Windows 7 boots to a black screen. Running on a dell e520, I've used the dell diagnostics to scan all the hardware, no issues were found. Computer works more then fine when windows boots. boots into safe mode, and runs when i select the debug option from the safe mode boot menu. also booted once or twice without keyboard connected.
Whats inside the computer besides the processor and a hard drive? zotac 9800 gt : OC to 630mz with rivatuner (stable, machine doesn't boot with OC disabled) crappy sound blaster audigy.
The problem is recent, no hardware changes where made in the last 6 months. (problem never happened in xp)
I will start off by stating my relevant PC Specs for this thread:-
Asus P5B Deluxe MoBo Intel Dual Core E6600 @ 2.40GHz GeForce 7900 GS 512Mb 2 x 1GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair Value RAM (original) in Yellow Slots A1 & B1 2 x 1GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair Gaming RAM (NEW) in Black Slots A2 & B2
So I have just installed 2 extra GBs of RAM to bring my total to 4GB. After a successful boot and then checking my 'System' info Windows states 4.00GB of memory is installed but only 2.94GB is usable.Therefore I went ahead into my BIOS to enable the 'Memory Remap Feature'.However on reboot the PC gets to the 'Starting Windows' screen and doesn't get any further. The Windows logo doesn't start to appear. It just restarts going through all the usual screens again, eventually giving two options of:-
Launch Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally. The repair never works and Windows will never start normally again until I return to the BIOS to disable the mem remap.I reset the CMOS to Factory Default settings and tried again but did nothing. Also I have never updated the BIOS from the original version as I'm a bit scared to do so.I have looked hear for info on voltages and clocking but didn't get anywhere. Well got an overclock at 3.60Hz but only ran in Safe Mode. Obviously this is slightly irrelevant the above but was just trying stuff out and trying to learn more.
If I disable Network Boot in my BIOS I get Boot Failure when I try to boot. My Boot Options are CD/DVD/Hard Disk/Removable Drive. Do I have a problem? or should Network Boot always be enabled?
I'm trying to dual boot windows 7 and snow leopard. The problem that I am getting is, that when I try to boot into Mac it says kernel panic or something like that and tells me I need to restart my computer. I keep restarting it and keep on getting the same thing. I'll start from the beginning on how I started off. First I put in snow leopard cd then when the installer loaded i went into utilities, then disk utilities. I then split my hard drive into two partitions. First one I named Snow Leopard the second windows 7. Then after it erased everything and partitioned I installed snow leapord on partition 1 then windows 7 on partition 2. When I put in the Iboot CD and chose Mac it gave me the problem that I mentioned above. So right now I'm on the second partition the one named Windows 7.

The repair never works and Windows will never start normally again until I return to the BIOS to disable the mem remap.Sometimes I have had a Blue Screen displaying the same errors as this thread:-Windows 7 64Bit BSOD's (IRQ_NOT_LESS and BAD_POOL_HEADER)I reset the CMOS to Factory Default settings and tried again but did nothing. Also I have never updated the BIOS from the original version as I'm a bit scared to do so.Have read about graphics card using part of the mem (which doesn't seem right with the 7900 GS as has it's own onboard mem) and also that voltages to the RAM should be increased.
MCH Voltages Windows 7 :: Win 7 Wont Boot With 4GB RAM Windows 7 RC won't boot with 4gb

