Run Seemingly Randomly Are Being Blocked By "something"?
Oct 12, 2012
I installed a 64-bit Windows 7 operating system. This had been used on another computer which I threw away the hard drive for, and I was having trouble with activation stuff so I used removeWAT since I did pay for a copy. I include that detail only because it might in some way be the cause of this problem, but I highly doubt it and it would be odd if it was the cause.Anyway, before I got an antivirus or any other program I installed parental control software on my computer (Safe eyes). I connected the computer through an ethernet cable to my modem/router (not sure which it is, never took the time to learn). When I ran the "test" the program provided to see if it worked correctly, it said the test failed. I then fully installed the program ignoring the test, and the software simply didn't block anything. Usually when it's not logged into a profile, it blocks all internet access. But this time it was not logged in and anything could be accessed.
After a long tech-support call spanning solutions such as winsock resets and internet explorer options and other stuff, the tech support team could not find what was wrong. My firewall is off, I don't have an antivirus, so nothing should be blocking the software.I uninstalled the parental control software and installed another one called mobicip, which has been working fine.No further problems occurred until we fast-forward to a couple of days ago, when I tried to install the planetside 2 (a game) beta. When I ran the installer/downloader program, a logo showed and stayed, and the program never moved forward as if it was being kept back.Well, you guys probably don't know anything about that game so I won't go into specifics. But for both the parental controls and this game, the only answers were "something is blocking it". Very vague.wo programs I tried to run seemingly randomly are being blocked by "something". I don't have an active AV or firewall, and I highly doubt I got a virus since I haven't really done internet browsing on that comp
I've always had a bit of trouble with BSODs on almost all of the computers I've built, however this latest iteration of my machine has been the worst. It started out fine and never caused any problems, however, about 4 months ago I had an issue that my computer would blue screen 0x00000050 or 0x0000001A both randomly and during shut down. I fixed the problem then through forum reading and trial and error. However, the problem never completely went away. I still randomly, after prolonged use (8-10 hours of heavy use) get crashes with the same stop codes. They are both memory related so I thoroughly scrubbed the ram using memtest and came up with no errors. I've taken the time to update the drivers (as well as my bios) that I can find but don't have the time, or the patience, to read through the dumps to find the source of the problem.

I'm getting a consistant BSOD. At first I thought there might be a problem with the case/jumpers so I unplugged all but the main power, but still got BSOD. Then I thought it might somehow be related to SP1, so I uninstalled it, but still got BSOD. Perhaps there is a physical problem with the power supply or MOBO?
i have a dell inspiron 1535 with windows 7 home premium 64 bit. the problem i am currently having is that when listening to music (mp3s, Internet, itunes, wmp, anything) there's a hesitation and a lag in the computer (much like someone skipping a record). i have done a bit of research on my own and tried many of the proposed solutions such as: disabling enhancements, virus scans, malware scans and so forth.
I have started recieving BSOD recently and would love some help. The crashes started after I had spent a while trying to reconnect to my home wireless (I have an often faulty wireless adapter.) At points I had unplugges the adapter and plugged it back in causing it to install drivers again. Once I got reconnected I had my first BSOD while on facebook. I tried going back on but it just kept crashing after a 5 - 10 minutes.
I just built this computer around the 1st of August this year. It's my second self-built PC and came together without issue. However, I started having blue screens about once a week since maybe the 2nd day after I first ran it. Every single blue screen seems to be linked to the video card drivers crashing. Usually the drivers will crash and successfully recover as stated by the helpful little message at the bottom right.When the display drivers crash, I'm usually in a game of TF2, League of Legends, or even in Mozilla Firefox. The screen will freeze, sound will continue, and after 15 seconds or so go black for 2-3 seconds then go back to normal. The display driver crashing has happened TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT and seems almost entirely random. Sometimes it will crash 3-4 times in the span of a half hour in League of Legends and sometimes it can go several days with no crash and the same amount of activity on the computer.
I've tried everything I could possibly find on the internet and from friends in terms of troubleshooting the display drivers crashing. I've diagnosed my memory, updated drivers, tried older driver versions, updated everything Windows has recommended, checked temperatures constantly... I'm starting to wonder if all of these issues could possibly be linked to insufficient dedicated memory on the video card? It says 1 GB on the box but when I check in system information it says around 750 MB... which sounds dangerously low to me.One more thing... the blue screens have happened 4 times so far, the last happened about an hour ago and the computer has been sluggish since, I can't even use Firefox due to how painfully slow it works now.
It seems I've been having random BSOD Stop errors ever since I put my new PC together about a month ago. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's happened when I've been doing different things, but it almost seems to happen more frequently when I'm listening to Pandora Radio on my web browser (chrome).Switched my BIOS from AHCI to IDE (read on google this fixed some issues). Did not fix the issue.Read the windows website and attempted to get a hotfix for SATA hard drives (something about them not waking up in 10 seconds). Hot fix claimed it could not install on my computer. Gave up on it.Some system information (copy-pasted from newegg, forgive me if it's a lot of uselessness):
whether it be watching a Internet video or trying to view a document on google docs, my browser stops responding. i try to go to my other programs and they stopped responding as well. ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything either, so i'm forced to manually shut down the system. this has happened a couple of times today now.
i been having a problem with seemingly random bsods and crashes (ie where the computer forcibly restarts without generating a dump file). i think the crashes happens more frequently when surfing the internet, especially while watching Internet videos, but that might be a wrongful perception on my part.
