  • I had 3 BSOD relate to the windows kernel.

    Original title: BSOD (s)

    I had three BSOD on this installation of current w7 and all three of them are different.  According to bluescreenviewer, they relate to the windows kernel and a few others.

    (1) ntoskrnl.exe + 6f880 (03/09/2013)
    (2) fltmgr.sys + 323F (16/08/2013)
    (3) Win32k.sys + a4852 (22/07/2013)
    I run seatools since im using a drive hard seagate and it has passed all the tests achievable even a 6-hour test. There is no fragmentation on the hard drive.
    I also ran memtest86 for 6 hours and found no results.
    Also, I don't have Norton anti-virus. I have Avast running.
    My conclusion is faulty ram due to the error page file, but it could be a corrupted Windows file system. Given that the error spread both wise, it's hard to say its ram however.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Games also locked up for a while but that could easily be linked to the gpu, ram or hard drive.
    Photo included bluescreenviewer with the three listed.

    So far it seems SP1 and removal of third party AV software will do.  I'll post if happen again.

    After the period of time, the laptop is rented for me.

    Can I install a genuine version of Windows on it according to the sticker on it (I understand that this sticker means that an authentic version is sold with the laptop).

    You need a new installation code, none of your business.

  • Question related to the upgrade to Windows 8.1

    I currently have a HP laptop with 4 GB of Ram and 64-bit Windows 7 SR1 running. I'll give this computer to my wife, that his old bridge is going Tango-uniform (UT). I bought a new Lenovo SmartCheck S535 with 6 GB Ram 1 TB of storage. It came with Windows 7 SR1 already on board and he also included disks for Windows 8.1. First of all, I did a set of boot rescue disks and start them on the side.

    But now, I have a question, do I have to transfer my files from HP to Lenovo so that both use Windows 7 SR1? Or. should I go ahead and upgrade the OS and transfer the files.

    I'm sure that happens with a lot of people, there will be a lot of programs that I keep less re - install on the new computer. They are trash who are picked up along the way for those of us who use or service of computers as often we brush our teeth. Oops... maybe it's not such a great comparison, but you get what I mean!

    So, I would be very interested to hear your advice, your success, Yes and even a failure or two, all for the purpose of education.

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from some of you.

    Original title: which came first - the chicken or the egg? (So to speak!)

    As a system dual boot, the only place where the 2 operating systems interact is the bootstrapper. Windows 8 will take the priority, is somewhat different, as far as it goes, and if you select then Windows 7 system reboots so it can do a little slower. Of course, there will be a loss of disk space but you are then also 2 installs of Office and everything else.

    If you were to go down the possibility to buy a kit Windows 8.1 you avoid the need to do a complete reinstall, because it will improve instead. You also avoid the need to run the upgrade of the store from 8 to 8.1. You must decide if the cost is justified, but in your situation, I would seriously consider that option as well.

    Even if I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 I made the full switch and are accustomed to him, I'm sure you will as well.

  • Please help with questions related to windows/bootcamp.

    I understood the basics of bootcamp, but how I'd buy windows, so how would this work? Like, I download the ISO file, run bootcamp, set up, everything. Then the Mac start up in windows, where you must enter the product key. Can we just buy a microsoft product key? Or should I buy a downloadable version of windows, that would say the differences between a download, a drive and a drive flash, and how to define us as upward with bootcamp, what method do we use the ISO version downloaded to?

    Thank you!

  • My question relates to the use of Windows Vista Edition backup Home Premium 32-bit

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit backup to create a backup on an external hard drive files. the disk is almost full, I noticed the backup appears to create a new set of files each time that it will consume a considerable amount of space.  Is it safe to delete old files to free up disk space as current backup do not complete due to lack of space. I don't want to lose all the essential files in the erase process.

    Yes, you can delete the old files, because they are not needed when the new backup is created.
    My suggestion is to set up a backup incremental and will ovewrite the old backups so that you don't have to delete old backups.

  • Question related to the removal of Windows 8 and installing Windows XP

    Please could someone help me, I need/want to remove windows 8 of my ASUS laptop and install windows xp, no matter what I do, I can't the laptop to boot from the CD-ROM drive.

    Any help would be great, thanks in advance

    was soon Liz

    The first thing you should check with Asus to see if readers of Windows 7 are available for your computer model. not all manufacturers provide these. Otherwise, you need to consider to return the computer and buying one with Windows 8.0 Pro for the right to demotion or buy one with Windows 7 installed. Another thing to consider is that some computer manufacturers you want to change the operating system as your warranty. Once you find that drivers are available and you decide to go down just to buy a copy of Windows 7 and install like any other operating system. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  • Question related to the Re-installing Windows 8

    Hello

    I have a friend whose PC was completely rerouted via phone calls and credulity.
    My cheapest option, which she agrees with, after a lot of time to try to repair, restore etc is totally reinstall since his record of windows 8 . Unfortunately, the dealer had installed and not given him the key on paper. No phoning, there was no support.

    Y at - it a temporary product key that can be used with the disc to re - install the OS?

