System freezing or blocking

Whenever I try to run a function that takes memory important, my laptop Acer Aspire 6930 (4 GB DDR) freezes and the small circle of rotation continues to run.  The functions that I try to perform the scanning by Webroot, open more than one Web site at a time, or try to download the software.  Also several times nothing happens when I try to stop through the start menu.  I have to shut down by pressing the power button.  Is it possible that I can have Vista analyzed and checked for errors online?

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

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 - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

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

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
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 - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

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

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

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • ABC causes system freeze

    I would be very grateful if someone could please tell me how to troubleshoot the cause of a system freeze.

    After that a BSOD caused by the premature elimination of a DVD of my d: drive, a program that I use frequently, ABC, was originally a complete system to freeze any moment, I try to run... it is Exact Audio Copy, a program that allows you to burn a cd, content analysis of files for loss/lossless music.  The only way to address the gel is through reboot cold.

    Here are the steps that I took so far... and maybe this will give you an idea:

    1. I uninstalled, but when I tried to re-install it ALSO caused a freezing of the system.

    2. in Safe Mode, I was able to reinstall them and run the program without problem.

    3. after the installation in Mode safe, but chasing after systematic startup, the system froze.

    So, I assume that there is a driver conflict...

    EventViewer does not seem to grasp the issue... nothing showed up.

    Are there other ways to understand the question?

    I am running XP Pro SP3, all the installed updates, on a Dell Vostro 220 s computers.

    Thanks a lot if someone can help me with this.

    Pter

    Just note if EAC still causes crashes while all other programs/processes are not running. If this is the case, then it has a bug or there may be a problem with one of your drivers. If there is no blocking, systematically add pack programs/process until there is a blockage. Essentially, you need to use the process of elimination until you isoliez the villain.

    Start by adding half back and then see if there is a blockage or not. You'll understand!

  • After the memory upgrade in Satellite A100-1401E the system freezes

    The laptop was initially delivered with only 512 MB of RAM.

    I installed 1 GB of RAM Kingston (part No. KTT533D2 / 1 g) into the remaining free memory slot. However, whenever I turn on the computer, the system freezes within minutes and I have to re - start.

    Is it because there is an uneven amount of memory in the 2 slots? I have 512 MB in each slot or 1 GB in each slot, etc.?

    I would like your advice.

Example - if I turn on the printer /plug in my Blackberry to synchronize the .laptop just going so slow that I have to do a reboot with the devices still connected to get the system working again. Running Vista. Any help please?

    Hello

    You see yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager? Maybe a driver isn't installed properly in the system freezes.
    In addition, I would try to remove the USB ports in Device Manager. After this restart your laptop and USB ports will be recognized again.

    Have you tried a BIOS update? If this isn't the case, you should do it. Before you begin the update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

    Last but not least try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. It only takes a few minutes and then you have settings to factory again! :)

  • D530 sff - freezes jacquard blocked screen - ideas?

    Hello

    My d530 sff freezes sometimes strange blocked screen - like psychedelic colored chessboard square on a blue background with a pattern. The squares shimmer a bit (which implies some treatment?), but it's totally unrersponsive.  The fault appears randomly and does not seem related to how long the machine has been run, nor his current mission (AFAIK). I can't cause the fault.

    It works under xp pro. I reinstalled xp on a different HARD drive and get the same, making me think it is not software/driver.  I've updated the BIOS, run memtest 86 + and premium 95 for hours and tests of material Inquisator and Ultimate Boot CD. They are all very well, making me think of the basic material is OK.  I considered the embedded video, but I can play movies on a network that is pretty intense...  With the lid, nothing in the area becomes too hot to the touch, although some chips and the plugs should be near 60 degrees celcius.  Radiator CPU fine to the touch.

    It would be easy to give up and say it's a weird mother board failure, but before I do any ideas?  The software matches the machine has more value than the box so I would rather not throw.

