I have a home build pc msi mother board p45 neo, 2gb corsair ram, nvida geforce 9800, wd 400 hd & WD 160. After I shut down and restarted PC it states windows is staring but never loads.I tried to go in safe mode trying all their options but nothing happens, I can not go into safe mode.I also tried booting from the cd but still it will not load.
I have search several internet boards and have tried everything, so while searching the boards from another computer it finally went into the option for sytem restore or repair I hit system repair and it ran thru a few things and i neglected to copy down the results but i believe it said something about boot config error. hit repair I hit repair and it said to click finish and restart still nothing.
After i press any key to reboot from DVD, the windows is loading. But when it reach to the screen where we suppose to select language, currency & time format and keyboard layout, the screen become stuck. Mouse cursor doesn't appear and keyboard also not available to use.
Ran my Uniblue application to update drivers; after that cannot run mouse or keyboard once Windows loads (I have tried different USB ports--none seem to work).
Today I clicked on Internet Explorer and tried a Google Search. I only did one left-click of my mouse each time.Multple windows appeared and continued to propagate non-stop, until I closed all windows. Does anyone know what could be causing that? I know that I could do a restore to yesterday and the problem would probably go away, but I would like to know the cause of it.
I've recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit). Now the problem is the "Starting Windows" didn't change, it is still from the 7 starter (the vista like), it didn't change into a something spherical. Is it really like that if you installed windows 7 ultimate from starter?
I am running: Windows 7 64bit On: Acer Aspire 5750 laptop
For a couple months my computer has been locking up at random intervals for several seconds each time. I got no error messages and each time it came back acting fine, so I just assumed I had too much running. Now, I'm not so sure it wasn't the HD failing, because...
Last week, I noticed the shield on the shutdown button indicating windows needed to run an update. I closed out of everything and pushed the button to shutdown/install updates. The computer immediately crashed almost as if I had held down the power button. When I attempted to restart it, my only 2 options were to start normally or launch repair mode. Normal didn't work, so I launched repair. Repair ran for close to 4 days. In the first 36 hours it asked to be restarted twice, after that it just kept running until finally I gave up and shut it down with the power button.
Like a moron, I do not have a recent backup of my files and really wish they could still be saved.
Since then:Tried to rescue files with Umbutu boot stick- error said it could not mount to drive. Tried to launch safe mode with command prompt via F8- system went back into repair mode instead. Tried to launch to last known good configuration via F8- system went back to repair mode, again. Tried to launch via Windows Boot Disk- the screen it gave me was not the same screen as the screenshots on the forums suggested I should get. My screen was an Acer logo with 3 options, but only 2 I could chose and both promised to wipe my data. One was to repair windows and the other was to replace it. I chose neither in an effort to not loose my data. From other peoples screen shots it looks like this disk should give me many more options, including one for command prompt. Tried Windows boot disk again, disk would not load this time. Now I'm stuck! How can I check for HD failure if I can't get a command prompt or OS? It seems like everything I try goes right back into the same repair mode that ran for 4 days and did nothing good and forces me to shut down with power button despite how bad that is to do.
Mysteriously, the audiodg.exe service seems not to run in the active processes as a result of which I could get sound. When I try to run the process through new task option , it loads up and immediately disappears.What do I do? Other audio services and everything seems fine. It used to run on same machine with the process on.
I'm setting up my system drive with 3 operating systems:
1) Windows 7 64 bit (for home use) 2) Win XP (for legacy programs) 3) Windows 7 64 bit (for work use)
...in that order on the hard drive. Rather than using Windows own boot manager, I'm using the open source GAG boot manager (which, like lots of third party boot managers, runs before any OS loads so you can pick which OS to run - and then hides the other OS's and their entire partitions until you reboot.) I've done this sort of thing with multiple WinXP loads before, no issues. In fact, this very hard disk used to have three WinXp loads on it (in position 1 and 3 above). I formatted those partitions and replaced them with the Win7 loads, which is when the problem started.Everything worked fine until I added the SECOND load of Win 7 (third on the hard drive, as above). It installs properly, but when I try to run it, it hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen (and the spinning windows logo just stays spinning infinitely).if I then immediately reboot and run the FIRST load of Windows 7 (which was hidden, worked fine before, and lives on its own separate partition), I get a screen right away saying a problem happened last time I ran it! Which isn't true - the problem happened when I just ran the SECOND load of Windows 7, not the first! Remember, these Win7 loads are totally separate. But for some reason, it thinks there was a problem. It even asks me if I want to enter repair mode. Spooky...Anyway, I do NOT choose to repair and instead just say "run normally". And everything then boots fine. (Of course!) And sure enough, if I shut down and simply choose to run that same first load of Win7 a second time, it again works with no problems reported. BUT... if I then proceed to run the SECOND load of Windows 7, it again hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen, and - you guessed it - if then try to run the FIRST copy of Win7, it will again report it had a problem last time it was loaded. Which starts the whole thing over again....
