HP Pavilion p6670t desktop randomly freezing with distortion to monitor (suspect hardware issues)
HP Pavilion p6670t desktop
Intel Core i3 550
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel HD graphics
I get random freezing on my computer with distortion to the screen (some of the colors look off, and I see thick purple vertical lines).
I'm not running any labor intensive processes (sometimes not even doing anything when it freezes). The temperatures are cool.
No BSOD.
I ran HP's hardware diagnostics tools, and everything passed. Ran Memtest on each individual stick and all together, and they all passed as well.
I suspect video hardware problems, but since it is integrated with my mainboard, I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions before I go out and buy new hardware.
Thanks!
when the blue screen comes up next time, write down any error codes (long string of numbers) this will give you an idea on what the problem could be. write them down and either come back here or google the code... it sounds like hardware failing... could be your hard drive or maybe ram failing. one thing you can do is open it up and make sure you remove all the dust and lint from the inside and you can re-seat your ram chips along with checking your Hard Drive cable/ribbon

No more "random freezing" with my MbP ....
...since I installed Safari 4 Beta 10 days ago!
Before Safari 4, I had 2-3 freezes per day when using the 9600 graphics Chip. Not just using Safari but using all kinds of programs (with safari closed!). This has been a huge problem for many people.
See this link for more info: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1767718&tstart=0&messageID=908 2914#9082914
Now, since I installed Safari 4 beta: not a single freeze in 10 days! and some other people see the same thing.
This is very weird no? The system is supposed to be designed so that a single program can not crash the whole system, no?! So now that the new version of Safari solves a permanent system crash problem, it looks like the problem was safari 3.x.x, which should not happen! Or...maybe Safari 4 contains also some System updates that were not published...
Well at least the problem seems to be solved, hope it doesn't come back! Would have been nice to know what the exact problem was though...Unless I'm remembering wrong, there have been incidences of "random freezing" after installing Safari 4.
The system is supposed to be designed so that a single program can not crash the whole system, no?!
It is. The random freezing is very likely not a software issue though, so this point does not apply to the issue at all. The system software is not "crashing" in these cases of random freezing. It is much more likely that there is some hardware issue that causes the system to just freeze.
Or...maybe Safari 4 contains also some System updates that were not published...
This is actually likely, but I doubt that it fixed your freezing issue. Webkit (the underlying engine of Safari) was substantially upgraded in Safari 4. Webkit (being an open-source standard that Apple develops) is also used in some other areas of OS X for rendering HTML content. So, when the Webkit engine is updated as a result of a Safari update, there are changes occurring at a system level.
Again, I would really really really doubt that this update fixed your freezing. However, if it isn't freezing anymore, then I guess we shouldn't complain.

Random freezes with kernel 2.6.34 and xorg 1.8
The other day I upgraded the kernel to version 2.6.34 and at the same time xorg-server to 1.8 (along with input drivers and video drivers). From that moment, I suffer from random freezes, the system is completely locked up; the screen doesn't blank, though. The system appears to be perfectly fine, but after some minutes it will freeze.
As far as I can remember, the freezes only occur when using a webbrowser. Chromium is my default browser, but also Firefox and Konqueror caused the system to freeze completely when I want to open a webpage. Other network programs such as irssi can run for hours and they didn't seem to cause any havoc.
At first I thought this might be caused by some instability in the latest xf86-video-ati driver, so I downgraded back to xorg-server 1.7. Still the same symptoms, so I am pretty sure now there's something in the kernel. So I went back to xorg-server 1.8 and downgraded the kernel to 2.6.33. So far, the system hasn't let me down, yet. Also, I uninstalled the madwifi packages on my system so I'm using the ath5 drivers shipped with the kernel. That change doesn't seem to make a difference.
I am not exactly sure what exactly could cause this, there's no trace in any log file to be found. My suspicion is that it's network related.
The hardware is a Thinkpad T42 with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (r300) chip and an Atheros wireless card.
Anyone else with similar experiences with this hardware? I can't think of a way how to properly debug this. I know I can bisect, but that's time consuming and perhaps it's quicker to ask around first before I walk down that road. Any suggestions are welcome on how to track this down.The last time I used arch was to do the updates, just got back to using it and crash!
Mine boots up to the point of the UDev events, but when I change the boot line to use /dev/sdxx instead of the /dev/disk/by-id/ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I go to the next step where the video mode changes, then it freezes. Half the other time it would stop at udev and either blank out totally or just stop. I don't even get a full bootup (standard or fallback). My other archs boot just fine.
Downgraded the kernel to the immediate previous kernel before .34 and booted upto the point of the window manager, so I think it's a problem with either the video driver or the xorg, because they were both updated at the same time, but the kernel may be a bit buggy also. (Of course, using the chroot and the arch install CD appropriate for my arch). Also, it only shows up on one screen on the dual headed setup, which makes obvious which one isn't working.
When the kernel calls the videomode (same one that can be called from kernel command line), that's when it is dying. The only machine I'm having trouble with is the same one that will be the only one to do any updates, maybe this will fix the problem.
The updates didn't make any difference. It still hangs at the videomode change. Was able to get a read out one time that one of the video cards had wrong ROM contents?
Have had to use the top level ftp.archlinux.org just to get the most recent updates, without having to fish through mirrors.
My presumption is that the kernel/video hardware is just not working in console mode or the graphics mode.
Strangely enough both of my hardwares, one is a mobile intel 945 and the other is a desktop 945. The mobile works without a hitch, and the desktop freezes.

