I have been running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 bit on my pc for 6 months or so when recently it just started freezing up either whilst loading or whilst im on the desktop screen. I have checked memory chips for error and its returned back no errors found. I have to sometimes reboot the pc when its frozen and then it doesn't load up. It freezes just after windows logo appears and just halts for ages. Sometimes it doesnt even get that far. I have a memory and cpu gauge on my desktop which constantly has memory on about 56% usage and cpu on 0.2%.
I have even resinstalled a backup image i have created of the operating system but now its even worse. I have Virgin media security software installed.
I have a Toshiba sattelite A215 that I upgraded from Vista Home Premium to 32 bit Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install from a legit copy of 7. Prior to installing, I ran the upgrade advisor and there was one device (listed as unknown) that was listed as not compatible.A few days after install, after the laptop sits idle for a few hours, when I open it up and start navigating, it will freeze up. I power off using the power button, power back up, and it works fine. Next time I try to use it after it sits idle for a while, again it freezes.This process is repeated nearly every time I start using it after it sits idle for a few hours
I custom built my computer and I am having problems with intermittent freezing. I had to replace my last wireless adapter because the connection was very slow (only sometimes). I replaced the card and now the speeds are great but sometimes the computer will freeze intermittently freeze for 1-2 secs. The mouse, video, sound and everything freezes and the sound puts out a weird "morphed" sound. To alleviate this problem I have to move the mouse down to the wireless icon in the right area of the task bar, click on it, and then click on the wireless connection. Then it will be fine. My computer is running windows 7 professional and the wireless driver is up to date.
I've got this HP machine a few months ago. Its the Probook 4530s.
I've formatted the harddrive and reinstalled windows a few time in hopes that it will fix this problem but it just does not seem to go away.
The windows keeps freezing for a few seconds, like the window will say "(Not Responding)" at the top...and then after a few seconds it starts working again. I checked the resource monitor and apparently the processor and memory utilization is quite low so I cant figure out why it still freezes.
I recently purchased a new motherboard, RAM and SSD to upgrade my computer a bit. I planned on doing a clean install onto the new SSD, rather than upgrading Vista x64, which is installed on a 750GB hard drive. However, after I set the BIOS to boot from CD, hit a key to boot off CD, it freezes at the loading windows screen before you can select your language preferences. I tried running this with only 1 4GB memory stick instead of 2.
Also, unplugged everything that wasn't needed from the computer, leaving just the video and ps/2 mouse + keyboard. I also tried, taking out the PCI Sound card, starting with just the SSD drive connected and the 750GB drive disconnected and disabling everything I could think of that wasn't needed in the BIOS. I tried both the 64bit (which I would like to use) and the 32bit install CDs. Both freeze at the same spot.
My Win 7 ultimate has been working great since I have installed it, but few minutes ago, my laptop froze and I had to restart. I do not know how to open a dmp file, so here is the link for download > RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting.
I have a Blu-Ray/DVD drive on my PC (its a brans new PC).When I first start windows up the drive genreally seems to be recognised by windows (i.e. I can see it in windows explorer), however at some point windows stops recognising the DVD drive forcing me to restart the PC if I want to get my DVD out.I realize there is a fix where you change the registry settings, but given that the DVD srive works when I restart the PC I'm not sure that fix if applicable here?
When I'm disconnected, I lose all connectivity both to the internet and on the local lan, so pinging (for example) Google will time out, but also pinging 192.168.1.1 (the router's lan ip address) will also time out
Fix : Start -> dev manager -> network adapter. Double click, open her up and then under "advanced", take a look at "Link Speed & Duplex".
If this is set to auto-negotiation, try re-setting it to 10 or 100mbps Full Duplex, re-start your computer.
It's the network driver that costs me hours of hunting & searching. MOTHERBOARD : ASUS IPIBL-LB Integrated LAN : Realtek 8111C 10/100/1000 Mb/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
I am facing an issue where the wireless connectivity drops intermittently for my Win 7 Home Basic Notebook.Within less then a minute the connection is resumed. Earlier I thought that it was an issue with my service provider.But then I did not face this issue with my Win XP notebook. I mean, both the notebooks are connected and then the wireless connection of Win 7 drops for a minute and then reconnects. During the period when the connection drops, I can still see my SSID, and also checked that the Win XP was connected and I could access the internet.What could be the root cause and the possible solutions for this issue?It is really frustrating when the connection drops when I am downloading big files and I have to start all over.
I have a new HP Notebook with Windows 7. Downloaded my old Office 2003. However, Outlook only works intermittently without any rhyme or reason. I've kept a log since August 5 for being on and being off. It is mostly off. The # of the error message that comes up is (0x800CCC0F0), it says: "The connection of the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact our server administrator or Internet service provider." My internet provider is AT&T u-verse, they tell me that they do not deal with Outlook problems, I should use webmail. Of course I use it to get my emails but don't anybody tell me what to use, I have used Outlook for the past 15+ years and I intend to continue using it. I use the very unimaginative webmail out of necessity. AT&T also tells me that that I can subscribe with a one year contact $ 15 a month to their special service to address my type of problem.
