I am having an issue with my system time. After reboot it reverts back a few hours. During the day it will also stop and freeze on a curtain time. If I install a third party time sync program it works ok. I have checked the Internet time server and it is turned on. I also set the net time server to automatic instead of manual.
View 7 RepliesNT Kernel & System rises to top of list in task manager and then just totally stops installs from proceeding. I have fought NT Kernel & System on 3 computers running Win 7 x64 ever since Win 7 has been out. No one yet that I know of has been able to solve the issue. I now need to install Java and can't because of NT Kernel & System stops it. I have tried everything on every forum and sites l find with Google searches. Nothing has worked yet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI spilt some water on my laptop a few days ago but fortunately it's completely dried out and working perfectly.... apart from this minor (but important) issue.
Problem: the system time does not stay correct. Even after manually updating the BIOS time and also even after manually syncing it with the various servers available under the time options.
Fix: set the internet time sync interval to every minute rather than its default setting? How do I do this?
P.S. This couldn't be a CMOS battery issue surely because even when the system is on and plugged in the system time still deviates from correct. (I assume the CMOS battery is only used when the system is powered off.) If I need it replaced, how does that sit with my Dell hardware warranty?
So I've got an ASRock motherboard that's about 3 months old and I'm running Windows 7. Earlier today, I started having a strange problem with the system time changing randomly. At first, I thought it was just a daylight savings time issue, so I disabled the automatic updating for daylight savings time. The problem still persisted. I also tried disabling the automatic time synchronization, but that didn't fix the problem either. I thought it may have been the CMOS battery, so I rebooted and checked the time in the bios. The bios shows the correct time/date. The only incorrect time and date is shown in Windows itself. After this, I tried updating the synchronization task to run every 5 minutes, but the clock is still changing to a different time. The time change is random, from around an hour to up to six or seven hours. The date doesn't change, just the time. My timezone is correct, and as the problem persisted without having automatic adjust for daylight savings time enabled, I can't see that it's the problem.Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? About the only idea I have left is some sort of virus. But AVG and Malwarebytes haven't picked anything up. Is there some kind of software that gets auto-installed that can screw with system time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy ISP lmits my download to almost nothing, except for three hours in the early morning. I have a monitor in my notification area that tells how many MB I have left (this is from the ISP), and during the day with nothing running my MB slowly drops. I installed NetBalancer, to see where all the download was going, and all I can find downloading is Windows Update, and System Resources. At least for the most part that is.So my question is, Is there any way to limit Windows Update, and other Windows Systems to downloading only during those three hours? I have Windows Update setting set to only Install at 4:00am. But it still downloads during the day. So is there any thing I can do, a reg edit, or something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not talking about a clicking the 2 boxes next to the close[X] button in the top right corner, I mean literally clicking on a side of a window and dragging it to enlarge it will freeze the system. I've also been having random freezing and random rebooting issues ( no BSOD) for the past couple of weeks and unfortunately haven't been able to dedicate enough time to diagnose the problem. I'm hoping the recent discovery of this very specific cause to a system crash will possibly lead to the culprit of my problems.- Ran Memtest86 - No problems found- Prime95 - Temps seems stable while its running but wont make it past the 5-10 minute mark before freezing.- Bios up to date- GPU driver is up to date (anything else need to be up to date driver wise?)- Tried switching RAM posistion between both slots, timings are within spec

I have a Toshiba Satellite L305-A5934 with Windows 7 Pro 32bit that decided to suddenly stop working and tried to run System Repair. The System Repair wouldn't work and I tried to re-install windows using my Windows 7 CD that I've used several times in the past. When the installation got to the License Agreement page, I couldn't click on anything. The cursor moved around the screen just fine but I couldn't click on anything.
I removed the hard drive and put it in a different model Toshiba Satellite and it allowed me to install the windows 7 cd without any problems. I mentioned my problem to a co-worker and he said that he had had the same problem with his computer. He said that he bought a new hard drive for the computer and all was well. So I bought a new hard drive and put it in the L305-A5934 and tried to install windows again but again, when I got to the license agreement, I couldn't click on anything.

My problem is that when I do this, my computer completely locks up. I've noticed that as soon as I do this, Windows 7's RAM Cache jumps up to 1.7gb. And I've only got 2gb of RAM, so it leaves only 300mb for my audio program to run, and I think this is the problem.
Is there a way to temporarily or permanently disable Windows 7's ability to cache your RAM? Because it doesn't seem to be disabling when I want it to.

On one machine I have tried everything to get past a CD/DVD Driver request. The first DVD driver is a NEC ND-2500A. I found what I thought were the drivers, but whenever I get to the point of selecting the drive (with the drivers in it) they don't appear within the DVD drive.
I even went as far as to load the driver onto the HDD I am installing Win& to. After may attempts, with no luck, I installed a plug and play CD/DVD player. Now, I have never had driver's for this unit, but it still wants drivers for it.
What am I missing here? Why won't it get past this point. I have even gone as far as disconnecting C drive and tried loading directly to D drive (second HDD drive).
On the second computer it mentions something about an I/O shield problem and wont even let me get into the setup stage.
I have a laptop running Win 7 32-bit. I configured a network printer, which is an HP Deskjet 720 that is connected to an XP machine and shared. That worked fine. But I just purchased a new 64-bit desktop, and I can't print to that network printer. I can install the printer, and the status shows it's available/ready. But when I try to print a test page, nothing happens. When I check the document status, I get a message saying that the print spooler needs to be started. I've restarted it several times, but it still doesn't work. I've searched the forum and Googled this problem. Lots of users seem to have this same issue. I've tried all suggestions, but nothing works. The spooler is set to automatically start, and the restart time after error is zero. I decided that I'd try replacing the printer driver. But when I go into Control Panel and look at printer properties, the Advanced tab where I should be able to update the drive is all grayed out. So I'm stuck.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Win 7 Ultimate x64 on a desktop with the OS loaded on an Intel 160GB G2 SSD as C:. I've noticed that Defrag is happening on the SSD drive. I've confirmed this in two ways: First, looking at the Last Run date in the Disk Defragmenter UI. The date associated with the SSD drive C: continues to move forward. Second, I've looked in the event log and have confirmed that there are messages stating the successful defragmentation on the C: drive.
I have 3 drives in my system. The SSD drive is C:. I have 2 WD 750GB drives as D: and E:. If I look at the Defragmentation Schedule UI, only drive D: and E: appear. Just to be safe I turned off Scheduled Defragmentation and Defragmentation has stopped on D: and E: but continues on C:.
Looking at the event log, there seems to be no discernable pattern as to when the defrag happens on the SSD:
I can't find any place to stop Defragmentation from happening on C:. Any suggestions?
