  • Satellite L350-24U: Windows Vista crashes after installing SP2

    Hello

    I own a Satellite L350-24U laptop with Windows Vista 32. I bought in October and had to reinstal the OS twice now. Still, it crashes after installation of Service Pack 2. After you restart the system, a blue screen appears, giving the following information

    STOP: 0 X 00000024 (0 X 00190444, 0X86B9BAD0, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000)

    I had to reinstall Win Vista with HDD Recovery from Toshiba (press F8, then repair etc.) and everything worked properly again.
    THS time, it's more serious. Last night the system shut down whenever you use internet explore (after about 30 seconds). SP2 has not been installed, but there are so many problems, I decided to install SP2, because I hoped that the bugs I had with SP2 would be eliminated. When installing SP2, the system crashed again, and now I got the same bluescreenmessage new.

    I tried to reinstall Vista, but the Toshiba HDD program starts no more: it is said: the installed program is not working (or something similar) - please click on ok to close.

    I did not burn the cd of recovery yet, so I don't know what more can be done and online support is closed today.
    I'd really be very happy for any help
    Thank you

    Hello

    I searched a bit on the Microsoft Web site and on the blue screen, I created this article:
    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-GB/library/ms793935.aspx

    So I think that the reason for the BSOD is a corrupted file system or a defective HARD drive. You should check the drive using the Drive Fitness Test for example.

    I put t understand why you didn't burn the disc of recovery yet. Why you didn t read the manual at first?
    Now, you have only one option to get a new recovery disk: Please order a new Toshiba directly: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Vista crashes after having been slowed problems please help

    Vista freezes after inactivity after 10 + minutes. then the only way to get it back to a difficult start. Had this problem for over a year. I tried every fix suggested here and on other forums. I reinstalled windows, about 8 - 10 times in the last 18 mos. I have a HP Pavilion a1720n with Vista Home premium Service Pack 2 32 bit OS., core 2 duo intel viiv cpu 6300 1.87 GHz, 320 GB hd, 1 GB of ram. I replaced the video card NVIDIA graphic card, reinstall the ram and same half pulled then switched to another, tried the fix of the pagefile, changed the keyboard and mouse, did the thing to clean boot, msconfig-services-disable all, startup - uncheck some or most, among a hundred other suggestions. None of this has helped.  It does not freeze as long as I'm sitting in front of it using the keyboard or the mouse. It only happens when I walk off the pc for more than a few minutes.  Windows defender is stopped.  I have AVG 2012 but normally I have more than Mcafee, even if there is still an active subscription, I haven't added since reinstalling windows 2 days ago.  I scanned it with malwarebytes program and he comes clean. Virus scan is clean.  I noticed that whenever I have reinstall windows, it's usually after the installation of the updates that it begins to freeze again.  I paid almost $900 for this pc and expected to last longer without this problem. Someone at - he no clue as to how I can solve this problem for good? Help, please. Thank God I have another pc as a backup.

    Well, I decided not to buy a new hard drive after all. I reinstalled windows, once again, the only thing I did different this time around is format the hard drive rather than reinstall.  It's been 4 days since I did it and my pc was no freeze ups at all... yet.

  • Vista crashes after using it for a few minutes and then does not start (after a few hours - it starts and again the same problem)

    I'll have this weird problem and did not find the problem. Suddenly my laptop (Lenovo Y710 - 4 GB RAM - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit) crashes after a few minutes of activity, Vista freezes. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work. If I force close to the bottom and then try to restart, it do display anything. I tried to start in safe mode, but after pressing f8 and it only beeps and still doest appear anyting on screen you. If I try to start the laptop after a few hours it starts again and minutes it freezes again. I noticed this problem for the first time when using RDP to my desktop, but it wasn't the first time I've done RDP. I have not installed new hardware or drivers. Am not able to nail the question, would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    This is no doubt hardware failure. The laptop could be overheating and/or other components could be involved. Contact Lenovo technical support or take to a competent local computer Tech do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    If you have a pretty good level of computer skills, you can test some components yourself although it is more difficult to make accurate material on a laptop computer troubleshooting.

  • Recently made an update to my vista machine, but it turned to be updated to microsoft windows.

    recently did an update and it seems to me that my vista has changed to microsoft. (bing) Is there a differnce between microsoft update and updates to vista? Seems fair to me, things are different. Even my outlook says that it is not authentic. Please help me.


    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Regarding the "outlook... is not genuine' question:

  • Vista crashes after update 10/02/10 - different symptoms

    My old Dell Inspiron desktop computer to 2 year began to break down last week after the updates of Windows.  Equipped with Vista.  Initially, tried as well repair and restore options CD of Vista without result.  Finally, reformatted my hard drive and installed a clean Vista.  Machine worked for 2 days, before crashing again.

    The symptoms are:
    1. the machine will start normally in Windows.  Before desktop is fully charged (for example, with the sidebar, etc.), screen is tinted yellow everywhere, mouse will be usable for a few seconds, then the screen will turn black (and monitor goes into power save).  At some point during this "crash", also spaced (semi-transparent) blue vertical lines appear across entire screen.
    2. when to restart after above, screen resolution will be wrong / fuzzy.  If I hit F12 to access boot options, screen will often be blurred, as if the 5th or 6th characters are displayed.
    3. when to reboot, usually see a series of alternating blue and black lines vertical on the screen (as in 1, above).
    4. the machine will go into safe mode and will apparently operate for at least an hour (longer that I tested) without crashing.

    Note that, after doing the cleaning Vista install, I reinstalled manually all the Windows updates in chronological order from 2007 to 2010.  I deliberately did not install updates of February 2010.

    Help, please!

    I appreciate the response.

    Other threads that I've read have concerned me about rootkits atapi.sys and iastor.sys.

    Given that I am able to boot in safe mode, and now (after the 'clean' Vista installation and reformat my C drive) with several hours of availability after normal boot, am I probably not a problem of rootkit?

  • Vista crash after update

    confused...
    after update vista Home premium my laptop for all programs crash

    You don't say whether or not you start Windows Vista.

    Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

    1. a System Restore to before the updates:

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

    If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

    If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

    Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

    Complete restore of the system as stated above to information operations.

    2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  • Satellite L300D - 13 X: Vista crashes everytime during the installation of updates

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite L300D Vista HB.

    It started with the machine crashing, thought it would be OK after reinstalling operating system.
    But it hangs whenever he has installed updates.

    Anyone experienced the same problem?

    I know, I can just ignore the updates, or choose another OS, but what I would like to know if there is a general failure with this machine and updates.
    It must be some recent updates to this year, since the problem first started a few weeks ago.

    Hello

    I never had problems with the Vista updates.
    Sometimes I need to update the driver WLan driver sound to the latest version after Vista has received some updates, but the operating system has never crashed.
    But I switched to Windows 7 and now I m using the latest Win 7 OS which is much better than Vista.

    I don't know why the updates affect the mobile-specific features; m may be due to old drivers.
    Maybe you should install Vista and should update the OS before installing drivers or software

    Good luck
