lockup

I fought with Vista for a month with the black screens, lock ups, and loops. The dreaded "Display driver has stopped responding" error has returned to haunt Windows 7. At least for me. I play WoW a lot, some Bioshock, and recently Universe at War. The error is very random. Sometimes it...

I found this in the "Administration Tools" of my programs list. So I ran the test, and it says there's a problem with my hardware and I should contact the manufacturer of my computer......hmmmm I built it from scratch and it's running fine with all the other tests I've done, so I'm not putting a...

Win 7 did not like Skype,I had to reinstall. Explorer locked up

Initially I was having lockups trying to set up my dual screens, it froze a few times but it saved my settings anyway. I was trying to turn off the notebook screen and use my lcd tv. Windows live messenger causes it to lock up every time a minute onto desktop As posted already, full screen...

Hi there, I have just installed Windows 7 beta (7000) on my laptop (It's a bit of an oldie, dell inspiron 1300, 1.6 celeron m, 1 gig ram, Intel 915GL shared Graphics) and I have a little problem, every time I watch a youtube video then load it up fullscreen the hard drive activity light goes...

Ok this burner wont reconize data disk or transfer files properly it locks up and many problems. It sees the files. But if you click a folder slowly. And you can never transfer a files from disk to pc.

OK so when I attempt to use any video player on an existing AVI file my system locks up and has to be rebooted. I have tried WMP, VLC (my preference) and KPS. They all react the same way, leads me to believe it is hardware and not a software issue, Is 1 gig of ram enough for this system to...

Hi, After installing WIndows Live Messenger (the most recent version), Windows 7 locks up when it starts to run. I've narrowed it down to it by creating a new profile and running WLM (it hung). Anyone else is experiencing this, or is WLM running ok on your PC? I'll try removing it and...

I cruised by the HP Web Site the other day and found they had a new bios update for my computer. Downloaded it and ran it and thought so what. Wrong. It caused all kinds of BSODS. Problem was that it would not let the computer come out of sleep at all. Once out of sleep it would lock up nice and...

Beats me but, here is my problem with them. After a while of running if I move the mouse to start the machine from sleep, it simply jams up and I have to reboot. So for now it's back to the ATI card which actually works very nicely albeit slower than the Nvidia card by a wide margin. What I have...

My Vista (64 bit Ultimate) hates my ram. Whenever I try to add more than 2 gb (I have 4 2gb sticks), Vista gets veary unstable as in locks up or randomly reboots. I've tested each ram module in my old desktop, they all check out. I also installed the KB 929777 update which was supposed fix some...

Okay, it's been happening since the first builds of Vista. First, it was sound issues, but that went away, but it still does it now. I'm on Pre-RTM and I am not liking the fact that it may do it if I ever buy it. Now, here's the deal: If I listen to music and browse, fine, but out of the blues...
