I have a Toshiba laptop A500 series running Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. the computer was purchased in May. I am using MSE and Panda as my anti Virus--and Malwarebytes also. I scanned with all of them yesterday and they say my computer is free form anything malicious. However 2 times this week including this morning at startup the computer is checking C. I am worried that something is wrong.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI keep getting two Windows updates on practically a daily basis. They are KB2676562 and KB2679255. These two updates download and install successfully every time. I've tried hiding them, but they just come back a day or so later. Maybe there are no other updates available, but I haven't gotten any other updates other than Microsoft Security Essentials virus definitions since late July.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery morning about 30-45 minutes after boot the computer BSOD. Looking at the Nirsoft bluescreen review its caused most of the time by Threatfire which is a PCTools file the antivirus run on the machine.
Back in December prior to PCTools I had Microsoft AV on and AVG each seemed to cause the same problem.
I've run the windows 7 memory check but if I change it to run more than 2 times it freezes and never completes. Spybot, PCtools, Sophos, never found any significant threats
HW:
Macbook air late 2008
2gb ram
Intel core 2 duo
Windows 7 enterprise 32bit
My next step is to try turning off Threatfire, effectively shutting of the antivirus.
I installed Windows 7 SP1 64-bit on a Toshiba laptop which used to have Vista 32-bit on it.Yesterday I put in all the Toshiba drivers and ran chkdsk and am pretty sure it was ok.I ran chkdsk tonight and got a message that was so quick I can barely read it, but on reboot at the end it says "A disk checking has been scheduled. Disk checking has been cancelled" which comes and goes very quickly.In BootExecute in the registry it seems OK and shows it as "autocheck autochk*".
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got a used laptop, popped in a new hard drive, and installed a legit version of Windows 7 Ultimate from scratch. Everything went smoothly, it picked up on all my devices & installed drivers correctly. The only problem is - I can't update Windows. When I go to start--> all programs--> windows update, it goes to "checking for updates" and does that - forever and ever - even if I leave it go overnight.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed a legit Windows 7 OS on my laptop. Its not an upgrade, it was a blank hard drive. WIndows 7 installed flawlessly, picked up all my drivers. The only problem is I am having problems with Windows 7 updates. When I choose Windows 7 update, it says "Checking for updates" and stays like that - forever. Even the next day. I did heavy heavy research, found out others are having the same problem. I tried all the fixes I could find, which are listed below:
1. No Anti-virus programs installed yet - brand new Windows 7 ultimate installation
2. There is no spyware - its a brand new clean install
3. Firewall shut off
4. Temp files, cookies, history cleared
5. background intelligent transfer service set to automatic in services.msc
6. software distribution folder renamed
7. tried shutting off automatic updates and doing it manually
8. Added windowsupdate to trust zone
9. ran MicrosoftFixit50202 in normal and advanced mode
Even with my internet SHUT OFF (turned off modem) it still checks for updates and doesn't fail with "No internet connection available".
I have windows 7 64 bit sp1, and when i check for updates it checks for updates with no results. I have let it run overnight and still nothing. It says checking for updates with the green line going back and forth, but never gets any results. Can someone help me with this it is very frustrating.

I created a disc image of my computer but I am wondering if there is software that will create a daily backup by checking for any files that are different so that it does not have to make a new disc image daily. I plan on leaving my regular computer and this backup drive always on. Is this possible and what software is recommended?

MY in-laws bought a new computer a few weeks ago.
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM
SP 1
Acer Aspire M1470
bought 3 weeks ago. Been crashing from day one one or two times a day.Ive tried to update the audiodrivers and the LAN-drivers but still BSODS. Most of the BSODS are memory_management but Ive gotten a few others (page fault in non paged area and pfn_list_corrupt)Ive also done the windows memcheck and found no errors.Unfortunately I cant use the perfmon to generate a report. I get an error and Ive tried the guide here making sure the right services are started and set to manual but I just cant get it to work.
I am not confidant that I posess the skills, vocabulary or knowledge needed to participate in this forum however this random shut down problem has become so regular that I require some assistance. Essentially it feels like every time I leave the computer unattended for more than an hour or two I return to find the black screen of death telling me my computer did not shut down properly. Attached is the SF Tools file you reference. - Have figured out how to use Event viewer - 17 Critical Event occurances involving Kernal-power (Event ID41 Task Category63) since 2012_06_02; 1xJune 02, 1xJune 06, 1xJun 18, 1xJun 23, 2xAug 08, 3xAug 10, 1xAug 11, then twice daily since the 12th.

This appears to be a random event, It will happen while I'm working in Word 07 pro, browsing the internet, or even while the computer is idle.I've attached the reports from the SF Diagnostic tool.Please assist me in finding a solution on this ASAP, this is a business computer and can't have it constanly going down, especially while in the middle of a meeting with clients.
i quite like this program.it creates a full registry backup on the 1st boot of the day. i can see the files at the end of some horrendously long path. but have never been able to figure out a simple way of switching to the registry as backed up this morning.Can someone shed some light to this?

I've recently had quite a few system crashes on my desktop. After I got the first one, they have been rather frequent, 1-5 times per day, usually when watching videos. I have tried reinstalling windows, flashing bios, updating misc drivers, ran CHKDSK on both my os ssd and storage hhd, but in vain.

I have no other components connected to the computer. I have attached a zip including 6 minidumps.
I have an ASUS n80vn laptop that is about 3 years old. It came with OEM Windows Vista, but I installed my own copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit more than two years ago, and there was no problem upon installation.
Lately (for about a month), I have been receiving BSOD either during boot or the log-in screen. The BSOD usually happens only once per day, and I would be forced to restart my computer. No BSOD upon restart. I suspect the problem occurs when the laptop is cold. I have attached the BSOD Dump files collected over the past month.
The only driver change I've had was nVidia graphic driver updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the two most recent drivers and the BSOD problem still occurs.
On a side note, I have been getting random freeze-ups too, and this has been happening before the BSOD problem. These freezes occur when I'm doing regular tasks such as web browsing or typing in Word/Excel etc. When my system freezes, there is no BSOD, but nothing can be moved (keyboard + mouse won't do anything). Closing lid does nothing too. Strangely, I have not been getting this kind of freezes when I play games.
Quick rundown of specs:
-Windows 7 Professional 64bit (retail)
-Age of hardware: ~3 years
-Age of OS: ~2
-Processor: Intel core duo P8600 2.40 GHz
-RAM: 4GB
-GPU: GeForce 9650m GT
Since I got my computer, it has been giving me BSOD's almost every day. Crashes happen most often when playing games, but it has occurred at other times also.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor about 2-3 weeks now, I've been experience random BSODs. After trying several things, I decided to reset to factory last week. All was well until a few days later, it continued with another BSOD. Ever since then, I've been getting them at random. Sometimes it'll happen 10 minutes after I boot my computer, other times it could take a day or so.I download Bluescreenview in hopes that I could find what was causing this issue and get it resolved.Bluescreenview stats that the bug check string is: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLEDcaused by driver: ntoskrnl.exeThere are other crashes where the driver was hal.dll and win32k.sys.I'm not sure how to post my MiniDump files, I've tried accessing them, even with the Windows Debugging tool, but it says I don't have permission to open the file.[CODE]

You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To skip disk checking, press any key within(10)seconds.I have allowed it to continue numerous times, but it makes no difference, this same error comes up every time I start my computer, now I just press a key within 10 seconds and that gets rid of it.
