• Hard drive being highly accessible all few seconds, although it is, the computer crashes

  Since about 3 days (or at least that is the oldest I noticed it, but he couldn't have done it much earlier) my computer was freezing for 3-4 seconds, while the hard drive turns on solid. This occurs regardless of whether the computer is nothing or not constantly every few seconds. I went around the internet looking for ideas, but nothing I tried to (disable superfetch, windows search, start in safe mode, update drivers, looking for the raid drivers, disarm avg, defragmentation and simply drop each program without importance, I can get away with) had no effect.

  The computer is an Alienware M15x, I got less than two months ago (totally awesome Christmas gift). It has Windows 7 Home Edition premium on it, a hard disk of 500 GB that says all diagnostics works very good and 6 GB of ram, I had AVG Antivirus on it too (until I took it in the attempt to solve this problem), and the protection of the system (the backups and whatnot) was already disabled. I also did a restore system before it started doing this, but which did not help either.

  The only problem it says that appears when I generate a health report to the system that is the disk queue length average 2-3 and going as high as 30. I can sit and watch points every 2-3 seconds since the resource monitor, which coincides with the HDD light will the computer crashes. It does even in safe mode, and it made all the games freeze market too.

  I'm completely at the end of my tether here and nothing I tried worked, is there something I'm missing here?

  Absolutely nothing worked, I'll try to reinstall windows, and if that does not do, Alienware will repair this one way or another. Thanks for the suggestions so.

  (edit a few hours later)

  I reinstalled, and it always does, so the hard drive needs to be spoiled. guess I must return.

• try to uninstall service pack 3, but the computer crashes

  Service Pack 3/Pagemaker problems

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition. None of the Adobe CS2 programs allow me to open the old Pagemaker files.  It gives the error message: file is damaged.  According to my research, the problem with Service Pack 3.  The research also tells me that the solution is the removal of the service pack.

  When I try to remove Service Pack 3, the computer crashes.  Are there other solutions?

  Problem is not with the help of CS2 in itself - it works fine...  Apart from the fact that none of the CS2 programs will allow me to open Pagemaker 7 or old Pagemaker files.

  Who should have nothing to do with the level of service pack for XP!

  Yet once, if there is a problem, uninstall and reinstall CS2. But as you know, CS2 is quite old and is no longer supported. If this feature is important to you, I guess using the current version would be the way to go.

  Hello

  The first couple of line indicates a problem with your Nvidia video drivers, so that would be the starting point. Download and install a fresh game, update for your system here:http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

  Uninstall the current set through the configuration/programs and features Control Panel, then reboot and install the new set. Do not install only the new on the 'old'.

• The computer crashes; slow to start; Not relevant

  It's all thanks to IT.

  Hello

  You will have to provide much more information to help. Some questions are:

  (1) what you were doing when the computer crashed? What programs have been opened? Running?

  (2) you online were at the time? Had recently downloaded anything? You have applications antivirus and anti-malware on your computer? Have you run analyses with these programs? If so, what was done and what show?

  (3) what do you mean exactly by "inadmissible"? You can do something, or is it just sit there doing nothing? When you say 'slow start', which is just an impression or you timed? If you have timed the start, what are the gaps of time?

  (4) depth OS and little do you have? How much RAM do you have? What and how many programs you load at startup?

  This is the starting point to determine what might happen. There may be more questions that need to ask, but until you have answered these questions, there is little I can do to help you.

• the computer crashes when video Skype calling

  OK, so during a video call, the other night, my laptop Averatec running Windows XP home overheated and shut down, I restarted, since then when I go to the video conference on Skype, my computer crashes, restarts and gives me several different answers, for example a blue error screen, malware, software spies ect in conflict.

  Since this place has started, I took the following steps and not to find another solution.

  • check disk
  • updated Sytem
  • Update driver
  • Update directX
  • Uninstall / reinstall Skype
  • installation of mcafee
  • Disk Cleanup
  • removal of unwanted emissions

  I can't understand what other solution to use

  Other that the timelysupportof the right answer, you could do things * methodically * and in the following order:

  1. Uninstall Skype.
  2. Update your web maison.* of manufacturers motherboard chipset driver
  3. Update your audio device driver, since manufacturers web maison.*
  4. Update your video device since the manufacturers driver web maison.*
  5. Update your network from the Web pages of manufacturer (s) device driver. *
  6. Reboot and install CCleaner.  Run and cleaning of loose files it finds.
  7. Download and install MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware (FREE for BOTH) and run scans of complete system with each of them (one at a time) and remove all found each of them.
  8. Open the registry and find the Skype entries and remove them.  Everything you find.  HKLM and HKCU areas in particular.
  9. Reboot again.
  10. Run a CHKDSK on all readers
  11. Perform a defrag on all readers
  12. Reboot again.
  13. Visit http://winodwsupdate.microsoft.com/ and install all the updates that are not optional (optional and hardware software optional can be ignored) and who do not update anything you don't want to update (such as Internet Explorer, etc.)
  14. Restart and repeat 13-14 until you have updated not more not optional, you need to install.  Reboot once more for good measure.
  15. Download the latest version of Skype and install it. Reboot before running it.

  * If possible, go the real manufacturer - not the whole machine - but the device.  For example, if you have an Intel chipset based motherboard, download the drivers for it to Intel.  If you have a video device nVidia, download the drivers for it from nVidia.  If you have a Broadcom network device, download the drivers for it from Broadcom.  If you have a RealTek audio device, download the drivers for it from RealTek.  And so on...

  If, after doing all this in this order, it still does not - it is probably a hardware problem or a Skype number.  However, you might try ONE last thing.  SFC/scannow.  You will need your Windows XP CD-ROM.

  After that - you are really left with material/Skype or something messed up so you might resign yourself to try a full installation of fresh erase (although I wouldn't do if I couldn't have my disk image and send it to where it was before I tried.)

  It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool if you have corrupted files

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

  ===========================================

  Vista and Windows 7 the love of the updated drivers that can drastically affect the performance so I would update the main
  drivers.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
