I have a problem where windows 7 freezes just after logging in. It's happening on a new build (i7 2600k, asus P8Z68-V PRO, thermaltake 775w psu, 16gb 1833mhz corsiar vengence, crucial 120gb ssd, evga gtx 570). for three weeks the computer ran great and super fast. while playing a game it froze and required a hard restart. I began playing the game again and 20 minutes later it did the same thing. after another hard reset it began freezing after logging in. Sometimes getting stuck, sometimes getting a blue screen. in safe mode the computer would work fine. I had the asus autotune OC on the first time it happened, subsequent times had it off.
I discovered the issue seems to be the video card driver. after removing the gtx 570 the problem still occurred with the onboard video and intel drivers. When i uninstalled the intel drivers and just had standard vga there were no problems. this led me to believe it was a motherboard issue. luckily my motherboard was under 30 days old so i returned it for a new one. Same problem and i'm stuck on what the solution might be.

My pc sometimes freezes just before the windows logo starts to play (attached photo) and authorities it boots up just fine! There is no blue screen or anything it just freezes. My pc runs fine otherwise and I am not overclocking. I do not want to reinstall windows as i have lots of software that have had all their serial keys used up. My system is windows 7 64bit retail. My PC has:
Nvidia evga GTX 460 i5 2500k cpu intel DP67DE motherboard 6gb of ram
Firstly, my system specs are on my profile I got a new ram stick for my PC. Here's the link from where I bought it:Flipkart: Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9): RamSo I put it in and booted up the computer. Worked fine till the welcome screen of windows7. I then logged in and after the startup processes were loaded, I got a blue screen of death. Got it couple more times when I booted it up. After that the screen never gave any BSOD. Just kept freezine. This kept happening again and again. I thought it might be because my older corsair ram sticks could be conflicting with this one. So I booted it with the new stick only. Same freezing of screen. So it definitely isn't conflicting RAMs.
I decided to see if the problem is with the stick or some driver issue. So I booted into Ubuntu and am currently typing through it. Been using it since a couple of hours and is working fine. So this definitely is a windows issue with the RAM stick as windows works fine if I remove the new stick. Also, windows works fine in safe mode with the new stick too. Any idea what is the issue here? I'll be posting the minidumps of the BSOD in a short while.
have asked this question before but I relocated my question here. I recently built a new computer. i5 quad core, Ga-p55 mobo, 8 gigs of ram- ddr3 1600 corsair, nvidia 460gtx se. When i start my computer up it freezes on the Windows Logo. I tested my ram, for 8 or so tests, no problems. I used 2 different hard drives and the problem happens on both of them. One of them is 500gig which i know works, the other was 750gig. when windows does load it takes about a minute or 2, with no other programs on it
Each time I turn on my PC, it boots up fine, but then when I open FireFox, I get a freeze up. I can still see the cursor and move it with the mouse, but there is no response when I click on anything. I have to shut the PC of manually and then when I restart it again, things work normally for the rest of the session.
I am struggling to fix my computer. It all started when I went to install an 3rd 1 TB drive to my computer. The computer seemed to boot up just fine, then once windows started to load, I got the BSOD. Now I have disconnected all the drives but the one my os is on. When I load windows, I get a couple mins of use, then everything just freezes. I can work with safe mode a little, but it will randomly reboot after a few mins sometimes. I don't know what the problem could be. Here is what I have done/attempted so far. Disconnect all unnecessary devices - no changeRan a memory test - okTried startup repair - it says it fixed a couple problems, but I have not noticed any changesRan a DiskCheck - Fixed a couple bad clusters, but I have not noticed any changesSwapped PSU with one I know works - No changesRight now I am running a virus scan, I'll post later what the results were. I have attempted to do a system restore, but windows keeps crashing before it completes it. System Specs:Windows 7 x64AMD Athlon II x4 635MSI 880GMA-E458 GB DDR3 RAM (4x2GB)Saphire Radeon HD 5450
I've had this laptop for about 2 years, and recently (about 2 weeks ago) it's been very slow, freezing if I start chrome or other software, delay going into system options when I click ctrl+alt+delete. But today, it froze again and it wouldn't budge so I held my power button to turn it off and restarted it, and shortly after it booted up, it froze and the mouse wouldn't even bother to move or click anything, everything was frozen. I've tried restarting several times already but it still freezes, although safe mode works for me which is what I'm using right now, I've already used the "Last Known Settings that worked" feature and it can boot when I do a selective boot with just the drivers. But normal boot settings do not work.
