My computer crashes alot but I`ve only kinda got it under control acording to microsoft it was a problem with my raidion 9250 but now its jus a device driver witch I still believe is the raidion. Anyways I`m wondering if there is a way to stop this accourding to cnet the company that built this pc put a mac addition raidion in my computer and put win xp home on it. Definatly not smart, anyways this is a $5000 with good performance but its got terible stability for the price
i do scans quite a bit and delete alot of things everytime. there is the msn spyware thing that keeps coming back after i delete that, as well as many other things i dont even know about. some of my devices just shut them selves down from time to time (mouse, scanner/printer, and otherthings i cant remember but the key board is fine) and after a few seconds turn back on. and the whole thing just crashes sometimes. i did that scan thing but im not sure if i did it right.

Every time I use winamp it freezes up on me after a couple of minutes. Also, if I try to use another audio application like soundforge or mediamonkey, the audio freezes up and I have to reboot. I have all the latest versions of these applications as well. I'm running Windows 2000 Sp4 PIII 1000ghz 256RAM - Compaq N160 with SoundMAX audio drivers. I've also tried to update sounddrivers, but there are none available from HP's website.
I am having problems with installing new programs that require Windows Installer. Apparently, msiexec.exe crashes each and every single time I use Windows Installer, and the moddll responsible for this was ntdll.dll.
First off, here are my computer specs (I like to get detailed): HP Pavilion a820n running Windows XP SP2 540J Pentium 4 HT, 3.20 GHz (1MB L2 cache, 800MHz front side bus)512 MB PC3200 DDR SRAM memory 200 GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive.Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 with up to 128 MB shared video memory.Thats whats on the front of my tower. So, the title of this thread is self explanatory. I just turn on the computer and after it loads, after the desktop appears and right around when the desktop icons are loading, it just goes blank and restarts itself. Last night I did an error check for the hard drive, and it didnt come up with anything. I actually went to bed while it was scandisk or whatever, and when I got up, the computer was in its neverending cycle of resterting and crashing. I can, however, load it in safe modes, like with networking; that's what I'm using right now.
I am having an issue with the search companion crashing every time in XP w/sp2. I have re-installed the search driver and ran SFC /scannow but the search companion continues to crash. There is no adware/spyware on the machine any Ideas of a file that may have been damaged?
I have been having a serious problem with explorer If i try and right click any file, explorer will hang, then my desktop and toolbar goes blank, the tool bar and desktop icons eventually return. The same happens if i left click the file menu button for explorer. Sometimes, (not everytime) a message appears telling me drwatson post mortem debugger has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. explorer.exe returns to the process list in task manager.
I'm using a different computer, than my not working one to post this. My other computer has frequent crashes like when i click certain things. It says beginning dump of physical memory in a blue screen and counts up from 1 at the bottom of the screen. It takes forever so i Just restart the computer. I downloaded and installed a BIOS update, tried a different graphics card, tried different RAM chips, tried a different processor, and it still happens.
My internet explorer just started crashing every time i open it, and also the kazaa lite prog crashes the same way. i haven't tried any other programs, but this is what hijackthis says:

windows xp crashes every time i launch video. i'm thinking it's some kind of plug-in problem...maybe java? any ideas to fix? maybe reinstall internet explorer or can someone give me some kind of idea which plug-in to load?
I am trying to delete a directory that crashes Windows Explorer every time I select it. I am trying to use the command prompt to delete the following directory: r:video projectsfreedom interviews I can change into these directories with the cd command, but if I try to erase or delete I get an error that the system cannot find the directory. I suspect this is due to either the spaces in the directory names, or the length of the names, but I can't figure out how to get around the issue.
I am confused, but I will describe this best I can: explorer.exe crashes when viewing folders or anything built on explorer.exe (I guess) at exactly 11 seconds in on them. It also randomly crashes every couple hours. Im extremely confused by all this
I started getting browser and sometimes PC crashes. At first it seemed to be browser related. But the PC would also crash when idle. I tried disabling add- ons in Firefox and opening in safe mode. Tried using Chrome but it would crash with the message that Flash had malfunctioned. Then I started getting Stop messages and BSODs.I hadn't installed and new hardware and, I don't think, installed any new big programs except for updates to existing ones.
I emailed a few of the mini dump files to a friend. He said they didn't specify which drivers were causing the problem. But it might be something to do with the video or the network card. I rolled back drivers. No change. I updated drivers and uninstalled lots of programs. For a month everything seemed stable. Then the BSODs started to return. Infrequently at first but then more regularily. Sorry the story is a bit confused but it is difficult to remember every detail of what happened and the order I did things in.
Each time I turn on my computer and as it is boots up it will delay for a time with a line that reads something like Automatic IDE Configuration and then a message that my date and time are incorrect. The date goes back to Nov. 2003. Once I correct the date, time and year things seem to perform ok.
How do I speed up the boot up time? It seems like it takes forever for my pc to boot up. Plus how do I find out what programs are loading at start-up? I'm currently running winxp and connected by cable to the internet
Since Windows has been released several time zone changes have occurred, and beginning this coming year the Daylight Saving Time period will change in the US. Specifically, DST will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November). Thus, Microsoft is releasing an update to address changes that have or will take place in several countries. The update will be delivered automatically to Windows XP SP2 users starting December 12th (or can be downloaded now by clicking here) and will be included in Windows Vista.
i dont know where the reason could be, since i didn`t install any new programs or had virus problems. It just becomes slow, then I restart and sometimes it helps and sometimes doesn't.
