My computer constantly freezes after startup

Original title: System Hang

My computer freezes after startup or during startup. Whenever I look at the problems and solutions in Control Panel, it says that my nvidia graphics driver has stopped working properly and should be updated but I checked and installed the latest version. What else could I try? I would appreciate the help as I have had this problem before and it stopped for a while and started again.

Thanks-James

Hello

Yes, different drivers depending on the graphics card which is present in the system. I suggest to check the link below and download the drivers that are present in the link.

Vista 32 bit

Vista 64-bit

http://www.nvidia.com/object/Win7-WinVista-64bit-266.58-WHQL-driver.html

After having tried the steps, let us know if the problem is solved or not.

Thanks and regards.

  • HP G62 laptop computer: laptop freezes after startup

    After starting my laptop freezes.  How long after starting varies.  Sometimes it will freeze after only a few minutes. Sometimes it can be operational for an hour or two.  Want to know how to fix this.

    Tested hard drive and the Long DST failed.  Has given an ID of the failure of QAGCHR-5GH847-XDOO3A-61AKO3.  Product ID is XHO66UA #ABA.

    Hello

    Error code 24 characters is a failure of the entire test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the freezing issues you describe.

    If you want a guide on replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  • Computer screen freezes after inactivity

    I recently did a free my Norton anti-virus update to the new version 2011. After this update my computer screen freezes like 1 or 2 times a day. It occurs normally after I put mode "Eve" and go back to using it. After about 15 to 30 seconds, it will freeze sometimes.

    I don't know if it's related but I got a DEP Data Execution Prevention, pop up, but not when the screen froze. I performed a complete analysis of the system of Norton and not detected no viruses.

    I wonder if this new version of Norton has problems with windows? I use my computer for e-mail and the Internet. Do not download music, games ect...

    Any help would be appreciated.

    On your download Norton: I had similar problems and discovered how to do a clean install by getting rid of that most completely in the control panel and task bar completely so we start with the most recent. If you do not buy on line and using the disk, Norton technicians will likely send e-mail instructions since it's their program.  But read on some similar experiences I've had, it might help you.

    I finally got the taskbar, moved to the bottom of the screen, but in the meantime, I downloaded a software called ParetoLogic who claimed that he could fix the taskbar, but he did all the scans and has not set something on the taskbar, so I deleted and kept following the instructions in the task bar and got moved from the task bar.  Then I uninstalled the software called ParetoLogic, my office has begun to gel.  I have to shut down the computer manually, so I contacted the technician on their site and they sent instructions to fetch the menus of tasks that were set to run and the record, but when I finally found the tasks, I couldn't delete them.  I tried to close the Task Manager and he said that I could not close file until all dialog boxes are closed, and I could not find how to close the dialog boxes.  I do not know how to find it after searching for the bar of tasks and answers questions, so I had to click on restart and shut down everything, so I probably lost some information on the way.  I had a computer to lock my CD drive there are several antivirus and anti spyware software, making a few years I used McAfee more Att security program free that they have downloaded with my DSL internet. I didn't know until you have to do a clean uninstall before you try to download a newer version. The control panel will not remove or uninstall all of a program, there are always parts of it, still running in the system, and that's what happens to me today, so, maybe if clean you the old version first, then do a clean with the more recent, install which will probably do.

  • My new Windows 7/64 bit computer Dell freezes after being idle for 20-30 minutes

    Some basic information:
    (a) my laptop is brand new, I bought it less than a month ago and I started experiencing this problem in the beginning, very annoying.
    (b) my laptop freezes after inactivity for 20-30 minutes, I have to remove the power cable and reconnect it to restart the computer
    (c) the freezing happens daily when I have access to the Internet with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, no difference between these two.
    (d) I have Windows 7 Home Premimum with the latest updates.
    (e) I get no error message when the computer freezes, it freezes only when idle, as when I leave my computer for 20-30 minutes
    (f) I ran the disk check, I did the clean boot and I have configured the power setting, but the problem persists.

    Can someone help me? I searched this problem on the Internet and it seems to be a common problem with Windows 7. I've never had such problems with my previous computers with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    This isn't a common problem.

  • Update from 8.1 to 10 Windows: Photoshop elements 12 AND 14 freeze after startup

    With the operating system Windows 8.1, I could use item 12 until yesterday. Night of today, my computer has been upgraded to Windows 10 Professional. This morning began Eitems 12 without problems. But when I start the Photo Editor, then the program freezes.

