• Computer hangs during playback of streaming online videos

  Dear friends,

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, Core i3, OS Windows Ultimate 64 bit processor.

  I have a weird problem for two days. Instantly, my computer hangs when I play a video (like YouTube) online on any browser elsewhere (IE/Firefox, Chrome). And sometimes only the parts sound without the video, but that is only for a moment before it crashes.

  I tried most of the common fixes as updated drivers, video card, reinstall Adobe Flash Player, uninstall applications useless, but nothing worked so far.

  I'm really frustrated by this and can not think of a solution. Please help me with this. Thank you for your time.

  Kind regards
  SA

  Hello Syed_Asif

  Try these steps and check if the YouTube video freezes between steps, so we can say that it has helped solve the problem.

  Step 1:
  I understand that you have updated your drivers, but I suggest you go to Device Manager, located in your video card. Uninstall the driver, download the latest version of the driver and reinstall it.

  Step 2:
  Clear your "cache" of all the 'temporary internet files', 'cookies '.
  and 'history '. If you are using Internet Explorer, perform the following steps:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/260897

  Step 3:
  Run SFC/scannow to see if you have corrupted system files.
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Restart your system

  Step 4:

  Run the chkdsk command: (you can do this step at night because depending on the size of your drive, it may take some time to complete.
  1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
  4. check your hard disk for errors:
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Step 5:
  Defragment you the system
  To defragment your hard drive

  1. Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the start . In the search box, type and then Disk Defragmenter in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.

  2. Under the current state, select the disk to defragment.

  3. To determine whether the disk should be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of disk fragmentation in the column was last run. If the number is greater than 10%, you must defragment the drive.

  4. Click on defragment disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Disk Defragmenter may take a few minutes to a few hours at the end, depending on the size and the degree of fragmentation of your hard drive. You can still use your computer during the defragmentation process.

• Computer hangs during the transfer of 16 jpeg files.

  Recently, I replaced my Toshiba Satellite M40 PATA hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP SP3.  Subsequently, I find transfer more than 16 jpeg files (approx. 1 MB each) at the same time causes the computer freezes.  I have to shut down the computer and restart and sometimes the computer is 'always' Hung/frozen after restarting Windows (mouse move no keys, ctrl + alt + delete work does produce no action) which necessitated my stop down and restart the computer again.

  This problem occurs during various methods of transfer-to transfer pictures from my card SD using the scanner and camera or Nikon transfer software, trying to copy and paste pictures from the SD in an empty folder, and the problem occurs even when I try to spend more than 16 images from a folder in another.  I tried to transfer images from a folder with the computer in safe mode and the problem occurs when I try to transfer a little more than 16 images at once.  (my SD card, has about 60 images on that.)  There is no error message or any other message - the computer simply crashes.

  I did not have this problem before reinstalling XP.  There seems to be no limit to the size of the transfer that I could perform. I can't wait to find out how I can remedy this problem.  I am familiar with writing code, check the registry, etc, but I'm good enough following the simple procedures.  Thank you for your help.

• HP Pavilion p6-2069sc: computer hangs during the HP splash screen

  Hello.

  I plug an ASUS GeForce GTX STRIX 750Ti to use in my Pavilion P6 - 2069sc, but when I start the computer after installing my GPU, the screen hangs on the blue HP startup screen.

  When I try to hit the ESC key to enter the BIOS or any other keys it comes just a beep of the machine.

  It is a long beep every 20 seconds or so from the computer.

  When I use the integrated graphics card, everything works as they should.

  I already upgraded to 550W 300W POWER supply

  Because your computer has been manufacturer Sept 2011, there Legacy BIOS.  The latest vBIOS UEFI was initiated at the HP units at end of 2012.  That said, either you stay with a Legacy BIOS GPU card, or choose a dual hybrid card BIOS.  The GTX 660, or GTX 670, all of which are two high-end of the legacy card would be far superior to the GTX 750Ti.   All the current hype is looking for a lower quality card, the 750Ti, based on the more low power and some GTX offering a BIOS hybrid via Select manufacturer. The Asus could not be hybrids, as you can testify.

  http://www.hwcompare.com/17301/GeForce-GTX-660-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-TI/ 450W SS6

  http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-GTX-660/specifications

  Based on your existing new POWER Pack, (hopefully a quality unit), 660 GTX would be good.  In my humble OPINION, an EVGA GTX 660 is better based on your power supply of the system. Please call EVGA for re - check a Legacy BIOS.

  PS I have a EVGA GTX 660 and 670 in my BIOS Legacy of <>towers.  I tried an ASUS, but he did not have an ASUS motherboard. Strange, but ASUS check the fault has his own card. Cost me $50 return shipping cost, so Please check with any manufcacturer.

• HP Pavilion 23: computer hangs during the boot process

  Computer updates been made 2 days ago and has frozen black screen. Now does not start at the top. Starts the process and then freezes. He did start once yesterday and was going well for a few hours, then got a message saying computer had a problem.

