Windows 7 Reinstallation Error - Freezes And Crashes At 70 Percent
Jun 5, 2012
I downloaded windows 8 consumure preview and I wanted to reinstall windows 7 so I get my windows 7 disk and hit reinstall. When it was about 70% done and it freezes then it crashes I turn it back on and a loop hole appears and it saids this message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart installation". I hit ok. It restarts and the same message pops up.
i have win 64 running on my computer.i try and run Direct x diagnostic.i click the 64 bit button and it freezes and crashes.when i try again iget
DxDiag has detected that there might have been a problem accessing Direct3D the last time this programme was used. Would you like to bypass Direct3d this time.As i am looking fir an error with direct x when running sims i want to view the 3d info
I have the same problem on my HP laptop, suddenly all system freezes and I cannot do anything except hold shut down button. I have monitored my CPU performance on startup and it goes crazy when my avast anti-virus is updating almost about 70% of cpu usage.
Technical details: Celeron Dual-Core CPU T3100 @ 1.90 GHz, 3gb ram, Mobile intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
I haven't done anything with programs, have run ccleaner few times, also Disk Clean up and defragmenter. Scanned with the same avast scanner and Trend Micro House call, everything was fine. But never done any cleaning in 'fan' region.
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.
I've posted about this issue several times and still have not found a solution unfortunately. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed on my machine and I experience freezing and BSOD errors very frequently. The freezing occurs way more often than the BSOD does (by the way I would include a mini dump file, but there are no recent ones). The freezing is what's driving me mad as it happens all the time.
Just to rule out a few things, here is a brief list of solutions I've tried:
1. Updated all my drivers first and foremost.
2. Changed my power options from balanced to high performance.
3. Installed ALL motherboard drivers (chipsets, etc.) and flashed my BIOS to the most current update as a person on this forum told me to do so.
Also, the freezing usually seems to occur during some kind of activity involving the internet such as watching a video, playing a game, browsing a web page. It's pretty random actually, sometimes it will just freeze at the desktop. Recently it's been freezing when the computer has gone idle (when the screen goes black) after a while.
About 75% (3 out of 4 ave.) of attempts to start / boot results in BSOD right after I enter password to login into my account. The error codes are different sometimes but only one I could catch = "Bad Pool Error". I have added no new hardware. Have tried all I could find for a solution without results. Including Pre-boot sys access 4118, sys file check, full scan for virus several times. all the usual.
Since today, I've been having random freezes in Windows 7. When it freezes, all I can do is move the mouse cursor, windows explorer happens to be crashing at that point & there is no way for me to ctrl-alt-delete or ctrl-shift-escape myself out of the situation. I have to restart the PC only to be confronted with the problem again shortly after. These freezes happen at very random times. For example when I opened up the start menu and typed "cmd" and pressed enter, it froze.
Or just when I simply started up my PC and when my first action was pressing "Cancel" in an application window, it froze as well. It also froze just opening the start menu & froze opening my User (Tom) folder. I decided that it might be because of some update or one of the applications I've installed since today, so I decided to do a system restore to yesterday, which removed those applications. This however, did not fix the random freezes. I also checked my PC component temperatures in the ASUS BIOS, they happen to be fine. I'm on the PC right now, it runs fine in safe-mode.

I am running Windows 7 and frequently get a screen freeze while playing Battlefield Vietnam II or Battlefield II only. This happens quite often and I see no patterns except for these 2 games. I have updated my video drivers. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1)
I've been using my PC fine for the last 3 years. A month or so ago I updated to Windows 7 Ultimate x64. That too has been running fine, then today, after about 3-4 hours of use, in the middle of a game, my PC screen suddenly got weird wavy lines and colours all over it and crashed. Long story short this has now happened about 10 times. Interestingly, I thought it was a graphics card problem, so I tried it on my HD TV (both TV and monitor connected via HDMI) and it did it on the TV too. I then uninstalled the nvidia (8800gt) drivers and restarted my PC. It works fine in safe mode, and in normal mode, but I can't change my resolution to 1680x1050, (it's native resolution) without installing the nvidia drivers.
I don't know if the problem is the drivers, (but never had an issue before?) or with resolution, (monitor problem?) Every time I do install the nvidia drivers the PC restarts normally, screen looks fine, and the PC seems to run, until I click on anything with the mouse and then the wavy lines and weird colours appear again and I can't CTL-ALT-DEL, I have to hard reset it every time. Once I left it for 5 mins. and moved the mouse a little every min. or so and that was OK, but as soon as I click on anything, it freezes and artifacts again. Also, my antivirus flashed red a few times and so did the windows clock in the bottom right corner of the screen, (very odd!) when the PC first starts windows.
That made me think it could be a virus, (even though I'm very careful about what I DL), but I had Avast run through a deep clean check and it found nothing. I also tried to get Win 7 to repair itself, which did nothing either! I've tried reinstalling the drivers, using newer and older nvidia drivers and I've tried to install my HG216 monitor driver, but since it's a few years old there is no official Win 7 support and all I have is an inf. file I can't install on Win 7. I haven't included a dump file, I know a fair amount about computers but I haven't worked out how to do that yet. Also, since I have to hard reboot everytime, in my event view the only errors listed seem to be about 'power failure', so I don't know if the bug or whatever would show up in the dump file?
