• Something Apple regarding 10.11.4 gel and requiring a hard reboot?  I had several incidents since the upgrade (supposedly) gel to 10.11.4

  I'm having a problem with my Pro MacBrook retina (end of 2013).  Since the upgrade is supposed to 10.11.4, I eperienced several system freezes; all

  There is no systemic problem with 10.11.4 gel. Where are you this information? If you get it from forums like this one do not forget that the few people who post here post about issues they know. Their messages do not represent millions of people, not problems.

  A lot of questions like yours goes back to 3rd party apps incompatible or drivers that have not been updated for 10.11.4. Provide details of your question and we will try to help you.

• Safari causes freezing requiring a hard restart

  Safari OSX 10.11.4 my iMAC started recently causing many freezes a day which could only be corrected by a hard reboot - power button. After you run disk utility and reset pram - no change. I stopped using Safari & switch to firefox and the problem did not appear for 3 days.

  The reason why was that I switched from PC to mac to get away from these boring system hangs. I've seen a lot of messages from people with similar problems, but I don't know how to decide which of the hundreds of different suggestions will actually solve the problem. I hope someone can give me advice. Spending countless hours trying to fix software problems are not my cup of tea. Maybe it's time to give a PC another try.

  Safari is the gel on a particular site or it freezes after a certain amount of time on any site?

  Are you running a mac Anti Virus or 3rd party cleaning or the management software (clean my mac, guardian of mac, etc) - If yes remove immediately, AV Mac is not as flexible as Windows AV and especially it is not necessary and the management software is not compatible with the integration already has OS X and it will cause serious problems.

  have you removed your external devices (except keyboard and mouse) to see if there is a mismatch?

  Hi Susan,.

  Try to run Photoshop, hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard and click Yes to ignore the optional plugins loading. If that helps connect some third parties could be the cause of problem. If this is not the case, go to the second suggestion.

  I enjoyed in the latest versions of windows me to exclude the "fluff" that I have no interest to use on my computer that I don't want on my computer and I am concerned by recent versions of windows is going in the direction of cloud integration, bing and demanding account login and link with your computer accounts.

• Media Center crashes during video playback of need to hard reboot.

  Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for several days of attempted troubleshooting, Googling, try many things to fix it... first of all let me apologize in advance for the length of my post but I wanted to give as much information as possible to help anyone trying to rule out things...!

  OK, so the problem...

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit as a clean install on my HTPC, after the first do a complete 1 & 0 format of the hard drive that had previously installed Vista Home Premium, installation went well and I proceeded to install all updates to Windows, and then update drivers for all my hardware.

  The system is used only as a HTPC, it's my only TV and video playback device, (so reliability is essential for me) and it is connected to a defintion of Sony, 44 "Widescreen Rear Projection TV Standard, via S-video, with audio goes to a system DD/DTS 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker Logitech z5500, via a sound card by using the optical cable (specifications of the complete system below).  The system worked flawlessly more of one year using Vista SP1 32 - bit, until I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on the hardware configuration identical.

  Since installing Windows 7, it worked fine for the first week, not a single problem, I am housebound are disabled so that the system is in continuous service 24/7 and he had no problems in the first 10 days, however all of a sudden I'm getting now random freezes requiring a hard reset , but it occurs during video playback of any of my 3 hard disks, or when you try to play a DVD in Media Center. Which led me to think it is associated video (problem of driver or hardware fault) card, disc or HARD associated.

  Frost can occur sometimes, after a few minutes of reading, or sometimes after a few hours, requiring a restart of the hard to get the sytem to answer.

  Reading of the TV via the TV Tuner card is not affected, its only when playing of stored content (MPEG2, h264 .mkv .avi files or DVD) are all media SD HD and all played fine for the first few days.

  Intermittent freezes occurring could block the system completely freeze the image and audio and all activities, nothing would work at all, I tried windwos keyboard, ctrl alt del, nothing at all, to do a reboot hard to recover the system, it can then be either minutes or sometimes an hour before the same thing happens again. I tried to use different video files in the case of the corruption of files, different DVD to exclude damaged disks, same result.

  All of the above software has been installed by using the latest available versions downloaded from the manufactuer sites, which claim to support Windows 7 and all have been updated regularly since its installation.

