View 1 Replies View RelatedLast night I was upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 via download off of the microsoft site (so I do NOT have a startup disc). As the computer was in the middle of a restart, I lost power during a storm last night.Now when I turn the computer on, it gets past the "Starting Windows" screen and to the point where I can see a default desktop image, but I never actually see the desktop. Instead of seeing the taskbar or any shortcuts, it just brings up a DOS prompt and I have no idea what to do from there or how to get it to restart the install or pick up where it left off.
I'm at a friends house posting this, so I don't have all my computer specs, but I know it is completely Windows 7-compatible.
Could anybody help me out with this or point me in the right direction?
Whenever I try and install Windows 7 build 7068 or 7077 the installation process freezes and after a while i get a "DRIVER_STATE_POWER_ERROR", If I then restart the machine the installation process starts up again but just hangs.
I have tried this with both a clean install and an upgrade and I get the same thing.
However, build 7000 and build 7057 install fine.
I am using a gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H motherboard with the Nvidia 9400 chipset with a mirrored RAID configuration on two of the hard disks. The windows partition is on a non raided disk. The video is outputted via HDMI and the audio via optical to my AV reciever (Harman Kardon AVR-255)
also another thing, build 7057 seems to work fine as I am using it only as media center. HD video, dixv, mp3, recorded and live TV are all fine in media center and the configuration to pass DOLBY, DTS and AC3 5.1 surround sound to my AV reciever works perfectly. However, whenever I try to play a DVD, the screen stutters and flickers every few seconds as though the signal is lost. If i plug the HDMI cable directly in to my samsung plasma, the problem goes away!
If this was happening with all video I could put it down to the nvidia drivers not sending a correctly formatted signal, but it is only with DVD playback. I have tried the drivers which were installed automatically with win7 and the nvidia windows 7 beta drivers and I still get the same problem.
I've done a lot of searches using variations of the above title and came up empty or just plain missed the answer.I'd like to know, if it is not asking too much, the following points:
1. What exactly is the function of Link State Power Management in the Power Options Advanced Settings, PCI Express?
2. What are the implications of using the options available:
a) Off.
b) Maximum power savings.
c) Moderate power savings.
d) Which option is the best selection for my Dell laptop.
I use my PC for audio production and I have a few external controller devices that are USB powered, for example a midi keyboard. I recently had to build PC due to a theft....long story short after building the new PC I've noticed that my USB buses have continual power to these external devices after I've powered down the PC. My old windows 7 PC did not do this. Is there a setting I can change to shut off power to the USB buses when I power off the PC? Or is this a hardware issue?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOver the past 2 years my PC has been afflicted with random power off/power on/reboot events.It will go for months without these and then have multiples of the events in a day. (I had 8 of them 3 days ago.)I assume I have a hardware problem, but nothing has been found and I'm grasping at straws.The time between power off and power on is several seconds.I had assumed this rules out a software cause, but maybe I'm wrong. I know Windows can schedule a power off, but can it tell BIOS (or something) to power back on in a few seconds?I know blaming the power supply is a much more simple explanation, but then I'm left with explaining the intermittent nature of the failure.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer wouldn't shut down, even with holding in the power button, and so I just let it run out the battery. Then it wont turn on. I tried holding down the power button to clear out any charge that might be remaining. I have managed to get it back on, but I have to make a connection at the clip where you plug the power button ribbon into the mobo. Also, this is the second time I have had to do this. The computer works fine afterwards...or seems to anyway.

I found a utility called "Pangolin Screen Brightness" that allows you to do it manually, so I know it's possible, but can't find anything that can add that option to the power settings.
Problem is in the title thread. Windows turns off, screen goes into power saving mode, but lights are still on and fans are still whirling. When I try to turn it off in save mode, it freezes on "shutting down computer".It will restart although it takes ~30 seconds to do so.Problem started last Friday. I haven't installed any new hardware since Wednesday, when I installed my HDD. I might have updated a driver, but I can't recall.I've reset the BIOS back to original settings also, but that's had no luck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have both Windows Vista and Windows 7 on the same PC. I run a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and both Vista 64 and 32 bit. The problem is that no matter what mouse I choose to use on Windows 7, shortly after using the system for at least an hour I either have pointer problems or battery problems. I use the same mouse on Vista and it can go months without an issue with the batteries going low. I have used othe mice but I am used to using the MS Intellipoint. On both O/S's I have the latest drivers and where the MS system gives you a leaway on usage on the changing of batteries the Win 7 system gives you hardly any recovery time before replacing the second battery. I use mainly photographic and artware programs so The issue is lagely to do with the workspace management in windows. Power seems to be a high wastage on win 7 whereas win Vista just takes its time to boot in. The driver database in both Win 7 and Vista seems to be identical about the only difference I can find is in coordinate checksum amalgamation on a 64 bit datalog. Something needs to be sorted because this is not the ideal selling point for Windows 8. In fact I am even more put off of the newer interface because it seems to be catering for smudgey fingers more than the everyday user whom uses the computer to work for him.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was among the 1.4 million SDG&E customers that lost power on Sept 8, 2011. At around 10:30PM the power came back on and I attempted to boot up my Win 7 machine (which was on at the time of the outage). It gets through POST, displaying the list of auto detected devices, clears that screen to black and then displays a flashing white caret on the black background and gets stuck there.Any ideas on how to restore without re-installing Win 7 (and everything else)?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got two hard drives on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system.They are drives C: (a solid-state drive) and drive D: (a 500GB WD standard drive).After 30 minutes, drive D: powers down to save energy. I've only got a few video files on it - I use it as a media drive. I'll be using the system just fine. When I open up Windows Explorer, and RIGHT-CLICK on any file on drive C: (the solid-state drive), there is a pause while I have to wait for drive D: to power up, and get up to speed (about 8 seconds). Then, the system responds again.My question: Why is this? I'm not looking at any files on D:, why does Windows need to power it back up at all when I am dealing with drive C:?