Random Freeze with { UNC } error - hard disk problems?
Hi,
My laptop randomly freezes for a couple of seconds frequently. I am running 2.6.30-ARCH in a dell inspiron. I did a check on the /var/log/errors.log and found the follwing block of errors occuring over and over again as soon as the freeze up happens.

i did some googling and found out this may be due to damaged areas in the hard disk or the hard disk is about to fail. (is it true?)
I followed some other thread, used system rescue cd and did a fsck -f on the root partition. I still keep getting these randon freezes. is there anything i can do to fix these?
your help is appreciated.
Last edited by greylogic (2009-09-27 03:00:43)I used the 80 wire cable that came with the board and ran the WD's jumperless (cable select) with the drive at one end and the blue connector on the MB. I also tried a 40 wire cable with the drive set to master. Both of these scenarios worked fine on my other computer, which I switched back and forth several times to prove to myself that the drives were fine and the cables were ok.
I did run spinrite from dos and was always able to work with the drives as long as I selected LBA access and disabled [Integrated Peripherals]->[VIA OnChip IDE Device]->[IDE DMA Transfer Access].
The MB never autodetected any of the drives correctly. Only when I used the the older WD 1200JB with access mode set to [LBA] and disabled IDE DMA Transfer Access did i get partial success. Admittedly, this is a very obscure problem and not many others are hitting. Hopefully the service guys will be able to sort it out since it is easy to reproduce.
I never used that JPWR2 connector, the manual stated that it was to supply power to the graphics card but my card has a regular 4 pin molex that i could get directly from the power supply. Wonder if the board would blow up if someone stuck the 4pin lead from their PSU in there ... maybe not such a great feature.
I did not try a single CPU or run memtest86 - things I probably should have tried. The problem to me seemed to be the integrated IDE controller was just not working correctly, so after changing ram, power supply, drives etc and seeing the exact same problem with the hard disk, I became more convinced it was just a flakey board. Plus the need to clear CMOS and reboot constantly to get the board to post added to theory.
Oh well, it is in RMA land now, so when it comes back I will let you know how it goes. -
HP DV6000 randomly freezing with Arch Linux
Hello,
Just to clarify I am working with Arch Linux as a Web Developer, therefore I do have special needs such as having 20+ tabs open with vital information in different pages.
I can assure that after using Windows XP, Windows 7, xUbuntu, Linux Mint and Ubuntu I have never had such breaks or freezes in this machine.
The freezes are identifiable when the mouse seems to be very slow to move, the computer very slow to respond, the cursor of the icon does not change within the context where it is, I can't even open the menu bar to access the terminal (using Terminator).
After noticing these randomly freezes, I've started to keep the Terminator open with top command inserted. After seeing the values of percentage usage in CPU or RAM, the levels don't even go up more than 20%. However, I notice that the laptop suddenly starts heating a lot.
The solution is just to wait with some luck about 10 minutes. If it does not go on after that, I need to turn off the computer by pressing the button or unplugging the battery (yeah, the battery is dead too).
Some main packages I currently use are:
- Cinnamon
- Filezilla
- Netbeans PHP IDE 8.0
- Skype
- Geany
- 7-Zip FM
- Adobe Flash Player
- Chromium (my main browser)
- Firefox
- SSH
- Htop
- VLC Media Player
- Terminator
Any ideas of what could it be?
Thanks!