I have a 4 year old computer that runs perfectly, except when I turn it off at night and then back on the next day, I loose a few hours on the time date at bottom of screen. I ajust each time I use it but the same thing happens each time I turn it off. Could it be the clock battery or? My operating system is Windows XP Home
My mouse/pointer is STILL freezing after about 5 minutes of being logged on. I am using the touchpad mouse that is on my laptop. I have ran an updated version of Adaware6, Spybot, CWShredder & AVG Anti-Virus. I also have Spyware Blaster Protection enabled. I don't know what else to do but ask you guys if you see anything funny in my hijack log... Is it normal to have 4 entries stating info about my startup page? My start up page should be Ada County Sheriff, not Toshiba or Ebay
My Start -> Documents history clears itself from time to time...Why? Is that a setting? Is it a hardcoded setting? Can I adjust it (registry setting)? Is there a max number of documents that will go into the Documents history? Is it a hardcoded setting? Can I adjust it (registry setting)?
For some reason, as of yesterday night, I can't syncronize my computer time with a time server. When I click on the time on the bottom right hand corner, and under the Internet Time tab, I can't syncronize the time using both time.windows.com and nist.gov servers. When I use the Windows server, it gives this error message: "An error occured while Windows was syncronizing with time.windows.com. The time sample was rejected because: The peer's stratum is less than the host's stratum."
I just wondered, why does Windows XP freeze here and there? I would think, from what I understand of preemptive multitaking, that worse case, Windows should just slow down, but now freeze like I see it do. It is like it gets taken over by one program or stuck on one task? I am not jsut referring to this computer, I have seen this on about every Windows XP machine I have used in the past few years.
I'm new to forumz with a question about IE7 that I use. From time to time the interface flashes and I can't seen to get it to stop or know what's causing it. I use spysweeper and norton IS-2005. Been using this combo since '05, but this problen started only 3months ago.
I recently put together a new PC - AMD X2 4800 / Nvidia 8800 GTS.For the most part it seems fine (just played through the first hour of HL2 / Episode 1 with full details etc and no issues at all), however, when i'm just idling around the windows desktop, browsing, shifting files around etc, I frequently get a complete lock up.During these lock ups the keyboard becomes unresponsive, the display stops updating etc, but the mouse cursor still moves in a laggy sort of way, for a few minutes until a BSOD flashes for an instant and the PC reboots. Eventviewer has a few offers on the subject. problems with the i8402prt driver failing to load, which would appear to be keyboard / mouse related somehow.
I am having problems with IE7 crashing. I have run all spyware and adware programs, I even uninstalled them as well as some other programs that I thought might be causing problems. I disabled the shell extensions that were not Microsoft or Windows IE.
I monitor calls on a site--I call up popups that contain the calls--I go along fine and then out of no where the windows freeze up and I cant get out. Then i get the "IE needs to close"I have been working on this site for 3 years now and never had a problem. I do this at my day job too and I haven't had any problems. I am running Windows XP, Serv Pak 2, IE7 and Bellsouth DSL FastAccess Extreme
Any idea what I could do next? Please let me know Thanks Livefury
I've had some problems with IE crashing. I have Windows xp with sp2 installed. I went through the error report and most contain a problem with mshtml.dll. I got the windows web site and it said that there is some problem with sp2 in this case and they have a hot fix. But it looks like I would have to pay $99 bucks to contact microsoft and get it.
I don't have the windows bar (the one with the start) and I can only run programs through the CTRL+ALT+DEL and having a new task created. I was contaminated with several trojans/worms/etc but I think now I clean, since i already run Spyware Dr. and Spybot. I also already run Trend micro online clean and I have avast antivirus installed.
So I was helping out my neighbor fix his network and I needed some extra help in configuring the router. So I went on linksys' website to chat with tech support. Take all the steps update firmware blah blah... Then I try to get back on the chat login and I was waiting at number 1 in line for about 20 mins and I thought it was a bit weird. Then I closed the window and tried to reopen IE and it keeps freezing on me. I rolled back the system by a day and still having that same problem.
my system has been acting up today. I got home from class and tried to install my Microsoft Visual Studio, it asked me to restart after the installation. When I did, right when it got to the desktop it said something about a registry problem has been restored and the system has been recovered. Something along those lines. Getting back on the subject, 5 seconds after it reaches the desktop it crashes. Not a hard crash, just a restart, but it crashes none-the-less. Is there a way to get around this without reformatting?(I even tried running in Safe Mode, same problem.) I can't seem to find a way to fix it if I can't even get to my desktop.
A couple of weeks ago I downloaded latest windows update and rebooted as instructed. Only the PC kept rebooting itself continuously. When I stopped it with F8 and set it not to restart on errors I got a critical windows error message. I reformatted drive and reinstalled windows, all was fine for a couple of days, then here is the really wierd thing. I heard the fan spinning but neither I nor Lady Walsh had turned the PC on. I once again found it rebooting itself in a continuous loop. Seems it turned itself on from standby and corrupted windows again. I totally wiped the disc, reformatted both partitions and reinstalled windows. Did a full Norton antivirus scan which came up clean. But the same happened again yesterday. Anyone heard of a virus that can start your PC up from standby and reinstall itself ? And that can survive a disc fomat and windows re-installation? I'm running XP Sp2 on an AMD64 with 1 Gb RAM 120 Gb disc.
My Windows XP PC crashes spontaneously. Pc can be on for 1 min to 1 week before this occurs.I have conducted a memory check and zeroed out my hard drive.I have run virus checks with MacAfee and Norton utilities.I have run Spy ware checks with MS spy ware and Spybot.No event logs (eventvwr.msc) have shown errors.Automatically Restart under System Failure has been deactivated.