  • New computer laptop freeze after power connection (there is a delay, not immediately)

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my laptop Fujitsu Amilo Li 3710 newly purchased. When I plug the power while the computer is turned on, it would freeze completely (no movement of the cursor or keyboard) I put off and then back on to fix. Often, but not always.

    But I realized that this isn't an instant freeze, because the laptop starts to load and changes the brightness of the screen according to the Power Options before the frost. So I guess it's not a motherboard problem.

    I disabled the battery in the Device Manager if the system will not recognize AC battery operation, the problem disappeared. But it won't let me see the remaining battery charge.

    My installation of Windows is fully updated. It's the SP2 of Vista Ultimate x 64.

    What can we do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for your answer, but I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem because I think I found the culprit who is "State of the PCI Express link" in Power Options that should be set to OFF.
    In addition, the laptop NOT Batt-AC swtich successfully, but when he FOLLOWS the rules Power Options, it freezes.

    Scenario:
    Charger plugged in,
    Battery charges,
    Changes in screen brightness,
    Gel.

    If it's a hardware problem, he would certainly like:
    Charger plugged in,
    FREEZE (as the power glitch will take effect so little time before dealing with the brightness etc...)

    Again, so far, the "State of the PCI Express link" seems have solved the problem.

    Any other explanation or the info is welcome from all over the world.

    Can someone please help

    Hi George,.

    You will need to use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system to a new disk - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set.  Looking at the model number of the laptop, I guess you live in the United Kingdom - if that is correct, you will need to use the 3rd party on the link below.

    HP recovery disks.

    For the existing personal data, you can have the existing drive, your best chance of data recovery would be to use the services of a company that specializes in data retreival, but it is a fairly expensive to borrow road.

    Another option, you can try (and much cheaper) would be to remove the HARD disk space, in an external enclosure - an example of what you need is on the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  • Satellite A300 immediately freezes after startup

    Laptop running this morning and got a warning from Norton telling that my Antivirus software has been disabled.
    I never turned it off before so could not understand this.
    In any case, I clicked on the icon of fix in Norton, but it's stuck on 7%.

    I could still move the cursor on the screen, but nothing would work. I tried CTRL + ALT + DELETE, but that made no difference.
    Shut down the laptop by holding the power button. Once re-boot returned to Norton to try the complete analysis of the system, but after a few minutes it may stuck as before.
    Once again restarted and connected to the internet but once again after a few minutes it may jam. It seems, no matter what I do, it only takes 4-5 minutes before locking up.

    I looked on other forums using pc at work for possible corrections. Similar problems appear to be at with good overheating that found a site that suggests, it might be Service Pack associated.

    Does this sound right?
    Any help please welcome.

    Please answer in bases, as I am not an expert.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think the software Norton Atntivirus could be the reason for your mobile number.
    It seems that this software does not work properly now, maybe you should reinstall it and update again.

    Or I have another idea.

    You could remove the software from the system and could switch to another tool called Avira Antivir I use this antivirus software and it s free and really big because this does not focus on the system such as Symantec's Norton.
    I read that Norton Antivir needs a lot of system resources. This might be the reason of your gel

  • Satellite C660D freezes after startup

    Hi all
    I've had my C660D for a couple of years now without any major problems arise. However, a few days ago I turned on all normal loading (the office completely), but the fan became very strong and the laptop froze and was insensitive.

    He continues to repeat this problem, it is usable for the best part of 2 minutes and then freezes again. I have managed to do the system restore and even taken apart to clear the fan on, but the problem still persists. I tried safe mode, but still get the same problem.

    Help, please!
    Thank you

    Hmm recommends to test the laptop as part of new memory modules.
    It might be possible that the gel is related to the problem of memory.

    Also a high temperature may cause issues such as
    If you didn t clean cooling in the past fans, do so using the jet of compressed air.

  • Windows 7 freeze after startup UEFI due to SSD

    It's a gel when installing 64-bit Windows 7 loading disk.sys during the UEFI boot.

    + "Windows 7 Setup has a problem of detection of Toshiba SSD +.

    Is there something to do which would make the installer of Windows 7 loader to work with the SSD drive?

    I read the discussion on the page of community from Intel.
    Looks like you already tried all possible solutions to install Win 7.
    Looks like that Win 8 can be installed correctly, but only Win 7 isn't possible.
    Not very well why this isn't possible, but his problems of SSD drive, you should try another SSD disk.
    Maybe it's a compatibility problem between the controller and a SSD drive.