It seems you do not have any swap. Correct?
Could you provide the output of dmesg after the occurance?
Yes, you are correct, I do not have any swap. Would I benefit from it? I guess I never used it.
After the occurance you mean, after the freeze? I will try to do it, but it is rare the case when the computer is able to not freeze at all.
Got it now:

Random freezes with INSERT-HANG-DETECTED in system log
Hi,
Since a few months I am experiencing random freezes on my early 2011 MacBook Pro 15". Sometimes they occur every few minutes and sometimes they can be away for hours. During the freeze the system is not responding and often a spinning beachball is shown. After the freeze the system resumes to work as normal.
In the system log (/var/log/system.log) I noticed the following messages which seem to have a timestamp corresponding to the freeze:
WebProcess[151]: INSERT-HANG-DETECTED: Tx time:28.505937, # of Inserts: 1, # of bytes written: 4875, Did shrink: NO
Does anyone know what these messages mean?
It doesn't seem to be related to the application that is in use during the freeze. Most of the time I only use Mail, Safari, Calendar, Terminal and Preview. My system (10.6.8) is fully up-to-date. The Activity Monitor does not show exceptional CPU or Memory usage.
What could also be relevant is that the freezes started to appear a week after I replaced a defective Hitachi HDD with a Crucial M4 SDD.
Does anyone have had the same issues with this SSD?
Thanks in advance for any help.
MaartenThis is an update to the question above.
I put in the original HDD and had the same issues. At one time it didn't even boot anymore. Then I sent in my MBP for repair. They first replaced the HDD with no success. Then they replaced the logic board and all issues dissapeared.

Computer Randomly Freezing withing past few weeks
Hi,
more recently my computer randomly will freeze up several times of the day either if I'm just sitting here doing something on it or go away for awhile to find that it has froze. Sometimes when It freezes though, everything will be frozen and unclickable, but yet the mouse will still be able to move around. Control, Alt, Delete will not work at this time either. So I then will have no choice but to turn it off and back on from the power button. If you need any more info to help acess the problem, feel free to ask.
Could use some help.
Important details:
I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE
Operating System: Windows 7
Virus Protection: Kaspersky Internet Security 2014
Age of computer: Aprox. 5 y/o123,
At the least, eliminating possible "trouble spots" makes it easier to find the underlying reasons that things are not working as they should.
You might spend some time staring at the Resource Monitor to see if any one or two processes are hogging the CPU or perhaps creating another type of bottleneck.
Another thing to look for: Too many or the wrong kind of browser addons. Some of the addons are pretty nice; some addons can end up costing you CPU cycles while they spin and check and process whatever information they must digest.
Happy New Year 2014!
Kind Regards,

Win 7 randomly freezes with HDD light on
I'm struggling with this for some time now. My win 7 x64 just freezes from time to time with HDD light on constantly. I've read almost all threads, tried almost every advise, but just could't solve the issue.
I have win 7 Enterprise x64 + SP1 installed on PC:
Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @2.66GHz
Gigabyte P43-ES3G
8GB RAM (4x2GB Kingston DDR2),
2x1TB HDD (WD)
NVIDIA FeForce 9500GT
Next, I'll list what I've already tried (without success) to not waste anybody's time - tried to change hardware, scan HDD for errors, set memory timings, reinstall win, scan for viruses, update all drivers, update BIOS.
(Maybe) important is that the same thing happens in safe mode. However, I've got no problems with other OSs like Linux or Win XP x64.comibat & ddrouin: Usually when I run into situations like this, the presumption is that its a relatively new issue, meaning, you haven't have this problem from day 1 of computer
ownership. Right? So, the first thing is to examine what changed recently? We should be considering things like, but not limited to, the following:
Application installation or removal
System configuration change
Driver installation or removal
Hardware installation or removal
Windows updates
Etc.
comibat:
When you boot into Safe Mode (with & without networking; that could be key) & let it sit, for a while, does it seem to hang?
When you performed a clean boot & left it for a while, it also hung, correct?
Does it seem to matter whether or not your machine is connected to a network (wired or otherwise)?
If this something repeatable, like within an hour for instance, you may want to load up Resource Monitor & leave it in the foreground until it happens. When it comes back to normal there should be some results for review. (It may not update
while its in its hung state, but, when it 'comes back to life' it should show you throughput, usage etc and the process(es) associated with it. Unfortunately, this may mean leaving the computer on for a while & not touching it. (Unless
of course its unique to a sequence of events.)
You should consider loading up Performance Monitor as well and creating a counter. Unfortunately, this is probably something you'll just have to let run until it happens, then make note of the date & time for review once it 'comes back to life'.
I would do some research on Performance Monitor & how to setup counters. You could try this counter...
Logman.exe create counter Perf-Counter-Log-1sec -o "c:\perflogs\PerfTest1sec.blg" -f bincirc -v mmddhhmm -max 500 -c "\LogicalDisk(*)\*" "\Memory\*" "\Network Interface(*)\*" "\Paging File(*)\*" "\PhysicalDisk(*)\*" "\Processor(*)\*" "\Process(*)\*" "\Server\*" "\System\*" -si 00:00:01
ddrouin: If you haven't already done so, you may want to consider starting your own thread. (I haven't checked, just a suggestion incase you have not) That said: In addition to the
above, is there any commonality between the three systems (the Lenovo, Asus & your friend's computer)? -
Constant Random Freezing with iPhoto 6.0.3
I've been having the most frustrating time with the latest iPhoto 6.0.3 update. Ever since this particular update, iPhoto has constantly been beachballing, and I have to force quit it almost all the time. There really is no pattern to when it happens. It could be when I am impOrting photos from my new Kodak V530 or it could be when I am browsing through pictures. Initially I thought it was my camera, but then almost any action that I do in iPhoto results in a beachball.
I've tried using BatChomd, to fix the ownership and permissions. This morning I tried to use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library, but of course, somewhere during the process, iPhoto froze and I had to restart it, but it kept quiting anytime IPLM tried to reimport the photos from where it froze. I've also deleted the iPhoto preferences.
I am at my wits end at what to do. I have over 5500 photos and am starting to get concerned that I may have to reinstall OS 10.4. I have not tried using iPhoto with another user account though. Will that change anything? Any help would be appreciated.
TIA!
PowerMac Dual G4 1.25ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.0 gb RAMI am having a similar problem to aiquille's. In my case, any time I try to go back in the photo library file beyond the last 2 or 3 import-downloads from my Canon A80, the little round ball starts spinning and iPhoto in effect freezes. Many of the files I imported from iphoto on my older computer (iMacG4) to my iBook G4 come through as blank gray rectangles or they don't come through at all and I get a message saying they are unreadable. Several times I have seemingly lost the entire library of nearly 5,000 photos and then when I try to rebuild, many of the photos won't come through. I know they are there somewhere in the computer, but I can't load them onto my iPhoto library. I am not a computer geek by any stretch, so please reply so an idiot can follow! Sorry! Many thanks!