    Thanks for your ideas, Mike

    I extracted the zip file to install the Intel 14.16 package and installed manually from the Device Manager. Package Intel 14.17 absolutely did not work on every box of d530. This is the root of the problem which I faced instability.

    You can identify the controller by checking the properties of devices in the Devices.Look system for x or exclamation next to the drivers points, or if you see instances of "unknown device".

    SisoftSandra Lite will also identify the devices installed in the hardware section.

    As far as bad capacitors going that visually close should be enough. Search for leakages, bulging, distortion, a brown substance on or near the caps.

    So... in your systray, you see an icon of Intel graphics? That's what you should see if the graphic driver went well.

  • Updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Now my plugin Adobe Flash freezes and blocks all websites when it is turned on even if it's the latest version.

    Today updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Immediately after the update, I couldn't load most of the sites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the latest version of the plugin, I always have problems. Any suggestions?

    If anyone else has this problem I found a few options that may help you.

    I solved my problem by loading Waterfox, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox. I use a Windows 64-bit operating system, so this solution worked perfectly. If you want to download it, it can be downloaded here: http://waterfoxproject.org/

    It has also been suggested that I try to create a new Firefox profile. Since Waterfox works for me, I have not tried yet; However, I was told that it allows to solve several mysterious questions of Firefox with Flash. The directions for this can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

    I hope everyone can solve their problems of Flash Player and I recommend using the Adobe Forums as well. People there are very helpful.

    Hello

    I am the proud owner of a Qosmio F10 - 2 years now. I had a few problems and cell phone is repaired but I have a problem again...

    When I play a computer game with a little higher than Solitaire system requirements, he works at all first for an hour and a half - that the image freezes, my USB mouse get not more power and my only choice is to close Notepad. When I try to play it takes ten minutes maybe - and then the same thing happens again.

    The third or fourth time that happened my BIOS is returned to the default values. But alone, without my order to make. But nothing has changed...
    I guess he gets to hot or something like that, but I only guess and I know before it has repaired the third time that this problem exists. Someone had a similar problem and know what to do? (Instead of going to the store where I bought it).

    I have an update:

    Last night, while I was waiting for an answer here, I challanged my chance and I have not lost.

    I installed a tool called "Notebook Hardware Control" which can view log und properties of your laptop. No doubt more I would say that my CPU become too hot while playing - after a short time (a few minutes) the core reached a temperature of 80 ° and more and it's DEFINTLY too.

    What to do now? I tried to reduce the Voltage of the CPU, it works and my system has remained stable, but it reached 80 ° also... So I opened the laptop. Without any abnormality (important), I closed and went from disappointment and without any solution to the bed.

    Today, I'll try to play the same game again to see if the system has always crush or not AND I'll watch it.

  • Lenovo G510 Linux - system freeze downloading complete

    My Lenovo G510, with Qualcomm Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 Fast Ethernet Controller, almost constantly completely freezes when downloading via ethernet on Linux. In Windows 7, it works perfectly, so it's not a hardware problem. I tried various Linux distributions, 32 and 64-bit (Ubuntu 14.10, 14.04, Linux Mint Debian Edition, Fedora 20 etc.) -all behave in the same way. It always happens when you download large files (like a linux iso file) and sometimes even during the download of the smallest (such as trying to install applications of deposits online, or even try to update the repository of the respective linux distribution database). When freezing occurs, the system becomes completely insensitive, I can't yet move to another virtual terminal.

    I would try a bios update, but there is a newer version of the bios for my model on the lenovo site, it says that it's only for Windows 8 and 8.1 - which I do not, and I fear that it could interfere with the functionality of my Windows 7 operating system.

    How to solve this problem so that I am able to use linux, do you have advice?

    Update the bios to Version 79CN50WW (V3.09) solved the problem. Now it works perfectly.

    http://download.Lenovo.com/Consumer/mobiles/viwgq309.exe

    I don't know about you, but the update to the bios may need to be executed under Windows 8 or 8.1. I ran under 8.1.
