Internet Problems Have To Reboot After Few Minutes
Jun 15, 2006
I recently installed the Microsoft SP2now I'm having some issues.When I first boot up my computer and log one everything is fine. A few minutes later my internet seems to mess up. In Firefox,everything seems to just die. When I click on a link it acts like it loads it, but nothing happens. If I open a new window, it's opens a blank white window with nothing in the address bar. If I try to type in a website, it will appear to load it, yet nothing happens.I have MSN Messenger set to run when windows starts, and it does connect. However, it will shortly 'die' as well. If I try to reconnect to it I get an error. When I ran the troubleshoot for it it said the problem was in the 'key ports'.There is an old game that I frequently play. The odd thing is, it works perfectly. I can load it up and connect to it without a problem.
XP Home reboots in the 3+ minute range. Once it gets to the 'Starting Windows XP' screen, it loads fine. Some damnthing is hanging.MY comp is running slow. Expeciially on the net. Task manager is reporting no excess network use. IE 6 acts like it's on a 56k modem. I use Mozilla FireFox, which runs fine, but my wife is a IE 6 fanatic. Shareaza and WinMX load slowly and take a minute or more to change tabs. BitTornado (latest versions all) loads and runs fine, but seems to hang after an hour or so. It stops updating speeds, seeds, peers, etc. It also closes slowly. Once I get online, the comp slams on the brakes. Mozilla is the only app that seems unaffected. Sygate is also logging a lot of portscans. 7 in the in the last hour or so. All from the same IP address.
Hello All, this is my first time here and I have a big problem. Last weekend, my computer began acting very slow, etc. Not too long after, the computer began to reboot itself about every 20 minutes without warning. It would just suddenly reboot, as if I'd hit the reset button. This obviously made me suspect it was a virus infection, so I restarted in Safe Mode and ran AVG. It gave me results and I hit the "Heal" button, deleting the entries.I assumed this was the end of it, but as soon as I restarted, the 20 minute reboots began to occur again. For the past few days, I've been trying to find out exactly what is wrong, but have been unable to do so. When I restart in normal mode, a message appears that says "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error". I'm hoping that you'll be able to help me out because I REALLY need that computer right now.
I have been suffering through a weird phenomenon lately. Whenever I go to IE the first time of any boot or reboot, it "hangs" after filling up the status bar for several minutes, then releases and all is well. (NOTE: I don't think this is IE-specific. It has happened booting apps, but I notice it most with IE as I use it extensively.) When things seem to lock up, EVERYTHING is locked up. I can't even bring up Task Manager, none of the icons in the Task Bar are active, etc. Sometimes I can Tab through other apps that are open, sometimes not, but when I can, the app is "frozen" until whatever is going on finishes. During this time, I can watch the process light (I have a Dell D600 laptop) going nuts. Before and after this event, I have run the system through the latest updates of utilities such as Ad-Aware Plus, Ad-Watch, PestPatrol, Symantec Antivirus, Ace Utilities, RegSeeker, etc., and none of them sends up a flag that anything is wrong.
My machine is always up-to-date via Windows Update feature, so I don't know what is causing this. I had the bright idea to reinstall XP SP2, but can't. Every time I try, it quits, giving me nothing more than a smal window with a red X in it and the notification that the install has been cancelled. I ordered the free XPSP2 CD just to see if that would make any difference, but I get the same error. I suspect I could attempt a slipstream install, but I don't want to go through all that if anyone out there recognizes this problem and knows what the solution is outside of doing a slipstream reinstall of SP2. Finally, I have several times done System Restores going back as far as I can, but while they have been successful (although I usually have to do the restore in Safe Mode as they will often fail otherwise), it has made no difference related to this problem.
I am connected to the internet on a t1 line at work.I go on the internet & everything is fine.After a few minutes it quits on me.I get the message "page cannot be displayed"I have to reboot to get going again.
I believe it must be a problem i have with the internet. Every time i connect it seems to work fine for a few minutes then cuts off. IT takes approx a few minutes for it to start working again. It is anyone guess how long it works for before the same thing happens again. This is getting very frustrating now and i don't know what to do.I have 1GB of RAM, 160GB HD and a Pentium 4 Processor.
My internet connection is being blocked after roughly 15 mins, so i have to restart or disconnect to get it back, upon reconnecting another 15 mins pass and it does it again. I'm running zone alarm free firewall, avg anti virus and ad ware filter. i know i can do something with win sock but im don't know how to do it.
