video game screen causes blue/black screen/freezing

Hoping for help:

For some time, I watch any kind of video on my laptop cause a total melt down.  Without warning, appears to be going black and silent, black and his jumping like a disc, or will blue screen and then immediately the black.  It happens almost every time I watch the video, be it online tv or DVD programs.  Normally, I can manually put turned the laptop off and restart with no problem, but I am concerned about the long-term effects on my system.

I checked that my drivers are up to date, and they are.  Any other suggestions?  Also: the problems multiplied when I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.

Help is greatly appreciated!

  • Now 23-d044 - installed MXM video card - HP Envy screen flashes red green blue black

    Hello

    I'm a 23-d044 I wanted to do the update/install video card instead of using the integrated graphics card.  I tried two different cards, a nVidia GeForce GT 540 m 2 GB and a part of HP AMD card #707804-002.  In each case the applied heat sink was part HP #694456-001. In each case, whenever I go back to the PC and it works, the screen flashes red, green, blue, black, white to infinity. I have read these and other forums indicating that this is a fault with the GPU, but I find that is unlikely given that I tried two different cards. I thought that maybe the MXM connection on the motherboard, but on the original motherboard power connector was defective, I have since replaced the motherboard (about 2 weeks ago) with the same part number. I downloaded both the AMD and nVidia drivers the most recent for each card (while running the integrated graphics card), but not joy.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sean

    Sean, I had the same problem too.  I finally thought to it.  Just above where the grafics card go is two connectors and one of them has a plug in there.  above the connectors, said uma_lvds, the other says MXM_LVDS.  Swap the power cord of the uma_lvds to the mxm_lvds.  This will fix the problem and you will be running.

  • Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

    Hello world! :)

    Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
    The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

    I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
    Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
    So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

    With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
    Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
    The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

    So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
    (And sorry for my English)
    Thanks in advance! : D

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

    But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    Check this box!

    It is so what happened, I was playing my video game, then my computer went this blue screen and froze, so I unplugged the computer and restart, but after he showed the microsoft logo, he went into this blue screen during the second half and restarted, so I tried safe mode, but it didn't start either , so I tried to not turn off when the error occurred, or something like that, then I got the code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, STOP: 0 x 00000050.

    Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network.  Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties.  Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600).  Accept the changes and restart the computer.  You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now.  Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.  Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop).

  • I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen

    I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.

    Hi Haolin,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the computer?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • When was the last time it worked?

    Video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

    Try the following troubleshooting procedures in the order. If the steps described in the first procedure does not resolve the problem, continue to the next procedure.

    Step 1: Reinstall your video driver

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click file, and then click new task (run).

    4. In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    5. Click on the Start button , go into the Device Manager in the start search box, and then, in the search results, click on the peripheral Manager.
    6. Double-click on display the cards, right click the display device, click Update driver software, and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears. You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.

    Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

    Step 2: Search for registry problems

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click fileand then click new task (run)

      In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    4. Click on the Start button , type regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click on regedit.exe.
    5. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    6. Click to select the WinLogon key and then in the right pane, click on Shell. The value of shell in the data column must be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell is not explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the value data text box, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    7. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.

    Step 3: Start the computer in safe mode and run system restore

    1. Click on the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.
    2. Do one of the following:

      • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

      • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.

    4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

    5. Click on the Start button , type "System Restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    6. Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.

    7. Restart your computer normally.

    Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

    If these steps resolve the issue, you are finished. If not, try to repeat the steps and chooses an older restore point (if available). If that does not resolve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

  • On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    If you encounter blue screen crashes, this majority refers often to an incompatibility with a device driver, especially the graphics drivers. Go to Firefox Safe Mode and disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

    Assuming that Firefox is closed:

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. You should get a small dialog box. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    (If Firefox is running, use Help > restart with disabled modules to call the dialog box.)

    In Firefox, open the Options of the Advanced tab dialog box:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This will take effect after you exit Firefox and start it up again (in normal mode).

  • Toshiba Kira - screen flashes red green blue black

    Hi all

    I have a Ultrabook Kira I bought last year and it worked fine until about 3 months ago.

    But now he has a problem with the screen as follows.
    She suddenly starts cycling continuously full-color on-screen, and then sometimes it returns to normal for some time and randomly goes back again to the annoying cycling colors.

    Depending on the problem, it will loop the following exact sequence of colors: red, green, blue, black, gray.

    I don't think that it is a loose cable problem because it goes into the problem and comes back without any movement of the machine.

    I mean, the machine itself starts the dysfunction and restores normality by itself.
    These days, I can't work without an external monitor, since the problem is now practically constant.
    I've updated the bios but the problem remains.

    I searched for this problem all around the internet and could see that many people, who bought this laptop model, have the same problem. Thus, it seems to be a failure of the design.

    Thank you!

    > These days, I can't work without an external monitor, since the problem is now practically constant.

    For me, it would mean that the graphics card is OK and the problem must be linked to the internal display.
    However, it looks like hardware problem and that's why I recommend you contact the after-sales service provider authorized to set especially if the warranty is still valid.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • Toshiba U10 Docking Station causing screen freeze

    After running my monitor external docking of th #rough the U10 my screen will freeze periodically. The only way to UN - freeze is to detach the PC and then re-dock.

    I use a 32-bit laptop to Windows 7 with 3 GB of RAM. All drivers and patches are up to date and I have to update the U10 driver to the latest version, all this without any successful resolution.

    Any help would be appreciated as it happens at least 4 times a day and is very annoying and embarrassing.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that it of difficult to say what could be the problem exactly.
    You are able to reproduce this issue? I mean you said that the screen freezes periodically does happen a certain application running?

    As far as I know the European Toshiba driver page provides the utility Dynadock v2.4.0.13 for Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit.
    The v 2.1.4.4 Setup CD is also available for download

    Maybe you need to reinstall this even if you said, that you use the latest version of the software
    I would also recommend test this Dynadock in relation to another PC
    Maybe the laptop preinstalled software causes this problem.

  • Video games appear small on the screen

    Whenever I start any video game - it will not honor the mode setting full-screen. Never seen this on any other computer before. Is there some sort of special setting that I need to travel?

    Have you tried to check the display settings of your game? Maybe you can change the resolution there. Play several games like COD2, COD4 and the need for speed on friends Qosmio G30 I didn t notice something like that.

  • Can cause of Google Chrome that any general Windows questions as screen freeze or startup problems? Thank you.

    Recently installed Google Chrome and started to add some PC problems. This could be a coincidence, but I was wondering if the Chrome can somehow interfere with the operation of Windows. Thank you for any light on the topic.

    Hi Anoop,

    Thanks for your reply. I checked the links you recommended, but did not find anything of note when I checked the logs events or performance. (I can't seek enough carefully.)

    Fortunately, the problem disappeared in the past few days and he can not Google Chrome to what has caused the occasional screen freezes. To answer your questions, Frost moved not just with Google Chrome, there is no error message and I have not recently updated the latest drivers.

    In any case, at the moment seems to agree, and if a conflict between Windows and the Chrome is not a good experience then it's probably just a coincidence that I met problems with my shortly after its installation.

    Once again, thank you for your help.

    Kevin.
