My computer has the so called hiccups. When I try to run something graphically, it will beep very softly and stall up then run fine, then beep and stall etc. I have no idea what triggered this insanity, but its gotten to the point where it will do it at random times even when i try to scroll, and it has done it during start up

That is if I try to do a 180 turn in game with a whip motion I get a stall, or if I scroll from the top right X button in FireFox to the Start menu too fast I also get a stall. Wiggle the mouse, stall, do anything other than smooth very slow and linear movements and I get a stall.This problem happens with all of the mice I own; 2 different types of Logitech mice, and a pos Creative. The Logitech Optical Mouse I own is totally brand new out of the box and still gets this issue.I've tried installing individual MouseWare drivers for each of the Logitech mice and the problem still has not been solved.I've tried putting all the mice in all the various ports they support, usb, and p2 whatever im computer ignorant.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy PC seems to be in a 2 minute beep pattern. After the beep I generally lose my mouse for a couple of seconds. I can live with the noise, I can't live with disruption.
I've rebooted and it still beeps. I've turned off the Google desktop, I've uninstalled a stack of applications that should have been gone ages ago. I've even found my 2003 startuplist.exe and run
when i go to turn on my computer, the regular short system beep is longer and then nothing happens, then it beeps again... and so on and so forth. prior to this problem my computer was running pretty unstable, for about 2 days it would reboot whenever it wanted and a couplke times i got a bluescreen message that i dont remember. i didnt write it down cuz im a moron, i have a feeling it has something to do with a surge and the power supply and im hoping i can just get a new better power supply.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use XP Media Center, Avast AV, new computer, and I'm an intermediate user. Yesterday, after rebooting the desktop, start menu and taskbar began flashing with a system beep. What I mean by "flashing" is the taskbar and start button would go off, the system would beep, then they return and do it again and again. It is working right now but I'm lucky for that. I ran a virus scan and spyware scan and my system has been cleaned, defragged and a disk scan has been performed (no negative results). When I boot in Safe Mode, it's ok. I did the elimination process through MSConfig and when the services are stopped, the problem is not apparent. Turn them on, and it's there again. Here is my Hijack report below......
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy brothers computer recently developed a problem, its an old Dell optiplex GX1 500L+ and hes on XP pro
he came home and the monitor was flashing the little lights on the front that indicate it being over range
we tried an older monitor, as well as my own LCD that Im typeing on now, both had the same results, as well as in VGA mode the monitor acts normal up untill the loading windows screen, where it promptly goes blank and begins with the flashing lights but booting into safe Does work and gives us a picture, so I dont think it could be problem a problem with onboard graphics, so Im guessing its a malicious program that is inflicting this problem, unless someone can tell me otherwize does anybody know what would likely be the cause of this, or the best way to trouble shoot it, we already did a Repair installation,that didnt fix anything and I figured Id ask here on the tech forum before proceding to wipe his hard drive, my question on the forum is also a lilttle bit curiosity driven,
I currently have Windows 7 Ultimate (64Bit) installed on the primary hard drive but my question is will Windows XP work ok along with Windows 7 being installed as well like XP being on the same hard drive? Also could someone tell me what the limitations are for XP as I have 4GB RAM (Dual Channel) as I'll be installing the 32Bit of XP.
Also would XP crash at all with the high specs I'm running ? as I've overclocked my processor to 3.52GHz or doesn't the processor play a role in the stability of XP ?
This machine is about 5 months old and has been crashing occasionally the last two weeks after the machine is up and running awhile. I checked the system log and there is nothing leading up to the crash but I do get a crash dump for each one. There is nothing I can pin down as coinciding with the crashes. The vents and fan on side were blocked by a bookcase so I pulled it out in the open. Checked the CPU temp last at 37 deg c. Ran "Memory Diagnostic 1" (from download.com) 4 passes of all the tests were clean - this took about 15 minutes. Ran chkdsk on the Seagate - no bad sectors. I can't tell with chkdsk whether it notifies you when it finds problems. All appeared good there. Did the "auto fix file system errors" but not the search for bad sectors on the external WD Passport. I think I need to analyze the crash dumps but don't know where to start. I hear there's a MS debugger or some such? Haven't looked on MS site yet. Is that where it is?I'm thinking maybe, cpu, memory, psu as possible culprits. Can I rule out the video card? and the hard drives?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy friend was installing Norton and it froze half way thru and she ended up having to restart. When she restarted her computer (with WIN XP HOME EDITION) it loaded fine but now with a new problem. No program will load. I cant load Word, AIM, anything. I tried to do a system restore, but i cant open the program to do that. I cant explore the hard drive because that program wont open. I cant access the control panel either. The only thing that seems to work is IE, which is useless. I got the XP cd and performed a repair, but the problem did not change. I assumed there was something wrong with the registry, but i cant run regedit. Everytime I try to open a program I get a message that says "this file does not have a program associated with it for preforming this action" For some reason, no program will load, yet the computer starts up fine.

I can still use MSN messenger, download, and even surf the web through Microsoft Outlook, but IE is persistent that no pages are avaliable.

I am using WinXP Home with SP2.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirefox is my default browser but I need IE for updates. IE acts like I'm offline. IE won't go online! An additional problem, which is older, is that windows update doesn't recognize my computer as having a valid copy of XP. At least I think that is why they keep saying I need to download a new software for future downloads, yet everytime I try the download fails. I'm up to date to at least the beginning of december 2005, and I'm desperate to download the new critical update.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a computer running XP Pro w/sp2 with a P4 1.8Ghz and 512 mb of pc 2100 memory.I recently did a clean install of the OS. Sometimes when I am running programs the computer will freeze up. The mouse arrow won't move and nothing from keyboard. It is fine surfing the web but will lock up with programs. No error messages come up either. I just have to reboot again to get going.Could this happen if my memory is going bad or something? Everything else seems fine and the OS install went good with no probs.
View 14 Replies View RelatedIn an attempt to use her computer in our apt, she's set it up and tried to boot. Problem is, the computer is going to an error page whenever she boots with the card in place. The specific message is that file ar5200.sys is trying to write to a read-only memory. We then have to shut the system down cold as ctr-alt-del isn't working. So, it's locking up pretty well. With the card not in place, XP is booting fine. We are getting an error code as well, but the computer boots and is working (although running slightly slower). It says system is recovering from a serious error. The error report shows the problem is files in the temp folder? Searching for the specific sys (ar5200.sys) file hasn't given us any help. I just can't seem to find that darn file that's causing the trouble!

In My Computer, the CD drive comes up as "CD Drive (D: )". When I try to drag and drop files in the Windows Explorer window and then click "Burn to CD", it says there is no CD-RW drive. But when I use Nero 5, it works fine.
What is the problem and what do I do to fix it? (I'm not going to reinstall Windows!)

Each click turns the green power light on and then off, on then off, for about 60-90 seconds. When the monitor finally responds and turns on I am at the boot page in Windows. Here is what it says: The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the default settings.