Furthermore, I've ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool which showed no errors at all after it was fully completed. So I'm quite unsure what to do because I attend a laptop program at school and regularly use my laptop for work.I made sure my drivers are all updated by using Driver Genius Professional which I've had for quite a while.I've also tried to use system restore to many restore points but it just boots up and gives me the message of how it has failed.
I seem to have a problem, I recently created a usb drive with windows 7 on it but I can't boot from it at all, what I mean is when I press etc., on my keyboard it brings me to boot from device menu, when I tried to navigate to my usb stick and press enter it just freezes my pc, I tried waiting but it just brings up a error on my screen that windows did not boot properly.
every time I boot Windows 7 64bit it slows down for about 2 seconds, then freezes,except for the mouse. Nothing will recover, and this happens within a few minutes of boot up. I don't know what to do, I need things to try
Well i had bough Gta IV for pc. And after some updates required by the game it needed to restart my pc, when it booted back up, it had said some files were corrupted and i couldnt boot the OS. I tried installing, but it kept saying boot Mgr was missing, and said to press ctrl alt and delete and restarted the system. After weeks of trying, i used an actual program on my laptop and burned an iso of windows 7 to a disc. I went thru the install and after using any somewhat demanding task or program like internet explorer it would freeze, mouse, keyboard, etc would freeze. I had to hard reset it. Now most of the time it gets to where it shows the green, blue and red colors or something spinning to form the windows logo and then freezes. Ive tried various methods of switching around hardware like video cards, switchin ram, etc. Still same results. Ran memtest and cant get results due to it freezing.
I when I went over to my desktop after getting up this morning I found that it didn't react to me moving the mouse, and the screen stayed black even when I turned it on. I turned it off, then back on. It froze during the windows boot screen (black screen + logo ) It kept doing that. Tried System Restore, it froze during that too.On Windows 7 install it freezes during the Expanding phase at random points.What I've tried:Installing on another harddrive. (same result)Windows Restore Memory Diagnostic (no Errors)Chkdsk (not /r the short version, will have to make a boot cd to do that)
When I boot my Win 7 machine and logon the desktop loads just fine, but when I click on the start button it freezes and doesn't come back - I can't click on anything. I think I've managed to narrow it down to being a problem with the DHCP service by disabling all services in msconfig and reenabling each one in turn. Everything was fine until I enabled the DHCP service - even starting manually after it has booted caused the issue to come back.

I have a 64bit windows 7 asus laptop. whether booting normally, or in safe or any other mode, it will start the boot process then freeze. elements of one or two lines of blue screen (possibly the windows background) start to appear at the top of the screen when it freezes. Could this possible be something with the Windows load page?
I was playing a game when suddenly the screen froze. The system was completely unresponsive. The lights on the keyboard wouldn't even change when pressing Num Lock, Caps Lock or Scroll Lock. When rebooting, the system would not go into Windows. It would just make it past the "Starting Windows" screen and then freeze up again. I ran System Repair and let it do its thing. It took about 5 minutes then came back and gave me a general error message, saying it couldn't fix the problem. However, Windows did start correctly after System Repair was run. The problem occured a few more times. Mostly when playing games but also once whilst I was browsing the internet (music was playing also).
Windows wont start it freezes during the boot up sequence.(when the windows starting comes up). I tried safe mode it freeze during that but it stopped at Windowssystem3ddriversAtiPcie64.sys..I tried start up repair, it froze during that, the blue wallpaper of the repair screen comes up though but after that it just freezes. I tried my last good configuration it froze during that as well. This happened after i restarted the computer 5 or 7 consecutive times because i was trying to get into safe mode. I did not log in i just restarted again from the login screen
I have a HP labtop and my laptop froze all of a sudden so I did a hard restart of the computer. After restarting the computer I am no longer able to boot my computer up, the screen will go black sometimes after the log in screen. But now I do not even get the option to go to the log in screen now it just goes to the startup recovery stage. Everytime I try to fix start up I get startup repair off line following by the details of 0.00000 or something like that. The numbers are all zeros in the details but I tried other options like restoring to a previous point and I keep getting errors.
So, I'm not exactly sure what I did. I was clearing up some space on my computer after using the Norton Removal Tool to get rid of this Norton trial popup that came up everytime I booted my computer. Now, after it told me to restart, it seems to be stuck in an endless boot cycle that resets itself after showing the Windows logo. I've since tried running startup repair, which freezes as it shows the progress bar for 'Windows is loading files'. Safe mode will not work, either. It just sends it back into the boot cycle. Not sure what to do at this point. My computer came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, so I don't have any startup discs.
