WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER - WINDOWS 7 - COMPUTER CRASHES

Whenever I turn on windows media center to watch live TV, after about 10 minutes of watching TV, my computer crashes / turns off.  I have to hold in the power button for a while turns back on after that is the case of the computer. I get no error message, it's just completely off / hangs the computer.

Dell Inspiron Intel Core duo

Windows 7 Home premium

 

I got so sick of this, I spent the last few hours trying all sorts of things.

This seems to have solved that problem.

First of all, I went to my monitor of resources because of the above message on the video memory. I have never in line or running anything while I watched the live TV on windows media center. As I thought, everything was fine. I had a lot of resources free etc, but while watching I noticed my McAfee security software and decided to disable real-time scanning and firewall. (I never try to watch live TV on windows media center all in line.) I always turn off my network card when I'm not online anyway so felt ok with turning the firewall and scanning off.)

And guess what! for the first time since I use Windows Media Center, it has not crashed my computer. So, it looks like Microsoft and McAfee need to understand this. I tested it several times and each time McAfee is on and working when turned off, it blocks. It will be a headache to have to remember to turn it on when I go online and off when I want to watch the tv media Center in windows.

I suggest to have the people to do this step first before making do them all the steps you gave me above.  We hope to see some sort of update of Microsoft and McAfee for this question.

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • My Windows 10 computer crashed, and all applications have been lost.  I'm about to re - install LR6 (standalone, no CC).  I think that both facilities are allowed.  Can I get the meter re - assign once my reinstalling?  Thank you.  Jim

    Hello, my Windows 10 computer crashed, and I had to start again, allow a reinstallation of the operating system complete with all my apps being deleted from the machine.  One of these applications was LR6 (independent, no CC).  In my view, LR6 allows two installations of the software by license, so I am writing to ask that the 'meter' installation reset 'one' when I'm done with this installation.    I would never need the re-install second, but given the instability of the operating system, it may be necessary...

  • Problems to Windows Media Center on my computer

    So in the computer that I have, the Media Center came with the computer and everything. Recently, I had a computer problem where my computer was stuck in a reboot cycle. It was fixed and now my computer works very well, but since they had to change the essential to a secondary antibody motivation and get a new drive, much of my stuff is still in the secondary drive (i). In any case, now Media Center is not there at all, and I was wondering if there is a way to do it because most of the default help revolves around already have it in your computer, which I did not. So if someone could give me help or advice, it would be greatly appreciated. And if you need more information on my computer so please ask.

    Thank you!

    No - there is no way to install Media Center, short installation like what it is: an operating system.  It is not an installable application.

    I need to inject a few words of warning at this point: because you could not suppy him with your drives and he has (apparently) is not MCE2k5 media available to him... you have the back of two things:
    1. really, really broken BONES (if he used an XP Pro disk and your product key - MCE2k5 CD1 IS actually XP Pro; the key indicates the installation program to be the bits of the CD2.  If CD2 is not provided upon request; Windows will be major, major problems.  But, it'll show in system as a Media Center Edition properties);
    2 - a lot of XP Pro licensed copy (if it has installed with an XP Pro disk and used a key he had "hang out".)

    A repair guy that is really worthy of its name would have put appropriate media at its disposal (I know I do...)
    Because it does not, my suggestions are as follows:
    1. find a person who does not have good press;
    2. contact your PC vendor, to see if they can still provide (or sell) you filtering alternatives;
    3 - If you bought the PC from a smaller provider (or a system integrator) who is no longer in business, you can order filtering alternatives of here:
    https://OM.one.Microsoft.com/OPA/validation.aspx?storeid=b19f4ce9-dfcb-44e4-9abe-1c9dfbad47d0&LocaleCode=en-us&JavaScriptOn=Yes
    I think they'll charge you $20 for the disks (if available).

    (BTW: I assume that it's Media Center 2005 that was installed?)  MCE2k4, however, was quite similar that the fis would be the same - reinstall with the correct version of Windows.)

    I get an error message when I turn on the computer. The error is "RUNDLL error loading c:\windows|svonerg.dl the specified module is not found" got this message quite some time and do not know how to fix it.

    Your computer is originally shipped with XP Media Center Edition 2005.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00619308
    If you have Windows 8, then it has been upgraded. A system file is missing or damaged. The easy response is to back up your important files and do a full restore of the Hp system - this will eliminate completely all files and you need to reinstall your software and re-download the updates of Windows.

  • You can transfer the Pack Windows Media Center on another computer Windows 8 Pro?

    When Media Center Pack goes free for win8 Pro, I submit one.

