Windows 8 Hanging When Connect The Charger
Nov 10, 2012
I downloaded Windows 8 the next day after it's release.It worked well for a week, but then soon after, every time I would connect my adapter to charge my laptop, it would hang. It works just fine without the adapter. I tried connecting another adapter and it would still hang.
For now I have downgraded back to windows 7. What could be the reason? I wanna upgrade as soon as I can !!
Some one told me to update the graphics card driver. My config is 4gb RAM, 1 GB nVidia graphic card Intel i5 processor...

I recently upgraded my OS from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, and everything seemed to run normally. I have to connect to the internet via ethernet cable, which isn't a problem at all. However, whenever I plug in the battery charger, the ethernet connection stops working, but I can still connect via Wifi adapter.
I can't use wifi most of the time, so this does bother me a lot.

For some reason my laptop's speakers, ever since i got the laptop, have not worked unless i plug in the charger, and turn it off/sleep/hibernate/close and open lid. there are no setting i am aware of that would affect this and i have power saving enabled but i have disabled and problem remains. I am not sure if this is a windows 8 issue or a software issue.

I recently built a PC after years of owning Macs. In general it has gone very smoothly, but I'm now running into an issue where Windows Explorer will freeze. This will go on for minutes at a time, and (generally) then resume functionality after what appears to be it restarting itself.
During this time I cannot get to the task manager, but other apps not using Windows Explorer work just fine.
Here's the details:
Source
Windows Explorer

Today I've tried doing a Chkdsk scan on my primary drive. Through the console, I entered this line to start the process on a re-boot 'chkdsk /f /r c:'.
I afterwards left it to do it's work for the next 1 and half hours '6:40-8:10pm', during this time I went to check on the progress of the scan and what I saw was that it was only '10%' into completion, this confused me greatly as previous computers that I have owned would atleast be around 70, or 80% percent completed, so not knowing what to do, I did a cold-boot.
From what I can tell, no visible damage has afflicted said the drive I did the chkdsk scan process on, but I would still very much like to know why my scan is hanging.

I just got a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad T440p on Friday and to my surprise it came loaded with Windows 8 and not Windows 8.1. I've been struggling to upgrade to Windows 8.1, initially getting a BSOD during the install. Now I've gotten past the install and am always getting it to get suck at the Log in screen with the "Please Wait" message. Eventually it will lock up and get a BSOD "driver power state failure" message.
I have the latest video card drivers, latest wifi drivers, latest power management drivers. Everything updated from the Lenovo website and Windows Update site.
I am posting this message from Safe Mode and it's been the only way I've been able to get on it since upgrading to 8.1.
I've tried to isolate what could be the culprit driver, but have been unable to do so, so I've attached my SF Diagnostics zip file. I've run SFC /Scannow and it found no errors. I had absolutely no problems at all when I was running Windows 8, so I don't suspect any type of hardware issue.

I'm experiencing problems with freezing and hanging with Windows 8.1 on a constant basis. The problem occurs in the browser, when switching between programs and during start up and close down.

I installed W8 successfully about a month ago and all went well. The only recent change I have made is to install Startmenu8 to get a more normal Windows look. Last weekend my computer screen went dark blue and the mouse seemed not to function. I changed batteries and rebooted. However all I got was my desktop with no task bar and no icons. The programmes showed up along the bottom but would not open maximised so I couldn't use them. I have run the diagnostics on F12 at start up. All was ok according to that. I wanted to restore to a previous point so I managed to boot from my CD drive with the recovery disk (W8 version) but it said that both my restore point and image wouldn't work. I therefore tried to do a clean install of W8 but that wouldn't work. It just hung after several hours. I tried the same with W7 but with the same result.
My machine came with Vista so I installed that from the Dell recovery disk. This worked. I then tried to upgrade to W7 SP1 (an upgrade which would never install back in the day) from a CD I downloaded off the Windows website. That went on all night with the machine interminably rebooting. Still hung this morning. So I reinstalled Vista as above (clean) and tried to install W7 from the original upgrade CD. This hung also. The reason I haven't gone straight to W8 is that I think I have an image from a few months ago before I upgraded to 8.
I've just started restoring from a reasonably W7 image in Vista. Cross fingers but it seems to be working. However, I wanted to do a clean install and wonder why neither W7 nor 8 would complete.

