M6-1205dx Windows 7 screen Freeze/Pixilation
I got my computer from windows 8 for windows 7. I did it before I had done all the research on how this is something that will be super hard and give me a lot of problems. Evil goes through what I did so that we can try to understand what went wrong.
I tried to install windows 7, he said he did not support Legacy mode enabled, then I have partitioned the hard drive and erased everything, I used the GParted program. I was able to install windows 7 after that. I didn't think it through that I had not all drivers readily avalible to install on my computer. I made a post here and has been gently guided to were I could get some work drivers for my computer.
Now I am Reciving is that. I at randome times screen Get gel/pixilation - the pixilation isn't all over the screen right into small sections or small lines on the screen, the only way to deal with this is to make a manual stop by holding the power button. The other question I am reciving is also at randome times my computer will restart, and then start back upward with the error message that allows me to choose if I want to start in safe mode or not.
I understand that I could probably reinstall windows 8 and solve all my problems, but I don't have a windows disc 8 to do this. Any help would be really great.
This is a brand new computer I just picked up 12/06/2013 did a bad Hardisk sectors check no.. Do you have a RAM check all past and I have also not found that any errors in the event log.
Hey mmacegan91,
Windows 7 is not supported on your platform, no official drivers are available for that combination of operating system and platform, and so questions are likely.
That said, the best option is to install an operating system supported, that the system has been designed - in this case, Windows 8. If you did not create recovery media before you erase your drive, you will need to order some directly contacting HP Support (800-HP-INVENT).

Windows 7 screen freezes, freezes mouse cursor and keyboard freezes.
Hi all
About a month ago my internet kept cutting at about 02:00 in the afternoon - even if my BThub said it was a signal - and my internet access would not return until 05:00 sharp later that day here. This went on for about two weeks, it doesn't happen too much now, however, recently, something happens...
I have a desktop HP Pavilion s5000 and all day - every day - not only freezes my screen, if I'm online or simply type in a Word doc, but my mouse cursor and keyboard freeze too, all at once. It's as if all of the computer crashes, and the only way I can "unfreeze" it is cutting off the entire batch to the switch. In this case nothing three times a day to ten times a day. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and how I can try to solve it? I did a system restore, to restore the PC to a date earlier, I did this about five times now, but the problem persists.
Many thanks in advance,
Danni.

my Windows xp pro computer worked fine but after five days, when I stat my computer I could show only the bios information on the screen then the screen freezes, then I started ahead of time the computer starts at mode, but once again he the disply frozen. I couldn't start my computer. I have a lot of data in my hard drive. What can I do to start computer or recover my data?
First run Memtest86 +:
It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your memory
sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors, then your RAM is OK.

Recently installed Google Chrome and started to add some PC problems. This could be a coincidence, but I was wondering if the Chrome can somehow interfere with the operation of Windows. Thank you for any light on the topic.
Hi Anoop,
Thanks for your reply. I checked the links you recommended, but did not find anything of note when I checked the logs events or performance. (I can't seek enough carefully.)
Fortunately, the problem disappeared in the past few days and he can not Google Chrome to what has caused the occasional screen freezes. To answer your questions, Frost moved not just with Google Chrome, there is no error message and I have not recently updated the latest drivers.
In any case, at the moment seems to agree, and if a conflict between Windows and the Chrome is not a good experience then it's probably just a coincidence that I met problems with my shortly after its installation.
Once again, thank you for your help.

Laptop freezes on Windows startup screen (start)
Freezes my laptop Envy15-3000 starting up. It makes only to the Windows startup screen and then icons Microsoft stop moving. This has happened since Tuesday (8/12). I ran checks and the memory and hard drive (quick and full) test came back positive - i.e. without problems. I finally decided to reformat yesterday (8/14). He gets throughout the process of reformating until he wants to start the system for the "first time" (I guess this will be the last time it restarts in the recovery process) and always freezes on Windows startup screen. If I try to hard cock off and try any other start up option I can think (Safe Mode, etc.), it says failed to retrieve and asks me to try again, get the details or Save Log. When I try again, it goes back to freezing. Therefore, I am now in an endless loop of another attempt of the retrieve to access the windows screen start freezing.
All I want to do is wipe the hard drive and reload everything. I'm not interested to recover the old data I backed everything up. I have had no error messages on my sleeve it, memory, tests etc, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed. Help, please! Thank you.
PS: I have the original 7 provided with the system recovery/windows DVD player.
Hello
Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

All pilots additional and software that you may need are entering either the No. fullModel. or your notebook product number here.

Reinstall Windows 7 Pro on new 2 TB HDD freezes on Windows startup screen
My 160 GB hard drive crashed and I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro from the installation disc that came with my computer on my new hard drive 2 TB. I read the posts that took even freeze on Windows startup screen and I disconnected all devices and devices except the mouse and keyboard. I don't have 2 GB of memory simms, 8 GB installed, but has released simm all but one. I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Professional several times and whenever it crosses the screen of facilities, then when the computer restarts it freezes at the Windows startup screen. Help!
Evelyn,
(1) I have an idea which may simply not work. Install the software of Western Digital's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.
(2) then select / click on the Seagate 2 TB of disk.
(3) then click on the little icon above the list of player who scored "click to run tests.
(4) in the popup windows choose the option "write zeros". Click 'Start' and select the fastest two write options who writes zero for beginners / before the command and at the end / last sectors on the disk. It will take about 2 minutes or less. Once the zero finished writing your drive will be in a State of 'Raw' (just as if you removed from the box for the first time).
(5) open "Disk management", you should see a windows asking you to 'Initialize' the reader. Choose the MBR (Master Boot Record "option.
Now try to install Windows.

Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating
Hello world! :)
Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
(And sorry for my English)
Thanks in advance! : DHey Buddy,
I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction
But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
Check this box!

Toshiba U10 Docking Station causing screen freeze
After running my monitor external docking of th #rough the U10 my screen will freeze periodically. The only way to UN - freeze is to detach the PC and then re-dock.
I use a 32-bit laptop to Windows 7 with 3 GB of RAM. All drivers and patches are up to date and I have to update the U10 driver to the latest version, all this without any successful resolution.
Any help would be appreciated as it happens at least 4 times a day and is very annoying and embarrassing.
Thank you
Hello
I think that it of difficult to say what could be the problem exactly.
You are able to reproduce this issue? I mean you said that the screen freezes periodically does happen a certain application running?As far as I know the European Toshiba driver page provides the utility Dynadock v2.4.0.13 for Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit.
The v 2.1.4.4 Setup CD is also available for downloadMaybe you need to reinstall this even if you said, that you use the latest version of the software
I would also recommend test this Dynadock in relation to another PC
Maybe the laptop preinstalled software causes this problem. -

Satellite A100-049 stops loading at the Windows loading screen

It seems that the title has been changed from the one I posted, nothing wrong with that, but it is no longer accurate. It keeps loading the Windows loading screen, it freezes "before" that date. The Toshiba Logo POST screen, very first, you see when you turn on the laptop.
