1) As I'm on a laptop, my power settings are set to balanced. The system turns off the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity (the default setting). When I touch the pad to turn the screen back on, Windows freezes. I'll have to do ALT CTRL Delete to bring up the log-out menu and sign back in again. After I sign back in, Windows work normally. The only way around this I found is to manually change the power settings to prevent the screen from turning off altogether. Is this a known issue?
2) When I put my system to sleep, I find that it will turn on by itself and then shut itself off again. I think this may be related to automatic update at a given time. It happens at night. The system would just turn on and after 20 seconds or so shut itself down.
I may have selected the wrong section for this and if so, I appologize.My system loads up after a reboot/shut down and then about 30 seconds or so after it loads up, will not respond to commands. This lasts for a few seconds and then everything I click during the *frozen period* happens all at once.Mouse seems to be working/moving across screen, just what I asked it to do, it doesn't do.I"m ttrying to track down what is going on during that time frame that causes this odd freeze (for want of a better word). Is there something out there for novices that might
Im having screen freezes every couple of days. My whole computer just freeze what its doing.Been
-on word -on a game -watching movies -transfering data
So no specifi thing sets it off.Cant alt-cnt-delete.Its like a screen shot of my computer and watching a picture. Cant even move the mouse.My keyboard can change colours via buttons on it (logitech g110). I cant even change the colours coz its like the whole pc is in a time freeze..Due to this i dont get an "windows had an unexpected error" message when i restart the computer...
I can't seem to shut down properly. It hangs on the shutting down screen and freezes (wheel stops spinning) I haven't managed to many BSODs but I have managed to get one, I've attached it. Any idea what the problem might be? I've tried restoring from previous restore point which then hung but windows said the restore was successfull
I am using a shuttle xpc St20g5 with windows 7 pro,when I'm on either Chrome,IE or Firefox suddenly it crashes with usually a white screen and there's nothing i can do so i have to reset.
friends laptop that freezes after boot, win and safe mode, looks like a new malware.Screen goes white, CRL/ALT/DEL still brings up "security screen" but choosing "start task manager" sends you back to white screen. Screen has no icons or task areas but box is not realy frozen: mouse is visible and moves normaly. A custom sound is played on first press of CTL or ALT keys but displays nothing. After about 2 minutes the screen displays the desktop background for 2 seconds and return to blank white. The behavior started after the owner visited his home town paper website in BC canada. No way to gain control and make changes that will last after reboot.
This happen not long after on my PC after a fresh install of Win 7 , tried to use print screen but all of sudden windows froze and I have to restart each time. Are there any people out there got the same problem as me? I'm using the generic labtec ultra flat keyboard btw..
Turns out all my problems were an aged battery, according to the tech shop who reinstalled windows after some deeprooted viruses. But now my laptop won't shut down all the way, but the screen turns off. The keyboard's LEDs stay on, and the fan keeps blowing. It stayed that way for at least five minutes, between me getting a snack and coming back. I don't know if they reinstalled from the disc that shipped with the laptop or gave me a knew windows 7, but this particular issue only started when they reinstalled the OS.
I am running Windows7 64 bit for two years now. Since three months ago, I get a sudden windows shut down time to time and frequency increased this week, three times so far. I have not installed any new hardware or software.
When I reboot, the "repair mode" does not work and I have to use the "normal" mode. I also used the "safe mode" with no issue and when tries to use the "windows repair mode", it does not start.
Tonight, I also had a Blue Screen and when used "safe Mode" the following came up:
Problem Event Name: Blue Screen OS Version 6.1.7601.2.1.o.256.48 Local ID 2057 BCCode 101 BCP1 000000000000000019 BCP2 000000000000000000 BCP3 FFFFF880030F7180 BCP4 000000000000000006 OS Version 6-1-7601 Service Pack 1-0 Product 256-1
I had wondows 7 ultimate running on my internet machine for 2 weeks. Almosi every day 3 or 4 times a day i would get a completely blank dislplay and then the machine would shut down. There were no critical errors that i could find.So i installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the same machine with no changes at all. Ubuntu 12.04 is very resource intensive. After 48 hours of running not one crash , blank screen, or any other major problem.I had the same windows 7 problem on my self built and the dell gx280 i had it installed on. Same problem completely different machines.I do not think i will be going back to windows , as the experience stated above explains windows 7 is still in need of a lot of development work. When i ran win95 second edition was the last time i have experiences with windows like i have had with windows 7.
I'm having an issue with a newer pc laptop. Win 7 dual-core etc. During use the screen begins to flicker black every couple seconds. I've seen this before and it turned out to be an over-heating issue. I believe that is not the case in this situation.
Windows 7 Home Premium: My Boot usually takes about 30 -40 seconds; every once in a while after windows screen boot delays 60 -75 seconds before sign in (this has happened several times and eventually (days or weeks)seems to correct). I have checked drivers, run check disc, memory diagnostics, system restore, driver backup restore, registry errors, System File Checker, etc everything checks out. I have run a boot trace but don't know how to read the results.
I can't logon into my computer because when windows boots then it will freeze on please wait without any hard drive noise. To fix it "temporally" i will need to boot on safe mode and them use system restore. Then when I shut down my computer and then tomorrow when I turn it on again it wiil freeze on please wait again.
