HP Pavilion DM1-4033ef linux freezes randomly

I run win7 and various different Linux distributions on my dm1-4033ef, windows works fine, but every linux froze at some point without leaving clues in logs as to why it should freeze.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Anyone have any ideas?

I bought a DM1 - 4160CA 2 months ago and I am dual booting linux and win7 with linux my primary operating system. I've known total random crashes on linux... Windows works fine. After 2 months of research on this problem and try to find a solution, I was about to get rid of this laptop. I had a chat with technical support hp and a guy named Patrick said that he could only help me if I was using the pc as originally configured. I finally found a post on a forum of archlinux with a solution. It will probably apply to any 4XXX DM1. You will need to disable a thermal module... I'll paste it here:

For anyone else having this problem, FYI, I use grub, and the easiest I've found to disable the thermal module was to modify/etc/default/grub.
This was something like a line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash".

To disable the thermal module, I changed this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash Spa .off = 1".

After you change this file, you must then run

update-grub

to activate the change.

AND ALSO...

On each startup, I get an error in kernel.log:
Timer SP5100 TCO: mmio address 0xb80430 already in use
A black list of sp5100_tco seems to have solved the problem. I think so. I also disabled the thermal module, as I already have two temperature readings. He also seems to be playing with control of the fan, but I can't say that I understand very well this. I'm not 100% sure which of these two changes fixed it, but I'd put money on the thing sp5100.

    HP Pavilion dm1 mini laptop computer Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.  Freezes the shortly after the desktop appears - no response from any action of the mouse or the keyboard.  Wireless signal-meter at the bottom right shows the circle of rotation and does not seem to connect, but turn off Wireless (button) has little effect.  At the restoration of the system to return two updates.  Antivirus software is uninstalled.  Memory test OK.  CHKDSK OK.  Works perfectly in safe mode with network.  No error message.  No new software installed recently.  Worked fine on October 7 - no symptoms of imminent failure.   Can you suggest a next step?

    The problem spontaneously resolved itself last night.  After a week of troubleshooting and research, the laptop is not cold as it had been.  Still, it worked fine in safe mode, but would freeze after Normal reboot.  I have not changed anything in these last days, other than to restart several times, in SAFE and NORMAL mode.  Finally this morning it worked normally without freezing during the night.  Not sure that the problem could be.  Made several updates to Java and Windows without problem.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Freeze random/Lockup

    My computer freezes randomly. What is happening is that I'm doing something that I do as usual check Facebook or some other normal Web site and it just randomly freezes. I have no idea what is the cause, and he never blue screens. What happens is:

    • All open windows are "reduced" (on the dock, they show also open)
    • My desktop turns black and has no basis on this subject
    • The mouse goes to the center of the screen
    • The mouse and keyboard freeze
    • and above the battery icon, there are random letters that always read "sRpIg".

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • EliteBook 8440p; DM1-3020us: 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3L works in Pavilion DM1 but not Elitebook 8440p? But both are supported than 1066 MHz RAM

    I have two Elitebook 8440p PCs that both run an Intel i5 520 m (although one of them has a discreet Nvidia NVS 3100 m, while the other does not and use the integrated graphics card Intel).

    I also have a Pavilion DM1-3020us with an AMD E-350 APU; It's the only other PC I own which takes SO-DIMM DDR3 modules.

    I just bought this Crucial DDR3L 1600 MHz 2x4gb hoping to use it with the 8440p without the graphics from Nvidia:

    http://www.BestBuy.com/site/crucial-2-Pack-4GB-1-6GHz-PC3-12800-DDR3L-so-DIMM-Unbuffered-non-ECC-lap...

    However, it causes crashes and BSOD as soon as he tried to start under Win7 64 bit on both 8440 p PCs.  Also when trying to boot Linux Mint 18 I empty a kernel panic, and run Memtest86 + just leads to restarting the PC within seconds.  Yet, I can navigate through the BIOS throughout the day and it will continue to work very well...

