computer started to randomly restart. What to do with the tools I have to try to find what is wrong?

I am running Windows XP sp3, out of nowhere, my computer started to randomly restart. What to do with the tools I have to try to find what is wrong?

Hello ccsmudge,

Often, we see crashes as a result of a program from loading at startup.
To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.
The following describes this process:
 
In addition, if you can zip the contents of the c:\Windows\minidump folder and put it on a public folder to http://skydrive.live.com , then we can take a peek to see if and why we are bluescreening and restart all of a sudden.
 
Best regards

    Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool of liquefy; I can't change the size of the brush or hardness. OS win 7 Professional 64 bit, wacom tablet intuos 6.3.14 - 1 driver s pro, Photoshop 2015 CC worm.  2015.0.1 20150722.r.168

    What are your settings of GPU acceleration?  As I understand it, the Alt right click size and hardness adjust needs acceleration GPU to be turned on, but I have a feeling Brush hardness is always set to easy when using fluidity.  You can still see the quick mask as representation of the soft brush when Alt right click, but you can't change the hardness.

    Is that you can change the brush size and pressure (framed in red in my screenshot) Alt right click drag left and right changes size and down to pressure changes, and you can see what is happening in real-time by looking at the sign on the right.  It works independently of your acceleration GPU (IME) settings, but you don't get the effect of soft red quick mask.

    Does this fit with what you see, or you are not able to change things at all?  If not, then I've always found that fluidity consumes system resources, if you could check the Task Manager > Performance tab to see what kind of RAM and CPU use is using the fluidity.  That's what I see after direction the lens above with a big brush continuously for 10 seconds.  Note This is on a fairly quick NLE System.

    Ivan,

    If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

    Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

    To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • random freeze... associated with the disorder of wmi?

    Hi, I have a win 7 Home premium system random freezes where just stopt and I have to restart.

    This happens usually about an hour after the start when my computer's bit (music player and browser open) then the music stops and last time image remains visible (not when my screen turned black before this time)

    After you disable most of the hardware and software this problem persists, sometimes twice a day, sometimes not for a day.

    Since no newspapers give nothing other than "the last stop was unexpected," I started to dig into some failures of wmi.

  • Computer unable to detect USB devices. Problem with the PnP device

    Hey,.

    When I use any usb device in my computer it didn't show. When I troubleshoting the messege see the problam pnp device. kindly advice me how to solve this problam in my system.

    Thank you.

    Original title: pnp device problam

    Hello Usman,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. It was working fine before? If Yes, you did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the exact error message you get, when you say, 'messege see device pnp problam?

    I understand that you can not use your USB devices because your system does not detect them. To resolve this problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

    Method 1: Try running the Fixit tool from the link below.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems

    Also, run the next fixit to solve common problems with USB devices.

    Diagnose and automatically fix the Windows USB problems

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  • Computer hangs on a white screen on startup with the keyboard is plugged.

    Original title: I have a problem starting

    I have a problem when I start my pc with my internet stick plugged and it hangs on a white screen. I have to get the key out and close my pc and reboot to get to the screen to login manually.

    This also happens randomly - some days it just starts with the key and the other days he dislikes the key and goes to blank screen.

    Why is this randomly - this is my question? If the settings are the same so why did happen randomly instead of blocking me or just start every time? Why is it random?

    Hi donga65,

    • To go through the other advice?

    Try Method 1 to downstairs, go to the method 2 If this does not resolve the issue.

    Method 1: You can update the drivers for the computer to check the issue. Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and install all the device driver updates including the chipset. See if it helps.

    Method 2: Make sure that the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) is not altered. Check the boot sequence and make sure that the hard drive is the first boot device. Check with the manufacturer for more details.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I hope this helps.

    You can use your voice to control your computer. You can say commands that the computer responds to, and you can dictate text to your computer. Before you start using Windows speech recognition, you must have a microphone attached to your computer.

  • Can I upgrade my computer Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit with the specs of my computer?

    Here's a question. I want to upgrade my pc to a 32-bit - 64-bit, 120-750 hdd hard drive and the RAM to 4gbs. is it possible for a 32-bit processor, 512 MB RAM oringally vista home 120hdd?

    original title: everything just curious...

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
    can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
    requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
    work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
    but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

    32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

    64-bit support
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/features/64-bit-support.aspx

    Run the Upgrade Advisor, and check with the center of compatibility for your key features. Also
    some system manufacturers have the online help and information for the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - run this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

    Also check the Compatibility Center
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    To see if you can run XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-BIT, you will need to check with the system
    manufacturer if it is 64-bit capable. Are there drivers 64-bit for all devices? To run 64-bit you
    need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

    I hope this helps and happy holidays!