Strange problem with desktop applications randomly freezing
Hi guys,
Over the past two weeks I've noticed that a few, very specific applications, have been crashing horrifically for me. Specifically, they're Firefox, Chromium and Eclipse and anything else powered by Java as well. I found the Eclipse issue people talked about on here regarding the upgrade to Xulrunner, but they only partially fix my problem.
What happens is the applications will randomly freeze, completely. The gui locks up and the window becomes a grey box, and the only way I can get rid of the window is with kill -9.
I've tried figuring out what's wrong, but honestly I have no idea. I'm running 32bit Arch, with a Nvidia 8800GTX card on the official binary drivers, using Openbox. Everything as of the time of this post is up to date throug Pacman.
Also, with the amount of problems I'm seeing on Gnome3 in here, what about creating a temporary sub-forum to hold them all? It would certainly tidy this one up a lot.My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine. -
HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista black screen - need help please!
I have an HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista. Yesterday it was working fine and today we have the black screen that reads:
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Found CDROM, try to boot from it...Fail
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting floppy drive A media...
Drive A error. System halt
I am not a techie, but looked at online forums and have tried f10 at startup with no change to the screen other than it stops after the first four lines and does not try the floppy drive. I also pulled out the round battery, waited and then reintstalled. Same problem.
Also, computer emits a single, repeating beep after startup.
HELP!jjeahall
I saw your post and wanted to comment. I'm not an expert on these types of situations but did some digging around and found the following at Tips4PC.com.... read below
"There are two types of computer black screens that can appear in Windows. One where the computer will not boot up but you have a beep sequence sounding to let you know what the problem could be, and the other has nothing at all. No beeps, no cursor, no logo screen, and no choice to boot to safe mode or access the bios.
If your computer will not boot up and you get a beep sequence, I am not saying it is good news, however it is a step in the right direction towards solving this problem. This is a message from your computer that can be understood by looking up your bios (the brand) beep code. For example you may have an Award Bios, Ami Bios, Phoenix BIOS, Compaq, Dell, or Acer Bios. This list goes on and on. You can search for Bios beep codes in Google. Here is an example of results in Google search"
Link
Also I went into the Troubleshooting Guide for the A6000 and found the following information. You need to use F11 for recovery. See below
Starting System Recovery from system startup
1
Turn off the computer. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the computer
turns off.
2
Remove the HP Personal Media Drive if your computer includes one. Disconnect all
peripheral devices from the computer except the monitor, the keyboard, and the
mouse.
3
Press the On button to turn on the computer.
4
During the startup, do the following to enter the Recovery Manager program:
When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F11 key on the
keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F11 key before the normal
startup process continues.)
5
The computer starts the Recovery Manager program; wait for the onscreen instructions
to display, and then follow those instructions.
6
Complete the computer startup, finish the registration process, and wait until you see
the desktop. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on
the computer.

