I've recently installed a copy of Win7 on a build. The oddest thing has occurred ever since the installation. From a cold start the PC boots up perfectly and Windows runs smoothly. But if you try to restart or the system does a reboot, the system never comes back..
It just turns black, no bios screen, nothing. I've tried installing and reinstalling the video card driver, but I can't think of anything else.
my computer restarts without any pattern/reason that i could think off.
This has been going on generally for months.
This is a new computer that was bought in the end of September and it came with this problem when I bought it.
Was bought with windows xp, which was upgraded to vista and then to windows 7.
None of the operating system upgrades helped, but for a few months changing the graphics card did.
A few weeks back the restarts started again and just changing the graphic card this time didn't help. It went as bad as restarting once per minute. PER MINUTE.
The automatic restarts have been turned off.
This computer has been to the repairs more then my old one did in 5 years.
The next thing we will change is the motherboard.
Computer hasn't restarted in a hour so far, but each time I try to call someone on skype it ...lets me be on the call for a few minutes... and then restarts.
It restarts when I try to play world of warcraft, movies and what not. It sounds like the graphic card, but it's not. That's just today.
It started all over again a few weeks ago, then my dear repair guy reinstalled some drivers and it worked for a week. System restores don't work, but it doesn't make me stop trying.
I have ran every possible virus scan I can think of.
Reinstalled every program.
All kinds of system repairs.
I'm down to thinking it's either the power or system updates.
This is a rain of terror and It doesn't have a pattern.
So on Friday installed a new video card (7850) and this morning I had opened up the case as I have been experiencing some freezing with the new card (reason why I replaced the old card) however I have never had sound issues.I did the following prior to leaving today:Rebooted system a few times, had removed video card a few times, inserted monitor cable into the motherboard, booted that up, disabled the vga adapter, then rebooted and turned it on again (figured it might help with the freezing) I also pressed the reset button that is ON this motherboard (Asus P8z68-V Pro)So in any event long story short, When I came home today i didnt hear sound. I have tried just about everything, the Windows 7 seems to reflect sound is "fine" all the drivers are fine, I see the volume going up, I know the right speaker is "default" nothing is muted. I remove the speakers plug them into the other computer and they work fine. Also the head phones don't work in any slot either (i have several jacks on the computer for headphones)I am thinking during the reboot I have fried something on the MB preventing me from using the analog cables for sound. Should I try the HDMI on the video card to avoid having to replace the MB if this was the case? Windows 7 does not tell me anything is wrong with any hardware.I even updated the drivers for sound etc but remember this is a sudden issue, thats why I dont think its a "setting" problem.

I have a strange issue with my PC, I keep getting BSOD whenever I power my PC on. It BSOD's a few minutes after booting Windows or sometimes half way through loading with different error messages and usually repeats the same process about 3 times, after that all is fine. The PC will not crash at all, and would be on for hours on end, either idling, playing media/gaming/browsing etc. BSOD Error messages are often; driver not equal or less etc, USB Bug code, non page area etc.I have attached a few days worth of Minidumps that have been created (most recent).Please note, iv'e tested my memory (which most always suggest) and Memtest found no faults on a full test. And I know for sure it cannot be that otherwise it would crash whilst doing something that requires much more memory use.Iv'e took every USB's out of the ports and the problem is still there.It must be a corrupt driver of some kind or a problem with bootup/system files?

This may be difficult to troubleshoot because I have very few details about the computer in question. A friend called me because I am fairly good with basic computer problems. I'm not sure of the hardware specs, but it's a 2010 or 2011 model PC with Windows 7 installed. They did a Windows Update, and let it update just fine - they did not restart or shut down at all during the update. Once the update completed however, they can't open anything up.
Every time they try opening a program, they get an error message. Also, he mentioned that at first after the update, it wouldn't even boot up. He would get a message saying that he needs to restore to system defaults. Somehow, they got the computer to boot but it wont open any programs. How do you reset a Windows 7 computer to factory settings?
I just built a new system today, and I have been running into some significant issues whenever I try to reboot. Basically, the system hangs up on the Starting Windows screen at the exact same instance whenever I reboot. This has been happening since I installed Windows 7 64-bit edition. After I booted and installed off of the installation DVD, it froze up on the first restart. I then tried to install Windows again. That worked, but it then again froze on the first reboot. I then had to manually shut down the pc and start it up again. Fortunately, it picked up where I left off and finished the Windows 7 install.After I installed Windows 7, I have had no problems whatsoever expect for when I restart, as the system freezes at the point specified on the image above. However, if I shut down my computer and then start it up, everything loads fine.
Here are my specs:
AMD Phenom II Black Edition dual core 3.2 ghz CPU (all four cores unlocked, overclocked at 3.8 ghz)
HIS Radeon HD 4670 GPU
BIOSTAR T A870+ mobo