  Error message:

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (atikmdag.sys)

  Now back to not start upward again, hangs with the HP logo on the screen.

  Hi there @ldgie25.

  That the Forums are with you!  I understand that, after a few updates, your computer does not start correctly and freezes on the HP logo.   I'm happy to help you with this.

  Since it was started once, but then had a blue error screen, I suggest using the computers HP - use Microsoft System Restore (Windows, 10, 8).   Follow the instructions in the section «restore your computer when Windows is unable to boot normally»  See if it will start normally after the restoration. If yes then you probably want to prevent the offending update to install again.

  Please see the following for how to do this:

  How to temporarily prevent an update for driver reinstallation of Windows 10 - support.microsoft.com

  Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• HP Pavilion HPE h9-1100 Phoen: computer hangs during startup after installation of 970 GTX

  The problem:

  So here's the deal. I bought a new EVGA GTX 970 and installed in my office (after you have uninstalled the drivers for my old AMD GPU). When that I start it freezes on the BIOS screen. Press a button and the screen goes black; It is still frozen. Fan works in beast mode, until I turn it off.

  What I tried:

  • I checked for if sure it was well installed in the x 16 PCIE slot and connectors double checked.
  • Checked to see if my motherboard supports UEFI (it does)
  • Using another monitor using vga instead of as before display port.
  • EVGA called and suggested they updated my BIOS on HP site (I think I'm already on the latest version)?
  • Called HP and they said I have spend $250 to have a technician to work on it. (I'd rather not pay nearly as much as I paid for the card to install it if I can avoid...)
  • Remove the battery on the motherboard for 5 minutes then replace and powered with the new graphics card.

  None of these things had No effect. (with the exception of the money payer which I have not yet made). I put the old card (Radeon 7670) back in and it started late.

  I'm kind of grasping at straws at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Model: h9-1100 (A5U16AV #ABA)

  OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

  Motherboard: Gigabyte 2AC8 (970 (RX980) + SB950 chipset AMD)

  Processor: AMD FX-8150 (3600,0 MHz)

  BIOS: Ang_716 (05/04/2012)

  I would like to know if there is relevant information, that I left out.

  -edit

  I tried to install the card in HP h9 1300 t friend (he also recently installed the same card) it worked fine, if the card is not defective. Then we installed his gtx 970 in my computer. Same results as before. Startup freezes on the bios screen.

  Sure that I narrowed down it to a compatibility problem with my motherboard. I ordered a new one, the ASRock 970 M Pro3 AM3 + / AM3 AMD 970 + AMD SB950 6 x SATA 6 Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard (bite). I'll post here once again with results once it arrives here in a few days. I cross my fingers.

  Hello

  The level of the BIOS of your PC is not compatible with the video BIOS in the NVIDIA GTX 970.   You need a BIOS to version 8 HP which is not displayed for your PC.

  BTW - A replacement of the card mother not HP will require a new license of Windows.

• Computer hangs during the update of Windows 8

  My laptop recently posted a message saying that he would automatically restart in 15 minutes to install a Windows Update.  After 15 minutes, it restarts and a screen will appear that says "Configuring Windows updates.  Do not turn off your computer. "He started to install, then stalled to the point 13%.  I rebooted several times, and it keeps the timing at this point.  I can't go past this screen for something else, so I have no use of the computer right now.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?  Thank you.

  Hi Rebannle,

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  This problem may be caused for the following reasons:

  Conflicts of hardware/software.

  System files are corrupt.

  You can see the steps from the following thread that was answered by MikeSimmonsUK on November 7, 2012, that will help us solve the problem.

  Windows 8 updates stuck at 13%. (NOTE: laptop HP - audio drivers)

  If the problem persists, you can also see the steps in the following Microsoft article: Windows Update crashes when installing updates in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

  Notes:

  When you perform the System Restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  When running at Refresh: the applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

  Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

• The computer hangs during the communication via a serial port

  I developed a code in LabVIEW 2011 to connect with the XY stage. It's actually two steps mounted perpendicularly. The installer of the system is that a (made by the same manufacturer as the stadium) gamepad is connected to the USB port on the computer if a USB to Serial converter. A step is daisy chanied to the controller and the other stage Garland at the first stage.

  To our application had to continually check the status and position of the steps X and Y. Because the joystick also returns responses when a request is sent to all devices, I need to send applications individually; for example. one request per order per device, making it a total of 4 orders. It takes care of the error returned by the controller. The problem, however, is that after a while the freezing of the program or the computer stops and restarts. It is located about 13 minutes (on average) after the start of the program. It also happens even when no command is sent to the devices. I put 50 ms delay before each send two commands (position and status) by device. Basically, the application waits for 50ms before sending two commands for X stage and the receipt of the response and when everything is done with X stage, he expects another 50 ms to do the same for step Y. Should this procedure goes on until the application is stopped. But as I said, there is a problem. Now, I guess the problem is that serial port buffer overflows. He chose to increase the delay time, but if it works to solve the problem, then I have no choice!