  I have tried many of the suggestions I've seen posted to try to solve this problem, including:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Media Center and WMP
  2. Disabling subtitles in Media Center
  3. Disable unused mobo onboard devices in the BIOS
  4. Update BIOS
  5. Updated all drivers
  6. Disabling Control Panel Nvidia PhysX

  14. Tried to change the audio output S/PDIF instead of Xonar Soundcard onboard - same problem occurs
  15. Tried the Windows 7 repair facility - problem persists.
  16. Tried to uninstall all updates of Windows -same problem
  17. I tried the system restore to before the occurrence of the problem started - no help
  18. tried to re-downlaoding all hardware drivers updated and re - install in the case of a corrupt driver download - no chance even problem

  Essentially none of the abvoe helped to solve this problem, and it becomes really frustrating to have to restart the PC again and again trying to watch a recorded video file or DVD.

  After remove all the above I can only assume that it is a problem with Windows 7, needing a fix of the millisecond.  At least I think that I've exhausted everything I can try... ???

  With what is my HTPC, if I can't perform reliably, I have to reinstall Vista, Vista was not the best OS, but at least it was reliable for me in terms of my HTPC.

  I was really eager to get Windows 7, I used the RTM version on my netbook for some time before I made the decision to purchase the full retail version for my HTPC, and never had any of these problems with my installation of netbook that I used for playback of media files from an external USB HDD.  So I'm really disappointed to have these problems after doing all that I could to make sure that Windows 7 would work OK.

  If anyone can give me any suggestions of what I can try, anythign I can too watching, or if someone has hada similar problem and found a solution for him... Please, please, post more details, because I am really at my wits end now and have to resort to watch the recordings on a 10.2 "screen of my netbook with some speakers of the small laptop usb, after spending so much money on my system and surround sound Setup HTPC, its devastating to think that I'll have to go back to Vista...

  Absoultely ANY suggestions would be appreciated...

  Thanks in advance for any help and once again, I'm sorry for the length of the post, if there is more information needed I've not provided above, please let me know and I will try to publish as soon as POSSIBLE...

  After the forum of scouring and reding of countless discussions, it seems, there is some sort of problem with Media Network Sharing tha could be the cause of this problem, as many people have reported that disabling wmpnetwk.exe in the Services.msc solves the problem.

  It's not an ideal solution for me, as I have a HTPC in the room that I play media from the main HTPC downstairs and all the hype MS seemed to suggest that Win 7 is it is much easier to achieve, and has been one of the main points of sale used in one of their commercials for the operating system.

  This my MS you need to pay attention to this problem and work towards a solution and allow users to know when the solution has been provided, probably have a service that must be disabled to let the operating system work reliably is quite counterproductive.

  Nobody seems to answer my post above with other suggestions and wmpnetwork.exe disable workaround was published last November, all the while still there is no permanent solution...?

  EDIT: Just to confirm this wmnetwork.exe Netwrok disabling media sharing in the services, as well as disabling the media streaming in the Netwrok Sharing Center > advanced sharing Options, solved the constant crashes for me.

  So all the MS speak of 3rd party drivers for the cards video and other material or material defects are to blame, it's total BS, the only problem is to do with Windows and Windows Media Sharing, lets hope, they decide to do something to fight it... !!

• Computer crashes repeatedly on startup according to office. Need to hard reboot stop

  After a reboot, the computer hangs at the office during the loading of system tray.  The mouse freezes as well.  Computer is in need of about 3 or 4 stops/restarts difficult before it starts successfully.

• How to: diagnose hardware - freezes in windows and in the BIOS

  Original title: material and gel

  I have a computer that restarts and freezes frequently. Sometimes, when it freezes, the fan will go up to 4000 rpm and I have to hold the power for 5 seconds and switch it off. I don't know what could be the problem. RAM checks see the rise of nothing and the power supply is not that old. There are a few times where I would turn it on and the bios does not appear or the bios screen is frozen and incomplete. More likely, it may be material, but I don't know how I can check. I also had blue screen with kernel errors do you know what it can be?

  HP AMD Athlon (TM) 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 6000 + 3.00 GHz

  3 GB Ram

  Windows Vista 64-bit

  I think I found the problem.

  I removed a piece of memory sharp and rebooted the computer with a normal startup. After waiting about 10-15 minutes between boots, I would restart the computer. I did about 5 boots hard to ensure that the problem not would not recur. I found that the problem was one of my RAM sticks.

  No ram shortage just like that or it could have the heat from the computer? The fan is often times at 4000 rpm and there are about 4 hard drives working there.

  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards

  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.
