Computer Fails So Start-up Sometimes?
Jan 3, 2012
Basically, my computer fails so start-up sometimes (My motherboard produces a long beeep sound. GPU not running at all, but the rest of the components seems to be running - eg. USB, Ethernet etc).Also, it will sometimes freeze while running some basic programs which are not really RAM or GPU demanding such as web browsers.Finally, BSOD whenever I'm running some graphically intensive games (which theoretically, my computer should be able to handle.I've ran memtest86 for each of my ram and there were no signs of any ram defunct. Therefore, I'm speculating that the problem is either the GPU, CPU or the Motherboard itself. However, I'm not sure which one should I change. I've attached my 3 dump files, all of which seems to point to different sources of error.[CODE]

Computer crashes for no reason then fails to start. I get half of the post screen which says 1 Keyboard 2 Mice 1Hub then nothing? It should show all the HDD installed next but nothing shows. The only way of getting the computer to boot after this is to disconnect SSD from the motherboard? Any Ideas guys and gals...

I was attemping to restore my computer back to previous days and as it was retrieving the data and processing, I got anxious and turned it off during the restoring before it finished and when I attemped to turn the power back on, only the "starting windows" and "gateway" logos flash on and off but no start up process. Please help, I know I screwed up, but I've already tried the SAFE MODE, SAFE MODE in networking, and the "last configuration" attemps and none of them rectify the problem.

I recently built a new computer and on occasion when I turn the computer on, I'll get a blue screen saying windows failed to load type thing, and then it restarts and i have to recover. Now the weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time It more often than not doesn't work, but still there will be times where it works all day. I can't figure out why it works sometimes and not others. I don't do anything different, just facebook and Star Wars the Old Republic, so I don't think its a program which is causing the issue. Anyway here are my comp specs and the problem details:
Intel i5 2500 3.30GHz
Gigabyte GTX560OC
C/Master Extreme 700W
WD 1TB Black
Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3
LG DWDRW
8GB of RAM
Now the problem
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3

My Dell Studio 17 shut down yesterday after sitting idle. Now i cannot boot windows. I get this endless loop that ultimately leads me to startup repair which either hangs or errors out. Attempting to start in safe mode takes me to same place.I know the root of the problem is bsod as I see it flash when attempting to load windows.I was able to launch system restore tool from advanced options (f8) but after selecting restore point the cpu seems to hang after over an hour of Initalizing.I can bring up command prompt by the way.

I downloaded the demo of Race Driver - Grid from the Codemaster's web-site. While it installed and lets me create a profile, to start the game it states "Loading", with no hard-disk activity and just stops at that point. Leaving it for 10 minutes results in nothing happening. Anyone else experience this?

This happened to me a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to resolve it since, so I'm turning here for assistance. One fine evening, I come home and notice that my computer is giving me an error message:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the problem.
I am then told to insert my installation CD, reboot, and follow some steps. There is one problem: I do not have an installation CD. I upgraded my erratic copy of Windows Vista to 7 (Premium 32bit I believe) last year as part of the $30 upgrade for students program, and did so online. I tried using friends' installation disks of various editions to no avail, and when I boot directly from the disks it either gives me the option to reinstall or gives me the same error message (0xc0000001, BootBCD). I tried to track down my purchase information, but the email address I used to make the purchase no longer exists and my online banking service doesn't keep records past 6 months (I made the upgrade roughly a year ago). My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I have to reinstall and lose all my data, is there a problem with the computer itself (this is not the first OS to be bucked off, it rejected Vista last May), or can I get what I need to run a system repair somehow?
Edit: Forgot to mention, the only software change I have made in the last few weeks is uninstalling Firefox and installing Chrome, and I don't think that would be the issue.

Lately my welcome screen became very slow, it takes 3-4 minutes to load and then a black screen with a mouse cursor comes up for 30 seconds then the actual windows come, when windows start the network icon has a red cross on it and says not connected - no connections available but the internet is just fine, and it says failed to load windows service. Is that a virus? i scanned with AVG 2012 and Malware bytes and problem is still there .