I just recently performed a Clean install of Windows 8 Pro on my older HP a1210n. I also added a nvidia gt520 graphics card shortly after installing windows 8.
Everything was running great, no issues until I downloaded Zune (Use for Windows Phone 7). Shortly after launching Zune and navigating through screens the PC just froze (no messages, no errors). My only option was a hard boot. No messages or errors on re-boot. I tried uninstalling Zune and reinstalling and the same thing happened. Also, it was random when occurred. I also ended up doing a new Install of Windows 8 since I had added my video card after installing Windows 8. At this point, it seemed to be a fix, no crashes.
I then installed Media Center and began to experience the same issue, just random hanging requiring hard boot. I did check troubleshooting and found that the Media Center was corrupt?? So, I followed the procedure of turning off the Media Center feature and then after re-start, turning on the feature. It seemed to work, but it hadn't.
I would imagine it has to do with my video card, right? Otherwise, my pc with Windows 8 (Which I think is great so far!) has been working fine.

By hanging i mean all programs stop responding however videos, file transfers and things that are already going on (anti virus scan, etc) still go on. I have to force shut down my computer (hold the power button).
This happens about 10-20 mins after starting up my computer.
PS I ran all kinds of anti malware, anti adware, anti virus, anti autoexec, anti phising, and more. Something weird i noticed is that something (a program i assume) always tries to put off my auto updates but winpatrol detects it and i never allow it to make those changes.
Malwarebytes found 5, but by the time it found those 5, ALL programs were hung up including malwarebytes. Spywareterminator found 11, same problem, it got hung up.

Today I received a prompt to install 4 important updates. These seemed to download OK (total 32MB). I don't know what exactly was included in these updates, I just clicked on Install and carried on with other tasks and operations.
After a little while I got the usual prompt to restart my computer to finish installing updates. I did this, the shutting down message appeared followed by 'Keep your PC plugged in until this is done. Installing update 3 of 4'.
This was at 1536GMT. It's now 2223GMT in my timezone and I've still got thie same message displayed with no sign of any further progress. Should I disconnect the main power supply regardless of the message, or is there another step to take? I vaguely recall this happening when I had Vista, which I eventually abandoned.

I've had my laptop for about 2 months now and I keep having this random freezing problem where the laptop won't function at all, but the last sound will loop (a milisecond loop so it sounds like a scream... if there is no sound nothing will loop). i've been going into the event viewer and have been noticing some errors, mistakes, warning, etc.
Windows Store failed to sync machine licenses. Result code 0x80070490
The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this
reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report.
processor0,1,2,3 all have these errors
Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
When I bought it new, it hanged up once before I downloaded any real software, so i updated my drivers and such and it started becoming less intermittent, so then I updated my bios (came from asus) and it stopped for a while - however within the past 7 days i had 4 restarts because of this (3 in one day).
I have read other posts - none of them can really apply because I don't have those drivers or those anti-virus software installed Windows 8.1 ...

I have updated to windows 8.1 and recently i have having a lot of problems with how slowly my computer is running. May i say I have spent a lot and I mean a lot of time trying to fix this problem and I know it has nothing to do with disk space, viruses or drivers. This has been messing with my network adapter and has been giving me gateway accessibility problems even though there is nothing wrong with my connection proof being that if I diagnose the problem in my adapter it resets the adapter just to have the same problem later until reset it again and the connection and all my devices is fine.
This problem includes a momentary cursor pause at random times that only effects my trackpad if i plug a mouse in it works while my track pad is non functional, this can last from anywhere from usually 2-10 minutes until my trackpad becomes functional again. im not even getting "not responding" messages when it when it freezes at random times, i just have to wait until i hear that chime that sound like it comes from an information box then everything goes back to slow again and barely functional.
This problem includes playing media, being that when i play media it takes anywhere from 2-15 minutes before it starts playing, this media can be from playing music and videos on my hard drive to videos on youtube. When I start up my computer it works fine for a bit like 5-10 minutes then starts being slow again with sending information to execute actions (mainly media actions), i even get a lot of loading issues on skype. Even more to my conviction that its the operating system causing the problem is the fact i had my computer working normally for a week at random just with the gateway connectivity but all files I executed in the times quickly like they were supposed then with another boot sometime later it went back to being slow again.

I have an Acer Aspire E1-571 laptop with a 750 GB HDD partitioned in the following ways:
Recovery partition - 400MB
Recovery partition - 450MB
Recovery partition - 20GB
EFI System partition - 300MB
C: (boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition) NTFS - 338.07GB (31% free)
D: Data (primary partition) NTFS - 339.32GB (100% free)
My laptop keeps hanging, which I think could be due to the C: drive being so full. Sometimes it will hang with only a couple of tabs open in Firefox, and it has been known to hang on start up - though this is rare and hasn't happened for a while.
Task manager keeps saying 100% disk is being used (which leads me to wonder if it is to due with the free disk space in C: ) - and sometimes even task manager can hang. I have been wondering if utilising the D: partition could alleviate this problem.
I'm currently rewriting this on my phone due to the laptop hanging again. Since my HDD is partitioned into 3 recovery partitions, what is my D: Data for?
Can I merge it with my C: without adversely affecting my laptop?
Can I otherwise use my D: to store files safely?
Since it takes up almost half of my 750GB HDD space, I would find it odd if I was unable to utilise it and to find that it was also full of hidden recovery information. When someone (PC World) says they'll sell you a laptop with 750GB HDD space, they actually mean that they'll sell you one with less than half this free disk space?
The constant hanging has gone past infuriating and I would love to get it sorted - though even if it has nothing to do with freeing up space on the C: drive, I'd still love to know what this D: is for and if it can be used.

