After a recent power failure at my home, I tried to turn back on my computer and I get hanged at the windows 7 logo. I tried to restart multiple times but it don't work. So I to to do safe mode but it don't work either. It gets stuck when it loading to drivers. So I tried to put in the windows 7 installation disk to try and reformat my hard drive, but even that gets hanged at the logo screen when it tries to boot up.
View 4 RepliesSo basically over the weekend I shut my computer down because I was not going to be home. On sunday I go to turn my computer on and it hangs at the windows logo splash screen after POST. So I grab my laptop and start researching. I am able to get into safe mode with out any trouble only when I start windows normally do I run into problems. So here is what i have tried and with no success. Start up repair w/ and w/out disc, system restore, I have reinstalled windows 3 times, with 2 different versions, pro and ultimate and on first reboot I have the same problem. I flashed my bios about a year ago and have had minor issues since then that were all fixed by using krndbg and windows symbols server as a reference...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 installed, and one day my windows started hanging after the windows logo (when the login screen would appear). I hadn't installed or updated any drivers. After being unable to fix the problem through restoring to a system image, startup repair, etc. I reinstalled Windows 7 x64 from a clean iso (no OEM ware). This meant I was missing some drivers. I downloaded the drivers from the Lenovo website, and after installing the video driver, the problem occurred again. The system does however work fine on Ubuntu 12.10 (Linux).

I'm having a problem with installing windows 7. I start the computer and boot from my dvd-rom and it gets past the "Windows is loading files..." screen occasionally i get to the "starting windows" screen with no logo over it. other times i get a random blue screen. I've read a bunch of different forums online and none of the remedies seem to be working for me. I've tried disabling usb ports, unplugging all peripherals not necessary for the install, swapping harddrives, swapping video cards (including using the integrated),swapped psu, and messing with other bios settings.
My build is:
i5 661 3.33GHz cpu
Biostar TH55 HD motherboard
2x2GB 1333MHz Corsair Memory
600w thermaltake PSU
1TB Western Digital Caviar
500GB Western Digital Caviar
My window 7 Ultimate OS is hanging after logining into to. After desktop and Task Bar appears nothing more works. Even Ctrl+alt+del also not appears. After a long break it says "Failure to Display security and shutdown options". i have gone through all the options from F8 repair options since 3 days. Opened in safemode and checked the event viewer. i found many errors in it but don't know which is causing this problem. after checking all i found this may be responsible and searched it on google and taken what ever measures they said and got an advance from login screen to desktop and taskbar appearance and hanging there (present situation). Error: Session "ReadyBoot" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188, event ID:3, Source: Kernel-Event Tracing.i was able to get into safemode.I have a backup at the time of installation after which i have so many updates and softwares installed. If backup is restores 10s of software installation i loose. and esp. i want restore IE, Chrome and Firefox pages to restore. I have done restore point use (only 1 i have). Tried "last known good configuration", disabling some services incl. readyboot. no use.
View 9 Replies View RelatedBought lots of cheap RAM, so I thought I'd upgrade from my current 32-bit Vista to 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. Easier said than done. Since my DVD drive is busted, I opted to do a USB install using win2flash.
I got to the stage where I had to set up my user account and home share password, but when it rebooted after that, it gets to the Verifying DMI Pool Data and hangs. There are no other HDDs attached, only the primary SATA HDD. The faulty DVD is disconnected. I'm only using 2GB RAM for the install.
Now I can't even get it to boot from the USB...I've selected 'removable drive' on the boot priority list, but with the USB plugged in, it doesnt detect it.
My pc hangs when i insert usb. Initially hanging problem started when I mounted in daemon tools den when I inserted memory card reader and new when I insert my pendrive. Sometimes it also hangs suddenly. But everything works fine in safe mode. No virus -Quick Heal and No malware even in online panda security scanning.