I have a program running that automatically syncs some of my data online. It is running on a computer with Windows 7 Pro as well as a Windows Server 2003 that I use as for file storage. Unfortunately it does not startup until I log into a profile, but since I don't really use these computers, sometimes this doesn't happen for days on end. I decided to create it as a service (used the sc.exe utility - sc create DataBackup binPath= "C:Program FilesData Deposit Boxackup.exe" DisplayName= "Kineticd Backup" start=auto). The service was created successfully, but when I try to start the service, I get the following error.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

1 have 2 scheduled tasks on my WES7 Thin Clients:
1) On Lock: Execute the following batch: Code: TASKKILL /F /IM "pnamain.exe"
TASKKILL /F /IM "Receiver.exe
TASKKILL /F /IM "WFICA32.EXE" This kills the open Citrix session and shuts down all citrix programs.
2) On Unlock: Reconnect the Citrix Session and open all programs via this batch: Code: start "" "C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnamain.exe" /connect start "" "C:Program FilesCitrixICA ClientReceiverReceiver.exe" If i execute the 2 batch-files manually, everything works perfect. If they are run via the scheduled tasks, the locking works perfectly, but the unlocking behaves as following: pnamain.exe is started Receiver.exe is NOT started EDIT: The task is marked as 'finished without problems' I tried to execute this task with different settings... same problem all the time The Task is executed with the Admin-Account, so this should not be the problem.

On July 12th 2012, my computer installed updates. After rebooting and waiting for me on the login screen, I gave it a hard shutdown to check on the BIOS settings (for a little side project, in the end I did not save any changes). After booting and logging in again, I find that many services are not running. I ran a very thorough check for malware and viruses (took over 24 hours to complete), and still no solutions. I have uninstalled/reinstalled my Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Driver several times.
I now look in the Event Viewer and find that the DHCP Client service is not running! It is set to automatic start in Services.msc, but when I try to manually start it, it gives me error 1075 (some dependencies do not exist or are marked for deletion). Running ipconfig, I notice that my system is using an APIPA-formatted address (169.254.x.x), indicating that the computer couldn't find a DHCP server.
My Event Viewer is peppered with:
Event 7003, Service Control Manager
The DHCP Client service depends the following service: Afd. This service might not be installed.
Event 7001, Service Control Manager
The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service depends on the DHCP CLient service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependcy service does not exist or has been marekd for deletion.
And that keeps repeating many times in a minute (about 30-40 cycles of it).

After rebooting my system, it recommended that i do a start up repair. After the repair completed i recieved the black screen right before choosing USER , so i tried 3x more to repair which each completed but same outcome till the point it just says cant repair automatically . Then i tried to system restore which failed also , but the catch is my system boots fine from Safe Mode.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a gigabyte ga-x58a-ud3r
A few weeks ago, I shut down my PC completely for a regular cleaning. I do a regular cleaning once a month, this was the first time I had an issue.
After I finished, I powered up the machine, and Windows would continually fail to start - rebooting at some point while the Logo load screen was up.
After several Google searches, I tried pretty much everything I could think of or advice i came across - Nothing worked. I could not boot from the Win7 Disk, System Repair did not work, advanced boot options did not work, etc. At this point I thought the HDD might be bad (WD Caviar Black 1 TB).
So I went and purchased a new HDD, the same model actually as it was on sale. Windows installed fine, everything got up and running with no issue.
I then took my HDD which I had believed had failed and plugged it into a Thermaltake BlacX Docking station and I was able to locate the drive in the device manager after scanning for new hardware.
I actually was able to go into the hard drive and recover the few bits of data I hadn't backed up (mostly gaming files). The HDD was completely fine. Fast forward a few weeks, and feel free to laugh at me here - I'm in the exact same situation with the new HDD once again after cleaning my PC case.
So, I'm not sure what is happening. I've rebooted the PC many times without issue but today was the first time that I fully powered down the PC to do a cleaning.
I suspect something is causing Windows to fail to recognize the HDD itself, but honestly this is way beyond my knowledge how to fix. I took a risk and I removed the sata cable from the "GSata" slot on the motherboard and put it into one of the standard ICHR10 - to no effect.
I've once again exhausted every option I actually know how to safely do, advanced boot options, repair attempt from Win7 Disk, etc. Nothing is working. I'm debating running out yet again and grabbing a cheap HDD just to get myself up and running again, but I thought I'd turn to Tom's Hardware first for some ideas - and because I don't want to be going through this issue everytime I want to give the PC case a good cleaning.

