Audio seems to cut out frequently. It's like I'm twisting the audio plug in the jack, if that makes sense. Sometimes it just cuts out, but other times it plays a split second of the audio on top of the next split second of audio. My sound card is a creative audigy SE. The drivers are up to date. I didn't have this problem with XP, so I think this is a software problem.
I can't get sound from any of the web pages I've visited. I tried to install a codec package, and it won't allow me. I am the sole user of the computer, I'm running W7 64bit with a X-Fi soundcard. All other sound works fine and it is hooked up via spdif optical link to a seperate surround sound system.
Therefore, My first question, How do I get the sound to work?
2nd question, even if is or isn't the codec issue, why won't windows update the registry with the codec installation package (1402 error). I am the administrator!
unfortunately I had to reinstall the OS on my notebook and now I stumbled upon this particular problem:
I use Mozilla's Firefox 8.0 and downloaded Adobe Flash Player, xvid-codecs and the DivX-Bundle. But it still is impossible for me to watch flash videos, e.g. those seen on VideoWeed, NovaMov, or Videobb. Where the video should be, all I get is white. When I right-click on it, I get: About Adobe flash player 11.1.102.55. It also doesn't work on IE9. I have already reinstalled all the aforementioned software, rebooted my system. Still didn't work. I also installed all the "Windows Update" downloads.
ok. i need to be clarified in some things that have popped up since some time. this is, if flash will come to an end? certainly, dhtml have evolved to an incredible state, that you don´t need to know actionscript or what the hell is that, to see real time motion in a web page since javascript can do it for you.
now, since people like to watch videos on the net and hd is gathering the whole market, .swf - .flv files, lack the power to accelerate gpu hardware meaning that videos on almost all computers will lag.
firefox, with its 3.5 introduced the power to reproduce h.264 videos and display hd content on the web without the need of the player.
people with this, did got convinced that flash would be obsolete and it will be thrown to darkness. but, adobe recently started negotiating with the manufacturers of commercial video cards, getting to an agreement to bring gpu acceleration through a web browser to the .swf and .flv files, meaning that hd videos streaming sites like Internet, which recently introduced 1080p playback, will be optimal when it comes to stream hd videos, which really sucked because of the lack of the gpu acceleration.
so now that .flv videos does support gpu acceleration through a web browser, think that a well elaborated scripting language as actionscript and everything related to it (.swf and .flv) will die? i want to know what you guys think about this.
whenever i try to watch a Internet video or any online flash video through my usual browser firefox, the video will freeze the entire works. it's not every time. sometimes the video will play through but almost always it'll freeze everything. can't move cursor and only by closing lid and going into sleep mode can i get back up and running. firefox 3.6.18, video drivers updated. flash updated.one curious thing did happen tonight for first time however. while i was scrolling through bookmarks looking for this site the video stopped but i was able to continue using computer. could not get video to replay however. sometimes everything freezes but cursor goes into that "working circle" mode. but still can't get it to unfreeze.
about a week ago i dl'd windows updates, after that most videos (99% Internet) on the web have a green bar on top and the some colors dont line up correctly. i uninstlled adobe flash player 11.xxxx and re-installed it but still nothing, i did a full system scan and still nothing. i do not have a restore point (i know, stupid) ive included a pic of my problem and a link to the article so you can see for yourselves that the video should not look the way it looks in the pic [url]
the problem i have is that mostly the pc restart watching online videos or running flash app in the web. and a few times watching videos stored in pc
i cant make a minidump file becouse pc dont make them:S. yeah allready activate the "write an event to the system log" on system failure. and deactivate the automatic restart and still dont get the blue screen
ill add a image showing the crit error i get from the event log in the seven forum zip. and becouse of this i allready tried making a FurMark stress test for video and dont remember but it was a program to make a stress in memory ram and with no hope both stress test failed... pc didnt restart
i have read in other forums that there are some options of power saving that intel Mboards bring that arent full compatible.... also tried deactiving them in bios options but still the same problem
i also tried changing the video card with another one that i had arround here ( it a little older) and still got the same prob
basically my old 6870 card died because of numerous BSODs it had over the 6 months throunh flash videos and it killed it with artifacts. I have recently received a brand new XFX 6870 and have been using it over a month and its been happening again with flash videos as occasionally get BSOD randomly like 30 mins or even over an hour. which is pointing out Error: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR file path: C:Windowssystem32driversatikmpag.sys
and
Error: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR file path: C:Windowssystem32driversdxgkrnl.sys its even happened once last night on a game FIFA 12 which restarted and had this error Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL file path: C:Windowssystem32 toskrnl.exe
How will I be able to eliminate these problems? my system specs are below and I have built this system over 8 months and nothing is overclocked.
