Vista is sometimes freezing at boot time

A few weeks ago, I installed some new updates (as well as service pack 2, came to them who I was little surprised, but I went with it). in any case, after the updates installed, I realized that my computer work slower for some reason any. In addition, my computer freezes usually to where I need to stop and restart manually. From time to time, I can start the computer and have no problem, other times, I might have to go through about 3 or 4 manual restarts.

Tired of it, I decided I'd do a system recovery. He crossed successfully, and everything worked well. I got the drivers, I needed for my other devices and thought I'd be back again to day. Once I did, I rebooted my computer to apply the updates, signed, and less than 30 seconds of activity, I froze again.

I guess that it is a mistake to update at this point. Help?

Hi M3lch10r,

Welcome to Microsoft Windows Forums!

METHOD 1

Try to put your computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists. To help resolve the error and other messages, 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".

  • Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

    Hello

    I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

    I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

    I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

    When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

    I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

    I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

    I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

    So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

    I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

    Pedro

    Hey Buddy,

    > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
    Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

    I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

    From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
    I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

  • Satellite P200-140 sometimes freezes in XP

    Hello

    I put Windows XP with Service Pack 2 on my P200-140 after his purchase last week.
    For some reason it sometimes freezes, but recovers by itself after 10 minutes or more.

    It only happens two times a day at most and happens so that only programs runnig 1 or 2...

    I installed all the Windows updates, but also the latest BIOS update.

    I will probably reinstall XP, but the thought that someone might have a simpler solution.

    Any ideas?

    Simply repair?

    Well, you could solve the problem if you want to know what exactly is the problem!
    But I put t think anyone here will be able to tell what is causing these strange crash.

    First, it would be very interesting to know if the laptop works properly with the delivered original OS (vista).
    Try to install the OS restore CD.
    In this case the laptop runs with the factory settings.

    You test it without any installation of the 3rd party software and programs.
    If the system will work stable, then it is definitely not a hardware problem of problem but the software.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista Home Permium freezes to the logon screen or gets stuck

    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Permium freezes to the logon screen or crashes on the black screen with Copyright Microsoft Corporation with the load with six green bars moving through bar. It will start in safe mode. I ran the auto repair (recommended) when starting after being forced to stop. After it says its full it restarts and remains stuck on the black screen with Copyright Microsoft Corporation with the load bar with six green bars that cross so I force disable it again.

    I had no problem with this computer, he got in last seven. It was working fine yesterday and then the without wire came out, so I restarted the computer to find the connection again as I had done several times before. That's when it froze on the opening of session and password screen. Who started this cycle of freezing or stuck on the black screen with the loading bar permanently running.

    UPDATE:
    Start safe mode then made the instructions on the clean boot. Not checked, all iteams he says and rebooted and it worked. So I went to the next step to select only half to refine the list. Restarted and when at the loading screen for a little over 30 sec - 1 min (which is more short than the time it took to work initially after the first stage of the boot with all unchecked), but it goes to a completely black screen that has not happened before. So now, a little lost, or do I have to keep trying to refine?

    Hi Greg,.

    It will not harm the computer to run it in a boot environment.  Some programs do not work properly because they were probably responsible for their own services and rely on them to work.  You have disabled all non-Microsoft services, and things like printers and software can be difficult.

    Click Start, then options type power and press ENTER.  Let us make sure that the system is not configured to sleep.  Go ahead and put the power plan to High Performance, then click on change Plan settings below.  There will be a framework for "put the computer to sleep".  The value than ever.

    If it continues to turn black in clean boot mode, you may have a hardware problem.  One thing you could do if it's a desktop system and really need to use it now, it is the lid of the machine and aim a fan in the box.  This will help if it is overheating.

    Please complete the steps to diagnose the problem with the boot when you have the chance.

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • the desktop gadgets only sometimes appear when booting.

    For these past few weeks Google desktop gadgets clock has not sometimes appear at boot. Now all the gadgets of the Office refuses to even appear when I click the icon in the control panel. What has gone wrong?

    If they disappear again, try to uncheck this option and then repeat for re-check it.

    Not sure why it's just for you, mine did sometimes not appear from time to time in the past, but very well worked for many months now.

    If they fail again, you can try a restore point dates back to a time where they worked very well. That is, if they don't have say 2 weeks ago and then restore to 3 weeks if you can. Not sure, but it can help.

  • video freezes but sounds times

And it can only be stopped by the arrow facing upwards.

    Hey Buddy,

    > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
    This could mean that the laptop is overheating
    The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

    I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
    Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

    For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

  • Satellite A200-23O: Vista Home Premium how to set time battery

    Hello
    My A200 with preinstalled Vista only shows battery remaining percentage % time, but not her remaining battery in hh. My previous notebooks could display the time remaining on the battery on XP and one of my friends is using another laptop with Vista Business and the remaining life of the battery is available there also.

    I updated my BIOS to 2.4, but it still does not work. How can I make it work?

    Kind regards
    GH

    Good question. Wanted to get this posted on my laptop too. But what I found after hours of searching with google has been, that this feature is hardware based.
    I have a Toshiba laptop and another machine, one with XP and one with Vista Ultimate. None of them shows the time of the battery percentage only.

    I read you can install some 3rd party applications so that this works, but do not know if there are programs for Vista too or even if some of these tools are installed, it will work.

  • Gallery of photos shows open and changed at boot time

    Hello!

    Every time that I starts my Mac my library of Photos said that it was open and modified. If I open and change it - this specific date and time cannot be updated in the Finder. He holds the boot time.

    I use iCloud photo library and everything seems to work very well. In fact, it's all about a clean install with a downloaded library of iCloud, essentially it's a new library! I missed a setting? Finder went crazy?

    Thanks in advance.

    H

    Yes, I can confirm this is the case, and it seems normal.  I'm guessing it is briefly activated in order to establish contact with iCloud, so he can make any necessary synchronization since it was the last stop.