I built my PC in november of 2010. These are the components:Motherboard - ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD MotherboardHard drive - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAKS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Driveprocessor - AMD Athlon II X3 440 Rana 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX440WFGIBOXgraphics - PNY VCGGTX570XPB GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Cardpower supply - 1 x Rosewill LIGHTNING Series LIGHTNING-1000 1000WATX12V/EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active-PFC Power Supplymemory - 2 x Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339The monitor is a 1920 x 1080 LED 23 inch monitorI just bought windows 7 from best buy and I installed it and it was working just fine until I installed the drivers that came with the motherboard. After I installed the drivers and rebooted the computer it would load to a black screen and stay black. I get a windows 7 logo and a progress bar and then the screen goes black right when it is supposed to go to a login screen. I decided to reinstall the operating system again and after the second install it worked fine until I installed the drivers for the graphics card.
I opened up my PC to move the front audio cable so that it wasn't sitting on the graphics card (was causing EM interference).When I tried to reboot, my computer now gets to the windows loading screen, then stops outputting video - so the monitor goes blank and eventually turns off. Windows continues to load in the background as I can hear the startup sound play.
1) Booting into safe mode (works fine, can view the desktop etc.)
2) Booting into low resolution mode (doesn't work, same issue)
3) Booting into safe mode, un-installing the graphics card, booting into normal mode and reinstalling drivers for graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
4) Trying a different PCI-E slot (doesn't work, same issue)
5) Trying a different output on the graphics card (doesn't work, same issue)
6) Hard CMOS reset (doesn't work, same issue)
7) Trying a different graphics card (even worse, didn't get any video out even at BIOS screen - can't guarantee card is working as I don't have a second machine to test with but it was working the last time I used it a couple of months ago. Second card was ATI rather than Nvidia so shouldn't be using same drivers).
Things I intend to try but haven't had time:
1) Plugging into a different monitor (heard some people mentioning it may be to do with the monitor drivers not reporting max screen settings properly, I could find any windows 7 x64 drivers for my monitor as its so old but I do have a TV I can test with)
I have a weird situation: Just a normal day working on my pc while it messages me, system rebooting. It reboots without any errors. I log back into my system,everything seems fine. I notticed on my taskbar none of my applications loaded.Usually, MSN, my vid card, winamp...icons are loaded up and icons are in taskbar but not there! I performed many actions to no avail.System restore, safemode boot, selective services boot, sfc /scannow and so on.I checked in Event viewer and see 5-6 service that did not responde to the start or control in a timely fashion. Ex: acrobat, asus, bonjour, apple.... Got one I dint like: The server {06622D85-6856-4460-8DE1-A81921B41C4B} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.When i click on any applications mostly non-MS apps nothing happens. Not even the services starts up in task man. I tried to open the service lets say, Steam client and get the Timeout error right away.
Windows 7 64bit is freezing after i type in my password and hit enter.I can boot into safe mode just fine. While in safe mode, I uninstall my video card driver. This then allows me to boot back into normal win7 64bit mode. I have yet to find a video card driver that works. All of this was working 3 days ago. I know what has changed but nothing that should affect the vid card. [code]
running in safe mode.anytime a try to run win7 pro 64bit any click freezes windows.have run all the troubleshooters, the one that i cant resolve is windows update. it has "probable corrupted files"..it (win update) wont run in safe mode.
I have been working on the problem for 2 days now and have gotten to various stages of working and not working. The issue at its worst will always BSOD when starting windows even using the various options. I have since then used the command prompt option form the install disc to run chkdsk and other repair options (fixmbr sfc /scannow) and am now able to boot into windows most of the time. Oh and sfc /scannow reports corruption but unable to fixI believe it is the work of some sort of malware but i have run updated versions of kaspersky and malwarebytes as well as rkill in an attempt to remove it but all report back that there is no malware. If that is the case then I feel like my drivers have been corrupted somehow and have replaced most of them but still get BSOD's but usually after I try to run a full security scan.
The only lead I have is the log file from sfc /scannow. Oh and most of my issues happened after running driver verifier so thats why I believe it is a corrupted driver and I recently believe that my Diablo 3 account was stolen by a keylogger but yet again using all the different security options that I have since downloaded found nothing including running avg with a linux disk at startup.Anyway Im sure i forgot to add stuff that I did but hopefuly we can figure it out i feel like my only uption is to do a repair install which i think I tried bu didnt work since my install drive is only 64GB and has 6 GB space left.
since about two weeks ago, every two times I power my laptop on, windows fails to load the my user profile and greets me with the temp user profile where I can't access my files and such. however, if I reboot after that it loads my user profile sucessfully. but if I reboot again It loads the temp profile. I scanned unsing My antivirus, and it turned up no bad results. I then tried a disk check, but it only was on for less then 5 seconds when it just said "the disk is clean." i'm not sure what to do now. any suggestions? it's really irritataing having to constantly reboot every time i turn my laptop on.
