i just bought a new Asus laptop a few months ago everything seemed well until it started crashing saying that it faield to initialize video drive.i tried a couple of methods using gparted testdsk chkdsk,it wont boot into safe mode but i managed to boot from cd.
I tried all tools from system recovery like startup repair system restore and none seem to work also i get a message in the system recovery box Operating system:Unknown on(Unknown)Local Disk
my laptop is an asus k53s model with a 750hdd ntfs format i used gparted to make new partitions out of the 750hdd.
Nothing seems to work and id rather not make a clean install because i have very important files on it that i cant afford to lose.
Also when i boot into gparted i can see all partitions,but yellow triangle with a ! is shown near my C partition where i have windows installed.I have no idea what to do to make it see my C:
This is a computer on which Vista x64 originally was installed. I upgraded to Windows 7x64 with the upgrade DVD. It's based on an Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard running SATA RAID0 on a pair of 1 TB HDDs with 6GB of RAM and 2 Pioneer DVD drives. My graphics card is a Matrox M9210 PCIe x16 with dual displays.The computer worked fine until recently, when EAC and dBpoweramp began freezing when ripping CDs. Acronis True Image also freezes when I try to write a bootable CDR. These functions don't work any better in Safe Mode. Other programs function normally, and Acronis works fine except when trying to write to media.
I did a System Restore to the earliest Restore Point that worked, but it wasn't early enough. I have an Acronis complete backup from 6 months ago when I was ripping regularly without incident, but would rather try to fix the problem than backing up the whole drive, then merging in my data files from a current backup.I have scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG 2012, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, and Memtest 86+ (for 3 hours), all of which found no problems. Here are the WhoCrashed reports since the System Restore, both apparently from the same crash while trying to write an Acronis CDR in Safe Mode:windows version: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 6.1, [CODE]This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: iastor.sys (Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver - x64, Intel Corporation).Google searches haven't turned up a case exactly like this, and I'm unsure of what to do next.
when my girlfriend was trying to watch a Internet video, the computer would freeze and go to a blank screen. this also happened when she tried to sign into myspace? when i was putting 7 on, there was no problem. i updated flash, java, etc. is windows 7 . . . - x86 (32-bit) - the original installed os on the system? no, vista was - an oem or full retail version? full retail - what is the age of system (hardware)? 4-5 years old? - what is the age of os installation (have you re-installed the os?) 1 month, no.
it'll say video error occured and driver reset. this only occured during the previous nvidia driver. once updated it didnt happen.however, i was playing battlefield 3 and had a Internet video running in the background and the sound stuttered as before and my screen black and my machine restarted saying thee was some hyper thing problem on restart. i started in safe mode to get all my dump files. the problem on the 10/28/2011 is before i updated the new driver.the text file is what part of the message said.
I have shut off cache in CPU as blue screen states and problem stops, problem has happened in gameplay too. After a little bit of research I have noticed that I am missing a non plug and play driver TCP/IP Protocol Driver.
and this is the code from the blue screen itself stop 0x00000116 (0xFFFFFA8009B434EO, 0x000000000000000?, 0x0000000000000002) i took a picture of it with my camera but missed that last digit thus the ? below that on the screen was this
atikmpag.sys - address FFFFF88000E5340C base at FFFFF88000E4C000. DateSt?? 4da507aa
im lost i tried searching these codes and some came up with random stuff (some of it worried me like the remote access stuff) and others dont seem to exist at least in a googleable database?
After restart it sometimes does not find the primary hard drive. The error pops up from time to time. Sometimes from browsing the web, downloading or playing a game. It even pops up while I`m not doing anything at all. I did a checkdisk and it turned out clean.
I've just finished building my new computer and I'm getting BSOD errors when first formatting a hard drive and secondly (after a successful format) installing a game on it.My boot up SSD drive seems to be fine, it's just my other hard drive.64bit Windows 7 Home premium. Full version I bought a a few days ago. The whole computer is new. If you need any further information, let me no.8GB RAM. Intel Core i5 2500k CPU. Radeon 7850 graphics. 120ish SSD. 1Tb hard drive. Asus P8Z68-V Pro gen3 motherboard.Edit:having just seen a notice, I've updated the post to contain two attachments. Or atleast I think I have
my computer has been dead for the last few days so to speak. For two days ago I turned on my computer - it started up just like any other day. I saw the Desktop and bang, blue screen of death. This has not happened since I installed Windows on my new SSD Harddisk (I'm running with two disks, one SSD for Windows and a HDD for everything else), so I simply started my computer again. (My computer worked just fine last weekend, no problems at all. I had a Windows Update and then this happened..).During the set-up it stopped after the Motherboard-image - I had to chose between starting Windows Normal or repair it. Starting Windows normally does not help - it just give me BSOD right before or right after hitting the desktop. (Sometimes even before the Welcome-screen). So choosing to repair Windows during the setup is the only thing I can do.
