Crashing Within Few Seconds Of Booting Up And Logging In
Sep 13, 2009
Another one of my rigs is crashing within a few seconds of booting up and logging in. Now the problem: upon booting the system and logging in, it will crash usually within a few seconds of logging in. Though, sometimes it crashes after being logged in for a few minutes and sometimes it doesn't even get to the login screen but crashes right after POST. Most of the time it crashes and there is what seems to be a 5 second long BIOS beep code. There isn't a BIOS beep code all the time, sometimes it would just freeze and lock up. Sometimes it would even crash in safe mode. System restore works temporarily, as in, I do a system restore and it will work for 1 or 2 days then the problem would start again.
At first I ignored the beep code and assumed it was Windows, so I created a new partition on my hard drive and installed another instance of Win XP. I didn't want to reformat because I still need time to backup my data. At first it seemed like it worked but soon, the problem started again, so I realized it wasn't Windows or software related but probably hardware.I then decided to open the case and clean the inside since I figured it might be an over heating issue. It wasn't very dirty inside as I had just cleaned it a few months ago.I cleaned it yesterday with a can of compressed air and I also checked the connections and RAM and it seemed okay. So far it hasn't been crashing, but I ain't holding my breath.Also using a program called Hardware Monitor I've been monitoring the temperatures and volts. The temperatures seem to be okay. As for the volts.

I have recently reformatted my hard drive and i must say that everything is running fine. Everything, all my programs, all that good stuff.Im running Windows Xp, Media Center Edition, with fairly solid specs behind it.I just have one problem, when the system starts up. It does not stop at the log on screen, it just continues into my account without even asking for a password. Now i dont need other people being able to get on my computer simply by turning it on.

I have a Medion PC running Windows XP which I have had since March. Over the last month I have had a problem logging off and shutting the machine down. When I try to log off it removes all the icons from view then freezes leaving just the background. The same happens if I try to turn off or restart the pc. I therefore have to just turn the machine off by the power button whereupon it immediately restarts and everything is fine until the next time I want to log off or switch off.

For about two weeks now my computer keeps crashing every time I turn it on. At first it wouldn't turn off when I go to shut down, then afterwards, it won't boot up normally. I turn it on and it freezes, every time, I have to hold down the power button, wait for a few seconds then try again. It will then boot up or ask to boot up from the Last Known Good. Either way, it will boot, get to the WIndows menu and sometimes crashes again and reboots automatically. I've reported this to Microsoft each time, and I've already re-formatted and re-installed Windows and the problem still persists.

where if i log off an account and try to log in again, there is a 1 min "Loading account settings" (i've checked it and its loading WgaLogon.dll...) and then there is an endless? (i've only been patient enough to leave it for 15 minutes) screen showing the desktop image.I can open the Task Administer and see there are some processes working (scvhost.exe mainly). I notice this not in the cpu-usage column, but on the memory-usage column, where these processes change the used memory (not in great numbers, though) Fast user switching works fine if i dont sign off of any account (I currently have only two).

Ever since I got this PC I have struggled to log on to AOL. When signing on, I need to time exactly the moment the modem arrows at the bottom of the screen turn from yellow to green with the moment AOL tries to move to step 2 of the 6 steps it does while logging in. i.e. when the second of the 3 globes on the AOL screen appears. This is very difficult to do as I have to click the sign on button a few seconds before I think the arrows will go green and I have to time it exactly right. I need to repeatedly unplug and plug in the modem for each attempt. Sometimes I drop lucky and get on quickly, today took 45 minutes! I have reloaded both AOL and the modem several times, but this makes no difference. Once I am in, the connection is fine. If I log out of AOL and then back in again without turning off the PC then I get back in again straight away. I have a PC in another room which has no such problems.

I recently upgraded OS on Dell Dimension XPS t600 to Windows Xp SP2. Witgh SP2, it freezes every 6 seconds for about a second and then releases. It is consistent as if it is polling for something. Even the hard drive crunching stops for that second. I have tried installling all MS updates but it did not help.

I select my account and enter my password. Windows begins to load my personal settings but then quits and goes back to the login screen showing the user accounts. I can stop this from happening by moving the mouse while my settings are being loaded.

i use both mozilla firefox and internet explorer when i have to and when i log into anything form hotmail to ebay on either of these and then click on any icon requiring you to be logged in i am returned to a page telling me to sign in, could this be a virus or even spyware? i have done scans; (ad-aware, AVG, Spybot, Windows Defender, Registry Mechanic, CCleaner, Zone labs antispyware and trend micro pc-cillin interent security) could it be that maybe on of these has removed a file that allows me to log in?

This is very weird, it just started recently happening. I have two accounts on my computer, my account, and a guest account. My account works. However, when I log on to the guest account (which my other family members use), it just shows the background and no taskbar or desktop or nothing, just the background of the guest user and the thing just keeps loading until you need to turn off the computer.I've left it there for over an hour loading. So I tried created a account titled Family for everyone else but it's the same thing. What's the problem here?

I log into my account, windows loads up and during start up, explorer.exe just crashes, it completly removes itself from the task manager every 20 seconds, desktop icons then dissapear with only the wallpaper/background showing. This is a real problem, I've used Spy Doctor and Kaspersky, it found a few malware and trojans and my system appears to be clean however my explorer.exe continues to crash every 20 seconds, forcing me to launch programs through task manager in order for me to function on the Computer. I've read up this problem throughout google and tried some of the advice thats been given to others with a similar problem as the one im facing with however it still crashes.

loose dial-up connection, after you log off your computer simply add this string to your registry, and your computer will keep your connection after you log off, and switch user until you disconnect it Standard Warning: You really should back up your system before making any changes to your registry
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinlogon.
3. Click
Add String Value within the Edit menu.4. Type KeepRasConnections in the dialog box, and select REG_SZ as theData Type.5. Click OK.6. In the next dialog box, type 1 and click OK.7. Close the Registry Editor

I just recently replaced my 200 gig ide harddrive with a 1 TB SATA hardrive, as my old one kicked the bucket. I have reinstalled windows xp and all drivers and got everything working. It is working better than ever ,as my old harddrive was sluggish for some time before it died. But now i am unable to play any 3d games. They boot up fine ,but whenever anything is rendererd in 3d it hangs at random intervals for a good 10-15 seconds then continues for a few seconds and hangs again. I have tried half life 2, swat 4 and ceaser 4. Swat 4 even hangs in the menu screen.

my problem is that my system keeps spiking to 57% then back down again for a split second every 2 seconds. This causes my system to suddenly pause then unpause again, very frustrating. Everything is affected- video, sound, mouse cursor.At around the same time my system begins spiking, my internet connection goes down(talk about a bad day).so when i restarted my computer the internet connection starts "Aquiring network address" then it gives up but the funny thing is the other two computers in my house which are using wireless cards to access the net are working while my computer which uses a wire to connect to the router is not getting any internet access.i'm getting help for this problem within the next few days but i thought i would put this out in a troubleshoot forum (and possibly the solution) for the benefit of anyone experiencing the same.