Windows 7 always freezes on restart, but starts up fine after shutdown
View 2 Replies View Relatedso i finally decided to install Windows 7 x86 - everything went well - put all the standard stuff on there etc - i rebooted many times because of installations and updates
on my last reboot it just got stock in the bios screen (verifying dmi pool data..success! etc)
so i rebooted, same thing, took the disc out, same thing - turned off boot devices same thing
tried to use window's useless repair tools (whatever happened to repair install?) which didn't help - so i decided to format and reinstall - then it says it was unable to do that (partition error or something)
the annoying this is...is that this EXACT..i mean EXACT same thing happened when i installed vista sp1 from scratch - this happened - and to fix it i had to leave my pc open overnight with the hard drive cables all unplugged..in the morning with my fingers crossed i tried the installation again - and it worked.
my d: always disappears (single hard disk sata 233gig (250)) - sometimes it'll vanish from my computer and stuff - but this can't be the problem because the d: is a single drive on its own - my c: is a25gig partition from my e: - so it's completely unrelated.
does it matter how i replug the sata cables (2 of them) into the mother board? - they're both being recognised anyway
this is really annoying though - mostly because there isn't really an explanation - and because this random stuff always happens to my pc! - is it my hard drive because that's the only thing that would half- make sense
Windows 7 is rebooting , sometimes once acuople of days or could be once an hour but always when im away. the reboot is clean and i get the normal windows screenhat could be the reason? there are no any usb atachments and comp is quite new.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled Windows 7 from the recovery partition and everything seemed to went fine but upon rebooting, it does a "system setup" and when it finishes the desktop appears with the message like "Computer needs to reboot to finish driver installation. Do not touch mouse or touchpad." It then reboots on its own.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI noticed that I was running in single channel config, so I decided to move my ram around to run in dual channel. On reboot it says its running in dual channel, but my system reboots continuosly after the loading screen. Works perfectly fine if I switch it back to single.
Do I need to edit something in BIOS to get this to work or am I better off just sticking to single channel?
I have been having this issue where on windows 7 64bit every time I hit shutdown my laptop shuts down and then after 5 seconds it will restart again. I have reset laptop back to factory settings, I have downloaded latest bios update and installed and no luck at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay so i have this machine, acer m3100, that originally had windows vista. I tried to do a clean install of windows 7, with an original windows 7 installation cd.Everything would go okay until right after the computer restarts and goes to the part of COMPLETING INSTALLATION. At that moment my screen suddenly flashes with the blue screen of death. i wasnt able to right the error that shows up though. Then the computer restarts and goes to setup devices and right after that an error message appears saying, windows did not complete installation, due to an unexpected restart, restart the computer and restart the installation. If i click okay it will go into an endless loop. Restarting one time after another. So i thought i would install windows vista again. Try to make things the way they were before, but i get the same error. i'm only able to install xp. With XP everything works fine. I do want to be able to install windows 7 though.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI rebooted my computer today and now every time I try and bring it up it goes in to the recovery console and doesn't show that I have an operating system loaded. I have tried everything from safe mode, to last known good config, vga mode, tried repairing errors, and nothing works. I tried System Restore from the Recovery Console options but it kept reading that I must "Select an operating system in order to continue". Obviously, I can't select one if it isn't there to do so. I think my hard drive is going bad from a diagnostic test, so I need to get it booted up just long enough to create a backup so I don't lose years worth of work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having an issue doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 Enterprise on a 40GB Intel 320 series SSD. The install will go as far as 'Completing Installation' before the screen goes blank, the computer restarts, makes another attempt to complete installation, with the screen eventually going blank again (monitor indicator turns amber, system non-engaged)I've done an extensive amount of Googling, and have followed the installation guide found here on the sevenforums - SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation (specifically, routine #4)[CODE]
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 RC1 (7100) 64 bit on my wifes' Dell inspiron 1525 laptop.
Every was fine and dandy until my wife hit the "media direct" button instead of the power button to start the Laptop.
Now it just keeps on rebooting over and over....
Is there a way to stop it from trying to load media direct, of fix-it so it loads it correctly then be able to shut it down ?