    When I update with the key Media Center Pack, I see the LICENSE AGREEMENT on the terms of transfer software.
    I have a question:
    It is said bind Media Center Pack to your computer for activation, this means that you can not transfer a Media Center Pack to another computer, but dose the win8 pro which update this Media Center Pack also link to this computer?
    Or just the Media Center Pack has been linked to, the win8 pro which update this Media Center Pack can be transferred to another computer?
    Can someone give me an official response?

    If you remove the installation of Windows 8 Pro of the current computer, then activate it on another computer, you can then move the Media Center license on another computer. Media Center license is dependent on installation of Windows 8 Pro enabled. He could never be associated with the computer because it requires an operating system.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on your PC not start and I wanted to help.

    I wish I got good news for you, but I did not, as it sounds a bit like the hard drive has failed, what is to be expected if this PC XP - era still has the original drive.

    We have a few troubleshooting steps to test the drive but they only work on recent PC.

    What could work is by pressing ESC, or F1 or F2, when you start to see if one of these enter you a Setup screen, and if they do, choose to run the diagnostics from there to go to disk.

    If the drive has failed, there is bad news (sorry!) -in that HP long leaves Jersey recovery media for XP - era machines, so there is nothing you can order from HP to restore your PC to a new drive.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    And if not enough bad news, I guess that the hard drive in your XP machine has something known as an IDE interface.  You can tell by looking at the back of the car where the data cable connects.  If it is a large flat cable (about 2 inches wide) and there are a bunch of small pins where it connects on the disc, then it IS an IDE drive and those who are practically impossible to find, as the industry player opted for SATA disks making a few years back.

    Sorry... but it's time to think seriously to switch to a newer PC.

    Good luck

Will someone help me by giving me detailed instructions to step by step on how clean/fix this problem?

    Blue screens are caused by defective material or defective hardware drivers.

    To see if a fix is available

    In Control Panel (and select Classic discovered in the left pane) select reports on the problems and Solutions (problem of type in the START search box), go to historical problem, right-click of your error and choose check for the Solution. You can also right-click and choose Details for more information. Post the details here.

    To see if any recent system change caused it

    In Control Panel (and select Classic discovered in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then choose reliability and performance monitor and choose the monitoring tools then the reliability monitor (type reliability in research on Start). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, updated Windows and crashes by date (scroll left to see earlier dates). See if your plant has started to happen after you installed or uninstalled something.

     
    Standard hardware troubleshooting
     
     
    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
     

    S.M.A.R.T
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)

    If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.
     
    Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.
     
    In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
     
    Run chkdsk
    In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

     
    SFC
    Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    sfc/scannow
     
    For memory diagnostic results
    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.
     
    Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

     
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

    For results of Chkdsk

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.
     
    Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
    Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
    Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk

    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
     
    PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted. We may be able to copy it from another computer.
     
     
    Dump files
     
    Dump files are files containing the status of the machine when it crashed. We can analyze the file to identify the driver (or program) causing the accident.
     
    Analyze dump files
    If you want to analyze your own dump files. See below to download for analysis.
     
    You need start exploring as an administrator to access the files in C:\windows\Minidump. Explore a right click and choose run as administrator.

    Download and install the debugging tools for Windows
    Install Windows SDK, but simply choose the debugging tools.

    Create a folder called symbols in C:\

    Start Windbg. Menu file - path to the symbol file and enter


    SRV * C:\symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
     
    Close, and then reopen WinDbg. Menu file - Open Crash Dump

    It will analyze the crashdump. You must close and reopen WinDbg for each analyzed dump file. Because you download symbols from the internet WinDbg seems to be to do nothing. But it's the download. Be patient.

     
    Looking for a driver or a library system that the incident occurred at the end of the list. Find the file, do a right click then Properties - Details tab. If it shows a driver, you will need to update the driver identified. Most of the pilots are in c:\windows\system32\drivers. If it has a file system see if you can get a program to analyze - v.

    Type in the theWinDbg command prompt

     
    ! analyze - v
     
    -v means Verbose and if the accident was created by a program, as opposed to hardware or a driver, it will appear in the middle of the list.
     
    Download them for analysis
     
    Or download files minidump to your Public SkyDrive folder and copy the link in the address bar, and I'm going to do an analysis.
     
    SkyDrive is the download file from Microsoft, Windows Live, at https://skydrive.live.com/site.  Read about it at http://explore.live.com/skydrive.

    If you downloaded one of the Live applications or a web site based Live mail account, you already have access to your Skydrive.

    Put your list of events in the Public folder and copy the link in the address bar.