I use a licensed WIN XP Home and am wondering why it takes about two minutes after my wallpaper and icons appear before I can connect to my dsl provider? While waiting for those two minutes, the cursor remains as an hourglass and until I am able to connect to the internet. If I try to connect to the Internet or double click any icon during those two minutes, nothing happens. I do use Zone Alarm with the security settings set to high as well as the Windows firewall enabled.
My computer won't let me use the system restore function.It won't let me run or install programs.And if I try to a small black window pops up for a second than goes away.If I connect my computer to the internet a message pops up two minutes at the most later saying that windows has suffered a huge error or something and needs to shut down.And in the message a counter goes down from forty second than my computer restarts.That only happens if the internet is connected.
When I turn on the HP laptop, I see the IVENT logo, then the screen goes dark for 30 minutes, then boots completely to reveal Windows XP. I can use the cd/dvd drive but cannot connect to the internet. There is a warranty, but Best Buy advises there are no hardware issues. They said re-loading Windows would fix the problem. I have performed all the restore and windows trouble shooting start-up fixes and those do not work. However, under device manager, the 1394 adapter "has a problem" and there are yellow ? under Ethernet controller, Multimedia Audio controller, Network Controller, PCI Device, PCI Modem, Video Controller and Video Controller (VGA Compatible)and an exclamation pt under SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller.
I have 3 Windows computers. One of those Windows XP computers looses internet every few minutes. Itdisconnects and then reconnects in seconds. Any ideas?
my computer take about 10 minutes to load. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the user screen, and another 5 from there. This computer uaully would boot in around 1 min.
After installing a Netgear router whenever my computer comes out of hibernation, I can't get into the internet until I reboot. Lately I get the "cannot display this page" message while going from one site to another. Is it possible the problem is with Internet Explorer and its interaction with the router? Is there any reason why I can't have both IE and Netscape on my computer - just to see if Navigator works better? I'm using XP.
I used the purple reboot cd from my dell laptop to reboot my dell dimension 4600. Everything went well at first. But now I cannot connect to the internet, and my graphics card is not recognized. Under device manager there is a, 1394 net adapter, under network adapters. But here is a list of the ones that have a yellow exclamation mark next to them,Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Simple Communication, SM Bus Controller, and Video Controller.
my cable is not working properly.Every 15-20 minutes my internet connection is broken even though the modem is online and there is no problem with the cable coming into my house. I have to reset the cable modem and then it works for another 10-20 minutes until the next cut. Ive had this problem before (last time i changed computers) but cant remember how it was resolved. I already talked to my ISP support but these guys are brain damaged or something and cannot even comprehend my problem and all 3 actually concluded that i had somehow contracted some killer virus immediately after connecting my computer and this virus was the root of my problems
My computer keeps losing internet connection everytime i reboot. It also changed the theme from Windows XP to Windows classic. The programs have been running extremely slow. I have tried to search for solutions but I can't find any.
Grr, this is why i hate reformatting and reinstalling an OS. My last one never had any problems with it - it had four years of active reliable service under its belt. This new one however has constant bugs.
Anyway, almost always when i boot the computer to windows, and then try to connect to the internet, i'm faced with a connect-to screen with the username and password fields completely blank. Then when i fill in said fields and click Connect i get the following error "cannot delete saved password. Error 711 : a configuration error on this computer is preventing this connection". I get that twice followed by a third stating "cannot connect the phonebook entry"
It's very strange as it only started happening recently. And not consistently either, sometimes i can reboot and i'll not get the problem, such as now. It took me 20 minutes of rebooting thismorning before i got lucky. And the chance of my booting and not getting the problem seems to be getting less likely.
This appears to be a very uncommon problem, i've googled it quite a bit and found next to nothing, or solutions that didn't apply to my circumstances.
I also tried to create another connection to see if i could get around the problem that way but upon completion of the wizard i received the following error "Unable to create the specified connection. This can be caused by insufficient memory or disk space".
windows xp. when i go on an online course sometimes but not all the time the cpu will run at 100%. I have had a look in task manager and under process(es) under cpu it tells me that runa5w32.exe is running at 100%........this will last for 10 minutes or so then it will drop to a normal 5%, where i can then carry on with my course with out any problems. this also happens alot when i even start the computer up, when i am just on the desk top it will run at 100% for 10 minutes or so, and that come's down to svchost.exe
I have 3 svchost.exe.....1 svchost .exe network service.....and 1 local service. AS i say this doe's not happen every time but it can be a pain some times as i carn't do much with either off these when one of them is running at 100%. just thought i would post to see if there is anything i could do.