So I was on the internet when my computer close out of everything, and just shuts down. I my head I was saying, oh is it rebooting, android sdk unpacked fast(its a program that lets me play games and apps on windows). So as the computer restarted it went to a black screen with a blinking course And after 10-15seconds it restarts, just to starts the whole process over again. So I used my phone to get on the internet to check how to fix it, saying "oh man what is wrong, a virus maybe?" I seen some threads on different site with answers saying to to reboot in safemode using f8 and ... so and so. So I did it. nothing happened. So i held it, nothing. ( it just doesn't work) so now im stuck. With a rebooting computer. what to do now? I also heard a bout a error r something. It just reboots it there is a error, I don't know.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have win 7 Ultimate, and every time I reboot win, lot of devices became unusable with "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)". I have to do troubleshoot of my notebook (in "Devices and Printers") and then almost all device with error 24 is uninstalled/installed and after that it is working fine. There are some devices
(e.g. Hamachi Network Interface, VMware Virtual Eth Adapter) which are not healed with notebook troubleshoot. Those devices can't be found in "Network Connections", but they are working fine.
Does anybody have a clue? (this is really irritating to reinstall all devices after every reboot)
Last night, I forced shut down my laptop, holding the power button. Now it won't load Windows at all. It turns on, the IBM thing comes on, it's a blank screen with a __ at the top right that's blinking. Then it restarts, and the process starts all over again. I have forced shut down my laptop a lot of times, bit this the first time this ever happened.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install Windows 7. I put in the DVD and the installation starts. It expands the windows files then says it needs to reboot. It reboots and goes through the whole process again, says it needs to reboot and it keeps going in circles. I did this three times with the same results. I tried rebooting from the hard drive with the DVD not in the drive and nothing happened.
What is going on?
I have a dell optiplex 360 that is running windows 7. I added a video card geforce 7950 gt, at the time when I added this the computer was running fine for months. Then I upgraded the power supply to a raidmax rx730ss because the video card needed the 6 pin power supply that the old psu didn't have. After I installed the new PSU the computer would start running the post (dell logo screen) finish the load bar, go to a black screen then reboot and start running post again. the computer does this indefinitely as far as I can tell.I installed the old power supply and it did the exact same thing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and now I think I have some sort of virus. Within minutes of logging onto my computer, a message keeps popping up that there is a critical error and that the computer will restart within one minute. I have tried to do anything I possibly can to get rid of this issue! It does the same thing while booting up in safemode as well. I also tried to restore my computer to a previous date before this occurred, and it still keeps happening. I figured i'd try to restore it to factory settings also, but it does not give me the option while booting up (f11), or on my control panel. I also tried using the TDSSkiller but my computer reboots before the scanning/fixing finishes.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Asus G73JH laptop [Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit] is about 2.5 years old and the other day it began suddenly freezing and rebooting. What I mean by that is the following: A) When it freezes, there is no warning, no gradual slow down, no anything. The mouse instantly refuses to respond, the computer makes no "thinking" internal noises, nothing. I'm forced to hard reboot. When it reboots itself, it is also instantly. There is no gradual closing of programs, it's just SHABANG. This became an issue suddenly. One day it was fine, the next it was doing this unpredictably.So I decided to go ahead and reformat the thing and re-installed everything via the Asus-provided "AI Recovery Burner" program.Annnd it's still having the same problems. Not only did I experience several errors when trying to do the million and one Windows updates, but it's still freezing and rebooting. Even in safe mode, it freezes. The timing of these things is unpredictable, it could happen 2 minutes after boot-up or, the computer could run fine for hours. So far, the freezing is much more common than the rebooting. Assuming the issue was hardware related, I ran Memtest86 last night for 7 iterations and it turned up zero errors.

It says it's going to reboot and then does. When it's starting back up, is says setup is updating the registry. Then it says setup is starting services. It restarts again and when it gets to the same spot, out of nowhere the PC reboots and gets to the same point before endless rebooting.
I tried installing both 32 and 64 bit versions but the same problem with both of them. The 32 bit version I was able to get installed just fine on 2 old XP computers my friend had, so I know the disc itself is good.
I've tried just about everything I can think of but can't get past this issue. And every attempt is a big deal because I have to then restore my PC back to the original factory condition and it takes time. I don't have another PC of my own to troubleshoot with either. I've tried raising the RAM to 4GB but that had no effect. I'm sorta a beginner so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been trying to clean install Windows 7 ultimate (DVD is fine, have installed on my friend's laptop successfully) since last week, but with no luck.

It turns into rebooting loop stopped every time before windows logo shows up. Also tried with Sapphire HD 3650 512MB (Dual DVI) graphic card, the results were the same.

i don't know if this is what is causing the rebooting issue or not. I exported a backup of the registry before i made the changes. once i discovered the problems i tried ti import the registry backup file to restore the original settings and it started to process and then gave me an error saying that it couldn't import the .reg file.so i went in and manually changed the values back but my PC is still rebooting.
