G62 Freezes after 2 mins

HP G62
Windows 7 64 bit
G62 started freezing suddenly after having it a year. It consistently froze after 2mins of booting up several times. I log on to safe mode and went on the forum where i took the advice to do a "driver check" for errors. This fixed it temporally to the point that it does not freeze after 2mins, but it has frozen randomly twice in the last two days. What do you suggest?
I havent loaded anything new or done anything different to cause this problem.

In your situation first thing you could do would be to run a diagnostic test from F2 on the startup to make sure your hardware isn't having any issues. Since you can access safe mode it is a big chance that you have a driver or software malfunction. You can access msconfig in safe mode by going to the start menu typing in msconfig in the search field. When another box comes up select on startup tab and disable all. Attempt to reboot into normal windows. If you are able to one or more of your startup prgs are not allowing you to boot. My suggestion then would be a factory reset.

Hi Teodorafrombc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your computer is becoming unresponsive, you may want to see if specific applications are causing this behavior. Try using the Force Quit menu to check for unresponsive applications:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock
You can find the article with these steps here:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

If your display is going blank or seems to be going to sleep unexpectedly, try these steps first:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

T400 downgraded from Vista to XP resulting in system freeze after 10 min activity

Hi,
I just purchased a T400 and have gone through the process of (re)grading the OS from Vista Business to XP. From the moment the setup dialogue for XP started (machine name, date, users etc), the whole systems freezes after working the machine for around 10-15 min. First, I suspected it to be a mouse freeze, but I get no reponse from neither the keyboard nor mouse (not sure if it is a complete system freeze or to do with mouse/keyboard drivers). Even the clock in the bottom right corner stops running.
To get the system going I need to force the system to reboot using the power on/off button.
The XP restore disc I used came from Lenovo with the computer, and I have followed the instructions by point. Do any of you recognize this problem? And more importantly, know how to deal with it

Hi,
I posted a message on the forum 5 days ago, and got no replies. I agree the problem description might be a bit vague, so here we go again:
I recently purchased a T400 (model 2765, 21g) with the XP downgrade option (the MS Windows XP Conversion Kit containing 2 CD's: Lenovo's Rescue & Recovery plate + XP product recovery plate with SP2). During the installation of XP (the end part where you set up your user) the computer freezes (no response from keyboard). I power the machine off and on again, and the installation continues as it were. I finish the installation and the computer is set. After additional 10 min the computer freezes again in the same style.
I imagine it to be a powermanagement disagreement between MS system and Lenovos powermanagement system, and set every parameter to be always ON and full performance ( I am running on AC). This time the freeze doesn't happen for an hour. I then begin to reinstall the powermanagement drivers and the general drivers for this particular model running XP (from Lenovos drivers Matrix), and now I am looking at two hour before each freeze. That is if I don't plug in any external hard drives (then the system can crash within 15 min or an hour), and we turn a blind eye to the occational freeze after 10 min on the first boot of the day .
At some point I suspected there to be a conflict with the existing SATA drivers that I also have reinstalled for the occation. Still the system is NOT stable.
And the frustrating thing is that I have no clue why. The sympthom is always the same, complete screen freeze ( I do not know if the system is active behind (no hard drive running)), that can only be cured with a forced boot.
If any of you reconize this, please assist me to a solution. I have by now installed all programs to my liking including all MS updates (SP3 etc), and hope there is a way to get to the core without a complete reinstall (or worse, return to the realm of Vista)

Freezing after 20 min of use.

I use this Macbook Pro 2011 daily with 10.8.2 and with no real changes to speak of (ie installing software) i've started experiencing freezes after about 30 min of use.
Programs start becoming unresponsive
Beachball appears.
System freezes until restart.
No crash log as it doesn't actually crash just freezes.
I checked the log and saw that a geek tool couldn't find a file so i shut that down and restarted in case it was the cause. It happened again though and i copied this as the last few messages before i had to restart.
if anyone can shed light on what's suddenly causing this it would be greatly appreciated.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

HD Channels freeze after 5 minutes

Since the launch of BT sport my HD channels including new BT sport freeze after about 5 minutes. Help suggests I restart Home Hub and BT vision box. This gets the system going for the next 5 minutes. Note this is the behaviour whether accessing BT sport or BBC1 HD. I can actually get the channel to unfreeze by simply changing channels so its not really necessary to reboot all the boxes. Unfortunately this approach does not work when trying to record your favourite football team.
Other details: BT Vision box is connected to Home Hub by powerline adaptors and I often get a message with error VMC999 complaining of a slow connection.
What is particularly irritating is that I have a new Samsung smart TV which displays all HD channels perfectly (via Freeview) and seamlessly streams HD on demand content by connecting wirelessly to the BT router.
I have made two attempts this week to contact BT (0800...) but abandonned them as there are'nt enough hours in the day.
So what I propose do is to "enjoy" my "free" BT sport channels (I have infinity account), cancel my BT Vision subscription (if BT ever pick up the phone) and subscribe to Netflix, Blinkbox, etc.
If anyone has any practical or technical suggestions please comment.
Mike

Did you manage to try using an ethernet cable rather than the power line adapters (PLA's)? Did this solve the problem? As others mentioned the PLA's are probably causing the VMC999 error. You need a reliable connection to the Vision+ box for the multicast channels to work smoothly. Being live channels they have to work in a slightly different way to on-demand content.
If after trying a cable you still get the multicast channels freezing after approx 5 mins every time you try to view/record them then you are not the only one. In that case I suggest you read this thread I created a while back. I got it fixed for my line, but it still seems to be affecting some customers now. Get your stopwatch out!

Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install

Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install
Last week suddenly, after having changed or installed nothing, trying to boot into windows resulted in a frozen glowy window logo 'Starting Windows', which resulted in having to format the windows partition.
Since then I've found out that I can do everything except install gfx drivers.
I've installed firefox, all bootcamp drivers except gfx, swtor (doesn't run of course, but installs fine), quicktime, rebooting is fine after all this...
But as soon as I install any kind of graphics driver and reboot, it freezes at the glowy window logo.
I have tried;
The bootcamp included gfx driver
Windows Update included gfx driver
Official nVidia latest beta driver
Official nVidia latest whql driver
Official nVidia oldest whql driver
nVidia Cuda driver, both versions
All give the same result
I have formatted the entire harddrive and written zeros and made the windows partition in a physically different location to make sure it's not a harddrive issue, no luck.
I have tried both Windows 7 x86 and x64 with matching drivers, same results.
Tried booting with no devices attached, no luck.
This all seems to me like a bust gfx card, were it not that under Lion everything works fine, even gaming (WoW).
Techtool Pro's test machine shows no errors.
My machine is a;

I am running Lion on a Mac Mini Server wherein I placed a Bootcamp partition and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I've been testing Windows Media Center using a CableCard Tuner installed in a SiliconDust HomeRun box.
All was well until I received a Windows notification of an NVIDIA driver update. After the update, I now freeze at the same point that you do in the Windows startup splash screen.
I rolled back the driver using the Windows control panel associated with the device. Still freezes.
Windows repair does not have a fix. I can't get windows to start in "safe mode" so I can remove the additional apps that NVIDIA installed during the update.
I'm certain the freeze is associated with the NVIDIA driver.

[SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.

Photoshop CS5.5 freezes after 10 seconds of use every time

Hey everyone,
So weve been going nuts over this! Essentially I work for a big company, and we all have company laptops that we use to work on, which all have essentially the same programs installed on them. I have a Dell Latitude E6530, its running Windows 7, has a Corei7 vPro inside. Im running Adobe Production Premium CS5.5, and all the programs work perfectly fine (like I use Flash and Illustrator as well with no issues.) except for Photoshop.
When I boot up Photoshop (either version, 32 or 64), Ill be able to use it for about 10 seconds and then it will freeze. It will stay frozen until I actually go in and Task Manager the program off. It does not crash. This literally works with anything I do in Photoshop, I could literally have nothing open and go to the Preferences menu, and it will freeze there. I have tried looking up this problem online and I havent seen it as specified as this, I have seen it where people do something specific, like go to save, and it freezes AND crashes. Mine just freezes after ANYTHING I do after 10 seconds of use.
More about my set up. I have 3 monitors linked to my laptop. I initially thought maybe cutting it down to 2 or 1 might help, because it seemed to yesterday for a moment, but today I tried it and I had the same issue. I also have Symantic Encryption on my laptop, but so does everyone else and they can all run Photoshop completely fine. Weve updated the drivers and updated Photoshop and everything to the latest versions.
Does anyone know if Im just doing something very simple wrong that Im overlooking? I have seriously never had an issue this bad with Photoshop before. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks for your help!

Yes, basically we have all the default fonts installed on our computers, but we use a program called Universal Type Client to get the fonts we need, and UTC grabs fonts from a server and temporarily makes them usable on our computer. But everyone has this software so I dont think that would have anything to do with it.
Could it possibly have something to do with my Video Drivers or Graphic Cards? Our tech guy mentioned it was strange that my computer had two different things (I believe he said I have a CORE i7 vPro and Nvidia NVS 5200M or something and that they may be competing?) or the amount of monitors Im using?

Macbook pro freezes after sleep, after 6 months of not having that problem

Hello,
I'm really frustated with my macbook pro. Like the tittle says, my computer freezes after waking up and the only thing to do is use the On/Off button. It is a macbook pro '13 2010.
This problem first happened around 6 months ago. Around Feb '11, i experienced the same issue. First thing i noticed was that the wifi suddenly stopped working. To try to fix it, I turned airport off and then couldn't turn it back on and had to restart my machine. Then when closing the lid and then opening it again, my computer would work for about 5 min and then freeze. Nothing worked and I had to shut it down using the power button. Then the problem got worse because the computer started freezing randomly. I know it wasn't an application problem because it happened using different apps. I took my computer to an authorized apple service provider and they told me the harddrive had some bad sectors i think, and they replaced the harddrive because I was still under earranty at the time.
Now, Sept '11, the problem came back. First the airport problem happened and now my computer freezes when waking up, the exact same thing that happened 6 months ago. I went to disk utility and repaired disk permisions and still no solution. My warranty expired last month so calling apple won't be of any help. I installed lion the day it came out and was working without any problems until now, so I don't think lion is the problem.
Has anybody had this same problem with their computer? I don't know what to do or how to tell if my harddrive is causing the problem again.
Thanks