OK so first of all, I had to reinstall my dell inspiron n5010 windows 7. Everything was normal ( I'm not so good at this but I've done it before) till after 30 of important window updates this error occurs. I don't think I did anything wrong. I tried to use the installation disc again to click"repair your computer" but I couldn't find this option. I cant even opnen windows on save mode... please if you can help me I would really appreciate it. I still have the 2 cds for the installation and the "drives and utilities" too.
"Windows Boot Manager:Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:*
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings, and then click next 3. Click "repair your computer.
"Status: 0xc000000e"
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."
every time i try to install windows 7 on my new build, i do a clean install, however it spends about a second on the copying files part, then waits a few minutes before it starts expanding files. it hangs at 0% for a few more minutes then it will start accelerating. it will crash at random points while it is "expanding files".
the crashes vary, sometimes the display will explode and look lagged out then look like small tiles, the display sometimes turns red where shadows are as well, it also likes to just freeze. it frequently likes to freeze at 76 or 46%.
i had 7 installed one time when i kept my mouse moving constantly throughout the installation, but then the freezes would happen when i would boot into normal windows, but not safe mode.
But.. Its much worse. Is it anyway i can fix This problem? ... With Command Promt ... uhh Deleting from the registry ( Now I'll pay much attention) Or Anything?? Free software? For my College I did a paper... like, 6 pages... me thinking my computer is fine. Then Boom It Crashed
I just bought a nvidia geforce gt 630 2gb and installed it's program... It works fine with games BUT it sometimes takes a long time to start up ,Extreamly frequent freezes and then either resumes or blue screens even when just windows is open, when i run on safe mode the pc works fine steps that i have done :
i installed a new windows i cleaned the case with a vacume cleaner and a brush i upgraded the driver i made sure the pc isn't overheated i made sure the fans work all the time i made sure the psu is enough
notice: the pc has a higher percent of freezing while playing games
I recently reinstalled my OS and installed the AMD Drivers for my 5830s(crossfired) and they seem to be causing freezes. By freeze I mean that my computer will lock up completely and I cannot move my mouse and I have to then hard restart.
I have tried several solutions, such as reinstalling windows and reinstalling the graphics drivers after removing them in safe mode with driver sweeper. I have tried old versions and the latest versions do not install. I can boot into safe mode successfully and that is how I am asking this.

I recieved my Sony Vaio Windows 7 disks today, put the first one in and it started doing some install thing for supplement disk (said 1/12) but then froze for ages, so I tried closing it. When I attempted to start the installation again, I now receive this error:"The supplement disk utility has stopped and cannot continue because the main C: drive partition information is not avaliable. Restore your computer to the original factory settings and try using the supplement disk utility again."
I have an HP desktop x64, win 7 32 i just did a factory restore 2 day ago but, I still have 1 of the problems I had before; the mouse on my computer will freeze for like 20 sec and sometimes causing the system to crash. Yesterday, it shut down on me and a blue screen popped up it said something about the drivers or bios but, I checked the maintenance and it said everything passed (good).
I'm not sure what's wrong. GW2 was working fine for a couple of days, and then the updates came rolling in. My computer started freezing, crashing, and a couple of bsods every hour or so. Only happens when playing GW2 though.

My computer has been crashing a lot lately. Usually, the computer freezes and weird lines appear on the display when it happens. Other times it just shows a BSOD and restarts. It started happening around 2-3 weeks after my motherboard, processor and RAM were changed because a part of the previous motherboard had burnt. The previous motherboard was ASUS M3A78-EM, the onboard graphics was ATI Radeon HD 3200 and RAM was 2 GB DDR2.I took the PC to a my computer vendor after everything I tried had failed. Firstly, he diagnosed it as an issue because of improper earthing/grounding in the switchboard where I plugged the computer and the UPS. I got the earthing issue sorted but to no avail, it still hanged/freezed. The second time I took it to him he said that he might have to update the BIOS and when I brought it back the problem had apparently been fixed but that was only for a few days. After like 4-5 days it started happening again. Same weird lines - green, magenta, purple and all the rest of it - started appearing. The HDD LED stops when this happens. I only observed the LED today, though. Today the computer freezed without those weird lines on two out of the 5 or 6 times it happenrd, it looked like it had just hanged but the HDD LED had gone off.Sometimes the PC doesn't start up at all immediately after it has crashed. That's what led me to guess it's a hardware issue. Also, it happens in safe mode and Windows XP too (I dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7) and I remember it once happening even before the computer had completely booted.Computer details:Windows 7 32-bitASUS M4A78LT-M-LEAMD Athlon II X2 250ATI Radeon 3000 onboard graphics1 x 2 GB DDR3 RAM250 GB SATAMinidumps and NirSoft BlueScreenView HTML report: url..