About every five minutes or so we get a pop up for our hp 1300 all in one. The main box pop up is as if we just installed new software for a printer, which of course we have not, and then a box pops up that has 1300 trb in the header and then says windows is configuring, and then another box pops up that says 1300 help in the header and then says it is also configuring. Nothing will print and we have one doc in que that we cannot cancel.
After Windows installed, the hardisk keep working for about 5 minutes.For those first 5 minutes, the computer is very slow and after that thing become OK. 1- Is this normal.
Im running Windows XP. I've encountered an extremely frustrating problem. My computer takes several minutes, sometimes a half hour, to do ANYTHING except open My Computer and the Explorer. Now I've looked at several posts on this site and I've tried things like CCleaner and Ad-Aware (which pretty much freezes my computer now whenever I turn it on) and neither of these have solved the problem.
Ever since I've had broadband my pc seems to have screwed up. Now if we connect to the internet the startbar freezes for 10 minutes. Even after 10 mins we have to press Crtl+Alt+Delete. I think it may be spyware as the system has slowed down too. I'm using xp home edition.
i recently had to reinstall windows XP. I have all the updates and service packs, but now every time i boot up the computer or bring it out of standby, the windows interface will not allow any new programs or windows to be launched for around 5 minutes, at which point all of the programs i've attempted to launch will all launch at once. This includes task manager, windows explorer and the start menu. This seems to have something to do with my internet connection, because it will work alright until i connect, and as soon as i do it will happen and will freeze up. A few days ago i managed to disconnect and it broke the freeze and everything launched, so i connected again and it seemed fine. Today however when i clicked disconnect, it took five minutes or so to actually cut off.
i'm using Windows XP right now.All i know is that out of the blue when i got back to my computer and the screen was black and had the message in white text in the left hand corner that read something like this "Invalid Disk System.Replace disk and press any key".i tried just pressing any keys but the message just keeps on appearing beneath the previous one.i recently bought an external drive, and my computer was working fine for a few days until now.When my external drive is not plugged to my USB that message doesn't appear. Now every time i use the computer, it would work normally but after every 5 minutes or so it would just restart itself without any warnings.
my PC seems to be having what you would call major issues. Within minutes of logging in, my PC either locks up or restarts itself. This can occur from me either just clicking, trying to open up My Documents, changing my wallpaper, ETC.I have tried to defragment (can't start), system restore (all of my points were deleted somehow), AdAware (error message upon click), McAfee (refuses to load after the logo pops up), using msconfig to remove the startup programs to determine if any of them are the cause (helps just a tad, but so far, the problems persist).I can't access HijackThis because, even if if I COULD open it, going into Chrome, IExplorer or Firefox would just cause the PC to crash or lock up.I need an answer soon. I have just started school, and I need to use my PC. I have also just spent $140 to upgrade it so I can play Warhammer Online and The Witcher.
We have a domain setup in Winserver2003 and they are about 20 users running WindowsXP. For the past of couple of days, users have been complaining of slow login lasting of about 5-10 minutes. Clients are pointing to DNS.
Well its Windows x64, but that shouldn't make much of a difference... right? Erk. :?
Anyway, i boot into the install enviroment and go through the usual fluff to get the os loading, and XP tells me it is at the "Preparing Installation" phase, and is "Installing Devices" with 34 minutes to go.
Now this is NOT 34 minutes. It's not going anywher. It's not frozen exactly, i still have mouse control, can shift + F10 into cmd etc, but the install just isn't moving along :
Please help. Again, the usual beer to the problem solver
I need your help. My EpoX motherboard sent me a new replacement MoBo. I've assembled and returned everything and including my old BIOS setting. PC bootup win-xp ok BUT it will not run continuously because hard drive LED stop. All program just stop functioning after few minute of running. Cold boot has no effect except to Reset and always did checking files on all drives. I deleted one Trojan Horse virus on popup warning BUT couldn't completely scan the whole hard drive because AV program stop also. I also tried in Safe Mode to clean-up AV, Spyware & Malware BUT not successful because it stop also.
