Consumer IR drive not loading, bluescreens and black screens?

I have an HP Pavillion dv4 Notebook PC that I purchased in early summer, 2010. It's got Windows 7 64-bit, 4 GBs of RAM, and still is as fast as it was when I bought it, however I'm having tons of crashes, so first I tried to figure out the problem myself. I get several different BlueScreens, with these error messages:
"BAD_POOL_HEADER"
"BAD_POOL_FOOTER"
"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
"MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"
and system service exceptions. Along with bluescreens, the computer screen will freeze, crash and have skewed graphics, like lines or boxes, and have black screens. Often on boots, the computer will start up, but the screen will be black and the num and caps lock keys will flash 4 times, then pause, then flash 4 times again. After leaving it like this for a while, the computer will eventually start up like nothing happened. There's also been bluescreen loops when I boot the computer up occasionally, and sometimes I'll be using it and the screen will just go black, but the LED lights will all still be on. This has been going on for a while, but recently it's gotten progressively worse, crashing more often.
To try to solve the problem, I first scanned my computer for any malicious software, several times, and all of the scans had come up negative. So, it wasn't a virus. I updated EVERYTHING I possibly could, all drivers and such, still no fix. As a last resort, I used the system recovery option to return my computer to the factory state. Still, no fix. By this point, I know it is definitely a hardware problem.
I ran my computer in safe mode to see if everything was functioning as it should be, and found that the system couldn't load the "Consumer IR" drive, and I think this may have to do something with the problem.
Any ideas?

What are you opening them with?
iBooks or Adobe Reader?
Be sure you have the latest, iOS 7-optimized, versions.

  • Firefox not loading-just a black screen

    Hello-
    Mozilla Firefox is not loading on my computer. It just brings up a black page.
    Internet Explorer works just fine though. I can't find any phone numbers or any help for this.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    hello, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

  • Device detected driver not loading correctly per windows

    Device detected but driver not loading correctly. Windows says to reload driver. I have reloaded driver and the Nidaq software package (ver 6.9.3) repeatedly to no avail.
    Upgrading from old machine that had a 1997 version of driver that work fine under this OS (win98SE).
    What could be the problem?

    It's possible the copy of the NI-DAQ driver you have is corrupt, you may want to download it again.  It's available from the Drivers and Updates page.  Also, if you did not already do so, remove the DAQ card before uninstalling the driver and then reinstall it before reinserting the DAQ device. 
    What DAQ device are you using?  Depending on what DAQ device you have, you may want to upgrade the driver, the most recent version of the NI-DAQ driver for Windows 98 is 7.1.  You can see what driver is best for your device from the DAQ Acquisition Installer/Configuration Troubleshooter and then download the driver from the Drivers and Updates page. 
    Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem!

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

    Everyone who logs into Facebook on my Firefox has this problem however if we use Internet Explorer - facebook looks normal.

    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.

    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

    Hi,
    the NFSv4 domain name is not necessarily related to the host name or the host's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). It can be the same like the domain name, but it does not have to.
    To find the corrent NFSv4 domain name, you have to look it up in the NFSv4 server's configuration files.
    Kind regards,
    Steffen

  • How can i solve "could not load language and text preference "

    how can i solve " could not load language and text preference ".. help everyone...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