When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.
We have 2 x Server 2008 R2 domain controllers and 120+ Windows 7 x64 clients. We have a print server which runs Server 2008 R2.We have several other servers which also run Server 2008 R2. An issue occurs intermittently and apparently at random, whereby a client will be unable to resolve the host/computer name of the print server. When the issue occurs, we have confirmed the following: - The client has a valid IP address.The client DNS server addresses are correct. - The client can ping the IP address of the print server. - The client can resolve the IP address of the print server by using nslookup and the server�s FQDN. - The client cannot resolve the IP address of the print server by using nslookup and the host/computer name of the print server.The issue can occur regardless of which domain controller the client used to log on. - When the output of ipconfig /display is printed to a text file, many of the other servers in our domain are present in the DNS cache but the print server is not. After the ipconfig /flushdns command is executed, the client can resolve the host/computer name of the print server immediately.
For a little while now, completely randomly it would seem, the USB ports on the back of my PC will seemingly cut in and out indefinitely until I do a restart.
If the devices that were plugged into the back USB ports are switched to the USB ports on the front of the case, there isn't a problem at all.
I'm almost certain that the problem is not with my mouse and keyboard as like I said, plugged into the front they work fine.
Ever since I installed Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite computer, the keyboard unexpectedly stops functioning at times, perhaps once a week. The only solution is to restart the computer.Windows Support says for me to call Toshiba, and Toshiba Support blames it on Windows. It seems obvious (even though nothing is obvious with computers) that the keyboard is in working order - since I can type 99 percent of the time - the glitch has to be with Windows.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 and I just reformatted and reinstalled a couple weeks ago. I did this because I was messing around with Linux and removed the partition in the wrong drive...sigh. So anyway, Windows 7 was running rock solid prior to this....no problems whatsoever with anything. So after I reinstall Windows I notice my Internet connection drops once in a while. Some days it doesn't do it at all while others it drops multiple times. It's all up to date too. There are two things different in this install though. The first is I updated my BIOS. I did this because I suddenly couldn't access the BIOS or even use F8 on boot up. The second thing is after you install, Windows wants to update my Atheros (I believe it's called) adapter. I didn't do this with the first install because it was working fine. Ok, so there are the two differences. Do you guys think it's the adapter driver or the BIOS update? [code]
It seems like every other restart I get that error on boot up. Why is it off and on?
I ran a repair disc (startup repair), I did a memory diagnostic test, and a restore from a month earlier, and still I get this error. Dont have a Win 7 disc, so don't want to do a clean install yet.
I have a pair of WD 500GB drives in Raid0 array with the resulting >900Gb partitioned such :
C: Priamry 100Gb - Windows 7 64bit D: Primary 80 GB - Windows 7 32bit E: Primary 40GB - Windows 7 32bit R: Secondary Logical - 355GB - Data Z: Secondary Logical - 355GB - Data
Using DualBootPro to boot between the various OS Both the Windows 7 32 bit installations give me no problems whatsoever, however, intermitantly when booting into the Windows 7 64 installation sometimes the R drive will appear as read only, or the Z drive will appear as read only or they are both OK.This is more an inconvenience than a major disassater, as a reboot normally resolves the issue. This appears to be cmpletely random, as it does not happen specifically after a boot into either of the Windows 7 32 installtions, but can occur even after a previous successful boot of the Windows 7 64 installation.
I have two monitors connected to the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card (it has two DVI connections). With both monitors on everything works fine. Windows remembers which apps I have open on which monitor and so on.
However, sometimes I turn on only one (the primary) monitor. In this case Windows somehow still thinks that both monitors are there, so the apps which would open on the second monitor still do so, i.e. I can't see them when I start them, and the mouse goes easily beyond the active monitor.
Now, the second monitor is completely off - it has a real power switch. But it's possible that it still has some voltage through the connector so that Windows - or the graphic card - detects its presence. I have not tried to unplug it but maybe I should do that as well.
So finally my question - is it possible to make Windows aware that the second monitor is not in use and only extend the desktop when the second monitor is on and do that without restart/log off?
What might be the problem when one machine on the network drops off intermittently while other machines' shared drives remain accessible? This is the error message that displays on the machines that try to connect to the HTPC's shared drives:
Default Gateway is not Available. The internet on my laptop only works intermittently. After a minute or so of initial use, it stops working and when I run the troubleshooter it discovers that the default gateway is not available and then it says that it has fixed the problem. However, after only a minute or so more, the internet once again fails. I have tried the "run>cmd>enter>ipcongfig>enter" and found that the numbers for the default gateway are the same on my laptop as for a laptop that does work.
