Win 7 was freshly installed on my laptop on a brand new 160 gb hard drive. 1st fresh install was Win Home ver 7 32bit. After installing 32 bit , realizied I mistakenly installed Win 7 32 bit Home version. Product key revealed original software was Win 7 Pro 64bit. Keyboard problem did not occur with 32 bit version. Once I installed the Pro 64 bit version the keyboard was non responsive.
Keyboard worked fine with 32 bit install and unresponsive after 64 bit install. Touch pad works.
I carefully removed and installed brand new laptop keyboard. Same identical problem. Non responsive laptop keyboard. Suspect this is a software problem but unable to know which/what software driver may be compatible with 64bit Win 7Pro version.
I just built a new system and installed MS windows 7 64bit home premium. Have issue that ever so often my mouse and keyboard stop working when on websites. If I plug into a different slot on the motherboard, it shows no power to my mouse. I am not sure whether it is my Motherboardor the power supply. It seems to happen when there is animation on the website.[CODE]
I recently installed windows 7 on my desktop. During boot up I can use my keyboard, but once windows loads the keyboard is unresponsive. I've tried a wireless and wired keyboard. I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse combo in which the mouse still works but still no keys.
I got a new machine recently and it all works fine, except the operating system seems to randomly freeze. When it does the only way I have found to get out of it is to manually plug it out and restartOn freeze the keyboard and mouse become entirely unresponsive, the cursor does not move, nor do either click buttons do anything, if I'm typing somewhere the text does not appear, and Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't bring up the usual screenI'm running windows 7 home premium on a 64 bit machine. I haven't found anything quite like this problem around so I thought it deserved a new topic by itselfI can't think of what to do to determine the cause or any potential solution. Everything's up to date. I think all the drivers are too. I put in different virus software 'cause I thought that might be itdit: The last time it happened I tried putting the keyboard and mouse into different USB ports, but that didn't work.Edit2: I just went to my device manager and manually checked for updates for all the drivers, and it turned out my graphics card needed an update (I updated it myself about three weeks ago so I discarded this as a potential problem). So I installed the update.
So last week I received my brand new HP Envy 15, with a Core i5 540m (2.5-3.3ghz) Ati Radeon 5830, 4gigs of DDR3 ram, and a 500gb HDD. (Of course running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.) And everything was running awesomely- Until yesterday when I went to turn it on and when it got to the login screen everything on screen was gigantic, and my keyboard and touchpad were unresponsive.
I tried using a usb keyboard and still no luck. Booting into safemode yields the same results, even without networking. Yet when booted it up disabling driver signature enforcement, it worked fine, except everything was slow and my sound didn't work. Is there any way I can boot up regularly again and get my sound working?
I recently purchased a Microsoft Wireless 3000 keyboard new. After plugging in the USB receiver and installing the batteries to the keyboard, it seemed everything was going to work. The noise came on that a USB device had been plugged in and it then installed the proper drivers. When I tried to type or use any function on the keyboard, though, it was unresponsive-the keys don't work.
I then tried the following troubleshooting: 1) unplugged my older keyboard (Logitech Office Pro Keyboard PS/2). Then I tried rebooting with it still I unplugged. 2) Inserted the installation disc that came with the new keyboard. I window popped up saying that the program (intelliType) cannot be opened because it is being blocked for compatibility issues. (that is all it said-no cause stated). Restarted computer and tried it again-same outcome. 3) Downloaded the latest driver from the Microsoft website . I made sure it was the exact format for my computer (Windows 7, 64-bit, Keyboard Version 2.0). Installed it fine. I am able to open the intellitype program and configure the various key functions. No response from keyboard though. Restarted computer-nothing changed. 4) Uninstalled (what I could) the Logitech software SetPoint. From my perusal on the internet, it seems it is a very difficult program to uninstall. I deleted the folders from my c: Drive. It was not listed in 'Programs and Features' 5) Uninstalled the intellitype software, rebooted, and let the OS install the generic drivers for the Microsoft keyboard. 6) I went into the BIOS and noticed that the USB Keyboard function was disabled. I enabled it and the other USB functions (mouse, etc.) options were enabled. 7) Replaced the batteries twice-both brand new. The green light next to the battery symbol on the keyboard comes on for a moment after I install the batteries. 8) Tried different USB ports for the wireless receiver. Each time there is that sound that notifies a USB device has been plugged in. The OS even recognizes that it is a wireless receiver. Rebooted computer.