i'm trying to work out some issues that have been plaguing my computer for a few weeks now. my problem is that my system will freeze and become unresponsive when watching Internet and other video players that use flash. i can't get back to normal even if i use ctrl + alt + delete or escape, forcing me to run a hard reset on my computer. an example of what i'll see is in the picture. so i uninstalled chrome, ran a full system scan and pc tuneup using norton 360, unistalled and reinstalled flash and uninstalled and reinstalled my nvidia gtx 560 ti driver.
Ever since I got this computer (Dell XPS) about 3 years ago it has had problems with freezing but recently it has become much more frequent. It mainly happens when watching a movie or long video but has started happening any time, even when the computer is in sleep mode.
Recently I noticed that my 500GB hard drive was beginning to get full. It has everything on it. I installed a second hard drive, 1TB, and my intention was to keep all of the programs and OS on the primary 500GB hard drive and transfer all of my documents (pics, vids, docs & music) to the 1TB drive.
When I go to C:UsersMyName and I go to "cut" a folder like MyMusic and then "paste" it in my new E: drive, it says that the folder is shared and if I move it others will not be able to use it.
Now, before I do this, with MyMusic, MyPictures, etc. I have a question: By moving these over to the E: drive (the new 1TB) drive, am I going to do something I regret, like losing access to these files, the OS not being able to find them, or something like that?
I would like to know, if creating another partition, dedicated to media, would increase performance, and screen capture speed, like a separate hard disk would. I don't think it would because its still running on the same sata cable, meaning the transfer speed cant be dispersed, but I figured id ask to be sure. If I would get even a slight boost from this than I will defrag, and shrink my partition and add another for media.
I got a new motherboard yesterday, installed it, and installed windows. This morning, I decided it would be a good idea to flash the UEFI (BIOS) to the newest version. Now, when I try to boot, it just sits with a gray cursor at the top left of the screen. I went into the UEFI and went to boot order, but it only shows my 1TB hard drive and my dvd drive. But I had a 750GB hard drive with windows installed. I think this is the reason it won't boot, because it doesn't see the drive with the OS installed.
I recently bought an MSI Twin Frozr III 7850 OC and whenever I open any kind of Flash video (x64 BTW) the computer freezes and sound becomes distorted. The only way to regain control of the system is to reboot it. I have no other troubles with it, plays games great, runs quiet, etc. I am running AMD catalyst 10.4, reinstalled driver multiple times, to no effect.
My system specs, if they're relevant: Intel i5 2400 MSI Twin Frozr III 7850 OC Asus P8P67-M Pro Corsair GS 600W Hitachi CoolSpin 1.5TB Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit SP1
I have a hard drive I want to backup to a 64gb flash drive and then restore it to another different hard drive than where it came from. I have windows 7 and office on my laptop and I want it on my desktop pc. There isn't close to 64gb of info on my laptop so it should be fine even though the hard drive says I have 160gb. It is all free space except for those programs.
Okay, I turn on my computer, and after four seconds it shuts off, then 4 seconds later, it shuts off, etc. Then after this process repeats itself for about 4 times, it will take a long time (~5-10 minutes) to show the computer manufacturer logo. Then after that,another ~2 minutes to show the Windows logo, then ~5 minutes to show the user account selection screen. I tried taking out the RAM, leaving one stick in, and then booting it up. It worked, so I am currently in the process of replacing the RAM (I now have 1GB instead of 2). But after a while, it got worse. I have no idea what to do know, and I really need this computer for work.
I got a Western Digital 2TB Green Hard Drive and for some reason I can't seem to format it properly. I used Windows Disk Management and Partition Wizard and on one it takes a long time to format and on Partition Wizard, it stops at 90% complete and then just hangs there. Is this a bad drive or what should I do to format it?
