My computer keeps freezing.  It will be the circle of hour glass thing and is the only way I can get the computer to turn off by holding the power button down.  It will freeze and the computer screen turns white and everything's going to say (not answer).  What should I do?

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • HP Envy 15 "touch screen power LED appears, but the fans does not and the screen does not light

    Hello!

    I'm a student in computer engineering at the University of Waterloo 1A, and I run a very serious problem with my HP Envy 15 "TouchSmart laptop computer running Windows 8.1. It is a problem that just started today, and I'd rather have a first support here before going to see the technical support Office sometimes tomorrow. It has to do with the screen and the fans where the Power LED lights in white, just as when the laptop works properly.

    (I have warranty on the laptop when it was purchased last June, except that if I find that I need to get a replacement, I'll lose all my work, I did on that since I started my semester.) It's so silly of me not to have all my work saved on a backup, because I have an external hard drive. Problem is, I've had too many problems in getting myself organized, I'm not being open-minded as I should, and worse, I'm not a balance between life and work at home.)

    Before I had my MATH 117 conference (Calculus 1 Engineering), I was in a nearby lab where my laptop was open and turned, works correctly. I've had NetBeans IDE running since I wanted to work on the second part of my current assignment of CS 137 (principles of programming). Because it was almost time for my presentation, I closed the laptop by simply moving the screen down on the keyboard, where it goes into mode 'sleep'. (Whenever I flip to the top of the screen, the laptop is supposed to return, and the sliding screen of Windows 8.1 connection will appear.)

    When I took my seat for reading, I wanted to spend a little time to work on my programming assignment. However, after the reversal of the screen to the top, instead of having the login screen appears, I encountered the problem: the power supply light is showing a white light, but I don't hear the fans between the ventilation openings on the left side of the laptop and the screen does not light. I tried to take the power for several seconds and once button at least 10 seconds, except that the power light continues to display on a white light. The Commission of the Wi - Fi light is not displayed.

    Whatever it is, I don't want to take out the battery because I have that on my last laptop, and it's from there that I couldn't turn to the former, a new market. If I leave the Envy laptop battery, it will short-circuit the connections between the battery and the computer, and so several components will FRY. For now, what I do let the laptop is to empty the load on the battery. Then, once I noticed that the power light does not project a white light, or plug in the AC adapter and try turning the laptop on the power button.

    It will take a little while for the circuit drain the load on my battery but...

    Anyway, please would you be kind enough to help me with this problem? I would really appreciate if you can give me several recommendations. Thank you!

  • Script errors often slow Firefox, does not and the display no longer responds.

    In recent weeks, firefox has often been insensitive, usually represented as "does not. It lasts anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes (maybe more, but by this amount of time, I lose patience and "end task" in the Task Manager.) It is usually followed by an error "the script is not responding. What script it's varies. I answered by clicking on "stop script" which usually fixes the problem temporarily.

    The problem seems to occur more often at random, but happen always predictable on site with videos like youtube. Here, it's also worse, take much longer to solve if we do at all. I have active flashblock, and sometimes the error occurs before I got the chance to activate the video and sometimes after, but occurs systematically. In addition, on this kind of site, the error "the script is not responding" will also go on which most of the time, which I have not seen anywhere else, which means that the only solution, after a certain time must end the process in the Task Manager. Sometimes, I tried to play the same video for half an hour without success.

    As I have spent some time in the Task Manager, I noticed that I find myself with many processes running for FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_152.exe * 32 (Description: Adobe Flash Player 15.0 r0.) They accumulate more I use firefox, but disappear when I restart my computer. I'm away until at least 50 at any given time. Most use 128 or 124 K of memory, but about 1 in 7 uses between 1-5000 K. I don't know if it is related to these issues, but I only noticed it since it was started.

    I tried to reset firefox and it changed nothing of the above.
    If it helps, I've used Windows 7. Do not hesitate to ask for more details on my system and I will do my best to answer, although I'm not a computer expert. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Please update to version 32 and make sure that it also does not happen with the disabled extensions/addons.

  • WiFi radio adapter off, the USB ports does not and the Bluetooth adapter is no longer visible... Please help!

    I had my laptop Dell Vostro repaired under insurance in January 2013 after a spill of liquid.  HAAC Ltd. has replaced most of the laptop - but the return, the SD card did not work.  This seems to be due to the engineer he connects not properly and the company recommended it and returned it to me again.  A couple of months, I found my USB was temperamental - so is my built in Bluetooth adapter.   Last month - the wifi does not work for most of the time either so I have to connect to my router by wire.

    This could be a problem in windows 7 - all my problems seem to be related to network adapters.  If it's a hardware problem - does anyone know if it could be another loose connection?  HAAC Ltd. only give a 3 month warranty on parts that seems just a little.  But if this anomaly is due to the production of poor quality - that is not properly connect the laptop then I'll go back their again if they are responsible.

    By the way – there's a switch wifi on the front of the laptop - but is not currently be recognized.

    If anyone has settings that I could check that can help - especially if some inhibit the use of wifi.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Your wifi switch not recognized is probably a hardware problem. The rest could be a hardware or software problem.

    Method 1:

    Lets start by doing a reset to coercive. Follow these steps:

    1. Unplug the notebook (remove power cord), then remove the battery.
    2. Disconnect all USB devices and the connections between the USB ports.
    3. Let the laptop only for several minutes.
    4. Then plug the power cord without connecting the USB devices. Then replace the battery.
    5. Plug each device in turn, allowing them to load the drivers of devices one at a time (plug in the appliance and wait its loading all its drivers before installing the next USB).

    The computer recognizes the USB ports? All of them or none of them?

    Method 2:

    Open Control Panel, Manager of design. Click the view tab, and then click Show all devices. From there, you can remove all instances of USB devices and restart the computer to see if the problem resolves. Repeat this procedure with the wireless adapter (uninstall and reinstall, ensuring that there is only one instance of the wireless adapter).

    Method 3:

    Create a new user account by following the instructions in this article:   http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Create-a-user-account . Does this solve the problem?  If the problem is resolved in a new user account, this means that the old user profile is damaged. Here is the link to repair a damaged user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    Try these methods and post your results here. I'll be here waiting for the results!

    Kind regards

    When I try to scan to a file using the ikon of screen touch printers and after selecting the computer I want to test results from the screen "Select computer", "access to the computer" in the following error message:

    "The selected computer is not available. Make sure that:

    > Computer is on. [it is]

    > The computer and the printer are connected with a USB cable properly [they are].

    > The recommended HP Print software is installed and configured on the computer [I used the installation disk that came with the printer].

    I get this error message select regardless of format (PDF, JPEG, Email, etc.)

    The other functions of the touch screen seems to work normally.

    With the help of HP Printer Wizard installed on the PC to ask the printer to scan works without problem, but I find much easier if I could use the printer display.

    Thanks for your reply. Although your proposed solution has not worked as expected with my model - Officejet 5740. The option "Manage the Scan to Computer" is still not available in the HP printer Assistant. However, I thought I'd give the on-screen touch printer another chance: and it works now. So, thanks for the advice.

    Hi Rachel,

    To do this, you'll want to schedule in your startup folder so that it works even when the computer starts.  Here's how.

    1. Press + R to view the race box.  Type : startup of the shell and click OK to open the startup folder.
    2. Open your menu start, find calendar and drag it into the startup folder.

    You are finished.  Now, it runs automatically when you connect.