Is it my SSD? Do I need to do a reformat? Is it something else entirely?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought my wife a Dell Inspiron Zino HD with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled about 3 years ago. It has been working well since, with a few hiccups here and there.Three days ago it started behaving really badly: it would boot normally up to the welcome screen, but when I click on one of the users icons it simply stays there with the rotating icon forever. It won't even show me the usual box to insert the password.If I boot to a safe mode (no matter which) it boots without problems, but I see nothing wrong with either the device drivers or anything else.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTwo drivers do not load at start up and causes windows not to load after updating Bios in raid system. The tdx.sys and serial.sys do not load. I just get a black screen in windows. The cursor can be moved for a short while then it freezes. I have done scannow and repair a dozen times with no results. I have also done chkdsk and all of these come back ok.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm trying to install Windows 7, it gets stuck, generally at "Completing installation", but sometimes before, at the first background screen... I can only get to "Completing installation" using the safe mode install. I've tried taking all unneccessary parts out, and used several different sticks of RAM.I've also tried different hard drives, different DVDs (the current one is a retail disk), and a different graphics card. When it freezes, the monitor will just go black - into standby - and I can't turn it back on. I've tried disabling the USB ports in the BIOS.[CODE]
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have a Maingear tower gaming system that is hanging after login for 20 to 30 minutes. This doesn't happen in Safe Mode; however we have reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch 4 times and reconfigured the SSD back to RAID 1 (former problem had them in another config). Patriot RAM 12GB passes with flying colors with Memtest 86+. We are at our wits end - tried just about everything other than dropping it off a tall building. We've removed extraneous cards, disabled legacy USB in BIOS, all to no avail. About 1 in 10 times it boots up and stays clean. Otherwise, it's useless and can't be used (just a spinning blue windows symbol).Even if you wait 1/2 hour and it clears up, it will rear it's ugly head later, making the system unusable.
This system has a clean install with only Zone Alarm installed (has the problem without Zone Alarm, too).We have very little to no BSOD and fan is running fine.Shall we pull the NVIDIA card?There was a shorted USB panel that was replaced by Maingear before this happened, but that may be a red herring. The panel works fine now.This is an i7 970 3.2 GHz 6 core system, ASUS X58 Sabertooth motherboardI thought it was hardware - not so sure now as Safe Mode seems stable

I'm running: Dell XPS 9100 Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 16 GB RAM Quad-core Intel 920 @ 2.67 GHz C: drive = 2 TB RAID-0 internal drive set (2 disks) E: drive = 2 TB RAID-0 G-RAID external array attached w/ eSATA (2 disks) Today I had a serious problem with Windows Explorer. I was trying to access a 3.2 GB TIFF file on my external E: array (used for backup, Second Copy is my backup utility) and sorted the directory by Date Modified to find the file.Windows Explorer hung and spun for 45 minutes until I had to power-switch my computer off. Froze up everything. Consumed up to 14 GB of RAM with non-stop page faulting. I even got a black screen trying to start Task Manager to kill the process. The black screen hung, then threw an error msg saying it couldn't open the window and said either press ESC or power-switch the computer. Hitting ESC worked once, but the next time I tried it 10-15 min later I had to power-switch the machine.Windows upon restarting applied some patches during the boot sequence in a place I'd never seen it do that before (while the colorful logo on black background is coming up, before the normal 'Windows is configuring your computer' message on the blue background when it's updating).Lost all my configs - Start Menu, Desktop, Firefox bookmarks, IE favorites, Photoshop actions/recently-edited-files, etc. My files and programs seem ok, though, so far.In Resource Monitor the Windows Explorer window had taken almost 100% of memory, 12 GB of my 16 GB. Photoshop could not even close.It had spun like that on my internal C: drive. But defragging seemed to fix it. On my external drive defragging doesn't help much. Tonight, after defragging my E: external array, I again tried accessing the same directory to work with an updated copy of the same TIFF file. Again I sorted the directory in descending order to sort the file to the top. And I tried to delete another 3 GB file in the same directory. Windows Explorer kept the resources hanging for 20-30 min instead of 45+ minutes. But this time Resource Monitor said Explorer was taking up from 12.9 to 19 GB of memory (on a 16 GB machine).This time Explorer did allow Photoshop to close. But I had to kill the Photoshop.exe process after exiting Photoshop, and some minutes later the memory usage dropped from 19 GB to 98.7 MB.Has anyone seen anything like this? what's going on?My E: drive is external, used for backup, is 75% full and has 240,000 user files on it + whatever system files, Second Copy control files, etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor the last month or so, my home-built Windows 7 (Home Premium) PC doesn't always hibernate properly - it just hangs at the black screen and I have to hold in the power button for at least 4 seconds to 'power off' the PC.
I have no idea why this has started to happen and sometimes it works fine. Sometimes when I boot back up I get the message that Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown and will notify me if a solution is available, but no other details are provided.
I've checked the Windows system logs and can see no indication of what is causing the issue when shutting down. Obviously with the screen going black I cannot see any error messages either!

