8 boot Windows T420s freezing!

Okay, so I loaded windows 8 on my T420slaptop about a week ago. Before I loaded it I had problems with windows 8. I had to change the format of my hard drive just to load windows 8. Now that it's on my laptop for a week, it sometimes freezes at startup, circles in the splash screen that is to stop at two spots or 4, then there's just frozen until I turned off my laptop. He did it more often, and now it does not even start. Is there something wrong with the Tests and Windows 8 config?

I fixed it my fact resetting of Windows 8. Wonder how much time will it work for. Thanks if.

  • Windows 7 freezes in Normal Mode.

    Hello! I use my Dell Inspiron 17R about 2 months ago and this is a fantastic phone, I use it mainly for video games, music and Movies/TV shows and he ran without fault far.

    Yesterday, however, the problems began to occur. I could boot up the laptop as usual and access the Internet, play games, watch movies etc, but after about 5 minutes everything would suddenly become unresponsive. Both my mouse and trackpad do not allow me to click at all, however I could move the mouse around the screen quite well. The keyboard would not work also - I tried to open the Task Manager via Ctrl + Alt + Del but also closing windows with Alt + F4 or by train at the stop via the Windows key and nothing would work. Instead, the cursor would change to the "loading" symbol and it would pretty much just doing nothing.
    The first time that this happened, I was browsing the Internet and it comes if is stuck on "Waiting for Cache" or something so that probability, I then noticed the circle of rotation which shows a page loading also stopped and was then forced to manually restart because I couldn't even click on the Windows button. Another test I tried watching a video uploaded - it literally just stopped playing about 4 minutes. The screen is just stopped on a single image even if the pause button had not been pressed - try clicking on what anyone did not work (as usual).
    I tried to restart it several times (I unfortunately had to use the power button) and he began to repeat each time. It would work for a few minutes before freezing completely (less opportunity to unnecessarily move the mouse around the screen). Sometimes a pop-up window would be above the bar saying that stains the 'Microsoft Windows application became unresponsive. Sometimes the taskbar then disappear and the laptop would be closed, but the end result is always the same.
    I found that the same problem moved with the boot safe mode with networking, however there were a few noticeable slowdown. I downloaded and used many anti-viruses/malware to analyze my machine and I'm almost certain that there is nothing of the those on the computer (although in fairness, the scans have been so slow I could do before giving up only to about 20% on each). Other solutions, I tried included:
    1. manually end tasks of high memory use via the Manager of
    2. with the help of CCleaner for fix my registry in Mode safe
    3. left the laptop shut down during the night in hope it would just set
    4 disconnected everything from the laptop ports
    5. rebooted via the reboot, shutdown and power buttons
    I'm sure I tried other things as well, but I am quite limited in the fact that I can use the laptop for a few minutes before he decided to stop working. I really need the laptop for my studies and I would be absolutely in love if one of you could help me solve my problem.
    Thanks in advance!

    Original title: error: after about 5 minutes of work after booting, Windows 7 freezes completely

    Hi JordanRidehalgh,

     

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you have a problem with Windows 7 gel. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team to get this number fixed.

     

    We start with a few questions-

    (1) that you get an error message or error code?

    (2) did you install hardware or software on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

     

    Method 1-

    I wish that you run anti-virus in Mode safe mode with networking using different antivirus software.

    In addition, I'd download (download and install in Normal Mode) and execution (in Safe Mode) the online scanner.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The antivirus will try to repair bad sectors on the hard drive damaged by viruses. All the data on these sectors may be lost.

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Make sure you get the computer back to Normal Mode after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

    Method 2-

    It is possible that a third-party application is causing the problem as the computer worked well in Mode without failure.

     

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: You must follow the step 3 of the article to return the computer to a Normal startup after you perform all the troubleshooting steps.

     

    Check if the problem persists.

     

    Method 3-

    I would have you look at the article-

  • Why windows live mail gives me the error code 80048820 0 x if I boot windows before establishing my broadband connection?

    I have recently upgraded to windows 7 with a flash drive.  Windows starts now in 30 seconds - which is a lot less time that it takes my router broadband (wired connection to my PC) to start and establish an internet connection.

    If I switch both on the freezer, boot windows right now, Windows Live Mail will not download my emails from Hotmail, it gives me the error message I pasted below.  It will not work until I have restart windows.
    If I wait until my router is initialized and has established a connection, then on windows startup, the emails work fine.
    If I have the error and then restart, then I can check my emails OK.
    It seems that if windows 7 can not detect an active internet connection when it starts, it initiates this error...
    Any ideas?
    Can't send or receive messages for the Hotmail account (Whitling2k).

    Server error: 0 x 80048820
    Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0 x 80048820

    Your DHCP server on your router is.  It assigns addresses on your local network.  It must be up and current run when you start Windows or your PC will not get a valid IP address.

