I just recently noticed that my screen will black out for a few seconds and come back, and when it does it changes my monitor set up so that 2 is main monitor and 1 is the off monitor, I tried changing it so it only showed monitor 1 but it still seems to be blinking.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen one of my Exec's laptops boots to Windows 7, he presses CTRL ALT DEL and the screen does not return the login box until 15-20 seconds later. Then he can login fine.He is part of a special OU so he does not get the Windows Updates that the rest of our users receive.I took an image of his machine and dumped it to his idenitcal backup machine and the same behavior occurs. If you boot to safe mode w/networking, it DOES NOT behave that way and brings the logon box immediately.He uses the machine on our domain and when he takes it home on his personal network.He also has 1 mapped drive which resides on his home network, but I'm not sure if he experiences the same thing when he's docked @ home.If I login and then log out, the behavior doesn't happen. It only happens when I restart or boot from shutdown. This behavior also happens whether or not he's wired into the network or not.
I was going to try System Restore but since there are no restore points since this was a cloned image. I guess the restore points are on the small partition on his system?Troubleshooting So far.. * I have run C Cleaner and rebooted, no change* Disabled all startup items (msconfig), no change.* ipconfig /flushdns, reboot, no change* updated Intel network drivers, reboot, no change* tried the Windows 7 repair, but it failed* changing the desktop background from the picture to a solid color and back, no change.* checked gpedit.msc setting "Always wait for network at computer startup and logon� and it's not enabled.* changed MTU size of network* reinstalled NIC and WLAN cardDell Latitude 6320 4G RAMSamsung SSD 250GB Win 7 Enterprise
My screen blacks out every 60 seconds or so if I am watching either a CD or the market via on-line broker. So, I have to jiggle my mouse so that I may view again. Under "Power Options' (dell computer) "Turn of Display" = Never, same with "Sleep".

When the monitor is connect and the computer starts up, after I log in, both displays work fine for about 4 seconds then both go black and only the laptop display returns. The same behavior happens when I unlock my computer: both work for about 4 seconds, both go black, and only the laptop display returns (the Acer remains black). To fix this I have to do one of two things: 1 unplug and replug the vga cable from the back of the comp, or 2: reset my display settings to extend the display to the second monitor.

My laptop also occasionally freezes on the windows screen or when I finally log into my account.

Some more information: I run AVG bought and paid for as my Anti Virus system and have preformed numerous full scans with no problems at all. I also have AVG PC Tune up which i check often and scan for to optimize my Laptops performance once again besides the usual defrag nothing serious has ever been captured. I Have the free version of Malware Bytes, didn't start the trial so its always on my computer. Again Scans come up impeccably clean. I downloaded and used Memtest86+ ran 10 passes completely clean nothing was reported in need of fixing.
Sfc /scannow came back as no integrity errors. An Extended Version of Windows Memory Diagnostics with 5 passes came back clean also. There is no overheating of any sort. I do However use an external Hard drive to Store most of my video games in (WoW, LoL, SWtoR, Diablo 3, Warcraft 3). And after multiple crashes the Software needed to access my Hard Drive "Stops Working" and ill need to uninstall and re install it. Its a WD Smartware product. I feel like I'm flipping a coin when I turn on my laptop because it will crash numerous times and then finally that one time my laptop runs smooth w/o a problem.
windows 7 x64 on my laptop (intel core i5 @ 2.50ghz, 4 gb ram) has recently started freezing for a few seconds every few seconds, when i'm doing just about anything: browsing the web, copying files, using text redactor, etc. only the mouse cursor responds, control is back after a couple of seconds.
* the behaviour remains the same when booting in the safe mode
* there are no cpu or memory usage peaks in process explorer
* there are no hardware conflicts in device manager
* there are no critical errors in system log
* there is no antivirus active
* hardware tests (memory, etc.) do not report any errors
i suspect this has started after i've updated all the drivers from manufacturer's site, but i am not 100% sure. anyway, i do not know which driver has caused this and i cannot easily restore to the previous state.
I have a month-old Dell Inspiron N7010 Core i5 460M with 6 gigs of ram running on Windows 7. Until recently, it has been starting up in about 75 seconds. However, out of nowhere, it suddenly began starting up in between 2 and a half minutes to 3 minutes. I am completely baffled, and I do not know what is wrong. Could it have been something I installed, or is it something that is beyond my knowledge. The last things I downloaded before the problems started were Starcraft II, Need for Speed World, and Microsoft Security Essentials, but I doubt one of those is the source of problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 64 turns off the monitor 1 signal after startup. At login, it powers off monitor 1 and powers on monitor 2. Windows 7 behaves as though dual display is working even though monitor 1 does not display. It's the same for single display, the monitor will not work on cable 1 except at startup.Both 'Extend these displays' in Windows Screen Resolution and 'Extend' in the Nvidia Control Panel is selected. And changing which one is primary does not turn on monitor 1. Nor does switching the position of display 1 in either (ex.left/right/top/bottom).GeForce 8400 GS; Dual Monitor Solution 59 pin (DMS-59) to 2 VGA adapter -tried two of these adapter cables.atest Driver: 306.23 - installed a clean reset install of the latest Nvidia driver released last week.Same Resolution: 2 of the 4 monitors I have tried have the exact same 'recommended' resolution (1280X 1024), both 60Hz, and even chose 16 bit color for both instead of 32 to reduce resources.
Linux worked: Dual display worked immediately when I tried it in Ubuntu 10. So, it's not the hardware. It works in Ubuntu 12 too but not properly -it won't transfer windows across displays. My Windows 7 64 is an upgrade from Vista 64. One person in another forum with the same problem resolved theirs by reinstalling Windows 7. But another got the same problem only after a fresh clean install of Windows 7 64 with the same GeForce 8400 GS and DMS-59 when it had previously worked in Vista.