    But here's where it gets really weird - the RAM works perfectly fine in my laptop DM1 Memtest86 + and Win7 64 bit (I use it as I type this).  What's curious?  Because both the AMD E-350 and the Intel i5 520 m only support up to 1066 MHz RAM!

    The only thing I can think is that there is something wacky where RAM is unable to operate at 1066 MHz at 1.5V or is not able to run at 1.5V to all E-350 1.35v support (and 1.5V RAM so that the i5 520 m only supports 1.5V) which itself would be really strange that Micron (which actually manufactured the RAM) States on their website that their 1.35v and 1.5V RAM have actually the same die (a bit like mobile i7s quad vs quad I5S Office) and that both can operate at 1, 5V, implying therefore that the 1.35v product is simply a higher binning:

    https://www.micron.com/~/Media/documents/products/technical-note/DRAM/tn4114_ddr3_1_35v_1_5v_compat...

    Crucial live chat support, however, closed several hours for the day, so I thought I would at least make this post in the meantime.

    Hello:

    Please see this thread, and the discussion that I posted in this thread... and you'll have your answer.

    6550 b has the same chipset as the 8440p.  I posted the link to the site from NewEgg for the memory, you need to buy if you live in the USA/Canada in the discussion that I've referenced to the other person who had the 8440p.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634#M335108

    There are several discussions on this issue if you want to find even more.  Everything is solved by specific G.Skill memory I posted.

    The extent of why it works in the dm1 and not the 8440p, the chipsets are different.  The Intel chipset in the 8440p doesn't support voltage DDR3L.  Comparison of AMD and Intel chipsets are like comparing apples and oranges.

    I also believe that the chipset amd in the dm1 is more recent than the chipset in the 8440p and promotes low-voltage memory.

    I have just return from memory and use the gift card on something else.

    I doubt that Best Buy has this specific memory.

  • System processor use/Slow high - 4000SD HP Pavilion DM1

    Hi guys,.

    I have a HP Pavilion DM1 4000SD, Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 Bit, which is a little more than a year.

    The last two weeks, I noticed that the netbook is really slow and freezes a lot. When I look at the CPU usage, I see that it is between 90% and 100%, even if I have no programs open.

    My C: drive has 208 GB out of 444 GB left, my drive D: (recovery) has 1.79 GB off 16, 6 GB left and my drive E: (TOOLS HP) has 13.6 MB off 3.95 GB left.

    I am up to date with updates of Windows.

    I don't have knowledge of General computing, so I hope you can help out me.

    Thank you very much!

    Cheers, Gwen

    Your hard drive space has nothing to do with your CPU usage. It is the CPU of your laptop and everything you do on your computer are maxing out. The processor that is in your computer is slow compared to the standards of today, but there still, a computer with a monitor 11 "is not designed to be a power plant, it is designed with portability in mind.

    What programs are you running on this issue most of the time? Some programs are more heavy resources than others and can really impose the CPU. If you leave a lot of programs open when you are not using them, they continue to use the CPU in the background. It might even not the case. Sometimes programs are set to auto-start when the computer starts and they are run without you ever touching. We can take care of this however.

    First of all, I would recommend that you run through this document from HP on how to improve the performance of the system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01817290

    All the information contained in this document, if very useful and could help you a lot. However, the bulk of this document, regarding your question, is the section "Manage startup programs by preventing programs from bottom of loading".

    That should help free up some of your CPU usage. Try it and tell me if things have improved.

    Good luck

  • XPS 15 9550 freezes randomly (on any OS)

    Hello, I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

    My situation is this: I got a new Dell XPS 15 9550 two weeks ago. It was working fine until last night when suddenly the screen went black. I was just using Facebook. The computer was still but does not. He would not press the power button. So I held the power button for 5 seconds, rebooted and he always used and it would never happen again. Finally, after trying different solutions, I went for the reinstallation of Windows 10.

