• Pavilion dv7 programs closing and opening at random, computer stops randomly

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6154ea running on Windows 7. I've had it for a year and a half now and I just encountered this problem (it started a few days ago).

  The problem is that some programs or files are opening and closing by themselves, randomly without doing me anything. Sometimes even whole computer stops himself. And it's not as if it crashes, it just closes programs in the usual way or stops normally (without any problem).

  I scanned the entire computer for viruses and it is clean. If the problem seems not be caused by a virus.

  One thing that I was doing at the same time when this problem occurred is switchable graphics mode in the BIOS change, dynamics on fixed, by following the steps in this link to The switchable Graphics Mode

  I have a built-in Intel GPU (that to speed up performance) and an AMD Radeon HD 6490 M GPU (that of better graphics) and I wanted to run the PC on the AMD because I think that the dynamic mode has not changed the GPU when I needded, for example for video games.

  However, after a day of opening/closing by themselves programs, I decided to return to dynamic mode, and nothing has changed, so maybe it's also not the cause of the problem.

  In any case, it seems too convenient that the problem happened right after I introduced the Switchable graphics in the BIOS mode, if I don't think it's a coincidence.

  Can someone help me? It becomes very awkward to have a program that I use at the moment of the computer closa.

  Thank you

  It doesn't sound like it's a virus, but it could also be the keyboard.

  Go to the bottom and click, facilitate the use of the keyboard.

  Check with your manufacturer for newer drivers video card (special forces), known issues and
  other possible problems - check also the video card and game maker forums. It can even be
  a problem created by the interaction of two pilots (rather than the usual cause), perhaps the
  video driver and a swap file error and other causes work together to create the problem.

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

  Even if you have done some of these methods here is the complete troubleshooting tool while
  dealing with his need.

  Think video drivers especially if it may be others. Refer to the section of driver in my generic bluescreen
  methods of troubleshooting below. BIOS, low and antispyway/antivirus/security chipset drivers
  programs may also cause this. Check the resolution of the problems and when you get to the pilot and sections tests memory refer to the generic methods in the next message and then returns to the resolution of problems
  If necessary.

  BCCode: D1 0x000000D1

  Cause

  A driver tried to access a pageable (or that is completely invalid) address while the IRQL was too high.

  This bug check is usually caused by drivers who used a wrong address.

  If the first parameter has the same value as the fourth parameter, and the third parameter indicates a runtime operation, this bug check was probably caused by a driver who was trying to run code when the code itself has been paginated outside. The possible causes for the error page are:

  • The function was marked as pageable and was operating at an IRQL higher (including obtaining a lock).
  • The function call was made to a function in another pilot, and that this driver has been unloaded.
  • The function was called by using a function pointer that was an invalid pointer.

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

  Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

  At the recovery console command line, type:

  Chkdsk /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

• Help with error: "display driver stopped responding, but recovered."

  Hello

  First of all, my configuration is a Dell XPS 7100, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, the Videocard Visiontek AMD Radeon HD 6850 w / 9.2.0.0 driver version.

  AMD Phenom II X 6 cpu.

  My problem is that when I try to play a game (more precisely: Minecraft, SimCity, World in Conflict, AOE3) under Windows, the screen freezes for 5 seconds then go black for 1 second then back to the top with an error message saying:

  Display driver stopped responding, but recovered

  Driver AMD display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

  This started only after I upgraded my video card to an AMD HD 5670 to an AMD Radeon HD 6850 Visiontek, which, at the same time, I upgraded my power supply to a 500w unit as AMD recommends. After that that I've updated all my drivers, deleted and reinstalled the driver video and which did not help. I then searched in all the forums about this problem and found that it is more than likely a problem with Windows power management. So, I followed the instructions on the site to change the registry data to help with this. This did not work, the same problem at the same time. I then contacted AMD Support and fairly well, they told me that it is either the power supply or windows power management which was the cause of the crash.

  I am at a loss now, I know not what to do. I have not tried all the third-party programs to try to manage the power. But if someone has used one that works or has any ideas for me to try please let me know.

  Thank you very much!

  I found a solution that helps!

  Please make a backup of the registry before making any changes in it.

  When editing the registry go to:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • then the MATERIAL
  • then DEVICEMAP
  • then the VIDEO
  • in the 'VIDEO' file, there is an entry with the title: MaxObjectNumber - REG_DWORD
  • This has a value at the end that looks like 0 x 00000006 (6) or 0 x 00000005 (5)
  • Double-click MaxObjectNumber, and an edit box appears
  • put 0 in the given value, and then click OK.

  This will disable Windows GPU Timeout detection and recovery. That she has stopped crashing on me.  The only problem is that windows does not save it and it resets after that rebooting so it must be changed every time you start the computer.

  If anyone knows how to save the changes to the registry, I would be very grateful for your advice.

• Computer stops with a blue screen with error fatal when the iPhone is connected

  I know it may not related to windows but I have tried other sites on this issue. My computer stops and a blue screen appears with the message saying fatal error when the iPhone is connected. I tried with or without iTunes installed.

  First without iTunes installed, windows will be asked to USB drivers for the iPhone, but I couldn't find anything on the Apple Web sites if I click No., a message appeared, saying that it might not work properly because he could not recognize my device. Second, I have the latest version of iTunes installed, windows began to recognize my iPhone but stop immediately after that with a blue screen fatal error and messeage saying updating the BIOS. Updated the BIOS of the computer, but nothing helped.

  My computer runs on Windows XP Home Edition SP3, processor Intel Core Duo 1'66 GHz, 2 GB Ram, Intel GMA 950, Intel 945 GM chipset.

  I thought that it requires no USB driver for iPhone on Windows or same iTunes unless I wanted to use it for synchronization or characteristics. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, because I tried it on other computers and it had no problem with the USB drivers and Windows can install by itself.

  Thank you.

  Hi 1980ckc,

  I am trying to download pictures from a card compact flash player map, but every time my computer shows i/o device error. What does that mean?

  Hi Richard,

  1. what version of Windows you are using on the computer?

  2. have you checked if the problem persists in a different USB port and in another computer?

  3 - is the card compact flash not detected in Device Manager?

  A Secure Digital or SD memory card is a device of small portable storage usually used on a digital camera or camcorder, cell phone, or computer system. When you use the card, you may sometimes experience an IO error. The term "i/o" is refers to an input/output error and may involve the SD itself card or the card reader you are using.

  Try these methods:

  Method 1: Try to run the hardware troubleshooter and check what the problem is and fix it accordingly.

  Follow the link below a convenience store opened.

  Method 2:

  Eject the SD card in the card reader and check the writing on the side protection tab. This tab should be in the up position; otherwise, you will not be able to save all data on the card. Also check the connection between the computer and the SD card reader. If the card reader is not properly connected to the computer, you will receive error messages when you try to use the SD card or your computer does not recognize the card.
