Hp Pavilion A600n / Computer Freezes Up And I Have To Restart
Nov 15, 2006
I have the exact same system yet my problem is a little trickier.The computer works fine. I purchased an installed a wireless PCI card.When I enable this card to connect to my wireless network, I have about 60-90 secs before the computer freezes up and I have to restart. I tried numerous PCI slots on the motherboard and they all lead the computer to crash. I have no idea what an explanation for this could be but I am assuming that perhaps the RAM they have installed (the stock 512 mb) is insufficient.

Have a hp Pavilion 4600ze. Nice laptop and running Windows XP. Have always (almost always) had the situation that if choose restart it will log out and go to black screen and not restart (I'm sure it isn't shutting down). Just sits there and only by powering down can one start back up. I recall finding something on the web to make a change so that Windows XP could be sent through restart OK.

I have a custom box and an old gateway box. I wanted to transfer all my files from one box to another, so I rammed in the gateway hard drive, copied all files in the root of the drive, and pasted it into a folder on my New desktop. When the file transfer finished, the folder (on the New desktop) disappeared So, I checked the hidden files in explorer.Not there Well, I used the command prompt. Not there either.After a while, I forgot about it, and just recently got a new defrag program (SmartDefrag).

I have inherited an XP machine (HE SP2) that even with the owner acct, always reverts to its previous state. Install an HP printer, upon reboot the printer is history. Same with any software or user customizations.

I have a network at my home with XP Pro. My printer is attached to the router with a print server.this network has worked great till this week. Starting this week, (maybe-- maybe after I downloaded the new security updates) my printer does not print when I command it to. It just freezes, until I restart the computer. When I get the cntl-alt-delete prompt, then the printer kicks in and prints what I commanded. I don't even need to log on.

i started a clean install of xp sp3 from a genuine disc, but after formatting the partition and copying files and restarting, the screen gets stuck and all i get is the cursor blinking furiously. I then tried to install some not-so-genuine copies, but no matter what i use, its the same problem. I tried installing linux and it went fine.

I had been on here a couple of months ago and received excellent assistance on reducing the number of processes I had running (went from 81 down to 46). Now I am back with my new frustrating issue where my computer is running real slow doing any type of command whether it be opening a window and/or tab or minimizing to show only my desktop. I did not see it wise for me to try and trouble shoot in the chance I may just may make things worse so I am back.

I went out of town for 2 weeks, came home and my pc is acting really strange. I've been getting tons of pop-ups, to the point my computer freezes and i must restart. Not only that but it randomly reboots itself even when not being used. Also, when i go to delete files now, the file does NOT go into the recycle bin. I looked at the settings and there is no check mark next to the "do not move files into recycle bin". My BF said he had been downloading things so I figured maybe its a virus or something. I ran Nortons... nothing. Ran AVG... nothing. A friend told me it sounded like spyware so he told me to run Adaware & Spybot. Did that, found a ton of stuff. But when i retarted the pc, it wanted to start in "safe mode". I noticed that most of these pop ups are (search miracle ??) Found info that its a trojan, but i dont know. . I dont know what to do, totally computer illiterate.

I had SP1 in my laptop. So, I updated to SP2 and now XP loading screen shows up and 10 seconds later it goes blank. The machine then proceeds to reboot itself. Also, safe mode does not work.

Im extremely frustrated, computer keeps freezing not sure why. The freezing occurs randomly sometimes it occurs just after startup while other times i can play a game for a few hours before it freezes. Ive been in a repair shop a couple times and they havent solved the problem despite replacing the mother board and power supply. They also reformated the computer and still get the freezing problem. Also when it freezes i turn the power switch off on the back and then i get a noise from the speakers that sounds like someone tapping on a the desk. How can i discover the problem?

My computer restarts at random times: Sometimes when I'm playing a game, sometimes when I'm surfing the web, and sometimes right when it has been previously restarted. I haven't a clue what the problem could be.

My computer keeps restarting after me being on it for around 5 mintues, sometimes less, sometimes I can go for about 30 minutes before it restarts. I have tried my virus scan and adaware but it will not go through because it restarts constantly. It was missing some file I can not remember what it was. Also the last time it restarted I got these errors. Error Loading Language Resource DLL (na EvtRes.dll) and Runtime Error

We have XP running on an AOpen model computer. It's an Intel Pentium 4 with 1 GB of RAM and a Radeon X700 series video card. We've been having some trouble these past few days with the computer just randomly restarting for no reason. At first my father was having the trouble, but I didn't believe him. So I decided to sit down a little while ago to confirm what he told me.He initially told me the restart happened as he was burning a CD, but then after a restart he burnt like four of them in a row with no difficulty. So then he said it has occured while playing music. So I tested it out, played a song on Windows Media Player, and then tried to play a second one. Boom, instant restart.Now, as I said I was looking elsewhere. I do have the "auto restart" thing disabled, and I do not get a blue screen of death. As for cleaning the computer? Way ahead of you on that one. Prior to me sitting down to test the music thing, I unplugged everything in my computer and opened it up.

it will shut off and restart itself. He claims that this has been happening close to when he received it. We had no real proof of it restarting until last night when he was actually using it and it restarted before his eyes. He is running Windows XP MCE 2005.

I'm using Windows XP Sp2 and when I restarted my computer I could not open up any program even windows programs like control panal or even solitaire. The hour glass just shows up on the screen and then goes away without anything opening. I tried a system restore by my computer will not let me restart except a hard restart and then the System restore errors out because of the hard restart. Im not sure if this is a windows problem or a virus problem. I have stopzilla and spy bot as well as adaware.