I am connected to a wireless WEP network using a TrendNet wireless adapter running Win 7. The Internet will stop working for some unknown reason only on my PC that uses this wireless adapter, but just web browsing stops working. Skype and Torrent still works. On my MacBook the Internet will still work during these periods.
I have a HP XW8400, Win 7 x64 Ultimate, 8G Fully Buffered memory.Per instructions of my "computer guy", I leave the computer on almost always. I was awaken at 4AM by the "alarm" on the computer, and a black screen with error codes 922, 923 and 927. See attached picture. Having experienced this error before (maybe a year ago) I shut the computer down, carefully cleaned the contacts on the video card, card reader and memory. I also removed the Hauppauge WinTV 1600 card, as I hadn't used that accessory in years.Since reboot, the computer would run fine for about an hour or so, then it would freeze up, accepting no input from keyboard. A few seconds later mouse input would not be accepted, and then the BSOD with error code 0x000000F4. This procedure went on three or four times, but I was able to do some work in the meantime. My computer tech called back and said I should try a system restore. I did that, but now I am unable to boot at all. I tried several times, one time getting a BSOD - type screen, but the characters were unintelligible. It was acting as if someone had shrunk a screen full of type horizontally, "squishing" the letters.As my computer tech is unavailable, I need to attempt to fix the problem myself, as I use this computer about 12 hours or more daily.
I'm getting BSOD crashes intermittently, but strangely enough only when my PC is idle. Error log below, and dump file attached.

I hired a networking person to enable remote desktop connection between 2 computers for me. The computer I am trying to connect to uses a switch to run internet between 2 computers but I only connect to one of those computers. No-ip is set up on the computer I am trying to connect to to standardize the ip addresses and I am connecting using port 3389. What happens when I try and connect is as follows. If I have not connected for many hours (maybe 5 or more) remote desktop connection will not connect. In order for it to work I have to go to my logmein account and log into the computer there first then after logging out of the logmein connection and waiting a couple minutes I can log in using the remote connection fine. Then, for the rest of the day I can use the remote connection with no problems.
In the morning when I try again, it won't connect, I have to go to logmein once again and then it works. I thought maybe it had to do with a power setting so I created my own power profile and set everything to never sleep, hibernate or do anything except run and run at maximum performance...But that didn't affect it, I still can't log in using remote desktop connection after a long wait. I have also looked in the logs for both my Virus software (AVG) and the computer to see if anything sticks out but AVG firewall log stopped logging in November and I can't seem to reset it and the local cpu event logs don't show any issues with remote desktop connection.
I have an HP Pavilion Elite HPE machine, Windows 7, Radeon HD 5700 Series graphics card, connected to an Acer monitor and HDTV. Here's details on my setup:
My Equipment | Building a Home Theater With Your Office PC
My problem is that even though my HDMI cable's plugged into my Radeon graphics card, sometimes the PC only recognizes the Acer monitor and not the receiver (that's connected to the HDMI cable and my HDTV). So I end up having to plug and unplug the HDMI cable several times (sometimes 10+) before it recognizes the HDTV/receiver connection. Is there any setting that would favor the card/PC recognizing the HDMI cable more frequently? I've heard it's a handshake issue, and that maybe using a different type of cable would work. But wondering if there's a setting I could use before switching out cables.
why my 64 bit laptop keeps "locking up". It becomes totally unresponsive, on the majority of occasions it is necessary to press the power button for 6 seconds to switch it off. The problems only started occuring after I upgraded the memory from 4Gb (2 x 2) to 8Gb (2 x 4) supplied by crucial. I have ran the windows memory diagnostic program and memtest86, both of which detected no problems. If I re-install the original memory there is no issues. The symptoms are telling me that the memory is failing however the diagnostic testing indicates otherwise.
I have a netgear wireless router upstairs. My dell laptop, my iMac (which is downstairs) and my iPad/iPhones all connect anywhere in the house. My Toshiba laptop and my work dell will not connect or it connects very intermittently. I can stay connected for days on other wifi networks, just not at home. Any ideas?
Computer is currently suffering from persistent freezing and bluescreens. It seems to happen almost randomly, and usually very soon after startup and loading of Windows. System restore has not helped.'fraid that's all the info I can give right now. Any recommendations? If anyone wants me to run hijackthis or dxdiag and post results I'd be more than happy to (assuming I can get that far before it freezes!). Safe mode does work, and the problem does not occur while in safe mode.
Can I upgrade from Windows ultimate 32bit ver 6.1 ( build 7600) to windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition and keep all of my installed programs and files ?[meaning not having them moved to a new folder called windows.old]