Random hard freezes with 10.9.1
I am experiencing random "Hard" (spinning ball, inability to force quit) freezes with my new 27" iMac. I bought the new machine in December and migrated the hard disk contents from my 3 year old 27" iMac. Over the last month the freeezes have occured at least once every week, but twice yesterday. In one instance the only application in use was Apple Mail. So far today it's been behaving. Both Thunderbolt and USB hard drives were both mounted in every instance.
Any suggestions?Lex, Here are the results of my Etrecheck run today. I note that the producer says it prouces the best results if the computer has been running for some time and I've just rebooted from a hard freeze. I don't know what this means. I also don't know how to dig any actionabable information out of what follows. Can you help?

Random freeze, always when using 'save as' or 'open with' or 'attach'
For quite a while now I get random freezes (no specific event started this, and I cannot remember if it did it pre-10.6 it used to be very sporadic and gotten worse over time). I first thought it had to do with my temp control in my graphic card (RadeonX1900), since I had a lot of freezes when playing games. I controlled that by cleaning the dust and using smcFanControl, but I still have the random freezes. So I think this is something unrelated to temp control...
It happens randomly, sometimes once a week, sometimes 10 times a day, and it doesn't seem to relate to the amount of usage and what kind of usage on the mac.
But always these kind of events triggers it: 'save as' in any application. 'open with' in the finder. 'attach' in Mail. So whenever an application needs to show me what is on my computer (excuse my lack of technical terms). And it seems to happen more often when timemachine is backing up.
When it happens the only thing to do is to restart by holding the power button.
I run cocktail once a week, I have cleaned up using Clean My Mac. I have done a reinstall of snow leopard.
I would like to avoid doing an erase and install since I do not have the discs for a lot of software and the ones I do have, it would take forever to get everything installed and running again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
DanielleI've used that version on Tiger quite well, but if you're worried, I can give you a direct download link to an older archived one, (batchmod_137.dmg).
But I think something stranger is going on now, I'd try this Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process. -
BB Desktop freezes with 9630 in bluetooth mode
I am running BB Desktop 5.0 and Vista, with a 9630. I was able to sync with outlook using the BB Desktop and bluetooth to my phone at first, but now it has stopped working. The BB Desktop application freezes up when initially communicating with the device when the application launches. The 9630 goes into desktop communication mode, as you see the icon of the PC and the BB on its screen, but there is no activity going on (no arrows shooting back and forth). The Desktop app goes into grey screen mode, like it is frozen. It just sits there forever.
Anyone else seen this? I have tried reinstalling, re-pairing the device, everything.
Thanks.I am going to update this thread, the same thing happens in USB mode!
So its not a bluetooth issue really. I think it has to do with the BB device communication stack. The Desktop app is waiting for a response so they both just sit there.
While connected with USB, I can use windows explorer to view the contents of the media card on the BB.
wah! being able to sync contacts and calendars is pretty important. This is a deal breaker if the Desktop app can't communicate with the device. -
10.6.4 with Filevault - random freeze at login
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue:
When logging in into account on Mac running 10.6.4 with Filevault turned on, the system will randomly freeze showing beach-ball or the mouse cursor (black arrow pointer). It does not respond to any key presses any mouse clicks. Only powering off shuts off the computer. On next boot it either does the same thing or logs in the user account - again randomly.
I created multiple user accounts (both admin and limited user) with same effect when Filevault is turned on. It happens in situations when the system is loading other extensions, say Little Snitch, Menu Meters or none at all.
The freezing goes away as soon as Filevault is turned off, no matter if the OS is loading start-up items or not.
I have formatted the hard disk and did a complete re-install, Archive-Install, talked with Apple Support but the problem remains unresolved. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
What I see in the OS's secure.log is:
10-10-28 12:00:02 PM authorizationhost[49979] Failed to authenticate user (tDirStatus: -14090).You most likely had a corrupted system prior to upgrading. The solution is to reinstall OS X. Snow Leopard's installer will replace the current system with a new one but preserve your Home folder, third-party applications, network prefs, etc. Hopefully this will fix the problem. If it does then reinstall the 10.6.4 combo updater.

Since the update, when I use ical , and am on the day view, I no longer can scroll down through multiple days; it stops at one day only. Seems like a poor design change. Any idea how to reverse this?
