Boot Up / Fan Runs On High Speed Much Too Frequently
Feb 26, 2005
I been dealing with hp support the whole time I've owned it. The problem was/is is that the case fan runs on high speed much too frequently. When it cranks on It slows down the computer and continues to run for about a minute.Then after about 2 min. it turns on again at high speed. When this happens and your surfing the web or working in a program it slows that process down. The fan cranks on even when not in use, if left on. Anyway, hp changed the cpu fan first, did not fix the problem. Then they changed the motherboard, it did not fix it either. They are now sending me a new power supply and cord. I'll see what happens.
I own 2 of these pc's and the other one does not run like this at all. As I was troubleshooting the first one I unplugged the 2nd pc to move it to another outlet. I then went to turn on the pc and it's totally dead! I tried everything. Switched out the powercord but that was not it. There is a light on the back of the pc that comes on when the pc is plugged in. It's blinking. On the other pc it's solid, not blinking. I talked to hp and they are sending a tech to the house with a new motherboard and power supply.

When transferring pictures from my camera Fuji FinePix S7000 to my computer, I get a pop-up saying, pictures can be transferred faster using a high speed usb driver. Is this something availible for free on the internet or something that must be purchased? I have done a search but couldn't find anything.

Running an Intel 865BGF board with USB 2.0, and high speed is Properly enabled in the Bios. Yet, every time I connect my Flash drive a 1-Gig Sony MicroVault, I get the message that it would run faster if it was plugged in to a High Speed USB port. According to the device manager the proper controller is there and active, and as best as I can determine Intel says that the board has high speed USB ports, but still the message.

I have installed a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card in my box (pc only had 1.1 on the board). I have an external WD hard drive that is USB 2.0. When I plug the hard drive into the USB 2.0 port I get a dialog box that says "No High speed USB hub found.... HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub." When I look at my devices, I do not see any USB device that specifies USB 2.0, only the 1.1 device that is built in and the new card whci says "OPTi 82C861 PCI to USB Open Host Controller".
I have unistalled ALL USB devices and reinstalled, and still the same. I am running XP Pro , with SP2. The device manager shows no errors and reports that all devices are working properly. I have checked with Dell and there is no new Bios for my pc (Dimension 4300). Everything I have read said XP should support this card without any additional drivers.

I've recently formatted my HD and run Partition Magic to create 5 partitions but now every time I reboot, CHKDSK runs to check each drive, but doesn't find any problems. My drives and labels are as follows; O.S.(C), DVD Drive(D), DVD/CD-RW(E), Data(F), Games(G), Video(H), Music(I). I'm running twin WD 250 GB HD in a RAID 1 configuration. 30 GB dedicated to (C) and the rest are split to contain between 50 to 60 GB. I've also adjusted the cluster size to 16K. File system is NTFS and os is Win XP Pro. I haven't installed any antivirus or firewall because I'm not connected to the internet yet. Also no progs running on startup. This is a fresh HD with nothing installed except os and drivers. Partitioning was fairly easy and straight-forward so I'm really scratching my head to figure out what is wrong.

Whenever I reboot CHKDSK runs weather I have told it to or not.A previous hard drive was failing on this PC. I had Norton Ghost making images on another HD. So when it failed, I was able to make that backup HD the Boot drive.I think that maybe while the old drive was failing, some data was corrupted. Because during the CHKDSK process,

Today when booting up the pc, chkdsk autostarts (it usually doesn't..) but it hangs in the same place each time.I'm running XP (updated), but not in English, so the quotes are translated as accuratly as I can: It first confirms files (step 1 of 3) It then confirms index(?) (2 of 3) It then says "Correcting error in index $I30 for the file 106330" (twice)And then "sorting index $ I30 in file 106330" Then it just stand like that (waited 3 hrs).There is no sort of "work noise" or lights from the machine, just the fans.. I've tried restarting a few times, but no difference.The only thing I did yesterday that might have had this kind of effect is installing Gimp, but I can't see how.

