Windows 7 Pro X64 - Unexplained Crashes In Certain Programs
Mar 27, 2011
I recently installed Windows 7 Professional x64, and suddenly I have all sorts of problems with programs crashing that never crashed before. I first noticed this in FL Studio 9, It would run just fine for a while, but if I was working on a particularly cpu heavy section, suddenly the scope maxes out as if my sound card had quit or something, but this wasn't the case as sound was still working, I had installed from the file I had used on XP Professional x86.
I tried downloading a more recent one, and it still crashed in the exact same way. The weird thing is, after you force the program to exit any other program will have strange graphical issues, WLM will turn solid white, and you cant fix it, Chrome will gets all streaky whenever you scroll up or down, and if you do anything that uses it, flash will crash. The only way to make it quit doing all of this is to reboot. I figured maybe it was just some sort of bug in FL9, so I tried FL10, and it does the same thing.
This was kind of disappointing because fl9 is the main program I built this computer for, my old one just couldn't handle it, and this one worked fine with it on XP. Anyways, I thought this was exclusive to FL, but apparently its not; I downloaded the demo for Just Cause 2 off of Steam, and I played it for about 5 minutes, then it does the exact same thing... I wonder if it's a DirectX issue?

I recently noticed that dialogue boxes of certain programs use a wrong font and I have tried everything I could find on the web to change it to no avail, e.g.resetting font settings to default. Best explained by an example. Look at the below dialogue box, the way it SHOULD look:As of a few weeks, it now looks this way:This is an example for program IrFanView. Other programs like Quicken act the same. The snap shots were taking from different PCs, so the different color theme can be explained

No matter how many times I launch Skype or iTunes, they just won't get added to the Start Menu's Recent Programs list.

So over the past few days it seems that I have lost control of my C drive and all of its contents.I can no longer properly access it, and everything opens in "Read-Only". I can no longer install programs or modify existing programs.According to the security permissions, I have none. Nor can I change my permissions because in order to change them I need access to the C drive, which I don't have.I have tried creating other users and putting them in the admin group, etc. but nothing is working.

Every time I start up normally into Win7 everything is fine for a couple of minutes. I'll open a few programs, then after a few minutes of them running they'll hang and enter the 'not responding' mode. (firefox, steam, IE). If I don't already have task manager running the system will basically be unresponsive and the only thing I can do is reboot manually. If I have task manager running I can sometimes end a process or two but some will remain open & unresponsive. Any programs that are working (including task manager) disappear when I minimize them and no programs appear on the task bar, (though they can be retrieved with alt+tab).
McAfee also has 'real time scanning' permanently disabled.
This is all very strange as there was nothing wrong four days ago when I was away, and the symptoms occured within 2-3 minutes of booting up this evening. The system runs in safe mode.

As described here: 'Microsoft is offering users running Windows 7 a fix designed to resolve issues related to Windows Explorer. According to the software giant, Windows Explorer can crash in certain scenarios, a glitch which also seems to be impacting Windows Server 2008 R2, not just Windows 7. It appears that the issue is not exactly new, since it affects the RTM versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as the two operating systems after their first upgrade was released. Essentially, the release of Service Pack 1 doesn't seem to have resolved Windows Explorer crashes. "This issue usually occurs when you perform some operations that are related to the taskbar or to the Address bar," the Redmond company revealed.

I have a partitioned disk with windows 64 bit on one partition and windows 32 bit on another. Whenever I boot up the 32 bit partition it either goes to whitescreen straightaway, or crashes just after login in.

I have Windows 7 64 bit laptop - and suffered two crashes today, while it was generally idling. The only new thing today is that there were some Windows update last night and an Adobe Flash update this morning.

I'm having a problem with a new computer I bought with Windows 7 (64bit) installed. At seemingly random points in time it will crash on me completely. I've managed to find out from a dumpfile that the likely cause of this problem is something called Rdyboost.sys I've managed to find it listed as a driver in windows/System32. Apart from that though I'm not sure how to find it, and was wondering.