I have been having a problem with my laptop. It will run fine, but then will freeze and the entire screen will be filled with some colored pattern. I have included the two most recent dump files.
I just brought a new pc with win 7 pre-installed. Systems goes very well and never have problem except when I gaming. The screen will randomly freeze and require a hard reset. I tried to reinstall the graphic driver several times but it doesn't help at all. [code]

I left my computer on overnight, and when I just returned to it I discovered that it had shut down, and when I started it up, I was informed that Windows had just recovered from an unexpected shut down. Though I guess I should mention that the other night, even though I was not doing anything on my computer, a fan was working really hard (loudly), so I just shut it the PC down. I'm thinking it could be overheating, but it is currently quite cold where I am, so it doesn't really make much sense. Here's the details of the error
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:BlueScreen OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
my laptop shut off then rebooted to a blank screen with invalid partition table at the top.It will go to start up screen,and get to bios but other than that nothing.
I work on my Gateway while sitting on the couch. I surf the Internet and then watch TV. I surf a little more, and then I watch more TV. Some nights, when I slide the computer near me because I've shifted in my seat, the screen will go black and I have to push the On/Off switch until the computer shuts down. The computer, when the screen goes black, is still on, but no fingerpad strokes or combination of key stokes will turn the screen back on. Super frustrated about having to turn the computer off "the wrong way" a couple of nights a week.
I'm getting a message when shutting down Windows 7 that only appeares on screen for a second before windows shuts down. I had this problem with another version of windows, but I can't remember what I did to fix it.I also have to use the F10 key at startup to boot to the HDD with the OS on it. Can anyone tell me how to slow the screen down or pause it so I can read the messageThere may also be a problem in the registry that will not let the OS find and read from the HDD. I'm getting a read error, but can't remember the exact wordingy OS is on an SSD so all I have to do is hit Enter to startup.
my laptop (Compaq Presario CQ61) contracted a virus that did some heavy damage. So I go into the boot up menu and decide to restore the laptop back to the factory settings, just to be on the safe side so I can start afresh.Now it's on a screen that says 'Factory image recovery preperation' and it's currently copying files to restore the hard drive, but it's froze on 58%.
Last night I did the same thing and left it overnight while I went to bed, and when I woke up this morning it was still froze on 1%.
Edit: The loading bar is still there, but the place where '58%' was has gone. My mouse is moving but very slowly.
Edit: My laptop is very warm and I can't feel or hear the fan... it's going to overheat. I've had to turn it off.
I have started playing Guild Wars 2, after the first couple of days my game started to freezing and black screen to desktop before going back into game to only black screen again. At times my monitor would say no signal. The problem disappeared for close to 5 days and came back up again. I've tried playing other games and the problem is similar, freezing to desktop, black screen and crashing to desktop.During the black screen to desktop I would get 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered'. I have updated to a few different drivers including the latest stable driver from Nvidia but the problem still exists.I have ran VMT for 10 passes with no errors.
Prime95 Small FFTs for over 2hours with no errors.Running FurMark the test does complete when I run BenchMark(user's setting) when I do the Burn In-Test everything looks okay until my GPU hits 80c. The computer would shut off then. Though when I play games my gpu varies between 50 to 62c[CODE]
I tries installing Baldur's gate II, my favorite game, an hour ago and just after it finishes installing it says something along the lines of showing me a DirectX enabled movie just to test my video card.
Whether I click "ok" or "close", it opens the movie anyway in full screen. The screen goes black and I can't do a thing. No ctrl/alt/del - nothing.
When I try to boot it gets stuck at the windows 7 loading screen with the Windows logo blinking like usual loading. Tried leaving it on for 30 minutes, nothing happened. Safe mode gets to the loading windows files part and freezes there.First I attempted to use the System Recovery CD it kept on till the loading screen then freezed just like the OS boot. Same thing with installation disk.I don't know how they work, if one or them are the primary stick or whatever. I tried swapping them, still same problem.Hard disk works just fine connected to my other computer as slave.
Got some of the boot cd programs to work -- Mem86 Windows Memory Diagnostics HDDUM SMART viewer Seagate SeaTools All passed.
So nothing is wrong with my RAM or hard drive?Today, Saturday, I transferred the stuff worth keeping on this disk, and reformatted it. Still same problem when I boot the installation CD!
I have a vaio (svs15125cxb) that comes with win 8 installed. I would really like to go back to my w7 x64 but I can't. I disable safe boot, and then when windows 7 gets to the startup screen it freezes. I removed external hardware and tried different ways with no success.
After login, the screen said 'preparing desktop', then an ALL NEW desktop appeared with most program icons gone.black background that it would not let me change.everything was different.programs froze (malwarebytes).libraries reset. my internet program folder missing...programs loading as new installs. It was like a brand new user was on the machine. Explorer kept crashing and restarting... when it stabilized, I could see my docs folder with a padlock on it, but I could access the files. After freaking out, I did a system restore, and it seemed OK, except Symmantec was damaged and needed repaired. Nothing was found with Symmantec, Microsoft security, or Malwarebytes.