Running a Dell XPS L501X had no problems whatsoever for over a year then suddenly BSOD starting last week with increasing frequency.

I have had a persistent and very hard to troubleshoot problem on my PC for the last couple of months. Occasionally when trying to install applications, the installer will not progress beyond 0% or takes far too long to do so. When this happens if I close the installer and retry I get an error along the lines of "you already have this installation open". If I find that process in task manager and close it I can try again, but the same problem will occur.This does not happen with every program, my guess is it happens to perhaps 10% of programs. There seems to be no link between the installations that it hangs on. I do not have a list of applications that the error occurs on currently although I can see how that would be useful. It does not matter if I am installing to my SSD or HDD, the error has occured on both.
What is happening: Periodic (typically once a night, different programs, different times) restarts. Event viewer says it is "Log: System / Source: Kernel-Power Event ID: 41. I am inexperienced at reading Minidumps, but one dump suggests "wininit.exe" and another "crss.exe", not a lot of help there. It has not always been doing this, but unfortunately started when I installed a whole slew of software (Adobe Production Premium, a Cintiq tablet, etc) so it's hard to pin that down.
What kind of machine:
Windows 7, fully updated CP850 psu, p8p67 pro mobo (36c), i7 2600k chip (37c) at stock speed while I'm figuring this out. 4x G.Skill Ripjaw RAM, statistics in CPU-Z and RAMMon included. Passes memtest86. EVGA GTX 570 card (1), drivers updated Vertex2 SSD (OS, main programs) WD Caviar HDD (files) 4x 180mm fans, CM212+ HSF, single optical drive
Steps tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling major programs, updating drivers Checking minidumps for obvious file issues Virus scan, defrag, basic upkeep stuff Memtest for RAM Checking temperatures and voltages in CPUZ/Asus AI - defaulting / setting to auto the configurations in BIOS
For some reason , my computer restarts without notice , just seems to lose power all of a sudden, then it will start up again..This generally happens when CPU usage is at 90+% some games that have been doing this areCrysis 2 << (even on low)ApB Reloaded <<(lowest settings as well)Nba 2k11
I an trying to recover data from a seemingly corrupt drive in 500 gig sata HDD which I ran in windows 7 on 64 bit and I made two partitions one being a boot and the other had data on it and then I had one other sata drive that was 200 gig on separate drive with data! When I run on another computer it doesn't seem to read anything or recognize data!how to recover it?
I've been having issues with my computer for a while now, it crashes at unpredictable times. I believe the crashes started about the same time I installed my current video card.
I am working on my daughter's Presario CQ 56-115DX Notebook running Windows 7. It has been running erratically and has a lot of junk on it and no anti virus. I have tried to install several free antivirus programs and also a Revo Uninstaller with both IE, Chrome and Firefox. All Downloads are blocked (or automatically "cancelled") including your TSG SysInfo. I turned off the Firewall but that didn't help. I also did a System Recovery back to 1-30-2013 to no avail.
Recently, my Vuze, Moyea FLV downloader, and Amazon Unbox (just installed today) are unable to connect to the internet. I can't even complete the Unbox install because I get an error message every time I try to complete the setup. I've gone through my firewall and added allowances, tweaked settings, everything -- I even turned it off to see if the Unbox install would finish properly. It didn't. I still got the error message telling me that it couldn't connect to the internet. Did I break something in my logs? What's happened, here? Trillian and things like that work fine, it's just these certain programs.
When I try to run certain programs like Anki or Second Life that need access to the internet they're blocked with no message from windows, I've tried deactivating windows firewall and other security programs but I always get the same thing. I've tried creating rules for windows firewall that allow my programs to access the internet but it makes no difference. I know it's not my router or ISP because other computers in my house that use the same connection work fine.
Yet again my Windows 7, 64 bit program has preventing me opening an attachment sent to me from a trusted source, on the basis that it could be ANNPATpotentially harmful. Can I override this blockage?
Hope posted in correct area. The other day I FTP pc backup files to hosting account. Now IE 9, Firefox and Chrome do not work but IE9 (64-bit) and Maxthon Cloud do. No malware and have internet connection. Filezilla comes up
Connection attempt failed with "EAI_FAIL - Nonrecoverable failure in name resolution".
Win 7 home. I get:"403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."when trying to get to a ftp web site. Other user account on this machine has no problem.Both accounts are now admin; this (problematic) account was not at first. There is no firewall running, MS or 3rd party. I have added this ftp url to the "trusted sites" in Internet properties. There was a McCaffee app on this account; I removed it 6 boot ups ago.
got 7 Pro OEM dvd. run setup, but it stops at 'windows needs to be restarted...'boot with dvd and it says 'remove DVD, reboot and run setup. but this is what i did above......
I recently installed an SSD (clean install) and all of a sudden had no sound from KNX radioCBS Los AngelesYesterday, it started working again.Today I also installed an HDD with a previous install of Windows 7 and the sound is fine.But the sound is blocked on the SSD.I also made an Acronis backup after it started working again.Is a restore my only option and does anyone know what setting on the SSD could cause this
My problem is that my boyfriend has blocked access to Skyrim, so that I can't play during work hours. If I try to run Skyrim it says: "Application not found". But other than that I'm afraid I know nothing about how he's done it!
