Computer hangs on a sporadic basis. recent update of hard drive

I have a fairly old T43 running XP and my computer freezes sporadically and randomly. I checked the event viewer for all things funky going on at the time of the accident, and I don't see anything obvious. My camera crashed THREE times now, and the possible suspect only, occurring 2 to 8 minutes before the gel is this error message:

"
System event COM + has no fire the ConnectionMadeNoQOCInfo method on subscription {A82F0E80-1305-400C-BA56-375AE04264A1}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.  The Subscriber returned HRESULT 80004001.
"

I tried check disk utility. I have all the updates that are installed. I use AVG Anti-virus. The first time it happened was after the upgrade from my hard drive. Help! I'm pulling out my hair!

    I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

    Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  • Satellite P300D - problem with reboot after update the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300D - 12 c and recently, I put a new hard drive, the Seagate momentus 7200 RPM 2.5 "500 GB. It works well, but I have a strange problem; normally when I reboot the laptop when it will close something sounds, in the figurative sense I could say "something moves" for a bit in the DVD - ROM drive and shuts down and then restarts.

    Now, when the reboot happens to the part of the dvd - rom drive, I described above it stucks there... "something is happening" on the dvd - rom drive as trying to permanently access a dvd or something and he does the same thing until I force it to shut down by pressing the appropriate button. It happens once in two attempts to restart.

    Does anyone have a solution or a tip or something? If you do not understand something to tell me,

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Maybe the drive is loose and so you should try re-allocation of places there.
    Maybe it works

    And updated the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site:

  • Computer does not start if the 150 GB Toshiba HARD drive is connected

    Hi, I bought an external hard drive of 150 GB PX1220E of pc world a few days ago. When I start my PC it sticks on the splash screen, and I have to unplug the usb cable and restart the pc, then connect the drive again to use it.

    Is this an error with the drive?

    Hello

    I googled a bit and it seems that it is really a Toshiba HDD.
    However, for me, this is NOT a malfunction.
    The external HARD disk is connected before starting. So I think that the computer is trying to boot from the external HARD drive and so it freezes.

    You should check the boot order in the BIOS and connect the HARD drive after you start the procedure.

  • Satellite C660 - update the HARD drive firmware question

  • Satellite L40 - 14Y Bios Update with HARD drive empty

    I need to update the Bios of my Satellite L40 - 14Y / PSL48E-01F01UGR of Version 1.60 to 5.50 (for Windows XP). The HARD drive is _ * authorized/empty * _.

    My problem: the 'solution' as given

    [Http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

    is unreasonable/erraneous. The instructions provided in this site for the "traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy ' lead 'procedure 7" for a Satellite L40.

    7 procedure is however simply: copy the 5 files, such as listed in the respective "bios - 20080617131457.zip" zip file on the disk ("+ extracted the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS to a formatted floppy + '). This disk is - of course - _ * bootable * _ and its usage with the error message "NTLDR" not found as shall be provided.

    We know a solution to this problen other than the installation of an operating system for the current object of updating the Bios from an operating system?

    Additional note: the attempt to install the 5.50 Bios by running winflash.exe (which is the single executable in "bios - 20080617131457.zip") failed because it "does not in DOS mode. But he could start with a few other disk started micro operating system, such as, for example, Caldera back. We know something about that? The statement: "run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. .... . A BIOS update diskette will be generated"as given for other than blackness L40 laptops means that a * _bootable_ disk is"generated ". Other laptops with the same Bios 5.50 as the L40?

    Hi jetztkommich,

    Don t do so complicated: anything that can be downloaded from the Toshiba site, you will find. If there is that only a basic Windows Update the BIOS, you can run the update of the BIOS under Windows. I think that s easy to understand.

    As Al - Ex worte, you can try the update on a Windows disc packed with bart PE.

  • Laptop HP DM1 - possible to update SSD hard drive?

    I have a laptop DM1, very slow.  Just wondering if it is possible to upgrade the hard drive to SSD - which means it'll work.   Went through the plug technique, said he can only support 320 GB hard drive (which is weird), but the SSD come as low as 64 GB, so that's fine.  I've already updated the ram to 2 GB, but it is still slow.

    See page 45 of the HP DM1 Service Manual here:

    Your manual

    It has an easy access door and uses the 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA drives and standard of 2.5 inches wide, so it will not be a problem to upgrade to an SSD. After if you need assistance with migration/relocation of software or select a good reasonably priced at SSDS.

    Today my laptop crashed. So I disconnected and tried to turn it off completely. He got to "shutting down" but does not move, so I had to leave the exhausted battery. Then I rebooted from recovery, is DVD went in safe mode and try to run the system restore. I now have a message saying:
