Windows 7 - get a ding dong sound every few seconds

I am running windows 7. I get a constant ding dong upward, then ding dong down every few seconds

Hello

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

As described in the question, I understand that you sound every few seconds on the Windows 7 computer. I will certainly help you get this fixed number.

I would be grateful if you could help me with more information:

Do no pop up also when this noise appears?

This problem may occur because of any USB device connected to your computer. I suggest you to disconnect all the USB devices on your computer and check to see if you still get the sound.

Connect the devices once you diagnose if the noise comes up or not after the disconnection of the devices and follow the procedure below.

Run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

1. open Control Panel

2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

Hope this information is useful. Please come back to write to us if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • Hum/buffering sound every few seconds when the streaming videos online.

    I can't stream videos online (IE youtube, vimeo, etc.).  Every few seconds the sound will sound buffer. The photo is very good all the time. I have updated all drivers, tried to change the 16-bit sound, 440000Hz, update flash, silverlight etc. I also tried several browsers such as IE, firefox and chrome.

    I found a solution that is far from ideal, but if I disable the Realtek High Definition Audio, restart the computer and then reactivates the Realtek High Definition Audio, the sound buffer disappears. Unfortunately the its buffer returns the next time I start the computer.

    Does anyone have a more permanent solution than the deactivation of the sound system - reboot and then reactivating og the sound system?

    Hi @oyvinols

    You can reset the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. Helping other people.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    I hope this helps.

  • Re: Buzzing/buffering sound every few seconds when the streaming videos online.

    I'm having the same problem. I followed your steps with the sound and even the glitching. Any other suggestions? Everything is updated, I use windows 8.1 it seems to be a little better on the Netflix App, but from time to time it will happen. Cannot watch Youtube or any other video. Tried to download the Youtube app to see if it is useful, and it was worse. Thank you!

    Hi @TobieJThiel ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I uninstall the current browser and download a new one for Windows 8.1. You can do this here.

    I would check here to see if there is Chipset driver updates that are needed as well as the BIOS update.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds.

    My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds for the last 8 days.  Window XP SP3.  I spent 1-1/2 hours will dell workstation support and 1-1/2 hours with my computer work (shot as a favor to my personal computer) and they find nothing, MacAfee installed, updated several full scan virus.  A ran Malwarebyte s multiple crawls - nothing.  Kaspersky lab - nothing.  Computer work ran a vrius start-up detector and nothing.  No error log is generated.  And two technicians stop various folders in the Task Manager and NOTHING he did stop.  I was sent a disc of reinstalling XP SP3 Dell and I did a repair XP complete with no fix. Technician COMPUTER checked a bunch of stuff and thought it was "related to a driver."  Regardless of what is the cause, how do I find the problem and fix it.   Thank you

    @GarySibley:

    Thanks for the comments, and I'm happy that you found.  Although I'm not surprised that an msiInstaller error could have caused a "critical stop" but I never thought that he would deliver the error never seconds.

    @JudsonWelcher:

    I suggest you also check your event viewer to find errors msiinstaller.  I've seen other posts where a sound "critical stop" appears to be linked to these errors (but like I said above, not continuous repetitions of the error).

    There is no easy way that I know to track this sort of thing.  Before you start the method of 'Clean boot' or start using the process monitor, open the sound control panel applet and scroll down to check that Windows XP stop critique.wav has not been assigned to certain events in addition (or instead of) a real stop critical Windows.

  • Screen refreshes every few seconds

    Computer model: HP Pavilion e040us 17

    Product: EOJ89UA #ABA

    Windows 8 (not 8.1)

    My wife left her cell open and when she came back, she was asleep.  She tried it to wake up (hit the wrong key), got frustrated and held down the power button to turn off.  She doesn't think that updates have been applied since the screen was black

    Now, once it is started, it can use one of the applications 'tiled' who do not use the desktop computer.  Once the office is open, the screen refreshes every few seconds.  The entire desktop goes blue, the desktop icons and background image disappear, and everything disappears from the system tray.  The system tray starts to rebuilds with the battery indicator, indicator of network, "speaker" icon, date & time, then all the rest of the system tray is back with the office (background image and all the icons).  In about 1 or 2 seconds, the cycle starts all over again.  I left the laptop that works thinking that something just needs to work to stand, but two hours later, it was still there.

    If I press the windows key enough times, he swaps ends up back in the tile view, and then he begins to paint it too.  The screen goes blue and then everything comes back.

    While this is the case, the only way to get the stop menu is ctrl + alt + delete.  Moving the mouse to the bottom right of the screen to bring up the menu of the settings does not work because the screen refreshes faster that you can click on the settings button.