My Skype stopped responding to user actions - it launches but Skype menu items are not reacting to mouse clicks etc, and also Skype menu at the bottom of the window during conversation, when you can click to hung up the call (red button) or call a contact (green button), disappeared, so I am unable to hung up. It gives me Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger Error - JIT debug runtime error.
I recently went to update my mobile video card drivers on my ASUS G73JH laptop and after doing so, on boot up I would see this error message after saying my CCC.exe has crashed...I also couldn't access any programs that make use of the video card, every time I would open one, it would crash before opening.So I rolled back my drivers and everything is fine, but obviously, I would like to update my drivers for my video card, but not really sure what to try.
I don't have an answer but I do have a similiar problem. I upgraded from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on my netbook. I created a bootable USB, copied the windows 7 files onto it and everything worked OK. However, when I bootup I also get the Boot Manager screen offering me 2 options:
Windows 7 Windows setup (EMS enabled)
which goes ahead and boot into Windows 7 after a countdown. Why would I ever want to boot into Winsdows setup? I would like to know if there is a proper way to bypass this boot manager screen. When I was installing the upgrade, I did see a small 40mb partition which was "reserved by the OEM" which I could not use, is that anything to do with it?
I don't have any system audio at all on Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. The Troubleshooter has not provided any answers, except for a reference to a generic sounding Intel high definition audio driver. I have not been able to locate this driver on the Intel web page or elsewhere online. How to enable audio on my edition of Windows 7.
I'm running MS Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell laptop. Normally, the screen saver works as expected. About half the time, after I log off and shut down, the screen saver is not enabled when I restart.
I've got one laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (Somy Vaio PCG 71911m) which always boots with num lock enabled.Since I often use different keyboards is there any way to disable this on boot or turn it off automatically.The BIOS surprisingly doesn't seem to have an option for this --most laptops I've used in the pass had a setting in the Bios to turn this off at boot.
I have windows search disabled, but do find myself occasionally searching through emails, is it enough to just enable indexing in outlook or does it require the OS indexing also enabled.
I just built a new computer about 2 weeks ago, and everything seemed fine until recently. I started getting "Kernel-Power" errors, usually when I play Star Wars, the old republic, there is no BSoD instead what happens is that I am doing everything normally, and suddenly i get this streak of multicolored pixels across a black screen and the pc restarts.
My Computer specs are: 500w Corsair PSU. Sapphire Radeon 6850 i5-2500k OCZ 60gb SSD 16gb ripjaws DDR3 Asus P8Z68-V LE mobo.
I have the latest bios on my motherboard, Microsoft Security essentials returns clean, no minidump is created even though I have it on.
Also I'm running Prime95 on my pc right now and have been for the past hour, but I can't recreate the error that way.
I have discovered that FTP does not work with 802.11n enabled on my ASUS K53E with Intel Centrino Wireless N-100. I have changed channels, configured mixed mode (2.4 - 5.0 etc) change frequency from 20Mhz to auto and everything else to (all one at a time). With N enabled my laptop connects to the internet at 150Mbps and downloads and browses perfectly. When I open Smart FTP, WS-FTP or core FTP the handshake and folder population takes forever if it does it at all however if I disable N and operate on g alone (connected at 54Mbps) FTP works no problem. My router is a Netgear DGN 1000 and has the latest firmware.
I have recently setup a raid 0+1 array on a computer with 4 identical hard drives. I installed windows 7 and the installation without a hitch. However on the reboot a windows error message appears and says the following:
File: \Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Status: 0xc0000221 Info: Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing, or corrupt.
I have tried many things in an attempt to resolve this issue. I have tried reinstalling, using a different DVD drive and removing the RAID array to no avail. I have also disconnected the hard drive which is not associated with the RAID array also to no avail.
I am running a 3 year old Sony Vaio, Win7 Sp1, home edition and recently it has been shutting down randomly (not restarting) when I am running games (99% of the time I am on the laptop is when I am running games So I cannot say if this shut-down issue will or will not occur if I just kept the system idle). I have never had this problem until a few days ago when I experienced a BSOD (which happened to me before so I thought it was no big deal), and from that point my laptop began to shut down randomly (just crashes, no BSOD), sometimes within a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours of use.
"WhoCrashed" failed to generate any reports (I ran the crash test, it works fine) and after checking my computers event viewer, there was multiple occurrences of the "event 41 Kernel, Windows was rebooted after an unexpected shutdown" critical error. I browsed the internet looking for possible causes of this, and have taken the following actions:
1. Sending in my laptop for repairs (new thermal paste and heatsink cleaning), the core temp when running games tops out around 60-65C which is nowhere near the level needed for a overheat shutdown 2. Testing my GPU temp, (around 50-60C) once again no where near the level needed for overheat (I am running a Nvidia Geforce GT 330M with updated drivers) 3. Multiple Chkdsks 4. Checked system, power, performance, battery etc with Vaio Care 5. Tested it unplugged and plugged on battery 6. Toning down my power plan's maximum processor usage, changing system cooling policy 7. Reinstalling service pack 8. Cleaning out registry with CCleaner 9. Planning on doing a memory test
After all this, the problem still occurs. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or something else I am probably going to do a repair install on WIN7 to see if that will fix anything.
I had a question concerning the remote desktop assistance on windows 7. I noticed that it was enabled today and I was wondering if windows 7 enables it by default or if someone had to enable it. My friend told me that hackers can get on to your computer through this so I was concerned but wouldn't I have to allow them access to my computer? I was wondering also if downloading things off the internet could have enabled it?
I'm trying to gain complete network access between a Windows 7 desktop (Win7 Home Premium SP 1) and a laptop (Win7 Ultimate). I remember back in the old days of XP, all you had to do is enable file sharing, right click on the hard drive or folder you'd like to share, name it, share it and press "okay." The files I'd like to share are on the Desktop computer. When I go to HomeGroup/Advanced Sharing Settings, and make changes, press save, none of the settings actually save. I'm trying to turn on "Network Discovery" and "File and print sharing."Is HomeGroup the only way to share files over a network?
Just installed windows 7 on my Acer Aspire before I left home However I dont believe I ever enabled the password protection on it as the HD is Empty and I have as yet to put any info on it. Last Night I was on all night this morning I cannot login because the password is enabled how do I boot either in safe or bypassing and is this a problem I have to look forward to?
Can we boot from a pendrive even after a bios password is enabled and by pressing F9 key or any other that can let us selct the boot device and even Bios password is enabled.
So I installed win 7 on a new WD 2TB Sata3 drive, I enabled AHCI before installing. I have two hdd which I use as storage, but after the reinstall only one of them show's up in my computer. I can see the other one on device manager. Does this have something to do with the AHCI? Never enabled it before now.

I Have a game to play online which I run using a script (*.bat).sometimes I host a game and sometimes I don't...(by the way, I hope this isn't illegal wright? )now I've been setting up everything in windows firewall, inbount and outbound rules for that program and all that security stuff.now here are two scenarios where, one works and another unfotunately does not:
-I log in as admin into windows -windows has UAC disabled -I run a script -I play the game online Second scenario : -I log in as admin into windows -windows has UAC enabled -I run a script as Administrator -I can't play a game online cos it can't find any server
as you see in these two scenario only UAC on/off is difference.How do I fix that issuse by keeping UAC enabled?
