Win 7 X64 Professional Freezes
Dec 1, 2009
I built a new pc yesterday, and ever since i built it, i have had problems with windows 7 freezing randomly. Originally i noticed the cpu temperature was way too high (70 degrees!) so i replaced the thermal grease, and now it is back to around 50. however, windows still continues to freeze at random intervals.
windows 7 x64 professional (clean install)
samsung spinpoint 320gb hdd sata (operating system is on here)
hitachi deskstar 500gb hdd sata (storage/games)
2x2gb OCZ pc2-6400
asus p5n-D motherboard ( "apparently" windows 7 compatible xD)
intel quad core q8400
Point Of View GTX 275 Joker Edition
all drivers are windows installed apart from graphics, using microsoft security essentials, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and when it tries to connect to my wifi, the computer freezes and requires me to do a hard reset of the system.
I have a D-Link DWA-547 PCI card, and this seems to be the culprit. If I am quick I can disable the card before it starts to connect to the internet. Once it connects, the computer freezes.
I have tried several drivers for the card without luck including:
1.40b06
1.60(E)b12
The default drivers that Windows 7 installed (7.0.0.84 I think...)
They all freeze the computer.
Has anyone run into this before, and found a solution?

Am buying a new computer with Windows 7 professional installed. Have MS Office Professional 07 on old computer which died. Will MS give me another product key so I can install MS Office Professional 07 on new computer? Will I need install additional drivers?

I have checked my DELL Latitude 6500 laptop running WinXP Pro using the Windows 7 upgrade advisor tool, and everythihng is a go. I also know that I need to do a good backup of my critical files and the pictures I want to keep.I have had many people tell me that before I make such a change in operating systems, do a backup first, because Windows 7 requires a clean startup, because there is no upgrade from XP to Win7.Is there an easy way to keep these work related files, and .jpg pictures using a simpler backup process than the software backup program called Acronis?I have also read that there is a program that will run at the same time as Windows 7, like a separate operating system called XP Mode. As I understand it, XP mode runs in a separate window on the Windows 7 desktop, much like a program, except it's a fully functional version of Windows XP. In Windows XP Mode, I think you can also access your computer's CD/DVD drive, install programs, save files, and perform other tasks as if you were using a computer running Windows XP.I am not sure Acronis can be installed on this DELL Out-of-Warranty Win XP laptop, if I am currently using it for my desktop with Win 7 Ultimate. Once the critical files and .jpg photos are saved on an external hard drive, can I bring them back onto the laptop on the same harddrive with the new operating system Win 7 files, or do I need to partition the laptop harddrive, or does it matter if I use them with Win XP Mode?

I tried to do a Repair Install following this tutorial, but the Compatibility Report says:"Windows 7 Professional cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. You'll need to reinstall any programs using the original installation discs or files. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. To install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional, click the Back button in the upper left-hand corner, and select "Custom (advanced)"." I have Win 7 SP1, but only a Win 7 disc without SP1.

The machine i am doing the downgrade is an HP 500B MT, I am using the HP Restore Plus DVD that came with the machine as well as the Operating System CD. I started the setup yesterday and it seems to be taking forever!

i have random freezes sometimes they are glitchy and rarely bsod all on bootup or up to about half hour in (which also turns of the mouse). also Internet doesn't autoplay playlists and all sugestions next to the video are black. this started a few weeks to a month ago, first it seemed just a minor annoyance but it started to become more often the last few days. i've tried some checks but without success.
also i remember the week before those crashes that twice the screen driver crashed for a second or 2 and then a message popped up about how a monitor driver crash was adjusted, always when i played a certain game that is still in beta so i taught it was the game.

I have pre-ordered Home Premium but I noticed that it does not have automatic backup unlike Professional. Will I still be able to restore from the backups that I have created in my release client using Microsoft backup if I use Home Premium?

I got serial for Windows 7 professional from MSDNAA which my school is part of. I'm allowed to have copy of Windows 7 professional to my personal use. Problem is that our administrator has only activated x86 version of Windows 7 professional and I would need x64 version. I do have the serial key though. If I got serial key for Windows 7 Professional doesn't that apply to both x86 and x64 versions? I've got OEM disk of Windows 7 Professional x64. Does my serial apply if I install OEM version?