  • Windows 7 freezes and unresponsive

    A few days ago did this start happening, but my laptop freezes and nothing works.  I can't open the windows, all my open windows have the title [name of program] is not responding.  CTRL Alt Delete sent it to me to a page saying:

    "Task manager has failed to operate, and if you feel this once again, then your operating system can be unresponsive."

    Or something similar to this.

    Return to normal, the only way is to press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on.  It happens all the time now, but I've had this laptop for a few years, and it did not before.  I had to reformat the computer twice recently, due to a virus which plays audio sounds random and commercial without my intervention.  One of these wipes was right this morning, so if you ask my logs, they will be completely empty.  It comes to the computer:

    http://support.gateway.com/s/notebook/2010/gateway/NV/NV55C/nv55cnv.shtml

    If anyone knows what the problem is or how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it if they responded.

    Thank you

  • Desktop Windows 7 freezes.

    I recently updated my card motherboard and CPU. Went from Intel Core2Duo to AMD FX 6 core and motherboard went from Foxconn to an MSI a not sure about the particular model but both were on the card. I had to do a complete fresh re-install of Windows 7 Home 64 bit just to get the pc to boot. I first noticed the problem whenever I plugged my speakers sound on Board decision-making. I thought that it could be a conflict with my mouse because as soon as I plugged it it it would freeze upwards. I went on the installation disc motherboard and ensured that all drivers have been installed correctly. I then plugged my speakers back in and it worked fine. Now it hangs just periodically when I am downloading and trying to use google chrome

  • Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

    Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

    I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

    Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

    A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

    No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

  • Re: Tecra S11 - Dual boot Windows 7 and XP

    I installed Windows 7 (from the hidden to the hardrive recovery section) on my new Tecra S11. I would like to know if I can use the Windows XP
    recovery media provided by Toshiba to create a dual boot Windows 7/Windows XP rather than go back to XP?

    Hi dualboot.

    As far as I know it of not possible to create a dual boot with XP and Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk. The problem is that the recovery disk erases the entire HARD disk, so there is no option to create a dual boot with another operating system.

    If you want XP too you need to a normal XP installation disk Microsoft or you use virtualization of Windows 7 XP mode, if some n t applications run on Windows 7. ;)

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

    Tile: CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

    Hello everyone.  My computer is adjustable having the dual boot with Windows 7 Pro on disk 0 (320 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.11) and XP Pro disk 1 (40 GB SATA Samsung SP0411C). As the two systems are available at the start but most all the time Windows 7 Pro would use. The computer is Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 3 GB of ram, Council ch h 0968, bios HP 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004, chip Intel 915 G Express.  According to the website of Seagate Barracuda 320 GB with (quote), ' he not there no master/slave because every player relationship is considered to be a master in a relationship from point to point.» If two drives are connected to a Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system considers that the two devices as if they were the two "masters" on two ports separated. Both drives behave as if they were device 0 (master) devices.  On the drive Samsung (SP0411C) I put a jumper for master, it is connected to the motherboard instead of disk 1. Used rider illustrated for Samsung SP0411N since I did not see the SP0411C listed. When selecting information for Samsung Seagate site sometimes showed data for their readers. This is perhaps due to the recent acquisition of Samsung or maybe my mistake.  Tried swapping around wiring of each drive but that didn't work of course. Looked at the settings in the BIOS but did not see a way to create the dual boot.  Please let me know if you need more information. If you know how this can be done or have some suggestions, please let me hear it. As always, thank you very much for your comments.

    Oscar

    Hello oscarmint, I checked the specifications of your system and it does not show the system supports two types of hard drives.

    The system supports only Serial ATA (Sata) synchronous Maximum 150 MB/s transfer rate

    You would need to make the jumper on the Seagate 320 GB Sata Drive pin, set at 150 MB/s.

    You are right that the Seagate would not Cable Select or slave settings and it would be the master and only on cable.

    If the 40 GB hard drive is a type of ATA (IDE), you'd better put as selection of cables (CS).

  • Windows XP freezes

    Windows XP freezes especially when I'm playing. I get weird color lines on the screen and it continues to repeat last sound... Sometimes, it repairs itself after a wait of 5 to 10 seconds. I don't know what to do. Should I reinstall my Windows?

    Your system is too dependent on using the swap file. Adding RAM can help. Your graphics card can also be insufficient for what you are asking to do.

    With any program, you should be aware of what the minimum requirements are? In reality, it is quite common to see the minimum requirements that are undervalued. So for your game the minimum RAM is 1 GB. However, I imagine to see satisfactory performance you want much more.

    Graphics cards are also an important factor with games, as this type of game depends greatly on the Visual effects for the impact and generate excitement. I don't know enough about the graphic cards and Game Advisor record to highlight that he must investigate these before you load a game on your computer and wait for it to run properly.

  • Why my windows keep freezing?

    Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.
