Windows 7 - Trey keys disappear without reason?

Last night I looked through the corner of my screen where the icons of trey are and saw that the clock in the taskbar had disappeared! A vacant rectangle was in its place. I got it later return by unchecking and checking the box for the clock to display in the options, but tonight I looked and saw that the button show desktop is now gone. This time I got it back by logging on and once again, but it's very strange to have just stuff BLIP! Go into the ether just like that, without any reason whatsoever. Just glance on and go!

Anyone know anything on this subject? It kinda scared me.

Hello

Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

When you update or upgrade programs, pinned icons that are associated with these programs can lose their associations link if there are problems with the update or upgrade process. Windows 7 runs a maintenance task and check the system for broken shortcuts. If more than four broken shortcuts are found, Windows automatically removes those broken shortcuts. If Windows does not delete the broken shortcuts, the remaining icons may be displayed incorrectly.

Icons of programs that are pinned in the taskbar may be missing or is not correctly displayed on Windows 7 computers

    First, someone said I should activate deactivate the disk-based restore points, did, and it is still eating place.

    Then I searched more and saw someone who says that I should download 'CCleaner' and it will remove most of the things that are most certainly in space and which are not necessary, did this cleared space, but he eats ALWAYS a space

    Also, someone said that I should get 'TreeSize', done this, cleared up a lot of space, but after a while, half of the space that I had deleted was already gone (it's a 6 GB, otherwise a lot for you, then good for you, there is plenty of space for me)

    Scanned several times, nothing has been detected

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10U crashes without reason

    Before starting to explain the problem, some information on my laptop:

    Purchase date: 12/2009
    CPU: i7 Q720
    Memory: 8 GB: 2 x 4 GB (expand after purchase)
    Hard drive: 1 TB (expand after purchase)
    Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 M
    Operating system: Windows 8.1 company

    For 6 weeks, I have the problem, my laptop crashes without reason.
    It hangs only in the browser (checked with chrome, firefox and internet explorer, always the same).
    It crashes on sites with content video (youtube in particular, not quickly, but if I open multiple tabs with videos) and if I opened several tabs another.
    It weighs between 1-5 hours after using the browser (flash player is on the latest version).

    I do a forced departure to use the laptop again.
    It does not crash if I play games, convert videos, etc.
    Then things that highlight the laptop more surfing on the internet!

    While it crashes, I can move the mouse, but cannot open anything.
    If I look in the Task Manager, I see that CPU and memory work, but the use of the hard drive is 100% and it remains at this value, all the time.

    Although the drive hard ist at 100%, all the processes under it have 0%. I can't see it, if a program is the cause. The temperature of the CPU (40-60 ° C) and hard drive (35-38 ° C) is OK.

    So I read about the values of SMART with two different programs:
    [HD Tune Pro | http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3563/xorgtm8z_jpg.htm] and [GSmartControl | http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3563/ce54l6jq_jpg.htm]

    The values on the Calibration Retry Count, sector number reallocated, which are marked with warning and pre-defaillance if criticism which can cause a hard disk crash?

    The hard drive may be the problem?
    I've still warranty on this subject. Should I contact Samsung and send it?
    That would bring something?

    I think about to replace the hard drive with the samsung 840 Evo SSD, but if the hard drive is not the problem, I would have spent money for nothing

    What I checked again:
    -format and re-install: same question
    -check the memory with memtest86 + 6 hours: impeccable and no crashes during this time!
    -checked for viruses with avast at startup (with recovery CD): impeccable and always the same question
    -replace a MEMORY: same question
    -clean the old thermal grease and renew: temperatures decline a bit, but same problem

    I think that the problem is caused by the hard drive, but I'm not sure.
    What do you think?

    What can be the reason for my problem?
    I would be grateful all the lawyer.

    Maybe there are some conflicts between modules installed in browser. How about you, the security settings of the firewall or antivirus? Check if temporal deactivation could improve navigation on the internet?

    If you think that the problem comes from the HARD drive, I would recommend you replace it with an SSD. I did it in my book even if the HARD drive was OK. I replaced the HARD drive with an SSD and the improvement of the performance is really great!

    By the way: I now use the HARD drive as external 2.5 USB enclosure HARD disk. It's quite good for backups and other stuff.

  • Satellite L50 - B turn off without reason

    My toshiba laptop Satellite L50 - B keeps cutting without reason after for a couple of hours sometimes only 10 minutes however.
    He does everything at stake but also while watching movies and all other applications are closed

    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    It seems that the laptop turns off automatically due to a higher internal temperature.
    Using Win 7 64 bit

    Have you installed this system with your own hands? As far as I know most of the units are pre-installed with Win 8.1...

    The laptop turns off using a system already installed by Toshiba?

    How about the graphics card drivers? Have you used the drivers from the Toshiba page?
    I ask because the drivers of Toshiba page are modified and released for mobile use!

    Also make sure that your cooling air could circulate properly and the cooling fan is free

    I got laptop series satellite C of Media markt Netherlands 20.09.2012 last month.

    20-09-2012(Thu-8:45 PM): I bought the laptop
    21-09-2012(Fri-11:00 PM): I'm trying to install the operating system and run in the @ & 'lack of shift key. It is a clear defect in the system in the first place.
    22-09-2012(Sat-4:30 PM): I took the laptop to the store and asked for a replacement. The helpdesk team simply changed the settings and said that it had been fixed, and gave me the pack.
    22-09-2012(Sat-7:00 PM): when I tried to connect again to my laptop I found the cracked screen.

    When I searched on the Web site I found many face the same question.
    But at least a few months after years.
    But a new laptop without even using a single day becoming unusable is not fair.

    Now I wonder to pay more than half of the actual price of the laptop for repair.
    I firmly believe that I received a defective part of the laptop and request now to pay for it.

    Either, I want a replacement for the one I bought, or do I want to go back to my laptop and get my money back.