Have attached the SF diagnostic zip.
My system is Windows 8.1, Samsung notebook, i7, 8gb RAM and 1tb hard-drive.
I updated the Intel Rapid Storage Driver but no improvement in situation of BSOD on waking up from sleep. Basically, the screen/desktop is visible and I can move the cursor and try to double click on programs, before getting the BSOD (collecting errors and restarting) screen.
I always do 'full shutdowns' /have disabled fast startup. Have also disabled some startup apps such as google updater and a couple others but the laptop is still taking around 3 minutes to boot with no HDD light activity for a couple of minutes (is this normal when fast startup is disabled???). Shut downs /entering sleep mode are swift.
On another note, Synaptics driver isn't installing and I was told that would work (for some reason) but that may not be relevant.

My system specs are the same as under my profile.
Running a single R9-290 on Win 8.1 Pro 64bit.
The PC completely hangs up when installing the new 14.9/14.7 beta drivers.
It extracts fine, checks system requirements, starts installation, reaches "Installing AMD Display Drivers" and flickers twice, and freezes up a second later.
Tried almost everything. Uninstalled previous 14.4 via control panel (they work fine btw), used Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode, restarted and tried installing, but to no avail.
Have also tried uninstalling the MSI afterburner and other similar programs but get the same result every time.

Right after I installed the windows 8 I tried to make a new connection to the internet (I have a modem), but when I hit the button connect (after typing the username and password for the new connection) I get an error ("Windows run into a problem and needs to restart") and it restarts.
I re-installed Windows 8 three times so far but no success.I keep getting the same error just when it tries to connect to internet.

I installed Windows 8 and now all FTP programs will not connect to any FTP accounts. I've connected to the ftp on other computers and its worked fine, so the password and all are correct. I've tried:
-Connecting with FileZilla, FireFTP, and Windows IE
-Turning off firewall entirely.
-Adding or removing special exception to the windows 8 firewall setup.

I have a new Windows 8 pc and I need to connect to our website's remote SQL Server database. Everything works fine on our older Windows 7 pc's, but on Windows 8 I get a "The server was not found or was not accessible..." error.
Our hosting company has us use a VPN in order to connect to SQL Server and the VPN shows that it is connecting fine so that should not be causing this problem. We have a MS Access front end application that we use to view and edit data and I have tried using that to connect and I have also tried using SQL Server Management Studio 2012 and they both return the same above error. Both of these options work fine on my Windows 7 laptop.
We have Norton Internet Security installed on all of our pc's here and I also tried disabling that, but I still got the same above error so I don't think Norton is causing this problem either. I believe this must be something related to Windows 8.
I've been researching this online and I tried to ping our server and it worked from a Windows 7 pc right next to me and timed out on my Windows 8 pc. Unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise so I don't really know what that means.

I am currently on an old Dell Inspiron running Vista and have no problems connecting to my wireless network and getting online but the Lenovo G Series I just bought, that runs Windows 8, does not want to connect.
Firstly, I don't like that it's constantly trying to connect to a bunch of default networks that it CAN find that aren't mine. I want to disable those. I only want it to attempt to connect to mine.
In the middle of typing this, it looked like it was working for a moment, but then it went down again. To this new computer the signal is reading very weak or something. Every other device in my home can connect except for this new computer.

I currently use Win 8 on my main PC and on my laptop, I need to connect a Bluetooth speaker to either of them but keep running into the same problems.The PC is an Asus P8Z77V De-luxe, with its own Broadcom WIFI and Bluetooth. The Laptop is a Lenovo Z480, again with Broadcom WIFI and Bluetooth.
Whenever I try to connect the speaker, the device is detected correctly, then as soon as I click on it to install/pair, Win 8 begins to start pairing, but then shows the device as "offline" It does the same with the PC and the Laptop.
The speaker is working fine as is the Bluetooth - it connects flawlessly with my Samsung S3 - I have updated my Bluetooth drivers, uninstalled them, reinstalled them and nothing allows the pairing to complete. I have a Bluetooth headset and it has the same problem when I try to connect to my PC, but works ok with my laptop.
