  • ThinkPad T61 random BSOD with VISTA SP1

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this Forum.

    The reason why I joined the community is because I'm going to random BSOD followed to stop and restart my T61. It started some time earlier this year when I installed Vista updates with the system update utility. It seems Vista Business SP1 related somehow. Well, I could not solve the problem, I did a clean install of Vista Business SP1 with all up-to-date drivers and software from the Lenovo Site. The problem still remains, and I couldn't find a solution.

    I installed the Windows Debugger tool und just managed to use the tool and get a report (I am inexperienced). Here are the specifications of my ThinkPad and a snapshot of the debug report.

    Any hint is appreciated with the best regards from Switzerland ;-)

    In the meantime, I found the solution to my problem. My ThinkPad T61 is anchored to a mini advanced docking station. When you use four USB ports, the system blocks at random resulting in a BSOD. Since I use only 3 USB ports no BSOD more.

    Take care and have fun with your ThinkPad

  • 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The error is event 6008.

    I have an ACER aspire x 3200 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The only mistakes were event 6008 with a description of the stop system prior to (time) on (date) was not planned.
    When these errors originally occurred, I returned the system to acer and they installed a new hard drive. After updating the vista system blockages continue 30 times over a period of 3 months. Acer sent me a new disk image on 3 disks that I have installed and updated on 11 October. There is no blocking until the 10/27, 10/28, and for the 3rd time today.
    The closed unexpected gives a blue screen if I use the locking system to the top. I have to hold the power to restart when the system crashes.
    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  But I guess it's too late for this for so long that there are probably no so old restore points.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer on the stop (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.  From what I understand, there is none of the events (which surprises me because a freeze should certainly generate an error event).

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work (but you NEED a disc).  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Computer daily and random stops with laptop Vista Ultimate

    I use a laptop Toshiba Qosmio with Vista Ultimate.  The machine stops completely randomly on its own and I have to restart - which can take up to four minutes - I get a message in an unexpected way, the machine closed and restarted in XXXX seconds.

    This morning I got Excel (2007) and Word (2007) open and use my webmail (work and personnel).   I use Internet Explorer.  It is quite frustrating and I don't know where to start to try at the source of how correct the problem or address.  The machine is not quite 3 years and Vista Ultimate came installed on the machine.  I installed the Service Packs 1 and 2 on the machine.  I'm also trying to determine if I should Windows 7 would avoid most of these stop random downs.

    I am open to your ideas and I appreciate your help - I'm not a computer wizzard, so dumb down for me.

    Hello

    Use the sections "BOLD" here to gather information.

    Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.

    I have a pavilion with Vista m9457c.  Recently, it developed a problem in which the mouse or the keyboard you wake the computer from sleep mode more.  I knew that the fan on the video card was bad, so I replaced the video card.  This does not solve the problem.  I did so that the keyboard and mouse could get the computer from sleep mode, but it is still not correct the problem.  If I let the computer to sleep, nothing happens when I move the mouse or press the Crescent Moon on the keyboard.  The screen remains dark.  Then I have to physically press the power button / stop and return to restart the computer.

  • HP Pavilion with Vista, SP2 m9510f keeps freezing upwards

    My HP Pavillion (with Vista, SP2) m9510f started to freeze until a few months previously, apparently at random times. I did all the cleaning of the computer and diagnosis operations I can think, nothing helps. Most of the common time it freezes is when I use Outlook (writing emails, etc), but also when I'm on YouTube. A check on my Windows application event log shows frequent instances of the CAPI2 (same ID 11) error, generally followed the WMI (event ID 10) anywhere between 20 and 50 seconds after the CAPI2 error. This pair of errors still happens when I start the computer, but sometimes also occur just before a freeze. I used the tool of Microsoft 'Fix - It' which should resolve the CAPI2 error, but it made no difference. I also have occasional "SidebySide" errors and mistakes 'Hello Service', as well as system errors 'Bowser '. I'm running out of ideas and hope someone can help me, that these system freeze seem to occur with increasing frequency. Thank you, John.

  • Cannot restore a Pavilion from HP with Vista Home Premium a1520e

    Try to restore an HP Pavilion a1520e with Vista Home Premium using the recovery disks that came with it. Cooldown increased to 99%, then stops with a message "Error 002" ridiculous. Tried the 2nd HDD, reset the BIOS, 2nd set of disks, H/p unable to fix without sending any box and pay more than it is worth. I have all receipts and simply want a legitimate o/s that I can restore.

    Hello

    The problem is not with Windows, it's a hardware error OR you do not have the right Vista HP OEM
    installation media.

    1. check that the disks you have are correct for this model of CV. HP can sell you cheap the
    installation media real cheap since you already own windows.

    2. Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (at both ends, where this is possible)-in fact
    delete and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and make sure that the vents are clear.

    By chance the need to re - install caused by malware?

    Hope this helps and happy holidays.

  • Keep HP with Vista 64 bit programs to clean install Win7

    My HP pavilion m9400t was bought a year ago and failed to qualify not free upgrade.  In any case, I think I will try to Win 7.  I'm gathering that I need to do a clean install.  How to save all the extra HP provided software installed with Vista (Hardware diagnosis Tools, HP Advisor, HP Support info, Lightscribe, Cyberlink DVD suite, etc.).  I use these programs regularly and want to be able to install on Windows 7.  How to save each of them?

