my computer acer laptop with vista stops automatically after using it for a while...

anyone with any suggestions why this is so... I change my hardware, and I got service pack 2 installed.

Is vista home edition.

Hi oumzin


1. have you modes sleep or hibernation, working on the computer?
2. during how long have you had this problem?
3. what changes did you do before the show?
4. do you have the question start after the installation of service pack 2?

Method 1:

You can check if the problem happens again in safe mode. In safe mode; you have access to only the drivers and base files.
Check out the link to start the computer in safe mode and then check-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

 

Method 2:

If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can check in a clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.

 When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

I hope this helps.

  • My games suddenly stopped working on my laptop with vista SP 2 after a single pass?

    Ideas: I use a Gateway laptop with vista Home premium sp 2, AMD turion x 2 dual core x 64 bit, fitted an ATI HD 3200 graphics card. (The card is built-in.) He is more than capable of handling the Dead Space, Bioshock, big chase and combat arms and run each of them perfectly at maximum quality, except for dead space, which had to be alleviated a little to improve the speed and responsiveness.

    • Programs: Borderlands, Dead Space, Bioshock, Grand Chase, Combat arms.
    • No error message. Games freeze just to the preloader or splash screen. The processes are still ongoing, but there is no game window or the game got stuck on splash screen. (I have to 'end of process' to stop smoking completely.)
    • Recent changes made to your computer: just closed, each of these games after their execution 1 time, and they would not work again. Problem occurred after a standard, so that could have linked somehow.
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem: compatibility, analysis antivirus, cleaning Mode, running in as long as administrator, disabling firewall, protection against viruses, disabling the registry Disabling UAC, each administrator, update drivers for graphics card, system update, reinstall everything THAT I can think of who could fix this problem.
    • NOTE: I ran these games on another computer and they work fine. A solution to this issue has completely escaped me.

    Have you tried to reinstall or update your directX? or your visual c ++ Redistributable files? Sometimes, if this stuff is corrupted (and you won't know until you start a game generally because it stops working) and you need to reinstall such things.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  • I have windows7 64 bit on a computer acer laptop, but I want to change my OS to 32-bit. Is it possible with the same product key?

    Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

    I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?

    If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

    If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

    Hi Shannon6836,

    1. Since when are you facing this problem?
    2. you remember to make changes to the computer before the question?

    3. are you able to boot in safe mode?

    See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    Start your computer in safe mode
     
    If you are able to start in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned below to complete the restore of the system:
     
    Note: System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos. You can only restore files that you have deleted if you have made backups of these files.
     
    Method 2:
     
    I suggest you to disconnect all devices external one except keyboard and mouse and try to start your computer and check if it helps.

    Method 3:

    I also suggest you perform a startup repair and check if this solves the problem.

    Follow the steps below:

    a. Please insert the Windows Vista DVD and restart the computer.

    b. when we are invited to press a key to boot from the DVD, please press enter or the SPACEBAR.
    c. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    f. in the System Recovery Options menu, click on the Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.
     
     
    If the Startup Repair tool is an option of recovering preinstalled on your computer:
    a. remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.

    Restart the computer

    b. do one of the following:
    i. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    II. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
    III. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select repair your computerand press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include startup as a preinstalled recovery option repair).
    IV. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
    v. Select a username and enter the password, and then click OK.
    VI. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem and, if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.