All of the new unibody MBs/MBPs can use (6GB 4X2GB)
But yes you should definitely make sure the RAM is seated correctly and you didn't touch the gold part of the RAM during installation. Though if something was seriously wrong it would have made loud obnoxious sounds while you tried to start up.
Aside from Installation issues, you should reset the PRAM as noted previously. Hold down command-option-p-r at startup until it chimes twice.
OP, looking at Super Talent's website they don't even have 1066MHz chips listed in their DDR3 chips. All I see is a jump from 800MHz (DDR2) to 1333MHz (DDR3).
Either way, I can't imagine you got that great a deal for the RAM that even if it is seemingly the correct RAM you can get better deals in the links I posted in my other post.

IBook G4 freezes after 10 minutes

my iBook G4 freezes after a few minutes of use.
it starts up but freezes after around 10 minutes (variable 5 - 20 mins). The screen is frozen and no keyboard or mouse input is accepted. Only way out I found was to power-off. This happens from cold.
When warm, it freezes on startup with blue screen.
I have been able to clear the disc and reload MAC OS from install discs and the symptoms are identical. There are no modifications, no devices connected, no network connection and the wifi is turned off. It makes no difference whether the battery is removed and run on power supply or simply run on fullycharged battery.
I tried:
1. remove/replace wifi card and memory check connections OK.
2. Startup from install disc and repaired disc, although it was OK. Disc seems to be fine.
3. Reset PROM.
4. stored the iBook in a cold place and it ran for longer.
5. Ran a temperture monitor - all temperatures are OK.
6. I have tried using the latest MAC OS 10.4 and the original one supplied with th iBook (10.3).
I do not think it is a disc, airport card, cooling fan or battery fault. It could be a memory module failure or some motherboard fault. Its not software or driver.
I think the only thing left is that some hardware fails when it gets wram and works agin when cold. The colder t is to at startup, the longer it works for.
I have now run out of ideas.

It ran long enough to install from disc-1 then froze. After restarting, it asked for disc-2 and that loaded then froze. After restarting, it worked a short while then froze. To get this far, I left the iBook in a cold place before starting it up and this extended the runtime from the normal 5 minutes to as much as 25 minutes.
I disconnected the disc and it behaved the same while starting from the CD drive so I think the disc is OK or its more than one cause.
This feels like a dry solder joint problem, to me - applying pressure on the motherboard or lowering the temperature will temporarily fix it for a few minutes.
If I pay for a repair then, statistically, it will last 3 months longer so its too risky. It would not be so bad if Apple could repair it with confidence that it will not have the same problem again, but to do that they would have to admit to what causes the this problem with so many iBooks.

MBP 13" Screen Flickers and Freezes After Upgrading HDD

Hi There,
I have seen on here and a few other forums that people are having issues with graphics cards or overheating that is making the MBP screen flicker and freeze.
Mine has been fine until yesterday when I installed a new Seagte 1tb HDD. It works ok, but every now and then the screen starts to flicker, half of it goes black and the system freezes. Sometimes it's just for a few minutes, but sometimes I need to do a hard reset by holden the power button down for 5 seconds.
Here are the details:
MBP 5,5 13" (2008 I think - Can't remember)
Boot ROM Version:
MBP55.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system):
1.47f2
Version 10.6.8
2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8gb 1067 Mhz DDR3 (Just upgraded, but before the hard drive and no issues)
1TB Seagate Momentus SATA HDD
As mentioned, I upgraded the RAM a week or so ago and it has been running fine. I put the new hard drive in last night and after a few hours, the flickering started.
I cloned the hard drive using SuperDuper and it all started up fine.
So far, I have verified and repaired permissions, checked SMART status and run a SMART Utility diagnostic. All comes back ok.
I cleared the PRAM and installed smcfan control as another forum with similar issues said it was a overheating problem and running the fan control program should fix it. I did that at 8am this morning and it has run great all day. Come 5.30pm, the flickering started and then it froze.. GREAT!!!!
It's so frustrating, I was really looking forward to having my MBP upgraded and running fast again.
Any ideas or tips would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

set old HD. If problem will gone - you have weakened power supply or internal power converters. Yours new HD draw more power during spinup or something - so voltage on internal bus lowers and memory or videocard freaks.
5.30 PM looks like a time when there begins a lot of load on city energy grid - so voltage in wall socket goes a bit unstable, it may also add to problem.
if problem is gone when you are on battery power - its power supply. If it persists or get worse when on battery - its internal power convertors.

free up your memo by removing unwanted items such as images,videos etc