I even tried rebooting with the old keyboard disconnected but I am forced to plug it back in eventually as I have no other way of typing. The keyboard is recognized in device manager (Microsoft Hardware USB Keyboard, Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Keyboard (IntelliType Pro), Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Detection Driver). Currently, the IntelliType software is loaded and the SetPoint software uninstalled. Could it be a faulty keyboard?
i am currently unable to work on assignments on my own computer or enjoy games because it freezes completely sporadically requiring a hard boot. essentially the computer freezes on me and the keyboard becomes disabled and unresponsive. the mouse cursor on the screen slows down, like the sensitivity was turned down 95%, and moves sluggishly, and then i know the freeze is coming. the computer desktop freezes completely, the keyboard becomes disabled and sometimes the screen turns a faint transparent white depending on what application i am running. the cursor then turns into an animated hour glass that i can move around the screen totally normally, with no lag, but everything is unresponsive. i then need to do a hard boot and end up frusturated, tempted to through my computer at the wall.i've scanned the computer with at least 10 different reputable antivirus programs and i have repaired all the registry errors. i've uninstalled programs i no longer need and searched all over solutions, to no avail. [code] i looked at event viewer to try to see a log of the issue but the only error it reported was id 41, from the hard boot. when i'm on Internet and it locks up permanently, the Internet video continues to play.also the freezing is totally random and sometimes i can go for 5h without it happening, other times it freezes up within 10 minutes. usually it freezes up between 10-30 mins of system starting up.

When I first got it, it arrived without the video card so I used a temp one. The computer started crashing, so I thought it was because the video card was old. I borrowed another one from a friend and uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new ones. The same thing happened with this one. I decided to run some test so I downloaded prime95, memtest86+, and a video benchmark. Everything passed except for prime95. Memtest ran for 11 hours with no errors and prime95 crashes after a couple of minutes. I returned the motherboard because I thought it was faulty, but the same thing happens with replacement. I tried moving the memory sticks to different slots and using one and then the other. I tried installing windows 7 32bit and 64bit. I ran the diagnostic test for the cpu and everything passed. I have installed the latest updated drivers.
So if it's not the motherboard, memory, cpu, nor gpu, what could it be. Can someone please help me identify the problem(s). I don't know where the .dmp went but here is a screen shot [URL] and I will attach the PERFMON HTML file.
My EEEPC 1201N laptop is unresponsive after a few minutes after loading my desktop. It's running on Windows 7 Starter.Before this happened, I saw a message just after the boot display and before the welcome/log-in screen something like: C:Windows....Registry..I can't remember what exactly it was because I thought it was just an update (but it was the first ever type of message update I've seen compared to previous update messages).I did a system disk check scan, and no errors were found. I also did an avast! boot system scan and the log was:File C:UsersAsus EEEPC 1201NApp DataLocalTempkB9fdCry. exe. part| >Quick Time. msi |>QuickTime.cab|>QTInfo.exe Error 42127 {CAB archive is corrupted}Cyber link temp update file was infected by "Win 32: Trojan-gen." I experience the OS crashed for a few times, but this is the first time it became unresponsive.I would like to know how can I detect whether other system files were corrupted/infected that causes the OS to be unresponsive and fix the issue.
Yesterday after booting my laptop, I filled in my log in details. They were submitted correctly and the Welcome screen appeared whith the loading circle. Then the screen went black and all that was left was a responsive cursor switching between its normal and loading skin.I must have rebooted ten times, and the same results have appeared. I managed to login after an hour one time but that just wont do.
My HP Pavilion DM4 laptop is currently un responsive, stuck in the midst of a Windows update (screen showing "Please do not power off or unplug your machine, Installing update 2 of 2") for more than 16 hours. I've tried to hard reboot it by pressing the power button but it doesn't work (the same screen with the Update message just keeps displaying). I'm ready to take the battery out but wanted to check here first to find out what you think I should do.
Here is some add'l background. This laptop was experiencing issues w/the keyboard and mouse not working after a Windows update was applied a couple of months ago (didn't realize it at the time). I tried several things to try to fix it before I realized I could do a system restore and just go back to a time before the update was applied (sometime in Aug or Sept). I then shut off the automatic Windows updates and ran each update separately (there were about 16 critical and 6 recommended updates), rebooted and checking for issues in between each update. I should have written down exactly which update this was (I believe it was from Oct 9 and related to security issues w/Microsoft Windows).