I have a Toshiba Satellite (it's about 2yrs old). Yesterday I did a interlnet explorer update and when my system did a restart to install the screen went black. I powered off then on and it would goto the xp loading page then go black again. Tried to restart several times sometime I could get to the login page and once I logged in my desktop would appear but I could not do anything. Tried f8 went to last known good configuration but still same issue. Tried safe mode but you can not do a restore in safe mode. Several times when i was able to get logged in a blue screen would flash but very fast and it would say something about an error and needing to restart.

Each reboot starts with scan of fat32 and checks for errors on file system c:/says Removing trailing entries from system volume - restore It then says entries have been checked and fixed ,says windows will now start up then does the acer screen, then windows xp screen loads then it cuts back to scandisk again. I could reformat with the original installation disk, but the owner of this computer wants heaps of files and photos and things off the harddrive first, so i want to see if i can fix without loosing her data.

So I have a few SP3 machine that give the lovely gdi32.dll blue screen on boot. I can solve it by booting an XP disk and going into recovery mode to copy a new gdi32.dll over the old one, but I was thinking since I am going to be seeing alot of SP3 updates, and a good deal have errored out already, it'd be cool to automate the fix just a little to save some time. Time adds up when you have to let the Windows CD boot up, and then type out the file paths for copying the file, etc.Is there a way to run a batch file from a bootable CD or USB drive? I want to boot up, run the bat, restart. Seems like it'd be a very fast and very easy solution. I just don't know how to do that.

Hi all
Like the title says, everytime i turn my machine on the windows page appears on start and the load bar just keeps going. I left this running for an hour and nothing happened.
I have read tons of stuff and tried loads of stuff and yes you guessed it nothing has sorted it out.
My computer knowledge isnt great so if this requires Bios work or Command prompts i will need some detailed help.
Cheers All

About 2 months ago I had to replace the hard drive. It was a WD40 gig. I chose a Seagate PATA160 gig. It works good but since that time it takes a long time to boot up. Would a new, larger drive need more memory. I didn't add anything else.

I am using a DSL connection with a maximum download speed of upto 2MBPS but i usually recieve it for about 1-1.5MBPS. I have tried using Download Accelerator softwares to increase my speed but wuth those some spam also come into my computer so i am not using it anymore. Is there any way by which i can increase my internet speed by doing some changes in Windows internally. Also while using sharing sites my speed tends to fall to about 45KBPS.

I have a problem with my computer freezing. I am using Windows XP SP3. The freezing occurs kind of randomly, sometimes after being on for a few days, sometimes after windows starts, but when it occurs, I have to push the power button on my computer to shut everything down. There is no error message, everything just stops.

I am facing the disgusting "windows frequently restarts" problem. I am using Compaq Presario X1028US laptop with Intel Pentium Centrino 1.5 GHZ processor, 512 MB RAM and a 160 GB hard disk with Windows XP SP 3 as the OS. I regularly update the anti virus (AVG) and the Windows automatically. The most recent change to the system was to upgrade AVG from 8.5 to 9.0 which was done yesterday. Everything was fine until today morning when the laptop started restarting by itself. I first ignored it and continued to work and it became more and more frequent. I have referred several posts on the internet and have done all the things mentioned below in order but the problem still persists. I am not able to pin point to the cause of the problem. It should be noted that the problem exists only in the normal mode of Windows XP and not in the Safe mode.

An error that has been on common on my computer for some time now. i have had it a lot more frequently. I have yet to complete a full panda virus scan on my computer except on safe mode. I found a virus and it disinfected it,my computer still crashes quite a lot. I used to have norton installed, but i couldn't finish a scan with that either so i tried to remove as much of it as i could and installed panda.

I have just tried to reinstall XP Professional on an Elite computer.
Initially all seemed to be going well I got as far as the desktop and an invitation to take the tour, which I declined and went straight to connect to the internet. At the same time I opened a previously prepared set of instructions for completing the wizard.
I noticed that the instructions would not scroll easily, moving in little jerks, but I carried on. About half way through the wizard the computer froze. Finding nothing on the keyboard or mouse that would work I switched off the power.