About a month ago my PC was freezes on bootup. When I eventually got into Windows, the PC would often freeze again resulting in several bootups and system startup repairs etc. I ran several free and paid-for hardware diagnostic applications which all gave the results that no hardware had issues. I updated all the drivers so again eliminating any issues here.
If I close down my computer by switching it off with the on/off switch, when I next boot, I see the message"Start Windows Normally" and a stopwatch which counts off the seconds until the machine will boot normally together with several options to boot into Safe Mode, which is expected. However I cannot select"Start Windows Normally" or move up and down to select Safe Mode options. I have to let the timer run it's course and boot normally because the whole window is frozen
Sometimes when I boot up the computer, It freezes up. It will say the network is available like normal, however when we click on anything like a shortcut, start menu, etc.. the screen goes transparent and says the program is not responding, it never responds and if we click "Yes" the whole screen is clear, no start menu, shortcuts, nothing except the desktop background.
My laptop is continuously freezing after startup. I after booting up and logging in everything will load completely then will often freeze for 10mins to upwards of 50mins, and I will eventually get a Microsoft Explorer error and everything will disappear from my screen leaving up only my wallpaper. And all attempts at bringing up the task manager will not work.
I am sure everyone recognizes this: at almost every startup, you see the boot animation. Windows 7 uses those 4 colors that merge into a Windows flag.
But the animation freezes at a random moment, then after 3 seconds it disappears and there we have the normal menu where you choose a profile to login with.
I want to see the animation completely, so making use of those 3 seconds where the OS is loading to continue the animation.
You have this in Windows XP too, where the loading bar freezes.
Are there any solutions for this? It would be fantastic to see the Windows flag at the end, and not just those 4 colors about-to-merge.
Dell Inspiron 537S has been working without a problem for 3 years. Suddenly, it will not boot -- the system freezes when the Flash screen appears. I have tried the following with and still get the same result.Tested all voltages on the power supply under load -- all are ok replaced the 3 volt bios battery.Originally, I thought the problem was bad hard drive, but the problem occurs before the operating system takes over. I also replaced the hard drive with a new one. Then I used the original Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD in an attempt to fix the problem. Same result with a new un-used hard drive as with the original hard drive.
Whenever I boot from an alternate source, (Knoppix linux CD boot, windows XP from dual booting), windows 7 freezes at the login screen. It does this everytime without fail, and only after the alternate boot once.
After this happens, I turn off my computer and restart and it boots fine. I did install a dual boot and mess with the partitions, but I found this happening even after I booted from a linux cd (knoppix, and did not change anything)
So it seems that after booting from an alternate source something changes for the windows 7 boot, and after a hard reset it fixes?
OS Windows 7 ProOut of the blue, I started noticing that all the desktop icons were going blank, mouse freezing and now when I reboot, it locks up at the AUTO DETECTING USB MASS STORAGE DEVICES
Device #01 : Device #02 :
I have checked all the USB things are connected properly, all cables etc. are in but no luck!I can vaguely recall seeing something somewhere during my travels over the PC something about a "media disconnected" and I am sure it was saying something like bigpond.qld.com.au ........... Not 100% sure though.
after computer boot up to desk top i click on a program, any one and it opens.At this point nothing else will open and only the mouse can moe around.The only way to get going is to hit contr, alt del, than click on task manager and end what ever task is showing if any.then the compupter reboots and every thing works.
I got a BSOD yesterday which was most likely from overheating and now 30-60 seconds after I boot it normally, it freezes yet my mouse still moves. Ten second later, all the screen shows is my background. I've tried system restore, then I went it BIOS and ran a test on the system memory which passed, scanned for malware and spyware, used both CCleaner and IObit Advance SystemCare to clean up registry and junk files, and then defragmented the hard drive expecting that might do something and it still freezes.Edit: I've been looking at the start ups and don't see anything that suspicious.[CODE]
The problem is that when the bootscreen is showing, the animation plays just a bit and then it freezes, but windows boots ok. How do I fix the bootscreen animation?
A relative is having a problem with their laptop. When I try to boot normally, I get to the login screen and it locks up and I can't move the mouse and select a user, it just freezes. When I boot in safe mode everything works properly and I'm able to login without any problems. So i was wondering if it could be a bad driver that is causing this?