I bought my Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop, windows 7, intel i3 core processor about 3 weeks ago, and it ran perfectly, handled all my ridiculous multitasking well, and was really light compared to others I've had. This morning my nephew was using it to play Skyrim (I digress, sometimes I sneak onto his game files for a little fun) and....well he has some anger issues, but that's not what this is about. Something upset him and he slammed the lower left side of the laptop pretty dern hard. Nothing broke on the outside, but suddenly the computer became unresponsive, and I had to force shut down the whole thing. When it started back up it wouldn't....start back up. I got an error message saying "Windows could not start successfully, we recommend you launch startup repair to try and fix the problem. Well I did that about 2 dozen times in a row with failures each time, till finally, much to my joy, it successfully started back up. Except now whenever I try to open a new program, it sometimes has periods of unresponsiveness, and some things like Skyrim can't be opened at all.
i have an acer laptop and i have 3 usb ports. 2 of the 3 work, the other doesnt pick up any devices i plug into it. i can still use it to charge things, but it wont open them and the devices work properly in other drives and computers. but since it is delivering power, im thinking its some kind of software issue. is there a way i can fix this without buying any expensive software?
Recently both my PC and Laptop have started to freeze intermittently when surfing the net. By freezing I mean that the computer becomes completely unresponsive with the screen stuck on whatever page I was on at the point of the freeze - the mouse cursor stops moving, the clock stops ticking, no response to control-alt-delete, etc. Nothing I can do but power down and re-boot. I have tried just leaving the PC for an hour but it does not recover.
This happens regularly but intermittently and at random intervals. I can rarely go 30 mins of surfing without a freeze. On my laptop the fan really ramps up when this freeze happens - as if the CPU usage has gone up to 100%. However, the on screen CPU gage gadget does not change as the whole screen is frozen. When I log back in there is nothing in the windows event logs for the time of the failure.
The PC is on Windows XP and the laptop is Windows 7. I use a mix of IE9 and Chrome on the laptop and IE8 and Chrome on the PC. The freeze happens using any of these browsers. The only thing that I can see that the PC and Laptop have in common is that they are using the same router (PC via cable and laptop via wi-fi) and I have Norton 360 and Norton Family installed on both. How I can track down the cause of this issue? (Disabling Norton Family makes no difference.) Any other logs or logging tools that I could use?
A Compaq Presario CQ62 Laptop running windows 7. I accidentally spilled wine on it and the keyboard no longer worked.I purchased a Microsoft wired desktop 600, but it has no function keys. On the original keyboard I used Fn E12 to connect to a network, but with the new keyboard I can no longer connect to a network. There must be a workaround?
right now I'm currently trying to find out whats wrong with a keyboard that is on a laptop, after the computer starts there are some script errors, I don't know exactly what they are but I ran combo fix without safe mode and restarted the scripts went away...and it started working after restarting a couple times it started to work then restarted more the scripts came back and the keyboard stopped, even in safe mode but after five or so minutes the keyboard was able to type again, I checked the device managers and everything is update and no error, I ran a combo fix and have the report if you guys want to see it let me know, Its an HP DV6 series with 64-bit windows 7 OS, I'm stumped I have no idea whats up, I'm ready to just put in the recovery disks and see whats up, but he has like 250 gigs worth of files Games etc, Can I back it up to a hard drive and install go back to where it was normally or can that be a problem?
I have just installed windows 7 on my Asus x58l laptop and the keyboard doesn't work properly. The only keys that work are AEIOU but put them in this format: This happened even during the setup stage when asked to input a computer name so I just called it ��.*Then when I did some of the windows updates and restarted it as required it worked ok. Then, I continued with the other updates and it happened again and continues to do so now.*I have checked the keyboard settings, the regional and language settings and the device driver settings and these are all ok.*
I spilled cereal on my laptop and half the keys stopped working. Obviously, I need to get the keyboard replaced, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to restart the computer without using the keyboard? I am currently stuck on the Windows Error Recovery screen and since the enter key doesn't work, I can't get it to start normally, in safe mode, etc.
I don't know for sure the the Win7 update killed the track-pad, but about a week or so ago after I let it run I've lost the track-pad function completely and the keyboard is erratic. If I accidentally hit the Caps Lock key the keyboard stops responding. I discovered if I open the keyboard control panel and just change a parameter, like how fast the cursor blinks and APPLY then I get the keyboard back without rebooting. I downloaded the track-pad driver, says it's the same as installed but the system no longer recognizes it's there in the control panel. This is an HP G60 series laptop running Win 7 Home.
I'm downloading TSG to add that info, but searching I see many people have had similar problems like this with no solution on various brands of laptops and Windows.
i'm running win7 here and was wondering if i can tell it to come out of stand by via the USB keyboard/mouse? at the moment, it only comes out of stand by or 'sleep' if i touch the actual laptop keyboard.
The keys on my friend's laptop running Windows 7 x64 are directly working as shortcuts..!!! i.e if u press R on home screen directly RUN Dialog Box opens and hence it's become a head ache as we're unable to use the keyboard normally..!!! How to restore normal operation of the keys..??
I spilt water on my laptop keyboard and now non of the keys work, i bought a wireless keyboard, but cant install it because i cant get past the logon screen.