By doing so, Windows searches for errors. I get the following error codes: 0x0 0x490 ..and some with 6 f's.(Today and yesterday I only got 0x0, which apparently stands for 'unknown').Hitting F8 during setup and loading Windows in safe-mode (/secure mode?) does not help either, I get BSOD here as well.I have tried to change the boot location (different disks and from CD). As a standard, its booting from my harddisk - all though it's booting from the wrong disk (the HDD). When I'm choosing the SSD I can't get any further and I get the message: "Missing Bootmgr..". The only way to boot the computer correctly (and maybe fix the missing boot manager) is by booting from a Windows 7 CD. I get the same two options (Normal / Repair) when booting from the CD though.. When I chose repair it seems to be fixing something - but in the end it says it couldn't find any errors. I have also tried to enter the following commands into the CMD: Bootrec /fixmbr Bootrec /fixboot Bootrec /rebuildbcd.The first two are completed with no errors or messages. The last one is unable to find any Windows installations (this happen when using both C and D).
I am able to use a safety backup copy which I took when I all out of sudden got access to the computer.. (Don't ask my why or how!), that is however not solving the problem, it's only allowing me to load the computer once. When it's loading it's checking the disk first and then loading normally -- I just tried that for a few minutes ago and my screen just turned black.
I recently downloaded windows 7 on my dell dimension e310 (dv051 as it says on the resource cd) and now i need to find a video driver that is compatible with my computer and operating system, but i cant seem to find one . I tried using dell support center, but that cant provide a video driver either.
My system info:
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz with 1 core and 2 threads Hard Drive- Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA Device Optical Drive- Optiarc DVD + -RW ND -3570A Windows 7 Ultimate x32 SP1
use to stop windows 7 from auto installing sound drivers. I have Realteck onboard audio on my Asrock 890 Deluxe Am3 motherboard. And have ATI catalyst for my ATI video Cards (crossfired) . I want to use Realteck as my for default sound, so when I go to device manager and uninstall the ati hd audio drivers they get deleted, but when I reboot my pc windows 7 reinstalls the ati hd drivers. How can I stop windows 7 from reinstalling the ati hd drivers. The reason I don't want two well really three sets of audio drivers because the cards are crossfired windows 7 is installing two sets of ati hd sound drivers one for each video card and the Realteck drivers, is because windows 7 is crashing when gaming and I think the sound drivers are conflicting and causing the crashes
I have the Logitech x520 speakers and Windows 7 x64. Since I've installed the new os, my 5.1 has not been working. Just the main front left and right speakers work, plus the sub. Under the configuration, it is set to 5.1, and when I run a test, all speakers make the test noise. I then thought it was iTunes, but doesn't seem like it. How come my speakers test correctly, but when I play music, only two +sub work?
I have a GA B75M D3V (bios version F9), paired with Intel Core i5 3550 (Ivy Bridge), 2 x 4 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3 PC1600.Installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1 on it.Strange problem is, after using my computer for some time, perhaps an hour,or more, randomly, I can't completely shutdown my PC.After clicking shutdown on start menu, my PC react normal.But, after a while, the PC (case and everything inside it) like in stall state.and the monitor goes blank (no signal from the PC). So I have to press power button for 4 seconds to completely shut it down.
I have four identical 1GB sticks of G.Skill PC2-8500 memory, and I cannot seem to get Windows 7 to boot with all of them installed. I am using a ASUS Rampage Formula board in which I have successfully used 4GB of PC2-6400 memory in the past. I've done a BIOS update to the latest version and still Windows will not boot. I know the RAM sticks are good and I can use any of them in a 2 to 3GB configuration, and load Windows fine, but once 4GB installed it will hang at the loading screen and throw a quick BSOD (much to quick to read any info); then just restart.This is a 64-bit OS so I have no idea why this isn't working, but it's obviously a Windows side issue. The hardware is good and no BIOS settings affect the hang or crash.