I've been using Win 7 64-bit since the beta and no issues at all - until I installed SP1. Now I get constant lockups and it seems to be related to the video driver about 50% of the time. I've done a clean install of the latest driver, tried removing SP1, done a system restore to before SP1 (clean driver install after that too) and nothing seems to work. I'm thinking I'll have to reformat (which I really don't want to do).

The windows logo on the loading screen doesnt show. So the first step I tried was trying to boot into safe mode but there is problem one. I cannot boot into safe mode becasue whenever I hit F8 it does nothing and just boots into windows like normal. I know my keyboard works because if I hit F12 to list my boot device options it works. So since I could not boot into safe mode I used my win 7 dvd to try a system restore. That didnt work, neither did the repair windows startup option. After all this I took my hdd out connected it to my laptop and then ran a check disk. It didnt find a errors just missing files.

About a week or two ago, when I tried to start up my computer, at some point in the start up process (before my desktop was displayed), a blue screen of death popped up and i had to restart my computer. I didn't think much of it at the time since my computer started up fine after a restart.But since then, its been happening more and more frequently. I've noticed that what usually happens is I'll leave my computer for sometime and it will go into sleep mode, and then when I try to start it up again, it won't wake back up. So I'll turn it off, and when I turn it back on, I get a BSOD again. By now i have to try to start it about 4 or 5 times before it finally starts up all the way.
Also, occasionally the BSOD will pop up while I'm actually working on my computer.Also of note is that its not the same STOP error code every time. I've started writing them down today and this is the stop codes I've seen so far today...[CODE]

I have been experiencing BSOD nastiness for the past two weeks. It seems to have started by one of two things. I tried to download a trial version of Corel PSP 4x. This file was downloaded at 7:30 PM on 1-10-12. I opened the file, used it a little, and went to bed. No problems!. That night, Windows downloaded a bunch of updates at about 3am. My wife used the computer that day with no problems. Later that day, another batch of windows updates was installed. That is when trouble started. The updates were:
KB2584146, 2644615, 2631813, 890830, 2538242.
What I have tried (may not be in precise chronological order): I tried to uninstall PSP x4. The uninstall crashed, leaving a partial install. I did a memory test. No problems found.I did a system restore to a restore point before the PSP install, but I did not immediately update the windows updates.Based on the reliability monitor, it looks like this worked until the updates were reinstalled automatically on 1/14. (Maybe, it is a little hard to tell.)Since then I have updated the BOIS (megatrends m4a89TD pro usb3 from version 1101 to version 1901.)Still having problems today. DMP files attached, PerfMon files attached. Misc Info per "BSOD Posting Page"Windows 7 64 bit retail version installed on new build in Feb. 2011.Other system specs included in profile.

I've been having problems for a few weeks with a crashing computer. When I tried to open "Programs and Features", it would crash every time. No crash dumps. No BSOD. Just a hard reboot like some yanked the plug out. It would also happen randomly.
After running countless tests on hardware, checking for viruses, and TWO re-format and clean installs, I finally isolated the problem to iTunes. I was just about finishing my 2nd rebuild, and it was working just fine. I installed the iTunes 10 64-bit version, and BAM, it started crashing. I then installed Revo Uninstaller, and removed iTunes and all of the other Apple crap from my machine. Voila! No more problems.
I would like to be able to have iTunes installed so that I can manage my iPods, but can't seem to have it on there without hosing up my system.

i believe updates were installed on friday night. yesterday, i went to go to system restore, and pick the may 19th backup to restore to, but it froze before i could pick it -_- and i just gave up and waited until today. but as i went to go restore a while ago, the back ups that were shown yesterday no longer appear. the hard drive failed and was replaced about a month and a half ago (SMART error i believe) and it has been working fine until saturday. the freezing has only gotten worse today, currently i am trying to watch a film for history class and my laptop freezes every 10 or 15 minutes, requiring me to restart the computer manually.

I have recently bought fallout 3 game of the year edition for my Samsung r580 laptop; it runs on windows 7 home premium 32bit. I have successfully installed the game and can play it for about 2-3 minutes before it crashes. Nothing can get me out of the crash except ctrl alt delete. I have gotten the updated version 1.7 but the problem still continues.