    While Windows 10 has been reinstalled it happened again. All of a sudden the screen went black and stayed like that forever. I had to shut off again. Now, I have no OS and computer stuck in a boot loop. Fortunately, I had a USB bootable Ubuntu Linux laying around. So I plugged in and tried to install Ubuntu

    But the computer also freezes randomly when trying to install Ubuntu. Sometimes, it's not even lasted 10 seconds before freezing, sometimes it takes a minute. The only difference is that with Ubuntu screen freezes on the last image, whereas with Windows, the screen freezes black.

    So I ran MemTest86, no memory problem. I ran the Diagnostics Dell Diagnostics (extensive testing) score. Fell asleep. Returned 4 hours later and Diagnostics says no past everything, no errors. The strange thing is that after 4 hours there still react, just waiting for me to click OK. Do not freeze. So I restarted the laptop, tried to install Ubuntu and even once, freezes after a few seconds.

    So I really don't know what could be the problem. If it freezes on different OS, it must be a hardware problem? But diagnostics memtest86 and dell said material is OK. Not only that, but when running the diagnostics, it did not freeze for hours.

    I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Thank you very much.

    Kevin - also had other problems with it, or is it the same freeze issue?

  • MacBook Air freezes randomly

    Hi all

    I had a problem with my Macbook Air early 2015 since nearly a month. I freeze random OS experience (I'm under OS X El Capitan 10.11.4): the cursor moves and the keyboard is unresponsive, so I can't do anything at all. The only thing I can do to "unlock", it requires the laptop to restart (by turning manually him off and then back on). This problem occurs more or less one or two times a week and I didn't notice a particular task or request that I am running that may cause the gel. Usually, it happens while I'm surfing the web with Safari, but not all the time.

    Any ideas or suggestions on how to solve the problem?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  • Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
    I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

    However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

    After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

    If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

    Hope to hear from someone soon,

    Flashback

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
    High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

    Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

  • Screen freezes randomly (Macbook Pro retina 13 inches early 2015)

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4

    Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.9 GHz

    Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Graphics Iris 6100 1536 MB


    I bought this MacBook on the Apple store online a year ago, and I must say it has been a very reliable machine up to now. It starts way faster that any laptop I have ever used before.

    However, recently to update my OS on the 10.11.4 version, my screen freezes randomly. The keyboard and trackpad are both unresponsive.  Closing the cover does nothing either, since the macbook won't sleep normally as it would be. The only solution I had was to hold down the power button to force it to close.  This has been extremely frustrating and made me lose valuable data too.  I ran the Diagnostics of Apple and the only error seems to be the battery issue. It has been said, however, that it should not affect the performance of the computer.


    If someone has encountered this problem, great tips, thank you would be much appreciated!


    Hey, I bought the same macbook 6 months ago, the macbook had several recurring problems, graphic and audio glitches, what happened was, sometimes (for watching movies, or playing games) the screen went black with a red line on the left side of the screen, then after 2-3 seconds screen is returned to normal, and then there was a glitch-audio distortion that attaches after 10 seconds - 1 min.

    I have tried to solve this problem, because to the 4months, 2 authorized repair shops are rendered as well an apple store, they told me that the tests have said everything was perfect, they failed to reproduce this problem, and that is probably a software problem, it wasn't, because I did everything to eliminate the risk that this was a clean install os software problem to use different browsers, readers different flash etc.

    About a month and a half my macbook froze for the first time exactly like yours, frozen screen, slider became unresponsive, caps lock light insensitive, trackpad locked (didn t click), closing the screen was always on the apple logo. I did exactly what you were doing, forced to shutdown by pressing the power button.

    I was furious, thinking that this is an escalation of the hardware failure and he was in awe of this next step is to "die".

    The next time he "froze" again, I went to the apple store nearby with the macbook in a frozen state and demanded that they fix it, I insisted the guy writes it down and describe the exact condition of the macbook was when I took it to them, and he said that they will run tests and see When I tell him that it is the "millionth" time test you my macbook, he said, that even if the tests show nothing they will replace the logic board, we signed a "service record" who says that they will replace the logic board and the battery and for the first time that I was happy they will finally fix.

