I just built my pc about a week ago and everything has been running fine until today. When I tried to login, windows just restarted. It kept doing this every time I tried to login. I can get to my desktop through safe mode. I just reinstalled windows and everything worked so I installed my graphics card driver. When that was done I had to reboot and I was right back to square one. Unfortunately I'm completely computer illiterate so please speak in terms I can understand.
All right so first I'll give some of the basic specs of my system. I have the following hardware:
Phenom II x4 955 CPU ASRock 870 Extreme 3 motherboard Corsair vengeance 8gb RAM An 850 OCZ PSU a HDRadeon 6870 GPU and a basic optical drive Also, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS
A while ago, my brother was playing some hardcore HoN on my computer. When the game ended, the screen turned black and i was forced to restart the entire thing. I get past the windows logo just fine and even hear the "welcome" sound as the OS starts up. Then, nothing. The screen just turns black with nothing but the cursor. I am able to move it around and everything but cannot do anything. Ctrl-alt-del doesnt work either.
So, i restarted again and this time went into safe mode and tried to check things out. I updated my graphics drivers (which were in no need of an update) and then restarted it again. Still nothing! I tried this multiple times, uninstalling, reinstalling, took a break. When I came back, I decided to boot from the disc and start afresh. I went through the process of setting up the OS and all the motherboard drivers (and the GPU drivers)...
I was able to login and download firefox and a couple of other security programs. I thought I had done enough and windows needed to be restarted to finish its update so I decided to restart again... The same black screen with the cursor! I have tried everything I know and I don't want to be stuck in safe mode forever!
I'm using Windows 7 Pro. I have remove the login pw in my user account now I do not need to do the login and able to use the computer right away. But I found I am using the computer as a user not administrator. How can I skip the login screen and go straight into desktop as administrator.
There's nothing wrong with my computer that I know of, just noticing these black flashes for some time now and thought I would finally seek information on why this could be happening. It happens everytime I turn on my computer, two black screen flashes at the login screen and another black flash in the main menu screen right after logging in.
p.s. 2x flash at the login screen 1x flash at main menu screen
I have an RDP Server on a windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and i would like to be able to use another system login screen to connect to this server. As in when i turn of display last local users, so that if i was to enter XXX into the username and XXX into the password and it will connect Although i wouldnt mind being able to set up roaming profiles between these systems either.
I have a Microsoft Intellipoint 2000 usb mouse that has been working flawlessly for about 8 months, and a windows 7 laptop 64 bit. Recently however, the mouse would work at the login screen, but after I would login, it would stop working. Its drivers are up-to-date. It seems as though something changed recently that disables it after login, and if I reconnect it I sometimes get Error Code 43, and it says it is not recognized, then again, sometimes it will work flawlessly, until i put my computer to sleep.
I watch videos from this site Poker Netcast | Live At The Bike | LABTTheir login is https.Ive been in IT for 15 years and even this has stumped me.When I go to login in IE9 starts looping from the login page to the https page and back to the original page and never ends. I load firefox, same issue. I load Crome, it worked for 1 day then same issue. It used to login in fine last week. It logs in fine on my 2 other PCs and my Kindlefire.I have checked for viruses with Avast and A-Malware Bytes in safe mode - nothing. These 2 pick up 98% of stuff. Personally I dont think its a virusn IE9 - Deleted browsing history, cookies, temp internet files, everything under the Geneeral/Browsing History section. Did a disk cleanup, put the site inthe trusted zone, turned off popup blocker just in case, Cleared SSL state, Reset IE9. Zippo
I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:
"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."
I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.
I do not want to do custom install (fresh install) on my computer.
I've been using my parents computer for the last few months and decided to make my own user/log-in the other day. After doing so, I cut/pasted my photos folder into my new user directory (or whatever, I'm not very techie..). I have thousands of photos, my BF is a photographer, and I can view most of them. However, in one particular folder 90% of them aren't viewable! Says I don't have permission... When I log back into parents windows, I can see the photos in my directory (as they are no longer located in theirs) but there are little gold padlocks on the ones I cannot see on my log-in. I've tried changing permissions, ownership, you name it.. I've looked for help on line and tried everything. The only thing that seems to work is if I right click on each individual photo and change things that way.
I have installed windows 7 on a very old HP compaq Evo and it works perfectly but only if I switch OFF and ON, if I have to restart it just don't switch back ON it gives me a black screen.