im going to install an ssd (and run windows 7 from it) and would like to be able to keep my old hard drive with (exsisting windows 7 installation) for a few days till i sort out what i want to copy.if i select the ssd as the boot drive then i should be able to look around in the old hard drive?? or am i wrong
My hard drive is constable running even if I'm away from it. I don't have any P2P programs install or anything that causes the PC to download. Here's my HiJackThis log:
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 10:45:35 AM, on 5/9/2011 Platform: Unknown Windows (WinNT 6.01.3504) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.7600.16766) Boot mode: Normal
My laptop apparently is having a hard time booting. I start it up, it will display the blinking cursor and stay like that forever, i hard shut it down and the BIOS will search for new hardware (as its suppose to) and then the blinking cursor will appear for around a minute before booting up! this is really annoying and ive already Reset the BIOS to default and Reinstalled windows (deleted all Partitions and made one)
I'm trying to copy 6,400 songs or 28 GB worth of music from my Seagate External Hard Drive to my Windows 7 PC. At first I tried CTRL+A, CTRL+C and then tried to paste them into a folder called "music" that I created on my "C" drive. That didn't work so I tried right clicking copying and pasting. No luck.I then selected only one folder. That copied and pasted. So I can move about 50 songs at a time. Is this the only way? Or am I missing something? I've done this on other computers with no problems.
I have windows seven RC1(32 bit) and I get a BSOD when my computer works hard for longer periods of time. I do not have this problem with my vista partition. For example if I do a 30 mins skype call or play a game for 20 mins I get the BSOD. However I can surf the internet and listen to podcast for hours and have no problems.
The drive had windows xp on it from another build so i just used it to test. It booted xp fine. It only showed 3gb of ram but i think that was due to it being 1066 and needing me to change bios ram settings. So i took my full version of windows 7 professional that i have used to install on my laptop too and tried to install. I formatted the drive completely and chose to install. It goes through the paces installs.
Then when it is supposed to boot from the hard disk the first time it give me a brief blue screen PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA so i research it and see it can be linked to hard disk or ram. So obviously its not the disk its been running xp fine and so has the ram. But just in case i switched out the ram with 1gb of old ddr2 800 i had from another build. Same error. I then tried my new ocz ram with a single chip thinking its a dual channel problem. Same error. So then i reburn the microsoft professional image to a new dvd r go through the process again and reformat and still the same error. I have tested all i know to test. Any other ideas?
I plug quite a few different hard drives into my PC running windows 7 VIA a usb 3.0 Nexstar SATA adapter, normally just bare hard drives that need data backed up or moved, and as time goes on it seems to get slower and slower to find and bring up a new drive when i bring it in. My assumption is that it caches all the drivers for each drive and searches them to see if a matching driver is already installed for that specific device, or something of the nature. I had thought the 2-5 minute wait when plugging in a hard drive was just how W7 operates but apparently this is not the case according to some other tech savvy people i've talked to. Other USB devices such as flash drives don't take nearly as long to come up as a SATA I could clean out so as to get the process back onto a fresh leg.
In the past perhaps month or two, my computer has started crashing. It happens on start-up after the computer has been off for more than a few hours- about 3 minutes after launch, it freezes- screen first, and then the audio seems to continue briefly before going silent, or looping the last few seconds of sound. After a hard reset, I can start in normal mode and everything is fine- no more crashes, until the next time I shut down/start up (normally this is happening each morning after I have shut down the night before).I read through some info I was able to find on here and (techsupportforum)- I have checked the action center, and there is an entry for each hard reset, "Kernel-Power Event ID 41 Task Category (63)". I have read that this does not actually indicate anything but that I had to do a hard reset. The recurring issues/suggestions I have seen consist of 3 thoughts: 1. PSU is dying, 2. video card or processor are overheating, or 3. multiple audio drivers. I know my video card does run warm, but it isn't into critical temperatures (I have installed an application to monitor the temperature, which I will run from time to time- especially while running illustrator/photoshop/dreamweaver simultaneously, or while playing graphics-intense games [rift, e.g.]). The PSU could be it but I'd rather check on the audio driver situation first.
[CODE]When I go into Device Manager, there is an entry under "Sound, video and game controllers", called "High Definition Audio Device". Under "System Devices", there is an entry called "High Definition Audio Controller". Is this a conflict? Also, when I go to Volume Control Options from the task bar, "Sound devices" lists:Headphones, Speakers, and then two different entries for "Digital Audio (S/PDIF).I really have no idea what the issue is, but it is getting frustrating, and I feel like the audio scenario is the most likely.
My D 200gb SATA hard drive disappears around 1-90 mins while on windows 7. I have tried registry repairs and alot of things. Its not faulty cables because i used to have win Xp on exact same computer but reformatted to windows 7. Rebooting makes the hard drive reappear but it still disappears after a while. It still shows up in the bios though. When it disappears, it is completely gone, even in device manager.
my important data is on my 200gb D drive and i only use C for my os and some other things like Firefox because its only 80gb