i've had some issues installing sp1 (7 ultimate, latest windows updates) via windows update when the installation fails on a few different error codes, but i have gotten it to install a few times. each time the installation finishes, i restart the computer when prompted and it goes through the update process when shutting down, then after the windows 7 splash screen ("starting windows") passes, the screen goes blank (black screen, no video- monitor displays "going to sleep" message) and the HDD light on the computer is lit solid. i've left the computer sitting for hours with no change- i eventually get Windows to boot again by using the install disc to do a Windows restore, but i haven't been able to get past this yet.

I have five Sata drives. Of these five, Windows 7 Pro 64 "Computer management" reports that two of them still are 100% free despite both having significant usage as reported in "Computer" and "Explorer"
F: Simple, Basic, NTFS, Healthy, Primary partition,
"Computer management" Capacity 92.21GB Free 92.21GB
"Computer" Capacity 92.2 GB Free 16.8GB
L: Simple, Basic, NTFS, Healthy, Primary partition,
"Computer management" Capacity 389.59GB Free 389.59GB
"Computer" Capacity 389GB Free 379GB
The L: drive is newly installed and only ebook files are on it. What might have caused this and can it be corrected?

I have observed a significant change in my Windows 7 computer. This is not a hardware issue. I have not downloaded any files or programs lately which could have caused this difficulty. I have run NIS program, anti-spyware. and malware-bytes, to no avail. I cannot seem to run backup using Ease Us Todo Backup; program fails to function. It worked before. Windows Backup fails to give any indication that it is actually working.
It takes longer to start up. I have run "Start Up Repair" to no avail. It also takes longer to shut down (no updates are in progress). Certain programs such as the one to enable process of my digital camera photos, fail to work. There was no such problem in the past. When I attempt to use this program, a screen from uTorrent appears, even after I have removed uTorrent, and re-downloaded the camera software. I have tried "System Restore" to no avail.
Contrary to the instructions, I cannot choose my own 'restore point', but only from a list created by Windows. The standard Windows 7 repair programs have failed me. I have nowhere else to turn. I have considered a registry cleaner, but the advice on this program is mixed; half of the people say it worked for them, the other half say never screw with my registry. If I cannot even backup my files, I am screwed.

Ok so after years of running XP, I finally got an external HDD to back all my crap on and Windows 7 Ultimate. I backed up all my stuff, ran the win7 DVD through start up, reformated my hard drive, installed windows 7.
It installed fine, rebooted a couple of times through the install, finishes, and logs me to the desktop. Its all working fine, I can use the net etc. I shut it down to restart it, and it doesn't start back up. It gets to the bios window where it decides to start off the dvd or hdd, just prior to where it should normally change to the 'windows is loading' screen, and just sits there, blinking and doing nothing.
I've done three installs, I took out the hard drive, reformated it with another computer, made sure it had a ntfs file system, everything, it's working fine. But every single time I install windows 7, It logs me into the desktop for the first time, I can do everything fine, but then if I Shutdown or restart, it hangs on the screen prior to windows loading. I can't even choose a boot option.
I've seen some ideas on other forums, pulling the power out, resetting the bios/cmos, changing boot sequence, unplugging all non-essential hardware.. nothing. It's like as soon as I install windows 7 my hard drive isn't there anymore.
Specs:
Abit AX78 - Latest BIOS version
AMD 9950 quad core 2.6
4GB DDR2-800
ATi HD 5870
Western Digital 500GB