So I've been messing around with varrious drivers to try and get "RAGE" working and to make this tumultuous process more agravating I've somehow inadvertently uninstalled my USB drivers as well.This wouldn't be an issue, except that my computer has no PS2 ports.I used "GPU caps viewer" to check my driver version as I'd not noticed a change in my gaming performance and I was unsure if the 11.10 preview 2 drivers had been installed. "GPU caps viewer" said i was still running 11.8 which is what I had before I tried changing drivers last time. So I guessed that my drivers had not changed dispite the fact i uninstalled/reinstalled using the guide on the AMD /ATI site.So on a bunch of sites I saw people were using "Driver Sweeper" to get rid of the registry files and hidden bits of the ATI/AMD drivers. I used this application, it found; stuff removed it and then asked if i wanted to reboot. Which I figured after Uninstalling the Drivers and this program tooling around it was probably required sooner than later to finish the uninstall.At this point the drivers are "uninstalled" and the generic windows driver is working because my resolution/aspect ratio is stuck at 4:3 and wont go 16:10/16:9.AND more importantly my USB devices were all still working.I restart the computer and It loads windows and I try to type my password and nothing happens, The mouse cursor is in the middle of the screen and I can not move it, and there are no lights on my keyboard. The optical sensor in the bottom of my mouse Also does not light up.I restart again, and check the BIOS, all USB ports are enabled, so I try booting in to safe mode. I can use my keyboard to work in the BIOS, and to select "Safe mode with networking" (vs safe mode with out)When safe mode loads, same issue. No power to USB devices.I tested a bunch of devices; xbox controler; USB memory stick, external HDD etc. and none work.I don't know what to do; the mouse and keyboard work in the recovery partition installed on my HDD, but I really don't want to lose all that data. Ill probably end up using a live CD of linux to get my files and then format the PC if I can't figure out how to fix this.
I cannot restart my computer. I go to Start > Restart, it shuts down but it doesnt do anything else, i just get a black screen (as if it is suspended). So I have to press the button to shut it down and then press it again to turn it on.
I haven't used this computer in about a month, but it doesn't shut off/restart when I start windows 7. It just says "computer is shutting down" and stays that way. A few things:
- I put my flashdrive in the usb and left it in today, but had the same problem without the flashdrive
- It will shut off at the log in screen, but that is it.
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) on my workstation, previously running Windows XP professional. My problem is that it is extremely unstable; It randomly restarts - my screen goes black and then it restarts. I have installed Windows 7 twice - on the first install. I had gotten everything set up, all my programs (primarily video editing in nature- Adobe Master Collection CS3, Sorenson Squeeze and such) and my computer restarted. It froze and for a half second a scrambled screen appeared then it restarted. On restart it first said that it needed a bootable device cause it couldn't find one. On the second attempt at restart it would not allow me to load into windows it just came to the screen "starting windows" and remained there. On restart it gave me no option for start normal - just the option to repair system startup - or continue if it was just a power failure. The continue did not work. So I tried to repair startup - this would not work either - it said that windows could not repair itself. So I was forced to format my drive and reinstall.
On second installation - I thought I was safe. Then I had the same random restart. This time however, I repaired restart. It said that it was repairing my registry. But it must have monkeyed with it because it corrupted some of my programs. Then I continued to have the same freeze, scramble, reboot - only on the next several occasions it gave me a bluescreen. I tried after looking at forums to up the voltage of my ECC Ram (4gb - 2slots) from 1.8v to 1.83v (manufacture says they should run at 1.8v). This did not seem to help. I also tried running it with only one stick of Ram - worked for awhile over night, but then failed again the next day. I don't know if there is any relation - two failures were during system backup (from backup/restore center) and twice it failed when I was deleting from the trash. But then it failed at other random times as well. - However, It will work for extended periods of time - but then randomly quits.
I am trying to find the problem - but do not know where else to look. It appears to be hardware, but then I am not sure if it could be software related. I MUST get this machine up and running - Primary work machine.
Here are my Hardware specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600 System Type x64-based PC)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit When I try to perform a restart, the computer goes into oblivion. Drive light flickers a bit but I've let it rest over an hour and it didn't restart. Have to press the reset button. Otherwise everything seems OK. I've run deep scans with Malwarebytes and Kaspersky and no warnings?