I'm having problems in my computer which I'm failing to identify. The symptoms: Computer turns unresponsive. It seems like a windows explorer crash or maybe a hardware problem, but I don't know how to be sure of which.
Recently my computer started freezing it completely freezes and becomes unresponsive and I have to hold down the power button to reboot, so my first attempt was to scan the hardware I ran a Pc-Check diagnostics and all the hardware passed I then completely formatted the hard drive and restored the computer. Once Windows 7 completely installed I installed the missing wireless driver however, after using the computer for about 15min it froze again. I then disassemble the laptop and did some internal cleaning I blew out the dust from the heat sink and applied new thermal paste to the processor. Even after that the problem still remains. Now there is a catch when I boot the computer in safe mode it doesn't freeze even after leaving it on for 5hrs so I don't know what the problem is in normal boot.

I turned on my computer last week after it working fine and it all the sudden became very slow and unresponsive to the point of no use. So i reinstalled windows using the recovery partition. After reinstalling windows my computer is still very slow, often becomes unresponsive, windows updates will not download or take absolutely a lifetime to download. I am at a point where i do not know what to do. It is mid semester in school and this computer is important.
I've had this windows 7 laptop for less than a year now, with no problems at all. I7 processor, good speed/graphics etc. Recently however (about a week ago) I turned it on and although the internet works, very specific (and all seemingly windows related) problems are reoccurring and making the laptop unusable. The first thing i notice when I start it up (I'll write it all because I can't seem to google the right solution for this) is that i get a black screen after entering login details for about 2 mins (used to be very quick). Then it loads and i notice the wifi icon doesn't show connected or anything it just has the loading circle over it and it stays like this (even now as I'm clearly on the internet typing this).
No gadgets launch but eventually i get my desktop. This is were it starts getting annoying because, if I open windows update the window opens blank and just freezes, not the whole computer just the update window, same for msconfig, system restore and other windows programs such as windows media player. I can view installed updates (and I'm thinking removing one of these might be the solution as it was around the time I updated windows that this started happening) which is strange as it seems some sections aren't working at all but some are.
To top it off I turned it on about 5 days ago and had the "this is not a genuine windows product" in the bottom right of my background and thought "that's annoying I'll have to fix it tommorow". So i turn my laptop on the next day, ready to fix it having done nothing, and everything is running perfect, i can see my gadgets, I can open WMP and i can look for updates. Restart my computer later that evening and i'm back to the point of nothing working and still there today. I've done a full system virus scan, a boot scan, a defrag and everything.
Initial symptoms began when I decided to give Win 8 a try. Immediately after the Windows 8 install my system would become unresponsive/freeze, but never had a BSOD. Mouse was still functional but unable to actually do anything. Forced me to power cycle the PC. I ran memory diagnostics and attempted to use the repair options built into the OS, but no resolution.After trying to fix the Windows 8 freezing I decided to go back to Win-7 HP 64Bit. I performed a clean install keeping only personal files and the windows.old old folder. With the new install I ran all the needed updates in Update manager and updated all the drivers as needed. For the first couple days all was well and then the OS would freeze/hang/become unresponsive... required power cycling to reboot. As of late, the system would boot to log-in screen but would either freeze when I typed a character or moved the mouse. Other times it would hang after entering my password and never load the desktop. There have been times when I couldn't even boot to safe mode[with networking] or [cmd].
So today is throwing me for a loop because I am on the affected computer and all seems to be operating perfect.I am at a loss for understanding, why be broke for 1.5 - 2 weeks and now suddenly work like a charm?I ran SFC and have errors that cannot be fixed automatically. Event viewer has a lot of friendly red icons and a few more mellow yellows. So I am asking for help in resolving the issues that exist with my OS, hoping to learn and avoid installing the Backup image i have from late last year.
I've been troubleshooting this computer for some time now. At first, I disabled RAID because of the blue screens and I found that one was bad and the second of the RAID 1 appeared fine. Well, I installed XP to ensure it would work and that was extremely slow. My client didn't have a disc to XP MCE, but instead bought Windows 7. The installation took about 12 hours and the system is often unresponsive. On resource monitor, the 2.13Ghz Conroe CPU is barely tapped and the 2GB of RAM is barely at 30%. However, the system takes forever to boot and it very often stops responding for a period of time.
I did my research and found out that this model--original specs--can handle 7 better than this. I told the client it was probably an HDD error, as it seems to hang everytime the system must access the HDD. I can't even run the Index to find out what the systems rating is. I mem tested the RAM and chkdsk the HDDs before removing the first because of its clear faults in its inability to hold an OS installation. I recently installed the 2.5.3 BIOS update, but I haven't had a chance to install a newer version of Intel Matrix Manager.
