update because I noticed I had some new updates. Well now my speakers are not as loud as they used to be. I really don't know a way to describe this other then that, they just do not sound like they used to. They sound like they are not reaching their maximum volume, even though the volume ( master and others ) are all the way up, maxed out. Also, my Dell and the Audio drivers come with an IDT control panel, I do not know how to set up the IDT control panel for best playback, and I do not know how to fix this issue. I am on a Dell XPS 1645 using Windows 7 Pro.
I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150Bb running 7 Ultimate X86 and up until last week i think everything was running as normal but now when i drag my program windows it comes up with a black box outline as it does in the Basic theme why is this is there a quick fix to it or will i have to live with it or reinstall.
i have a windows 7 home premium dell xps 15 laptop, and when i close the lid (when being on) and then come back like maybe after half an hour or an hour and open the lid i have to press the on button for 2 sec to start it up, then it says windows did not shut down properly.
this morning after leaving my pc on overnight i noticed it had updated due to being on the startup screen, so i followed it through as i normally do but this time there were no icons on the background, i noticed the display had a 5mm black border around it aswell, i managed to get to the main screen by typing my password on a black screen after the windows loading window, but now i'm stuck just my background picture with the same 5mm border.[CODE]
My sons Windows 7(64 bit) laptop won't start up properly, I suspect he pulled the battery off while Windows was still open. I hope someone can help, I have tried the following start ups several times.With a normal start up, it gets to the "Starting Windows" page, loads for a while and then restarts.With a Safe Mode start up (all versions), it gets to:Loaded: Windowssystem32DRIVERSAtiPcie.sys, hangs for a while and then restarts.With a Startup Repair (recommended) start up it gets to the login screen - well sort of. The background picture appears with a cursor, but there are nothing else.I have created a system repair disc from my own Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop and have booted from that.This does the same as a Starup Repair, with the addition of choosing a keyboard, it doesn't progress ot offering me an account to log in to.
It is very strange. If I right click right now anywhere it will work. When I am in any game, however, it acts very strange. The right click sometimes does not register, and other times will be inconsistent.
For example, if I have to hold down the right button for me to eat a jelly bean, it will cancel mid hold, as if I had let go. This all started happening after an episode where I accidentally messed with sticky keys.
A few weeks ago, my computer started acting up. Whenever it goes to sleep, it shuts off completely for about a second, then goes into a sort of 'zombie' mode in which only the fans and lights are on. The computer won't wake up if you use the mouse or keyboard. The only way to wake it up is to hit the "restart" button, upon which it will show a standard booting screen (Asus, then windows). Upon logging in, everything is there, as if it simply went into hibernate. The same thing happens if I sleep manually, and even when I go into hibernate. I've tried toggling the power settings and scanning for viruses. I was even going to do a system restore, but it hadn't logged any days.
i shutdown my pc properly via the shutdown button in start menu... but when i check my reliability monitor it says windows was not shutdown properly. it doesnt happen everytime i shutdown but seems to happen randomly every now and then.
The problem occurs when I am playing streaming videos from thedailyshow.com and colbertnation.com. The audio seems to come through properly. but the video is messed up. every half a second or so, it plays a few frames from a fraction of a second before. I wish I could explain this better but it basically ruins the video. the ads that play before the actual clips play just fine. I have not been able to reproduce this problem on any desktop or laptop that I have been able to get my hands on.
so i was on windows, on a website, when my computer formally shutdown and restarted.it wouldnt boot. i checked the bios and there were no changes. tried every bootrec / command and nothing would work. i ended up installing windows on my second drive, making that the boot priority, then adding the primary drive's OS onto that boot menu. i tried moving the bcd using easybcd onto my primary drive then booting from it and still nothing.to sum up, my computer now boots bios-->E:cd->C:Windows.i want to fix it because I need to unplug my E drive to plug in my DVD drive because my gtx 570 is so long it blocks 3/5 of my sata ports and i want to install skyrim again
I have a Gioteck EX-05 headset, and when I plug it in, my computer detects it and installs the drivers, however it continues to play sound through its speakers and not my headset. The headset appears in device manager, but it is not listed as a playback device in the Devices and Printers section of the Control Panel. I have tried un-installing and Re-installing the drivers, but that doesn't work
Some application icons and files that are use them to open aren't displaying their proper icon and are displaying a default windows icon.
This is happening in the taskbar, the desktop and the start menu. I've tried deleting the iconcache.db file which didn't work.I've attached some photos illustrating the problem.