When you turn it on it gets to Windows logo animation and at the beginning of the animation it just restarts.I loaded a Windows 7 image and tried the start-up repair but that gave no results so I thought I'll heck out the bootcat.cache file.
My computer had a memory stick problem about two weeks ago, after I removed the one with problem and reinstalled Windows 7, everything worked fine. This monday, I installed Adobe pdf reader from their website and used the machine for the rest of the day with no issue. Then on tuesday morning when started my computer, I got this "Volume Manager Installed, need to reboot" thing. If I reboot now, same message pops up after reboot. Tried many times until I gave up and selected reboot later. Then the machine worked fine for the rest of the day.However, today when I start my computer, as soon as I got into windows, after my google talk loaded, I got "there is a problem in windows explorer" thing, and I can either choose to "find solution online" or "close". If I select first, system will reboot and same thing happen every time. If I close, I got a blue screen, then automatic reboot also brings me back to the same thing. I tried boot under safe mode, no luck.I'm not sure if the three incidiences (installing adobe, volume manager problem, and blue screen problem) are related, and I wonder if reinstalling windows will solve the problem?I have Windows 7 64bit, cpu i5, 2G mem (use to be 4G but removed 2G). It's not a brand computer and I cannot remember the rest of the spec.
After downloading WIPZIP UTILITIES SUITE my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) will not boot up again after I click on the "restart" icon. The computer remains turned on but there is no activity from the hard drive and the monitor shows "no signal". I have to manually shut down the computer and then start it in the normal way before it boots up again.
I have windows 7 PRO 64 bit. Upon trying to restart my computer (such as after installing software) my computer freezes. My motherboard stays on and lit while my keyboard and mouse stop working. I also use the free anti virus avira.
when i press the restart button its always stuck or never boot itself after the shut down screen. another thing is i want to speed up my booting time when its starting windows 7.how would i fix and do these things?
I'm using win7 ultimate & win xp sp2 pro in the same pc. When working few hours continuously win7 restarts instantly without showing any error. Sometimes after rebooting BSOD is appeared. Bu XP doesn't give a that kind of error.
I have had a series of problems to my desktop in the last six months and the latest one is worrying me like hell.System specs :cpu : intel core 2 quad 2.83ghzobo : asus p5q pro ram : 2 * 2 gb zionpsu : 600 watt cooler master hdd : 1tb seagate gpu : zotac gts 250 eco 1 gbNow the problem :Suddenly , my computer started to have random reboots.

Safe mode works sometimes , but not at other times.I was frustated , so i went for a fresh installation . There were restarts during "completing installation " also ... But somehow i got through it after 3 4 try.After installation , the desktop gets loaded and after 5 sec , again restart.And then back to old ways , restart after the windows logo
I absolutely love command prompt. If possible, i would run everything from there. I like it more than the gui's, makes me feel clever or something.How do I restart windows in safe mode using cmd? And thus eliminating the annoying f8 f8 f8 f8.How do I start msconfig and computer management from cmd?
I spilled cereal on my laptop and half the keys stopped working. Obviously, I need to get the keyboard replaced, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to restart the computer without using the keyboard? I am currently stuck on the Windows Error Recovery screen and since the enter key doesn't work, I can't get it to start normally, in safe mode, etc.Computer is a Toshiba Satellite L755 running Windows 7.
When i shut down my pc,it shuts down with no problem,but when i restart it,windows begins to load it and suddenly it stops.I need to turn off my pc for 5 mins,then it loads windows correctly.I can never restart my pc.The problem is not about windows 7,i had just change from xp.I was having the same problem with windows xp.Everything else is good in my pc,just i'm having this problem.
I have had Windows 7 64bit Pro on my computer for around 10 months. I use an Upgrade version through my University that works exactly like a normal copy of Windows 7. I have had no problems with it until now. When I start it up normally and choose Windows 7 (I also have Windows XP pro on my computer) and after about 10 seconds my computer automatically restarts. I tried the Repair My Computer option 3 times and the Last Known Good Configuration twice with no success. When I start it up in Safe Mode, 7 works for about three seconds and then goes to a Blue Screen before restarting.I honestly do not know what is wrong with my computer. I have checked all of the internal connections and there doesn't appear to be anything unplugged or messed up with them in general.