Ok this is very irritating. I dont know what causes this lag but sometimes I get this and it gets very annoying. I have no idea wat is the cause. I have windows 7 32 bit, 2GB of Ram, 3.73 GHz CPU. When I go to task manager > performance > resource monitor this is what I get:
View 4 Replies View Relatedi've had this pc for a year almost now and it just started to freeze at random moments for like 10 seconds, but after that it return to normal. it can really be annoying while watching Internet or something the sound gets really irritating. the picture stays the same, and after few seconds it just quickly rewinds in few pictures.

cpu : intel core 2 quad cpu q8300 2.5ghz
mother : asrock p43de3
memory : xms3 (ddr3 2x2gb)

supply : cx600 corsair
if anybody can help i would be grateful.... and yea i think (but im not 100% sure) the longer the pc is up and running the more often it will happen... and it happens while im watching Internet most of the time (or any streams). it doesn't happen while i'm playing any video games or anything like that (maybe it does but it is rare).... and it can happen while im on desktop just copying some files any that.
So lately I've been getting lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. They last no more than 1 or 2 seconds, but they are incredibly annoying.For example, I will be typing, scrolling, clicking something, or watching something and it will completely freeze for 1 or 2 seconds, then suddenly jump to where the screen is supposed to be (like to the tab that SHOULD be showing if I clicked on a different tab during the lag spike) [code] Everything was fine. One day I restarted my PC (I usually set it to sleep at night, but this time I had to restart) and after that I noticed the lag spikes. The only significant thing between then and now is probably reinstalling TESIV Oblivion but I do not see that being an issue.These lag spikes are not related to my web browser, as they happen even when I do not use the internet. However I DO NOT GET ANY LAG SPIKES WHILE I AM PLAYING A GAME. When my PC is dedicated to running a game I do not get any lag spikes at all. They only happen on the desktop / internet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think its the CPU or the RAM, My CPU is i5 3470, and RAM is Kingston 1600Mhz 4x2GB the bios set my ram to 1333 for some reason when Installed the win, I set it back to 1600 manually. and it freezes after a few hours repeatedly. here are my CPU-Z screenshots of CPU,Memory and SPD tabs, tell me if something's wrong.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI hope I'm posting this in the right sub-forum....! I've been having lag issues for about two months and I'm getting pretty tired of it.The basic problem.I get lagspikes of between 300 and 1200 ms every 20-40 seconds and this is consistent regardless of what I am doing.
[code]...
There is no apparent link between the lag and CPU or memory (RAM) usage. So I've ruled that out because these stay at the same level even during the lag.I should add that all the relevant drivers are up to date.

I've no problems with IE. I've run MSSSS. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've got the same problem whether wifi or wwan. I've, using RevoUninstall Pro, uninstalled everything down to the essentials.

-Different power supply (same thing)
-Removed CMOS and put back in (same thing)
-left all but 1 ram in (same thing)
I am thinking its the mobo but i want to be 100 % sure before i go out an buy a used one, as for some reason 1366 mobos are expensive.
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop. Two years old. I'll be watching a movie or listening to audio and it will stutter for 1-3 seconds every 30seconds to two minutes. I did a memory diagnosis and there was no error to be found. It only started yesterday after I uninstalled a few unnecessary programs and turned a few things off in command prompt. I undid what I did yesterday and it made no difference.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI currently run everything in admin mode. most of my games force me to. When my pc just turns on it is quick instant response time, but after running for half a day it becomes slowed.. When i click on a program to start you know how it goes to a lightey darkend screen and the yellow dialog box asking to run the program? Well this is how it works. i get a full black screen for about 15 seconds. then the yellow dialog box then the black screen again for 15 seconds. this is on any of my programs. then back to desktop then the program starts. and not even then does the program really start takes about 15 more seconds then black screen then the program starts running. BUT it still isnt.. the screen goes black, then goes to a lighter shade of black, then dark black, then lighter shade of black then the program starts time elaspes 45 seconds or so.. this is for any program.. and when this occurs the black screens i get this EEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR sound from my speakers and if something else is running say teamspeak they all disappear for that time till the program starts.
Also another way to see this issue is when i alt tab out. Takes 2 seconds when the pc is just start or before hand. now it coudl take 45 seconds to get to desktop and 45 to get back in. while this could also cause programs to stop responding and screws with the icon placement on my desktop. Another way of it showing is when i press on the start button and it takes up to 15 seconds to appear. or when i try to pull back up a web browser same amount of timeThis all start occuring after i placed in a second graphics card. although i cant understand why that woudl be causing the issue.restarting the machine is the ONLY way to get this to stop happening and it is truely fustrating i run a very high end computer.
It is the most bizarre thing. Either it goes to sleep by the timer setting or I can use the "Start button" then select sleep. It closes up properly and looks all hunky-dori. Then between 30 and 45 seconds later, it wakes up again.
I heard it happening enough last night that I had to turn the computer off. I joke that it only needs 45 seconds of sleep and is ready for work again..
For example, when I start he computer and the login screen pop up, there is a sound comming, alltho, I only hear about a second of it.To move on, It's the same in everything that includes music, like videos, mp3 (in this case Winamp) games and streaming media.The sound in every way starts after about a 2 seconds from that I press play.I have never had these issues before.nd yes, I have all the latest drivers available, disabled the buildin soundcard etc.Intel Core i7 930X58A-UD3R-Rev 2.0Asus Xonar Essence STXSamsung SSD 830 128GB
