windows vista problem?

November 12, 2009

i built a new computer. have a BFG GeForce 9800 Gt video card. have updated the drivers. but…. i still am getting the blue screen of death. its really driving me nuts. i have a registry cleaner and everything. updated drivers again. when i go to certain webpages. like the new verizon page www.droiddoes.com it goes right the the blue screen or starts over. im thinking my video card isnt getting enough power. its the BFG geforce 9800 gt. i plugged it into the motherboard. but cant find another slot for a power supply to go into it. i dont believe the card has a power supply meaning it only uses the motherboard to power it. any ideas?? thanks
roll back my card? what do u mean?

My laptop won’t let me access Windows. What is the best option?

October 18, 2009

My laptop stays in "SAFE MODE", posting an error message similar to: "Drivers32 file missing or corrupt".

While reading a website, I recieved a strange message that " files are being dumped to documents folder." After recieving the message, I noticed that it became progressively harder for the WINDOWS screen to load. Every time I turned on my laptop, the black and white "safe mode" screen would pop up….then countdown from about 30 seconds…..then pop up again, like a revolving door. No matter what I tried, the screen would just keep repeating itself — without so much as even letting me see the password screen. Also, the power supply to the laptop became very erratic.

My question: Is it better to use the original software that came with my laptop and reboot to solve the problem? Or, is there some software that will repair my drivers and get my computer running again–preferably without rebooting?

For some reason my computer is been freezing lately, wow is lagging like crazy and counter strike just froze after a while of playing. I tried many Registry cleaners, scan my computer for virus, spyware, malware.I have defrag my computer, update everything. I checked over heating and dust seems fine plus i put my fan at its fastest pace so it wont over heat. This started to happen like a week ago. Here a list of software I use to scaning for anything.I think is hardware failure or something to do with my power supply.
Zone Alarm Extreme security my firewall/ anti virus/ anti spyware
Advance system care pro Registry cleaner/anti spyware/cleaner
Malwarebytes anti malware

Computer freezes after Windows XP clean install – New PC built?

September 2, 2009

Hi,

I just built a PC with the following new components:

Intel C2D E8400 CPU
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 CPU cooler
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R Motherboard
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard drive
SAPPHIRE 100265HDMI Radeon HD 4830 512MB Video card
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W Power supply
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound card

I used the following used components from my old rig:

2 x 512MB PQI DDR 266 PC2100 (I am waiting for new RAM: Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 PC2 6400)
Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200RPM hard drive
DVD Drive
DVD Burner

I installed everything very carefully. PC booted normally, I did not make any changes in BIOS. After I finished doing a clean install of XP, the computer just keeps freezing after a minute or two while performing any regular task such as surfing the web, or accessing the C drive. It lets me install a driver or software once in a while and sometimes it will freeze during an installation. It just freezes everytime, it won’t just not freeze at least once. I was wondering if it is the old RAM memory 2 x 512MB that is not enough for this setup or too old? I even uninstalled the sound card, the DVD burner, and left only the 160GB hard drive but it keeps freezing. Any ideas? All I have hooked up now to the MB and CPU is the video card, DVD drive, 2 x 512MB, and 10GB hard drive.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Case is an Antec Lanboy if this helps…
Sorry I meant 160Gb hard drive not 10GB

My computer crashes every 5 minutes and i cant use it to do anything now. What do i do?

August 22, 2009

The problem started yesterday. My computer was doing perfectly fine but then it crashed while running some program. so i had to perform a hard shutdown and restart the comp. the computer was still working fine after that one time but the program was buggy and kept crashing and i had to keep doing the hard shutdown. now times this whole scenario by 30 cause i shut it down nearly that many times from all the crashes. but now my comp wont even last 5 minutes before crashing and this is with the program not even running. i uninstalled it and same thing, i get a crash after 5 minutes. and booting up takes a long time in some parts and even still it doesnt always turn on correctly, it freezes in boot up aswell. even in bios it will freeze. so now im stuck. i tried to reinstall vista and it froze in the middle of reinstallation and then i ran the thing again and finished it up but its still crashing. so im guessing the motherboard got ruined because if it was power supply it would shut down after the crash wouldnt it? and its probably not software cause i completely reset the comp and reinstalled vista and i even tried switching wireless cards and mouse/keyboard. i also ran hp diagnostics tools and it says harddrive memory and cpu passed all the tests.
so pleeeaaase help meee. i cant use this thing without it freezing up every 5 minutes. i actually havnt even been able to get past the initial time setup pages and stuff when you reinstall vista. (using a dif. comp)