I have a peculiar problem with my lappy. Once I start it the system runs for sometime (usually for 15mins to 1-2hours) and then it suddenly hangs for 15-20mins. When the system hangs, the mouse becomes a circle and nothing seems to be moving. This problem started after I installed Spybot S & D. Although I have uninstalled S & D, the problem still persists. Currently I see some of the folders in my C drive appear like Hidden Files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh format and install of Windows 7 because of some issues I was having previously. I formatted the drive, installed Windows and updated all my drivers and programs today.
Randomly now, the computer will 'hang' and be unresponsive for 3-15 seconds at a time. It seems multiple things cause the problem, sometimes it's loading a webpage, or opening a program, or navigating between folders in Explorer.
Prior to my format and reinstall I never had this type of issue before, and all the hardware aside from the DVD drive is the same, so I'm wondering if it's some sort of a Driver conflict, but I really don't know to tell.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install of windows 7, and things are not responding and hanging.My computer used to be a hp pavilion p71142 I kept the processor, dvd drive, ram, and hard-drive from it, but did my own build.Before I did my own build, I was having trouble with windows. It was slow and it got to the point where windows would not load/boot. I did a fresh install before I started changing hardware, but still slow.The only thing changed when my computer was hp is the graphic card and psu. But those worked fine for several months with no problems. I have got to the stage again now, where windows 7 will not load, and I can't even get into startup repair.

There is any way in Windows 7 to set up other key to do the windows logo key function?
I have spent the last few days working on my friends Sony Vaio PCG-7184L(which by the way is not listed anywhere on sony's website). It runs windows 7 64bit and it freezes immediately after the Windows logo starts it's animation and there's about an inch of the top of the screen that is filled with weird colored lines. So I told him sure, I'll fix it, it's probably just a virus and should be fairly simple. I will list in sequence what I have done so far to diagnose/fix the issue. One more thing, it started doing this freeze up thing the same day he got it back from the Geek Squad at Best Buy, who were doing a simple update and cleaning from what my friend told me. Tried booting into safemode, froze, on hal.dll, with same colored lines at top of screen, Tried booting into ERD Commander 2k8 and froze at the same spot. Booted into Linux live CD and scanned for viruses with avast, there were none.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently built a new setup using two 350GB Western Digital SATA hard drives. They are raided and until today I've had no trouble with the computer at all. When turning my computer on it loads to the Windows logo (the pulsing coloured "squares" ) and after 10 seconds or so it reboots. When booting up it detects my raided drive however when I insert the Windows 7 cd to enter the repair menu it doesn't see the drive. What I mean is on the screen where you choose the OS to repair, it does not appear. It DOES appear, however, after inserting a USB device with my raid drivers on it and then locating them first. The trouble is, the first time I did this it detected my 700GB raid drive (or approx 630GB space). The second time, however, it only detected my old 200GB drive which I store music on. After switching to different SATA ports as suggested by another post I found on the net, I then encountered a 0xc000000F error which reads "0xc0000000f. Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible". I tried doing a MBR repair but I don't think it worked.
