PC freeze when starting games

This is going to be a bit long, I hope that the details could shed some light on my problem. I have problems with the commissioning games. Whenever a game gets to a point where it begins to display 3d graphics, my system hangs. I have searched in many forums and found similar problems, but none of the fixes worked for me.

First of all, I am under 4G of RAM, Intel Pentium D processor, as well to 3.00 GHz and a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT.

A little background first of all. I played World of Warcraft on my pc for a few years now. Back in August, I fell prey to a fairly widespread worldofraids.com keylogger that took advantage of a vulnerability in the Flash Player. My account has been compromised, but restored by Blizzard. I cleaned the files infected my computer off manually, as AVG did not catch them and installed Kaspersky, who caught a few others that I had missed.

Over the next few months, I noticed decreases the performance of my pc. I would get about 35 fps in a fight against a boss, 15 3 next, after that, then on a picture by six seconds. Some of the members of my Guild suggested overheating, but another guildie told that my file has been flooded by debris from the keylogger. He gave me a list of programs to run (malwarebytes, smitfraudfix and ccleaner, among others). I followed his instructions, cleaned the infected nearly 200 registry keys and appeared for the raiding of next week without any problems (I even overcame damage for several fights counters).

Our raid week finished, and in the meantime I played torchlight through steam upward all night before our next raid day. When I logged in the next night, my graphics glitched descent and I was unable to play. The screen would Pixelize, the sound would start stuttering, and I got a bsod. The bsod's happened twice and every other time the pc could just lock or to restart. I thought that this could be a problem with WoW, so I loaded with torches and got the same problem.

My minidumps for the time, I actually got BSOD said being faulty nvidia drivers. I took my roommate's video card and put it in my pc and was able to connect to WoW without crashing, but my sound is released (Windows said it was due to an audio conflict). I put my card in the pc of a friend, and he ran wow without problem. I tried to update my drivers but also to roll back to the older drivers to no effect.

I carried out stress tests on my system and the memory passes, my cpu goes, virtually everything up to the gpu, which still crashes my pc without indicating why exactly. The motherboard seems in good condition, with no bulge or leak capacitors.

In my reading similar incidents, I thought that I might have some residual registry problems so I bought Windows 7 (as XP Media Center came pre-loaded on my pc) and a custom settled 64-bit, spares nothing. I downloaded the new drivers for everything and even updated the BIOS for my motherboard. I reinstalled WoW and it still crashes.
 
By raising the specs on my card, I noticed that it requires a minimum 400W power supply. Mine was 300W, although she had worked for more than a year without problem. Might think that any change in my settings fan or similar
be just enough power to defeat of drawing, I ordered a new power supply 550W. After replacing it, I fell again. I was able to connect only once for about 10 minutes after replacing the power supply, but the next time I tried to connect (several hours after turning off my pc) it crashes immediately.

I did not get a bsod since the first couple of times, so I don't have the minidumps for access. I have disabled the automatic restart, but which causes just my system hang when I crash and I have to turn off manually.

A couple of things more I noticed that may be linked: when I run WoW since the pitcher, usually the screen would go black temporarily and then proceed to the login screen. Since the problems started, in that brief moment where the screen goes black, it flashes a white text on the screen in a view type BACK. I was not able to read as it happens so fast, but he mentions shading and some other graphics settings. It's a short list of articles, about 10-15 lines.

In addition, from time to time at my computer at idle (not in mode "standby", usually when I'm playing my 360) I hear the speakers make a pop sound, similar to when you turn on the. I checked what could be a short circuit by touching the case, but everything seems to be fine. Electrical installation in my apartment is a little older, but I use my pc, monitor and speakers through an inverter.

I am quite at a loss what to do now, other than trying to replace my motherboard. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to try. Sorry it was a bit on the long side. Thanks in advance.

Hi digimicah,

Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

To troubleshoot BSOD, start your computer in Mode safe and check:
 
Here's how:
 
1. reboot your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
 
2 select Safe Mode when the Windows Advanced Options menu is displayed and press ENTER
 
If it works with Safe Mode, you can choose to run the clean boot.
 
You can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.
 
Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:
 
Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
 
1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
 
2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
 
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
 
3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
 
4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
 
Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
 
5. click OK and then click on restart.
 
Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
 
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
 
1. click the Start button, 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.
 
2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
 
3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
 
Looks like there is a problem with the display drivers.
 
As the posts above mention, the problem comes from your drivers.  BSOD crashes are usually caused by bad drivers (manufacturer's code).  With Windows 7 being again your manufacturer is not fully functional drivers.
Unfortunately, when this is the case there is little Microsoft can do that the problem is with the provider code.  I suggest you knock it down on their support lines (send your incident information) and tell them that you found accidents as a result of their hardware and drivers - they should open the relevant support for you tickets.