    No key is required: provided with Windows 8 computers have a built-in product key.  Simply run your recovery system and you will be provided "new factory".

    There are several way to do.  There are two built-in options of Windows (which I saw in #3 and #4 on this page).

    There is also a system of recovery of the manufacturer.  As you probably know, most of the machines are supplied with recovery disks more, they just put in another partition on the hard drive.  You can usually get in this revival by restarting while clicking the option to reboot on Windows login page.

    If you are unable to login screen to use the shift + option to reboot, most manufacturers have prepared with their own solutions. My computer Vaio from Sony has a button of special pinhole that I had to press with a paper clip to enter into recovery mode.  Other manufacturers have other options, some require a USB thumbdrive to enter recovery, or a CD.

    At this point, you probably want to contact Asus to know which recovery method they use.  I hate to bring bad news, but they'll probably say "why did not a recovery USB disk? (as if someone creates their own set of disks of repair when they receive a new computer).

    Help a friend with a Dell laptop (did not have a problem, but wanted a clean install anyway), Dell sent us a free night FedEx ship from a restore CD. ASUS could be so kind. I know that Sony was not. If the recovery of my Vaio button didn't work, they wanted $60 for a CD!

    Anyway, the manufacturer is your best bet.  Whether they have a built-in collection, or what options they recommend.  It is different for every company, so I can't be more specific, I'm sorry.

  • Questions, communicate with a Windows domain controller

    I thought at first my user had a problem with Keychain and had finally called Apple Tech Support.  While on the line with Apple, we proved that it was not a question of Keychain, but rather a problem of communication with a windows domain controller. The key elements are:

    * Multiple users and Macs are members of an Active Directory multi-domain forest

    * iMac is a 27-inch, mid-2011w / 8 GB RAM

    * OS X 10.11.2 (updated 10.11.3)

    * Question appears isolated to this iMac (currently). All other iMac, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro is currently very well, several VIRTUAL LANs, and a MacBook connected to the connection of network iMacs can communicate properly with the domain.

    * iMac seems not to contact no matter what domain controller when connecting, but connects to the resources of the network and domain controllers, after login. Permissions and access to the resources appear normal after login.

    * User (s) cannot change passwords for mobile accounts or login with new mobile accounts, but accounts/passwords cached work very well.

    * iMac uses Symantec EndPoint Protection for Mac (anti-virus) – REQUIRED BY THE POLICY.  I can't change.  I have come off for the test, but must replace as soon as the test is completed. This policy is set at a level about five grades of remuneration above me.

    * It isn't really everything off the coast of the wall software installs on the computer.  The full Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is responsible, but so it is on just about every other mac I support.

    The steps that have taken place:

    (1) about a month ago, the user went to change his password, but wouldn't go to change password at the login window.  We were able to change their password on the network and could use the new password to connect to the network Active Directory controlled resources. We can connect to resources network successfully with the new password, after we connect locally with the old password.

    (2) we get the red ball (the network resources are not available) to the login window. We are basically connecting with identification and passwords cached information.

    (3) if we try to change their password through the system preferences / users and groups / / password Chang, we get the message that no domain controller is available.

    (4) initially thought that it was a matter of trousseau, and we ended up calling Apple support, since Keychain first aid is no longer available in 10.11. Apple-Advisor while that remote, showed where it was not a question of Keychain because we could not change the password on the domain, because the iMac didn't communicate with a domain controller.

    (5) while on the phone with Apple, we reset SMC and NVRAM without success.

    (6) If you are going to untie the iMac in the domain, a message that the system cannot communicate with a domain controller.

    (7) today, thinking that maybe there was a hardware problem with the ethernet connection, tried to use the private WiFi network. Still would not communicate with a controller domain, but, as if using the wired, could connect to network resources. This happens independently attempted account.

    (8) used a MacBook on its network without any problem, it is not the connection port or switch

    (9) moved his iMac to another connection on one VLAN different. Same question.

    I'm open to suggestions. I have two days to work on this subject, around the planning of production of the user, while I'm off site for a week.

    10) thinking that maybe it was something that happened with 10.11.2, he improved to 10.11.3 today. No change.

    I don't want to try to clean and recharge its iMac, in the hope that this clears up the issue.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    A few additional tests.

    (1) Symantec deleted using Symantec CleanWipe, without modification. Has been reinstalled after additional tests and a reinstallation of the operating system.

    (2) being ran reports, visualization and research now, but nothing is really coming out as noticeable. Only problem seems to be a helper of Adobe

    (3) use a bootable USB key and had no problem with the thumb drive version, this isn't somehow a hardware problem.

    4) entered the recovery partition and the re-installed El Capitan, in the hope that perhaps, is a pilot or something in the protocol stacks have been corrupt, a reinstall would correct. Reinstall has not corrected the problem.

    I'm really strongly leaning towards here is something in a plist or somewhere configuration file that is corrupted, but I don't know where this would be right now.  Will continue research and testing. Last resort will be a wipe up to bare metal and a clean install. I will not migrate the profile of the user, but only its working files.

Maybe you are looking for