I have a really strange problem with my new desktop PC. Right when Win7 starts and the desktop appears, the PC case starts emitting a noise with a really high pitch. I tried almost everything to find out which component emits this noise (it's not the fans, nor the CPU, nor the video card, nor the hard drives). After hours no end of trying everything I could think of, I found out that the only way to stop the noise is to disable an item called "USB Input Device" from the Device Manager of Win7. I have several items called that way, but only one is causing the noise. When I do disable the device, the mouse stops working and the noise is gone entirely.
But as soon as I enable the device, or plug another USB mouse on the PC, the noise comes back. But here's the interesting thing: I found out that if I start Win7 in safe-mode, even with all services and network on, it doesn't emit the noise, and the mouse works perfectly anyeays. I even see that same device enabled in the Device Manager, but it doesn't make a sound. I cannot use Win7 in safe-mode all the time, but I also cannot use the PC without a mouse. I'm thinking on buying a PS2 mouse instead of a USB mouse and try that, but I really like both my wireless Logitechs.
After a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I used windows update to install all the updates available, and then after restarting I install the AMD graphics drivers. Upon rebooting, the system just hangs on the Windows Loading Logo.
What I have done so far:
I have tried the 11.10 and 11.11 drivers, same effect.I tried just using the driver only and the full catalyst package, both produce the same results.I have tried installing the drivers supplied by windows, but this process fails with an error code that suggests that I already have drivers in place. I have used driver sweeper in safe made to get rid of any video drivers before trying to reinstall, but the effect is the same. After every driver install, I must reboot into safe mood and restore to a previous point to be able to boot back into the full version of windows.
Previous History:This system was working fine with the 11.10 Catalyst package before reinstalling windows.

My Toshiba laptop was recently upgraded (clean install) of windows 7 Ultimate -64 bit. It worked perfectly fine and fast.. now it jst freezes after windows 7 loads. It starts up normally and then when all the Icons are refreshing (turn into white paper icons) it freezes along with the mouse. Can't do anything but turn off. It always happens. I can boot onto safe mode fine.
I have a windows 7 ultimate x32 installed on the C partition ... I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an other partition D it was ok but when I've restarted the computer it loads Windows 7 directly so I would like to know how to add Ubuntu to the boot list.
When I double click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar the Bluetooth Devices window comes up, the green bar loads to 99% and nothing happens, even though I have 2 turned on Bluetooth devices near the dongle. I have also tried using the software (BlueSoleil) that came with the dongle, but that doesn't work either. All the devices in the device manager are installed correctly (no unknown devices). I am using Windows 7 Premium.
Formatted Windows 7 loads shows Win 7 Logo and Screen blank with cursor
I have an Acer laptop 4551, got hit by nasty viruses and on top no restore intact. I formatted the hard drive which gave me an error 83% and stopped. Today I turned on laptop to install fresh genuine Windows 7, I popped in the DVD and done everything in BIOS selected Boot from CD. Everything was Ok I hit enter to Continue then comes the Windows 7 logo and after that a blank black screen with Cursor, that's it! I done that some 5/6 times but no luck.
I have installed windows 7 in C: drive and after than i installed windows Xp in D: drive.But now when i start my computer it automatically start windows Xp.in the C: i searched for the boot.ini it was windows xp written there also.
I've been having problems with Facebook for the past few days. It loads erratically in both Firefox and Chrome but it doesn't seem to have any problem loading in IE.
I got a problem with dual booting, I first installed windows 7 and right after that I install xp on a different partition. But now it only loads up xp? I cant chose which one I want to start. Pressed my computer and properties but there isn't any windows 7 only windows xp?
I'm getting an inconsistant BSOD just after my desktop loads from a bootup. Meaning, sometimes it BSODs and sometimes not. I read the minidump everytime and it shows the same information. This is what it shows.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Caused by driver: win32k.sys Caused by address: win32k.sys+2517af Crash address: ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40
I just ran a Chkdsk /r but nothing was found. I'm thinking it may be a memory error?
My computer BSODs at random times usually whenever I load Star Wars: The Old Republic. At first I thought it was overheating, but I have changed my cooling and it is still doing the same thing.
Last week I tried to install IE9 after some annoying pop-ups. The installation got interrupted somehow. I didn't care about that because I would never use that browser anyway.
Soon I realised I was not able to use Windows Live Messenger anylonger. After logging in, an error occurs: "Can't find ordinal 379 in DLL-files iertutil.dll" (translated from dutch, so it could be a little different in English). After this error, msn closes directly. I did some research and I read I could fix this problem by editing some internetoptions in the control panel. But when I click on internetoptions, nothing happens.
MSN isn't the only application giving this error. I experienced the same error in some other applications like paint.NET.
Also, I can't open VMWare anylonger. It runs in processes but on screen nothing happens. Skype closes directly after crashing, WOW won't start anylonger,... These are just some of the problems I experienced in the last 6 days.
