YouTube / GIFs causes sound stretch and shuts down the computer.

Hello.

Everything worked him up until the spring of 2014 when my internet lost residence. Finally moved to another residence in summer 2014 and has noticed that when using my laptop once again that Youtube videos and animated GIFs stretched and stuttered sound and froze my computer.

Flash player, Java, Windows Media player and IE were affected. I tried to update all but settled is constantly interrupted by error messages. It all traces back to IE but can not enter say it or re-install / update. I rather not uninstall all of the programs mentioned above for fear of these programs is not able to install afterwards. Restorations and restores system were made but only up to a point (less than a month ago) and not to the most remote, with few results.

Also somehow had internet limited during spring 2014 from time to time but Kaspersky failed to update normally and himself knocked out. Had to use his troubleshooting and Best Buy help re - install, but it was a successful installation. Perhaps something got through that affects those above apps but Kaspersky found nothing wrong.

A question, someone of you recommended a total OS re - install at this point? Operating system is Windows 7.

Hello

Most often this is caused by requiring to do two things (or both):

1. make sure you have the latest video card drivers. If you are already on the latest graphics card drivers, uninstall and install a version or a few versions behind the last to make sure this isn't a last number one driver. If you have already experienced with the driver of the card later and earlier versions, please try the driver beta for your card.

  • Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans?

    Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans? It does this to me almost everytime I have the King stuck, but when my King is stuck, I lose each time. WTH?

    original title: circulation of Chess Titans

    If its your turn and you can make any legal move either with any piece, but your King is not in check, it is then deadlock. Deadlock is considered a match draw in standard chess rules. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate .

    If your King is in check and you can immediately do a legal process to get out then check it's checkmate. For the person who the King is in check, this counts as a loss. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate .

    In the two scenarios above, can even vice versa (it may apply to your opponent too).

    If the above explains what you see in Chess Titans then the program is correctly following standard rules and it is not a bug in the program. If she does not explain what you see then please explain more precisely the scenario.

    Menu start no longer displays options to shut down the computer, someone knows how to change that?   The power options menu did not help.

    When this happened to me, it was malware that didn't stop my computer, probably because she wanted to do something with it. I held the power button down until the computer is turned off manually, then I rebooted in safe mode - I run Vista - and ran some virus and malware programs until I found the beast and it crashed. You can also run a scan MS online at onecare.live.com, which was updated earlier this week. Moreover, I had not any data loss or permanent damage.

  • Error loading operating system after shutting down the computer because of the high operating temperature

    I decided to re - install Windows XP Pro x 86 on my wife's computer. So I went into the BIOS to make sure that the CD/DVD drive has been configured to start first, and then I inserted the DVD and then restarted the computer.

    Now, the XP disc started normally. I installed XP to the point where I deleted all previous partitions and then created a new. Windows then displays the warning that the computer would not be able to boot up to what XP finished installing. I guess that's because start-up files have been deleted when I deleted all previous partitions during the installation.

    Right after I clicked on enter the warning message, the computer shuts down. No! So, I try to re-boot, in the hope of all simply continue with installing XP, but instead, the computer will display a message indicating that the computer has been stopped because of the high operating temperature. I then go ahead and get a message saying: "Error loading operating system."

    No matter what I do, I can't go any further. I can't get into BIOS or anything. If I try the F10 key (or whatever the keys are), I get a beep. It does not properly respond to my entries.

    I don't think that the high temperature operation destroyed all components. The computer stopped several times in the past. Furthermore, it would not be part of integrated security if Microsoft enabled the computer reach a destructive temperature before stopping. I think that the problem occurred during installation was interrupted just after that previous partitions have been deleted.

    BT, I don't know what to do now. Loooking for suggestions.

  • stop ID10T users of abandonment downloads by shutting down the computer or put it to sleep

    Key issue:
    Short of locking all users of the computer, is it possible to use my admin account to stop temporarily to other users of the computer is shut down, put to sleep or into hibernation mode? At least until that I get home from work?

    Explanation:

    Normally, all users should be able to put the computer into standby or turn off the console. I want that way normally. However, I share the computer with other people in the House and must work full time, leave the computer unattended during the day.

    For the last three days, I tried to download a LARGE file from a slow server an approximate time of 6 hours. Oh, to add insult to injury I can't the server let me resume a download. To allow the user to get on the computer while I'm at work and by downloading the file, I used Fast User Switching (name of the XP, in case it's called something different to 7) to put the computer on the Welcome screen, while my regular account download.

    For the past two days, despite myself, leaving a note saying: 'Do NOT stop the computer or put it to sleep', when I got home from work, the computer was off, and the download was incomplete. I got an explanation "you were always telling me to stop when I'm done, I did not forget at this time." Then today I started downloading two hours ago and was only asked "could I please verify my email address?", so I donnГ the computer. When she was done, she put the computer to sleep, which was just as bad as l ' turn off as much as to cancel the download.

    Short of locking all users of the computer, is it possible to use my admin account to stop temporarily to other users of the computer is shut down, put to sleep or into hibernation mode? At least until that I get home from work?