What you can try to:
 
1. update all the drivers (sound card, graphics card, etc...)
2. try to disable caching
3. try to disable virtualization
4. try to use the onboard sound with the updated drivers

Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers installed with the latest BIOS.

WARNING OF THE BIOS:

Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

I also suggest you to download and install the latest drivers updated.

If none of this works, try reducing to 2 GB of RAM.
If your Board has 3 or 4 locations, use only 1 and 2 housing

  • Equium A200-1V0: charger plugged freezes when starting laptop

    Hello
    My satellite developed a strange absence of the module.

    When the laptop is connected to the charger it does not start. LEDs light up, keyboard blinks once and the screen is bright, but it is completely empty (no Toshiba logo, no bios, nothing).

    There is however no problem when I start the system on battery (charger unplagged). If I plug the charger at any time during the startup of the system it freezes immediately. It does not strike, the mouse pointer does not move and the blue lights are solid. However the battery LED turns orange. I get the answer only to keep the power button down for 4 seconds - how well be able to disable.

    When I restart the laptop on the battery then only Vista starts without problems.

    Does anyone have an idea, what could cause this problem, switch power supply, motherboard, charger? Is there an easy fix for this?

    Could you please say how Toshiba deposit would charge to fix it?

    Thank you very much

    Hi arek_1,

    Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or is it a 3rd party charger?
    Can you charge the battery while the laptop is turned off?

    It is certainly a hardware malfunction, but either it s caused by AC/DC adapter itself or mainboard (load control).

    I put t know how much it cost to fix this problem, but just ask an authorized service provider. Guys you can make an offer how much it cost, and they must determine the laptop before determining what part needs to be replaced. ;)

  • black screen when starting games

    I have a hp pavilion dv 7 7004sl. recently when I try to open most of the games that the video does not start. the computer becomes just a black screen with sound play in the background. I checked for reqs game and my computer is way beyond recomanded ones. a have an ideea of how to solve this problem? (installed video drivers from hp.com for two video cards).

    I solved part of the problem. It seems that this had nothing to do with the drivers. I changed the settings of the video card 3d intel and I managed to make the games work with the video card intel. now, I have to just find a way to set options for the nvidia 3d video card. I will return with precision if I managed to make it work, the performance of the game are much better with this one.

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 frequently freezes when starting Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and updated upgraded to Windows 7 later. I have a problem in which case frequently the OS crashes during startup. This often happens and happens after the text "Starting Windows" appears, but before the windows logo appears. In this case I have to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to reset the system and bring back to life, Windows 7 starts normally after that.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 7 and it still does not work. I use the 32 bit version if that makes a difference. I installed all the drivers of Toshiba using the [Toshiba Software Installer | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2475695&pf=true] and the problem still persists.

    Hello

    Recommends checking the HARD drive first.

    There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test which can be downloaded from some 3rd party pages.
    The tool is free and helps you run HARD drive Diagnostics tests.
    If the HARD drive is ok, then the next step should be checking the RAM.

    Tools such as memtest86 + could be used to test the memory.

    But even if there is no error, the RAM could be affected again I recommend that you test the new notebook with Rams

    By the way: check if the BIOS is up to date!

  • Why TB does not freeze when I click on account settings? (Goes from bad to worse!)

    A few days ago, I posted a question about migration backup emails in TB. I got help, but not a definitive answer to my problems. Unfortunately, my wife and I seem to have created an additional problem which must be resolved before we return to the issue of migration of file. Now, TB freezes when I try to check the settings of an account. This may be due to our attempt to copy an old e-mail folder (file .sbd), in my current profile. That's how it happened:

    We copied a saved .sbd folder to
    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pnp8j2nf.default\Mail\Local records
    We have not seen any change in TB.

    Then, in TB, we created a folder under local folders, giving it the same name as the .sbd that we had copied. The content become so visible in TB.

    When I tried to check the settings of an account, TB has frozen. Restart TB did not help. Then we tried to go back to our previous steps by deleting the folder newly created in TB and .sbd file in local folders. I restarted TB and PC, but TB still freezes when we try to check the account settings.

    Think that we could have corrupted profile, we also renamed the 8 character profiles .default under C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles and C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, hoping TB would generate a new profile, but now the TB does not start without the profile.

    We wonder if we should remove profiles.ini or remove its contents to force TB to create a new profile. Any advice on which are originally the gel and how to fix? Thanks in advance.

    Apparent victory! I copied my saved files (trrevilc.default) to

    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles and edited profiles.ini, changing -
    

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =TB difficulty
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /kdtnv197. Fix TB
    Default = 1

    TO

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =PlanetXP
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /trrevilc.default
    Default = 1

    and Voila! my darlings old emails and accounts reappeared... even though I have an e-mail account w a problem.

    I'm still wondering (after I backup C:\Users\FF) the best way to remove the other profiles. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again.
