M6n113dx question - hardware or software?

Hey gang,

Just bought a refurb M6-n113dx with the fx 7500 and 8.1 Win. Several issues happening. Could use some advice if this sounds like a possible hardware problem, or is it just to win 8 8 Win.

-Display fell asleep and could not be awakened without rebooting.

-Start button opens, but inadmissible intermittently without rebooting.

-Windows updates crashes trying to download. (ran the repair tool, now gives two error codes, one being 8008008 or some such). Still hangs. Managed to download a few individual updates.

-Worker Installer Windowns involves large workloard processor, refuses to allow me to end it.

-Set Office rather slow upward from cold start. My old beat up ASUS with a processor Llano boots more quickly.

-The programs are generally just slow to load.

If it's just because that earn 8.1 just stinks, I can work around it (will buy an SSD anyway). But the hardware problems another question.

Any help appreciated. Thank you

Going to be weird and answer myself.

HD reformatted last night. Seem to clear up the problems in the system.  Can't say I'm surprised. Will report if new info arises.

  • T61 wireless hardware or software failure?

    When I finally used (in September), my wireless on this old T61 (6459-CTO) worked perfectly, but tonight I can't even view available networks. I know that my local network wi - fi doesn't work because the other devices can connect, but cannot see it or other networks of neighbourhood on this ThinkPad notebook. Suits the list of networks available in that it displays a message «Windows cannot configure this wireless...» "I am running Windows XP SP3, the machine is vintage 2008, ipconfig/all said the wireless card is a 11 a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter, Device Manager shows the device works correctly, hardware and software-defined radio (ThinkVantage) switches are on, and the wi - fi on the front panel led is bright and blinking occasionally. There were a few Microsoft Updates since wi - fi last worked, but nothing has changed to my knowledge. How can I determine if it is a software or a hardware problem? Thanks in advance - JCW2

    Download and burn a 'live' DVD in Linux, like mint and boot from it.

    If you are able to connect wireless here, the question is within Windows.

    If this is not the case, there is a problem with the hardware somewhere.

  • difference in the hardware and software calendar

    Hello world.

    I have a few questions about the time of hardware and software.

    1. What is the difference between hardware and software?

    2. What does hardware mean? PC or DAQ as usb 6211?

    3 when I use "DAQmx Timer", it means that I use the hardware timing?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Xiang00,

    >> 1. What is the difference between hardware and software?

    Hardware timing is more accurate, because it uses the on-board clock. Avoiding the is less precise because it depends on the performance of the PC.

    >> 2. What does hardware mean? PC or DAQ as usb 6211?

    "Hardware" means the hardware such as USB-6211 DAQ.

    >. 3. when I use "DAQmx Timer", does this mean that I use the hardware timing?

    Yes. You can find more information in the knowledge base DAQmx Timing and sampling frequencies.

  • Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    Windows XP SP3 problem

    Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

    This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

    It's certainly interesting!

    If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
    SHOULD work!
    I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
    Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
    and try the SP3 Setup file again.
    But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
    1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
    2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.

  • Can you identify this element of Vista installed at the factory... it is hardware or software?

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion Media Center under Windows Vista Home Premium. I am trying to solve a problem with the TV Tuner. I tried everything I can find to solve the problem, but without success. I just need an answer to this...

    On the bottom of my computer, I see a list of hardware and software that has been installed at the factory. I am interested is displayed as "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium TUNER DIGITAL".

    My question: is - this software or hardware? If it is a software, I can't find to uninstall and reinstall, which is what I would do. If it is hardware, what it look like? I would like to locate and replace it.

    Thank you

    Back to the original question, to which I have the answer. "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium DIGITAL TUNER" is Microsoft Vista which is loaded on the hard drive. It is NOT hardware and software it's my operating system.

    There is no guessing what is in my PCI-E slot. It's My Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT 1024 MB graphics card. There is no tuner embedded, or "video" as you call it.

    To finalize my contributions to this post, I have fixed my original problem I came here looking for advice for in the first place. It's actually a corrupt Windows operating system file that runs my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the TV tuner works fine.

    Thank you for making at least an attempt to help out me. As you can see, over 6 billion people on the planet, only came forward... I appreciate it.