    I was wrong, they called me a week later and say we took some tests and everything is ok, it was the last straw, I did not pick up the macbook and said that I will not pick up unless they fix it.

    Next day I went to the store and made a big fuzz, saying: I have contacted the Ombudsman, and I'll still take legal action if they didn't fixed it the next day.

    Next day I went and they had replaced the logic board so the top-case with battery.

    The reason I say this is, their support at least in my case, it was terrible to the point that I preferred to throw the macbook in the trash and never look back, you can't really imagine how long it took me to convince to repair or replace, for 4months I was on the phone or online chat and was flowing like a ball from one to the other.

    If you are still under warranty, go directly to the apple store and request a fix, when I say request, do not be polite, don't bite on phrases like "we will do everything, so you won't have to come back again," go aggressive mode, because at least in my case, be polite did not help, the best thing would be, when it freezes again not turn off it take it straight to the apple store.

    Another thing is, I had a battery problem when running the diagnostics, whenever I gave it to them they said oh "battery is ok, sometimes the tests fail," my argument? If the tests fail how do you rely on them...

    Go and demand, it is their responsibility to fix, 3 and a half months being polite is not done, I'm aggressive and stares at me in 1 week.

    Good luck

  • S50D-a satellite freezes randomly

    Hi all

    S50D-A, a week ago, I bought a Satellite.

    The machine freezes randomly. This happens about 6 - 8 times during a working day.

    When it freezes the cursor still moves but I can not even access Task Manager. Usually it will restart after a few minutes, sometimes it will jump out of it.

    The PC temporarily froze all by writing this!

    This is a brand new machine and it happened since the day 1, nor the hour 1 even.

    I hope you guys and girls can help.

  • Satellite L450D keeps freezing randomly

    Hello

    I recently bought a L450D refurbished: Win 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, 2.1 Ghz AMD dual core, it works much faster than my Toshiba 1 year anyway.

    The problem is, it keeps freezing randomly. When this happens the screen looks like the picture in the link, mouse and keyboard are completely insensitive, but I left it and the battery is flat it beep?

    So far I've only updated windows, it is the partition of Toshiba hard disk but f8 during the startup does not seem to do anything and when I tried to write the recovery disc it burned but said unable to end of file during the verification step.

    Hello

    Mobile on the photo looks like a problem with a graphics chip.

    Maybe the laptop freezes because of the high temperature of the GPU. What do you think that?

    Have you noticed a higher temperature?

    If Yes, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air you should also try an update of the display.

  • Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

    We have several Tecra S10 and S11. Freezing randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it throughout the day.

    The Tecra is all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32-bit installation. After installation of Windows 7, we have removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc.), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and Microsoft put updated laptops. So far so good.

    However, after a week or two just work in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Same ctrl + alt + delete does not work. The Tecra should be forced to turn off the power, press and hold the power button.

    Everyone recognizes these "frozen moments". It's very annoying.

    It is not easy to say why this is happening.
    Always it is that Office is preinstalled on almost all laptops Toshiba so I did not thing your laptops can be somewhat different.

    Maybe something else responsible for this?
    Maybe are all connected to your business LAN and there is a problem.
    Are connected external devices which can be responsible for this?
    Maybe some internal software of the company is blocking something.

    It is not easy to say what he can be.

    Have you done tests in the past to see what can be the problem?

    Does anyone have an idea of this behavior? How can I solve this problem

    Hi @ljuserhpfor ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I appreciate all the information and the results of the tests that you did. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dm1-3025dx Entertainment Notebook PC and the laptop does not start. In my view, that the question is called the RTC battery. (Real TIme Clock).  Here isa document to show you how you can replace that.

    If you see things very well on a screen, it might be a bad driver has been installed. You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Hope it will be useful.

    Thank you.