Safe Mode does not work with 4GB installed either and I cannot seem to set any maximum memory settings using MSCONFIG. Windows also states that only 2.00GB is usable which isn't right either... I installed the OS several months ago with only 2GB installed, but I figured adding another 2GB, using identical modules, would work just fine. At first the board didn't seem to like it but flashing BIOS seemed to help fix any instability.'ve never experienced this problem before...*EDIT*Blue Screen info is as follows:PFN_LIST_CORRUPTSTOP: 0x0000004E
I recently installed a Kinivo BTD-400 usb bluetooth adapter so I could transfer files from my Samsung Galaxy s2 I727 phone. I downloaded the current installation files from the Broadcom site. At the end of installation, a message box lists several items "ready to use" (AV source, headset, etc) but three items saying driver not installed.I have new entries in device managerBluetooth Radios - Broadcom USB device and Microsoft enumerator Network Adapters - BT device personal area network and RFCOMM protocol Other devices - Bluetooth Peripheral Device entries with exclamation marks. I added my phone shows to Bluetooth Devices but it appears with an exclamation mark. I right click, troubleshoot, apply fix. Driver for bluetooth peripheral not installed. Try again. Same result.When I select a picture and click "share via Bluetooth" I get a message "image not sent." So my phone and computer see each other,but I can't seem to send a picture.
Everytime i watch a video or movie on my laptop, it starts freezing and makes a screeching sound from speakers i updated the drivers, but nothing seems to be working, my husband says the motherboard is damaged and needs to be replaced, but it is going to cost me a fortune.
After installing Windows7 Ultimate x64 on a EEE PC Asus 1215B Seashell serie, the button which toggle wifi did not work anymore, like any other keyboard function keys (less importante now). When I log on I receive a message in a popup windows which says: You must install ATK0100 driver! I had installed the P4GX before noticed the problem. I've tried to install the driver downloaded from asus support site but I receive an error message in a pop-up windows, without any clue about what the problem is. Nothing is registered in Device manager, nothing is found in Registry, no file related to atk* in system32driverstorefilerepository. It's not possible remove nor reinstall, cause nothing bad remains after my failed installations. I've tried many times, with Troubleshoot Compatibility and Run as administrator (my regular user is also an admin). After executing the driver app, one command prompt appears showing the log of the installation process, and all of sudden disappear. No control about it. It's only possible to read the upper case word FAILURE before the window close. No log is found. It works when I restore the machine to Windows 7 Starter that comes from factory. I dont know how to get the drivers inside the hidden partition.
I'm trying to play World of Warcraft on an old laptop I have. I've been told to update my video drivers but I've been searching for some hours but can't find them anywhere.The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad T42 running Windows 7 32bit. If any more information is needed, please reply to the thread and I'll answer asap.
Recently my wife caught a virus on her computer (HP touchsmart windows 7 home premium). Your typical virus program that sends hundreds of pop up screens and says click this for full removal, blah blah blah. Anyways I used malwarebytes to see if the program could be removed, malwarebytes found 5 problems and I removed them. Afterward I noticed that there were no icons on the screen, I tried to bring up task manager and the computer rebooted. once the computer rebooted, there was a black screen with "no operating system found".
I tried the "repair your computer" option on the Windows 7 disk, but it was not able to repair the problem automatically, I also tried some manual command scan prompts that I found on the net. None of this has worked so far.
I figured that I would take the hdd out of her computer and dock it to another computer. The hard drive connected fine, but when I tried to open it there was nothing in there. I tried to make sure that all files were not hidden (they weren't). Funny thing is when I click on properties for the drive it shows that the drive is 2/3rds full but I can't see any files or information when I try to search the drive. I also just tried copying the hard drive to another harddrive and it was copying files but once I opened the new location, it was still empty (even thought the folder said in properties 84 gigs).
Is there something that I am missing, I would like to retrieve all of her documents, pictures etc. then I could reformat that drive and re-install windows if I can not get it to boot back up correctly.
I cannot find my device model number at all. It is a graphics chip and I have searched and searched but found nothing. It is an old Packard bell Imedia computer and cannot find the model number.

windows 7x64 doesnt support flash player to use run this download in a 32 bit browser, the solution says as adobe is working on a x64 update soon , anyone no the solution..
find a driver for my video controller? I've just upgraded to windows 7 from xp, and HP doesnt seem to make drivers for my old laptop anymore, though windows 7 is running pretty smoothly! I've been able to find all of the missing drivers, like the one for my soundcard, and install them either in vista or xp compatibility mode, but I can't seem to find this last one. I read in another thread that the hardware IDs might be helpful. Well, here are the hardware ids listed for my video controller (I'm still not even sure what the video controller does):
BSOD while I was watching a movie using windows media player and had a few Google Chrome tabs open. This has happened several times already with no apparent pattern. Built my system at the end of 2010, added the GPU 2 months ago. Has been happening before and after the addition.
I was updating video driver for radeon 4750 through Steam and all of sudden I got a bsod.. should've wrote it down but instead I just tried to restart. It freezes during windows logo screen and when I try to boot on safe mode it gets stuck loading atipcie.
Just installed windows 7 about a month or so ago, running great, only every now and then if my system is idle and I wiggle the mouse to make it come back on , it just reboots automatically[CODE]