I recently purchased a new Graphic Card (Nvidia Geforce 670) and ever since I've experienced random freezes and moments where it's drivers stopped working.When the freeze happens It'll remain frozen until I reset the PC and if I've speakers on it'll blow out a nasty BZZZZZZ sound.the freezes appear to occur randomly. It can go days without them and sometimes (like now, I had less then an hour inbetween)In addition to that I quite frequently (daily at least) have my monitors go black and I get the "Nvidia Drivers stopped working" message. If I'm lucky it'll revert back to a previous stage where it worked fine and all I've to do is reboot the programs i'm running. If I'm unlucky, it doesn't stop until i've pushed the reset button.I don't know for sure that it's the new card causing it but considering the circumstances and the issues I'd say it is. Before this card I ran AMD's 6970 without any issues.
I can no longer leave my pc on overnight or it freezes. If I run more than 2-3 programs it freezes. I was watching a video once with headphones on and heard a loud noise then freeze.I at first thought it was just one of my hard drives dying because I had similar symptoms before I removed it. But, the fact that the crashes are happening more frequently without accessing the questionable e: has me stumped.Then I figured maybe it was the overclock I did in my bios. But, restoring it to normal has had little effect on the performance of my machine.I have run and run on an almost daily basis the following: All updated daily or when available.

I've worked as a PC tech for the last year and a half at a local joint here in College Station, TX and BC has been a wonderful resource in the past for me. To date, I haven't needed to ask questions directly; unfortunately, this latest one has stumped me. I have done my best to peruse the forum for previous topics of this nature and have found nothing. I realize it's a pain to answer the same thing twice so please feel free to redirect me if you found something I didn't.Unlike most problems for which I've sought help on BC, this one is personal. I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop but I'm running into some problems. First, I've run MEMTEST and HDD checks and everything checks out. Second, the full OS installation history was (OEM) 32-bit Vista, 32-bit Windows 7, and 64-bit Windows 7 (currently, or more appropriately formerly as I've already reformatted the hard drive).
I'd like to install Windows x86 on this machine as I've recently purchased a new performance laptop on which I have x64 Win7 installed. Before you protest, the laptop I'm asking about only has 2 GB RAM so there's no point in having x64 installed (and in fact it causes a lot of compatibility problems for legacy programs; yes, I installed Virtual Machine w/ XP but the graphics card doesn't carry over so I can't run the programs I need). Unfortunately, every time I try to boot to the DVD with Win7 x86 on it, it loads the files, shows the "Starting Windows..." splash screen, and then BSODs. The error? "c000021a"I've put a x64 Win7 disc in and it doesn't have this error at all. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm emarrassed to ask since I should know these things as a tech but I'm at my wits end here. Google hasn't been kind to me and I'm about ready to give up
I recently bought an ultrabook with win 7 home basic..i'm actually thinking of upgrading it to home premium but after UPGRADING (not a fresh install) should I reinstall my drivers ..because beats audio driver isn't available on the internet I think.
I have reinstalled Win7 on my laptop nad right now I can't open 2nd partition (D:) where my files are stored. The box pop-up that an access is denied. Also, partition D: has only NTFS description written down (no any possibility to open properties etc). How it happened? I reinstalled Win without any boot CD, but as a 2nd system on C: drive (the previous was renamed as Windows.old). After that, I deleted this folder. Everything runs fine, only D drive remains not accessable. I've tried to provide a permission for PC user how it was described here, but no any changes
I have dell Vostro 3450. when i reformatted the disk and installed the Windows 7,wireless adaptor was not detected and also one of the USB port was not enabled.
Reinstalled windows from Home Premium 32-bit to Ultimate 64-bit.All was okay, except the fact that I could not connect to my home wifi. It asked me for a password, I typed it in, then it asked me for it again, but this time it inmediatly said that it was invalid. Other responses ive had are Network security mismatch, windows cannot connect to the network. I have tried many different things, such as installiing the 32-bit version of Ultimate, updating drivers, and i cant connect to the wirelles.
I have a dell laptop 5150N. I replaced the hard drive with a new, wiped clean hard drive identical to the one i replaced. On ebay, they sell Dell windows 7 einstallation dvds, but they have no product keys/ COAs. I do have a product key/ COA underneath my laptop. Will one of theseI need a reinstallation just so i can restore my original system via my recovery dvds from the previous hard drive.
I have an acer that has been infected with some malware. I want to do a clean reinstall I could probably get the virus out if I tried to but I dont want to because i already scanned it with avast and deleted virus but its still coming back.
I have the OEM product key on the back but no boot CD's for the acer windows 7 home premium laptop.
How can I obtain a copy of windows 7 home premium and then enter my product key?
Also- I can run fine in safe mode. is there any way i can create a bootable disc from there?
If i reinstall windows do you guys know if i contact avast to get my license reactivated. I purchased 3x 2year licenses and how would i go about reactivating it on the "fresh" install