  I would appreciate any thoughts and comments!

  After a lot of time to experiment, I am convinced that the issue was with adapter Profilic.

• The computer hangs during startup until after latest upgrade of Windows 7

  My new Dell has a little less than 3 months and so far has worked like a dream. It runs Windows 7. The latest Windows updates, which there were 3 were installed as I stopped last night. When I booted the pc this morning he hooked up with the following message: "Operation Applying 51 51 (\Registry\Machine\Components\...) update".

  The pc reacts more than anything, so finally, I manually turned off and restarted. The system returns to a previous Restore Point. Later in the day, I turned off the pc how he downloaded 3 updates (probably the same ones again) and the same problem occurred when restarting later. The pc is running McAfee SecurityCenter, which has been pre-installed again.

  Please can anyone help with advice for this problem?  Thank you.

  Peter

  Consider yourself lucky.

  Because this update was 'critical', he went ahead and downloaded itself last night while I was asleep.

  I woke up this morning to a glorious flashing cursor whenever I try to start.  My computer still runs beautifully, now it does not even start.

  Thank God for this update, otherwise I might be able to get for the photoshops I was working on that.

• Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

  Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

  Details:

  Current system:
  Microsoft Windows XP

  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  Info of current Disk Defragmenter:
  C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
  (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

  Antivirus:
  Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

  Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

  The story so far:

  FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
  I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

  'SOLVED' BY:
  I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

  UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
  So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

  26 January:
  CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
  -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
  -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
  -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
  -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
  -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

  I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

  -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

  CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
  I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

  Wednesday, April 8:
  BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
  -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
  9 April:
  -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
  SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
  -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
  "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
  -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
  All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

  Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

  Thank you very much.

  Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

  It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

  But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

• [SOLVED] Windows 7 hangs during the "you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer.

  I was recently on my computer and running windows 7 with happiness and problem free, until I downloaded a file from the internet. When I opened it, windows asked me if I want to allow this program allow changes. However, there is the rub. When I click on 'Yes', the message will disappear, but the computer hangs at the screen has gone even a light, tinted gray, with all of the programs that are still running in the background. It freezes for about 2 minutes and then decides to return to normal, free for me to return to work and navigation. However, the program that I have originally intended to be performed by him to make changes didn't work at all. Confused, I ran over and over again, but with very little success, and the problem continued to appear. I tried to launch a clean boot, but that doesn't help more. Can someone help me please? Thanks :)

  Thank you for the support, but I solved the problem.

  I did a system restore, and it seems that a microsoft critical update was the culprit of all this? In any case, everything seems to work now and thanks again for all the support and help, I appreciate it a lot :)

  well, so that's what I've done so far, I have downloaded the kit of the student digital river, I originally ran Windows xp 32-bit, so when I ran first the exe download, it gave me the error of not being able to record in a single folder to read and what not, but I followed the suggestions on the forums to move forward a burn on a startup disk expandedsetup folder in converting it to an iso, which I did, I installed the first time but missed the option to format my hard drive so my old files were still there, however, once got installed win 7 I wasn't able to connect to internet for some strange reason and I couldn't understand it, so I decided to take the 3 files I downloaded originally from digital river and try their unpacking on the 64 bit OS now I had installed, it worked fine this time without any errors, so I moved the folder expandedsetup to my laptop and he burned them on a dvd as before, this time I boot from the dvd and do a clean install, it installs again very well, but once I login in the OS and I am getting started with things once again everything is grinding the long, I tried to restart and it does not work, this time it froze just a black before the paper screen, so once more, I started from the dvd and tried to do a clean install, but this time, he begins to hang during the part of expanding windows files, so I decide to make another disc using the second expandedsetup folder thinking that perhaps a new one was a bad burn, this does not work either, it takes about 14% of full on the extension of the windows files and then he told me that the files is not found, so I tried the second drive once again, we only got 4% until it gives me error on files is not found , so I put the first early in and try and suspension 4% right now and I expect to give me the same error, I have really no idea of happening, there are too many variables, but I tried to evaluate each of them, would be - this related material? my computer is compatible for win 7 64 bit, I ran the Upgrade Advisor before you buy, so I know that my hardware can run it, I think it's my dvd drive or the hard drive, but they both seem to run fine otherwise, any help would be appreciated

  Hello Impoc,

  Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  ·     Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

  ·     Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  ·     If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

  ·     There is a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and to identify the necessary repairs. Don't forget to disable the antivirus before you start the installation again.

  Also, it is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  1. wait 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

  2. If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

  3. If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary hardware. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows 7.

  If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer or retailer to check if the computer is compatible with Windows 7.

  Note: This article is related to Windows Vista. However, you can follow the same steps with Windows 7.

  If the installation fails after following the steps above, try to note the exact error message and provide the same.

  It will be useful.

  Thank you and best regards,
