Cannot run windows 7 64 bit, but the computer is capable.

I ordered the online download of windows 7 64 bit by accident.  My computer is capable of running windows 7 64-bit, however, I'm currently running vista 32 bit.  Is there a way can I return my order online for the 32 bit, or do I have to download the 64-bit version and has two operating systems on my computer?

    just built a computer a week 7 there and installed.  my computer currently has no installed updates.  whenever I try to install updates (one of them) I get the bsod and need to restore several times, computer works fine until I turn it off.

    the screen will change resolution 1280 x 1024 at ~ 600 x 800 for about five seconds then bluescreen when it spoil.
    my initial error code: 100007e.
    0000005,4843518, 3c3c628, 3c3be80.  any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Drivers of suspects, including video, BIOS, drivers ChipSet at low altitude, antivirus and anitspyware/safety programs
    and hardware issues including such as bad sitting cards, memory problems and wiring. Power supply
    is a real possibility. Are the updates of Windows he chokes on driver updates - if so right click on
    These and HIDE?

    When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
    update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

    1000007E and 0000007E are the same

    Cause

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. To interpret it, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0 x 80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.
    • 0 x 80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERTION was met when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.
    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in the directory Inc. of the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the address of the exception) should identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system was launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly, make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Ensure that any new hardware that is installed is listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A chauffeur service or defective peripheral system could be responsible for this error. The hardware problems, such as BIOS incompatibilities, conflicts of memory and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third-party remote control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the service by starting the computer by using the recovery and then Console by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device or driver responsible for control of bug 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or after installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and the system BIOS incompatibilities. For any problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with lack of disk space, reduce the number of files on the hard disk drive target. Search and delete temporary files that you do not have to have, files hidden Internet, application backup files and files saved .chk , which contain fragments of files on disk scans. You can also use an another hard disk drive with more free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

    =====================================================

    This solving generic problems but it should help you resolve the issue however remember them ALL
    This new material is very suspicious.

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

  • file loss or damage after running automatic updates, cannot run windows without having to re - install

    I am currently running Windows vista 64-bit, but I'm unable to allow automatic updates to run because it results in loss/damage/corruption of files.
    It will install everything as usual and reboot the computer, but instead of windows startup, it reports that windows cannot open because there is a missing or damaged file. The pc is not repairable by placing it in a previous restore point or using the at startup repair shop and I find myself having to reinstall VISTA to get the pc working again. Accordingly, Iam unable to install service packs for Vista or other updates to the system because I don't want to reinstall my computer is there a patch or fix for this error?

    J0seph1ne,
    If you have a question whenever you install an update with the loss of corruption\file then it is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive or with and infection.  You can try the tools\links below.  I suggest you then install just a few updates both to seek only possible that poses a problem.

  • Nine computer running Windows 8-2 accidents in the first day

    Hello world

    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated :)
    Yesterday, I bought a new computer running Windows 8. I use the computer mainly for photo editing, so this morning, I installed my copy of Photoshop CS4 on the computer and needed to install an update to the ACR, I downloaded Adobe.
    The first accident occurred that I tried to download the update (Camera Raw 5.7). It is this crash .dmp file - https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B50D32B2D4102B3F! 187 & authkey =! AHogu8RLIx59Nt4&ithint=file%2c.dmp
    After the reboot, I finished the download of the update, installed and made sure Photoshop was working properly, that it was.
    The second incident took place tonight (Photoshop is not running, no download in progress etc..) It is this crash .dmp file - https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B50D32B2D4102B3F! 188 & authkey =! AJ97jn-_skkL03Y&ithint=file%2c.dmp
    Of course, since this is a brand new computer, I don't expect to be planted at this rate. I assume that the installation of Photoshop or the ACR update caused a few problems (even though nothing I've read has suggested that it should).
    Can someone get any light it? Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    You are going through the exact same thing a user treats here - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/windows-8-crashes-after-entering-sleep-mode/b140bccd-29ae-414b-840c-ed5269c26ea0

    The attached files of the DMP are bug check ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (a5) .

    This bug check indicates that the BIOS Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.

    Error checking A5, {1000, 0, 80001000, 25}

    1000 = ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY.

    ACPI has been a fatal error during the processing of a region of memory operation. The region of operation memory tried memory card which has been attributed to the use of the OS.

    This bug check usually appears in these 2 scenarios:

    1 BIOS bug / damaged and must be resolved with an update or go back to the manufacturer.

    2 Rootkit (not very common).

    Given that you have exactly the same problem and the same HP model, etc... It is a big problem on the part of HP. Contact them and let them know that you want to replace as soon as POSSIBLE, preferably if possible a working model.