I have a self built PC running XP Pro SP3, and I'm planning to upgrade this to Windows 7 Professional, initially dual booting until I've sorted out all hardware & driver problems.The hardware is an ASUS M3A78-CM motherboard which I know supports 64 bits architecture, 2 x 1Mb DDR2 800 MHz DIMMS and an AMD Athlon II x2 250 Processor @ 3GHz AM3 CPU which, I understand, also has 64-bit instructions.
To the nitty-gritty, given that I can easily buy more RAM as required - there are still 2 free slots on the motherboard),should I go for 32-bit or jump to 64-bit. Will my existing software (including Office 2010, Acronis Disk Director and True Image, Steganos Suite etc) install and reap the benefit, or will I need further expense to upgrade all these.And how much RAM should I buy if I stick with 32 bit or if I jump to 64 bit.

I built this computer Dec 11, and have had consistant installer issues from day one. Installing or removing programs hangs/takes forever or doesn't work at all. I don't get any error messages. It just hangs forever. Sometimes, if I go to bed on it, it will be complete in the morning. On the first Windows OS install, once I got the install probs, I just did another clean install. It didn't change a thing.Sometimes, thru the past, I've just ignored the errors, and simply tried to get along without some of the programs I've wanted to install. But now, Windows Updates aren't installing either, and the persistant messages and restart prompts are driving me crazy.Where in the heck do I start? I've run Microsoft's fixit for install errors.

Currently I've got HP 64, I dunno If the features would be worth it for me. But one thing I do like is that gpedit.msc is included in Professional and above.Should I fork out $130 for the upgrade ?And what would be the main difference between Professional and Ultimate ?

Everytime I try to open up a program, a window pops up and says "Access to %1 has been restricted by your Administrator by policy rule %2.". What does this mean, and how can I deal with this? I am an Administrator already, and I am using Windows 7 Professional.

I have an HP G71 laptop, and I want to re-install Windows 7 on it. However, I have a few issues with simply re-installing on it.1.) The product key. Like many people, I have an official license sticker on my computer. The problem is the product key is completely faded and unreadable. But unfortunately, that's only the least of my problems. The key on my laptop is for Windows 7 Home Premium OEM, and I need at least Windows 7 Professional for work. The upgrade key I have for Windows 7 Professional has already been used, so it's not genuine to use again.2.) OEM software. I've never had to re-install Windows 7 on this laptop, so it's still loaded with the 'wonderful' OEM software that was pre-installed on it (some of it I can't even uninstall). My laptop does have a recovery manager on it, but if I were to do that, I would still have all the unwanted OEM garbage on it. That's why I would rather do a clean installation with a key that is not OEM, rather than use the recovery manager.I'm not exactly in any boat to go out and buy a new key, but unfortunately that is seeming to be my only option as of now. Is there any way I can obtain a key for Windows 7 Professional for free

I purchased Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (as a student) and created an ISO, then burned it onto a DVD. I installed Windows 7 Pro on a system previously running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
I had no problems until this past Sunday. At first, I had a "BOOTMGR is missing" error. Since I had "custom" installed Windows 7 on the same hard drive I had Vista on without formatting the drive, I thought that formatting the drive and reinstalling Windows 7 would solve the problem, but it has not.
My current boot error provides the following information:
File: BootBCD
Status: 0xc0000034
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information.
I've read several posts with solutions for problems similar to this and most have suggested first trying to have the Windows 7 install disc try to identfy boot problems. I have done this and experienced an interesting problem.
When it scans the drive for boot errors, none are found, but I noticed it says my Windows installation is on the D: drive, but when I am actually logged into Windows 7, the installation is on the C: drive. In addition, I have also tried a suggestion to use command prompt and fix the BCD (bootrec /RebuildBCD), but it still has not changed anything.
I am really clueless where to proceed from here. I have held off from reinstalling anything onto my system in case any solutions presented require me to reformat or lose any of my applications/settings.
The only other thing I can think of that is potentially causing this error is that my secondary hard drive (B:) is listed as Disk 0 under Disk Management, while the drive with my Windows 7 installation (C:) is listed as Disk 1.

I just bought a Dell XPS 8300 that came with Windows7 Home Premium. There is a chance I will need to upgrade to Professional. Is there any issues upgrading from a Dell loaded version of Windows? I have the reinstall disc that came with the PC.Side note... if I were to upgrade to Professional, and then some point down the line have to reformat my drive, would I be able to use my Dell disc with Home Premium and then use my upgrade to Professional again? Or would I have to buy it again?

I am building a new PC. It will not ship with an OS. I am getting the Free windows 7 from Microsoft (the student deal). The only thing is, i can only get Professional. Will that make any difference in gaming? I am getting this PC to do my video editing and to play games. Will professional perform worse when i play games than the other versions?