    I restart the computer in safe mode and it didn't happen.

    I'm stumpped and really need help!

    Hi, Mark.
    I don't know if this will help, but for me, I used system refresh to restore my laptop to factory settings (but keep my documents) and the problem seemed to go away. Partially, I think it was because I was running Classic Shell for Windows 8.0 rather my 8.1 - Although may not be the problem, refresh the laptop seemed to work!

  • Video freezes every few seconds

    I just bought first elements 14. I bought a subscription to Lynda.com to get up to speed on the program. For several days, the apprenticeship program. So now I'm ready to start editing. I load three videos in the assets of the project. One is a long hours MP4 video which is 6 GB. My system has 8 GB of memory. When I open the video 6 gig in the mower, the video freezes after a few seconds. I tried to put it on the timeline, and it crashes after a few seconds. I tried to cut everything, but a minute or two of the video and it freezes. Then I reduced the resolution of the screen down to 1080. Always freezes. I cut the long video out completely and tried to edit a three minute video. It freezes every few seconds.

    So now I think there must be a problem of memory because of the long video. I left out of the program. Did not save the project. Has started a new project with the short three-minute video. Opened in the window of the mower and began to play the video. It freezes after a few seconds. I'm on Windows 10 64-bit with a processor I7 3.4 ghz. What Miss me?

    Could be the Organizer.

    Just double click in the project window active to import images.

  • Re: NB550D - crackle speaker every few seconds

    Hi, I hope someone can help me!

    Whenever I use the speakers (especially for iTunes and youtube music) they crackle every few seconds. The audio just can't cope with the video. I tried to adjust the speaker settings and download an updated driver (the driver won't download and froze half way through half a dozen times). I don't know what else to try, but I had this particular netbook due to the opinion of speakers and capacity. I think that the problem is most likely related user!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Did you notice the same problem when using external speakers or headphones?
    What operating system you're using now?

    It is not much what you can do, but try to update the audio driver. On the Web from Toshiba site, you can get a newer version of the audio driver:

  • Satellite 1800-514-display is off every few seconds

    Yesterday, I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-514. I have install the OS (Windows XP Home) again.
    Laptop screen turns off every few seconds. When I press the small button above the power switch (sensor for portable fence) there is a beep and the screen wakes up again.
    Same procedure again after a few seconds (5-50 sec).

    Is there someone who can explain what happened and how to fix this?
    The problem exists in all modes (Setup/bios dialogue, BACK, starting of WinXP, running current WinXP command prompt).

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    It's not easy to say what is causing the problem, it could be the inverter FL, chip graphic, LCD display...

    In your case, you should first test an external monitor. If the external monitor doesn't work properly, it s a problem with the graphics chip or motherboard. If the monitor does not work this is a problem of the FL inverter or LCD.

  • iPhone 6s freezes every few seconds on iOS 9.3

    On iOS 9.3, 6 s iphone, the phone will freeze every few seconds in ANY application.  When it thaws (after 3 to 10 seconds), all entries with the touch screen, the home and lock buttons will be running very quickly.

    I tried the following:

    -soft reset

    -hard reset

    -Turning off the night shift

    -activate airplane mode

    -cleaning and restoration from backup

    -downgrade iOS 9.2.1 (seems remedy) and back to iOS 9.3 (back problem)

    It's extremely unusable because typing seems frozen, then a bunch of letters appears when it thaws, pressing the buttons for locking/unlocking inadvertently takes screenshots because it saves that kept pressed buttons, apps are impossible to use, and scroll of sites and application will freeze and then jump down/up.

    See if you can do a reset... it can help him freeze.

    Tap settings > general > reset > reset all settings

    Then, restart your iPhone to test.

  • Toshiba 32AV615DB screen flickers offshore for a split second every few seconds

    Hello

    I got my toshiba TV to the end of 2009 and have not had any problems until recently.

    While watching my Virgin + box and while on the game console, the screen flickers offshore for a fraction of a second every few seconds.

    At first I thought it was me flashing, it happens that fast until someone else noticed it as well.
    This does not happen all by using the TV for a monitor for my PC.

    Anyone know what the problem is and if I am able to fix it or not?

    I bought the TV RicherSOunds with a guarantee 5 years so if it is something bad I can resume and they will fix it or give me a new free.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    If the warranty is still valid, I recommend you contact the technician (point of service) in your country to control the TV.

    All you can do is check some settings and connection cable, but that's it.
    Troubleshooting TV is limited and in most cases, these issues need an audit by experts.