I decided to give Win 7 a shot so I set up a dual boot with 7 Professional 64bit on a new partition and my old XP SP3 on another. This is my media computer with all my movies and TV shows that my 4 other XP computers pull from for viewing.I set up a workgroup, see it fine from the XP computers and can start watching shows on the xp machines but after 8-15 minutes the stream crashes. I boot back into XP on the media computer and stream is fine forever. I"m using Nero 8 for the viewing on the xp computers. Have searched the internet with no solution.

It's about 6-7 months that my sister has an HP laptop running Win7, whereas I had an old desktop running WinXP. The HP never had problems of any sort, never crashed, never had BSODs etc: the only crash I remeber was triggered when I tried to connect in a local network my PC to hers to swap files. The effect was an almost instantaneous BSOD on her HP, triggered again when I tried the same procedure, and since then I never tried to repeat the connection.
Recently (less than a month ago) I bought a new PC, this one running Win7 altogether, very stable, smooth and without problems of sort. However, since my new computer arrived, my sister's HP sometimes crashes without apparent reason. It seems that it's my very PC the cause: some days ago, I purposedly left it turned off for 3 consecutive days, and her HP never crashed.

My windows 7 freezes when scrolling, either using the mouse to scroll on screen or using the mouse wheel.It does this almost every time, except sometimes when I scroll extremely slowly.The problem has persisted for months.The crash results in a striped screen.After a little while I can usually restart in Safe mode.After running for sometime in safe mode I can often restart and launch windows successfully.It runs sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for less. until I try scrolling at normal speed, then it crashes again.I have had the machine checked over for hardware issues and apparently there are none.I have been advised to do a clean re-install of Windows 7. i am reluctant to do this if there might be another way.

I own an older Win 7 X64 PC. The thing runs fine without problems except when I try to schedule it for a disk error check (Chkdsk) upon restart? When I schedule that the PC is able to reboot, start up and go into error checking and finish part 1, but when it gets to part two it crashes about 25% of the way through it? When I say crashes, what happens is the monitor light goes from blue to amber and the thing just sits there like it went to sleep. No matter what I do it won't come out of this? If I hit the restart button it starts with three beeps and just sits there. I have to completely shut the PC off, let it sit there for a few seconds then restart it.
Once I restart the PC I have to cancel out of the disk check or else it will go through the same thing again. Once I cancel out fo the disk check it boots up and runs fine without any problems that I'm aware of?
How do I get this PC to run a disk check (chkdsk) all the way through to completion without it crashing? Should I just put the thing back to a version that was working (from backup)

I purchased a larger drive (Western Digital) and I have installed Windows 7 onto it. So I'm trying to use my same license key on the new drive as my other drive and I think it won't let me do this. My old smaller drive has the message "Windows 7 Build 7600 This copy of windows in not genuine". When I attempt to boot into the new drive, windows start up repair starts and attempts to repair the thing and it can't fix it. After the initial installation of windows I was able to get into the new drive. But as soon as I booted after installing firefox and chrome and the IE9, it installed updates which caused it to crash. What am I supposed to do? I want to be able to boot into either drive, obviously I bought a larger drive because I'm running out of space on the old drive..

I have an Acer Aspire One AO725-0845 that uses Windows 7. I believe that Windows has crashed because a message pops up every time I log in saying that Windows is not genuine and I need to download a real version of it. The only problem is I can't download anything or log into anything except the computer itself.

I downloaded Adobe Shockwave Player which is needed to view a file (.swf), and it appears in the control panel as an installed program. However, it does not appear as a default program when I am trying to use the "associate a file type or protocal with a specific program" even when I press the browse list. The program also does not appear when I "right click" the file itself and use the open command. The program also does not appear in the list of programs on the "All Progams: list when clicking the windows icon. So, can someone tell me how to get programs onto the default list....(Please, I have seen a number of threads that talk about how to "set" the default program which I am well aware of...I need to know how to get a program to be recognized and incoroporated as part of the list).