When i got home today didn't my computer work, my girlfriend has been the last one using it. So don't know how things were just before the shutdown or anything.when i turn on the computer i get to the screen where "touch bios" is and where i can see the options like Bios settings, boot menu, xpress recovery.but i cant press anything, and after about two seconds on that screen the PC shuts down again.The keyword lights up so there is a responds on it, but just doesn't work to press anything before it shuts down.I've got BSOD upto several times a day for a few months time.believe that my computer is affected by some virus or something is delaying my computer. might be an combination of several things.I got no external things hugged up to the stationeer computer right now.it is a windows 7 x64 machine.
usually when i get issues i can access advanced boot up or bios, but can neither in this case..I wonder if it might be a hardware issue.

Clean installing Windows 7 x86 is no problem. But
1) upgrading Vista x86 to Windows 7 x86 fails and automatically rolls back to Vista, and
2) attempt to clean install Windows 7 x64 results in BSOD when rebooting to finalize the process.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Sometimes when I click start and sleep on my computer (windows 7) the monitor will go to sleep but the computer is still running. I cannot wake my monitor up so there is nothing I can do to wake it up besides manually turning it off using the button on the computer case.

I'm having some trouble starting my computer (posting from somewhere else). When I try to start it, it takes a long time then goes to a screen asking me to start the startup repair. When I do, it just seems to be frozen on some of the screens for a very long time and has never moved past it.

i hope i'm placing this in the right section, if not, then could someone tell me where to put it and i'll post it again.i've got a samsung rv510 laptop with windows 7 hp 64 bit.about 2 weeks ago, i was watching a Internet video, had spotify and facebook open too, and my computer suddenly went all bsod on me.i turned it off and on again. it came up with a message like 'a problem has occurred whilst loading up your computer, what would you like to do?' i chose 'launch startup repair', which takes a couple seconds, then i choose the other option of 'start windows normally'. i could get onto safe mode. sometimes it would say 'operating system not found.'the computer will then load normally and i can be on it fine.however, i then started to get norton confidential and shockwave flash crashes in google chrome. i disabled norton confidential and thus didn't get that error anymore. shockwave flash however did still occur as disabling it means i can't watch Internet videos and do some other stuff. sometimes my screen would go blank, and it looks like chrome refreshed itself due to some problem.i then used norton power eraser (i have norton internet security 2011 otherwise, and i did many live updates and scans to see if there was anything there, but nothing) to see if there were any problems. it came up with one file that was a possible threat which was msvcrt.dll so i did as it recommended and deleted it. i restarted the computer and now i can't it won't go past the windows logo without freezing.i had some start-up error in the past (a few months ago) and i was sent two cds to correct the problem and they worked. one cd was labelled 'windows 7 hp 64bit' and the other was 'samsung rv510 driver disc'. i got this laptop, via the disability students allowance, from a company. i haven't contacted the company yet about this problem, but i will be doing so very shortly, because if all else fails, i'm just going to try and get this laptop replaced as i'm not 100% happy with it.i have put in both cds in, the driver one doesn't do anything, but the windows 7 hp 64bit one does. it asks me if i want to continue with the thingy, so i press a button to continue. it tries to fix the start-up, but fails. it says that 'a recent hardware or software change might be the cause'. then tells me to insert the installation disc and do some other things, but i don't have that disc. the company could give that to me.

So last night I came back from going out. My computer was making an annoying noise, really hard to explain almost like a sound when your hard drive is overworking or really old.... My computer isn't even a half year old. I was to tired to try anything so i just hit the turn off buttonI had to go to work early this morning so I just got home. I tried turnning it on this afternoon, it didn't normally. Gave me an option to start normally or safe mode. I tried to start normally. Windows started and then just froze. Keep in mind the Hard drive or w/e is making this noise still while trying to start windows. So since that didn't work I tried to start in safe mode. This didnt' work either and gave me the message about my SATAo drive or something not working properly