    If this is the case, and I lose all the extra software HP... is there a way to record programs on a DVD and the re - install after a clean installed Win7?

    Where can I find these files?

    OR conversly, if I make a superposition of Win7 on vista installation, be fine or will it be buggy?

  • Portege R400: Very slow Performance with Vista Ultimate

    Hi all

    Portege R400 is delivered with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition and Vista is really - honestly - incredibly slow! (especially with R400, due to the configuration of the laptop)
    So I decided to install Windows XP Tablet PC... But I discovered that there is no driver available for R400 XP.

    I'm not directly complaining on the Portege models/series...
    It's a great design and I bought it, knowing the configuration. But I didn't know how Vista was eager for system resources...

    I complain on Toshiba policy or what-so-ever ONLY to the Vista and not XP drivers.
    Microsoft is desperately trying to sell Vista because they know, they really don't have this time and I heard stories about how they block their own market XP.

    .. .and I think that Microsoft and Toshiba can have an agreement on "selling only computers laptop Vista..." (just a guess but it seems so... correct me if I'm wrong)

    It is a torture to use Vista on Portege R400 and other equivalent configurations. (even when all the Visual effects system, disabled etc.)
    On the other hand, I can't use my XP on R400 tablet... so...

    So, trust me when I say I'm going to throw it away!
    But before doing this, if anyone of you knows a solution to my problem. Please let me know,
    because I paid a lot of money for this turtle.

    concerning

    PS: I hope that this is a democratic platform and my post not be erased or changed.

    Hello

    First of all, you don't have to suspect Microsoft or Toshiba has an agreement with Vista. Toshiba isn't the only primary selling units with just a VIsta operating system, almost every laptop to the manufacturer it.
    And you're right, Vista is a slow operating system, because it has a new UI with lots of graphic effects here and there and many features like the sidebar, you have really not at all.

    Since I bought my first one Vista laptop at the beginning of the year, I thought, as I don't want to not be installed and want my XP back and so on and there was no available to manufacturers of XP drivers download page either. I have a Toshiba laptop no and had the same frustration as you.

    Now, I had two options, check every important feature on my own via google or using tools such as engineering pilot or pimp my Vista driver installation.
    Firstly I did an installation of XP, all drivers to research, I need, who did not take my as much as I thought it would be. But after a while, I wanted to give the new Microsoft OS a chance.

    Used disk recovery and first wiped all the software I didn't need, so goodbye almost every tool installed on my machine, which was not unique to microsoft.
    Disabled many features, that I didn't want and I can say, speed increased a lot! This brought my buy an original version of Vista, made a new installation, installed all the drivers necessary, and hey, I'm happy with it.

    Thus, ended with my story, you have two options now. Search XP drivers on your own, using the tools and google or tweak your Vista. There are many guides on the internet that can help you.

    And do not be angry with Toshiba, as it's the same problem with other manufacturers too, as you can see in my case.

  • Safely remove the device with VISTA is not infallible

    I have a HP Pavilion Slimline nine running Vista.

    I plug a USB key or an external hard drive and it reads very well.

    I have try the safely eject button, and the light on my memory stick stays on. With XP, it came out, and I knew that I could remove the stick. It goes the same for my external hard drive... Done, I could hear that he stop and watch out slight shift when I used the feature of MATERIAL in any SAFETY REMOVE (SRH) of XP.

    Not the case with VISTA. After completing the SRH steps, these devices always seem to be on.

    I read that Vista not turn off light after things are ejected... is - it true?
    Any suggestions?

    Are there any patches or downloadable patches?

    Hello walden1,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    The only time where SRH did not finish is when there is an application or a service that is always access the drive somehow.  I fyou're sure there is no transfer, then you can disconnect with the safety of the food.  themajin concern is when access to the data or transfer is underway.

    -J' read that Vista not turn off light after things are ejected... is - it true?
    It has been my experience that it's false.  Once ejected, using SRH or not the light turns off and the player is uninstalled.  Now, if you use memory for ready boost of course light remains lit and SRH still not eject it.  So maybe it's somehting that you'll want to check.  If your right click the drive in the Solution Explorer, then select properties the last tab should be the tab ready boost and you can switch if and how much of the training will be used for this.

    Thank you
    Jonathan

  • Office 2003 Pro with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    Office seems to work very well on my new desktop Quad core i7, Vista Home Premium 64-bit - except when I try to access clip art in Powerpoint, or any help function - it simply blocks the request. Machine not crushed, but I have to END TASK - and I said this in Excel and Powerpoint three times each. But all the normal functions of work. What is the problem?

    These links are useless - I already searched the corner OFFICE, and here, no one seems ready to post or admit that there could be a problem with VISTA at all. That's why I posted my question here, thinking that the problem is probably with the 64-bit version of Vista.

    "These links are of no use."

    These Office discussion groups have a very good record, with a lot of dedicated people who help for FREE.

    It is the Forum for Windows Vista update you send images ClipArt for PowerPoint questions in!

    You have received correct newsgroups to questions from the post Office on your Office applications.

    If you can't be bothered, post your question here and waiting for a response, that's your prerogative. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
