  • Just had a complet system crash, had to reboot with power buton.

    Dear all,
    Some days ago I had a random Xorg crash while I was reading my emails. It happend just once, I though it was nothing. A few minutes ago, monitor went black, sound stopped, num lock light freezed (pressing the button didnt turned it off), alt+printscr+{b,o} did nothing.
    How can I discover what caused this?
    I also see some problems with how the image in monitor is showed, here one example of the botton of the page "create new topic" in this forum:
    Some windows appears with repetitions when resized (I use awesome window manager). But I do not know if this is related to the crash problem.
    Some logs:

    Is this a hardware problem??

    Using a vacuum cleaner around a computer is extremely bad advice.  Vacuum cleaners build up static on them as part of their normal use.  If you happen to make contact with a part of your computer and the vacuum that will discharge the static.  Any static discharge has the potential to fry your computer components - they are very fragile chips when it comes to electricity.  Do not use a vacuum on your computer.  Compressed air cans are what you should be using however the entire line of thought that it may be dust build up causing a poor connection is suspect itself.  You can make sure that the components inside your computer are well seated in their slots if you wish to explore that possibility.  The suggestion of switching to the open-source driver is most likely to provide quality feedback.  Be sure to read:

  • Had to do system recovery Help!

    My computer kept shutting down on its own I had to do system recovery and lost everything on my computer. I reloaded the Itunes software and of course all my music is now gone. It took me forever to have my music on itunes just like I wanted and most of my music was from CD's I own. How can I just import all the music from my Iphone into Itunes. I don't want to loose it from my phone also and I can't do it from Itunes because I did not buy music directly from itunes.

    Shouldnt matter if you didnt buy the songs directly from itunes or not. You will just have to reload everything back to your computer from the cds. It impossible with the iphone to get them off and back into the computer. Its possible with an ipod if every media file was transfered from your computer to the ipod. Even if you downloaded illegally is still possible to reload back into itunes.
    I suggest buying or borrowing a large hard drive. I havent come across a problem with taking your previousely purchased cds and not being able to load them back into the computer because of itunes. It is tediouse but there no restrictions when you sync back up.

  • System Recovery Options in Windows 7 (MBP and Parallels)

    I realize it is probably debatable (perhaps at best) if this belongs here but I have borked my Windows 7 installation on my MacBookPro running Snow Leopard and I now see this after opening Parallels and either starting or shutting down the virtual machine:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15285654/Screen%20shot%202011-11-25%20at%2011.13.16%20AM .png
    I am trying to follow some system recovery recommendations and I can't quite figure out if I need to hold down "Fn + F8" upon a Restart of the Virtual Machine - or if I should put the install Disk in and then somehow /boot/ to the CD Rom or what:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-are-the-system-recovery-options -in-Windows-7
    If anyone has any advice I'd love to fix this problem without a full re-install of Win 7.
    Thanks.

    Thanks - but I can't seem to install it! Even in compatibility mode. I get an error box telling me to check nothing else is running (...), and a message saying it has encountered error code -6003.
    Could this have something to do with me running Windows 7 x64?
    Thank you...

  • Have just install itunes on a new PC running windows 8 and I am getting very bad distortion when playing music, any ideas

    Have just install itunes on a new PC running windows 8 and I am getting very bad distortion when playing music, any ideas. Music on web (youtube) is working fine.

    Use a different browser.
    iTunes can only be installed and run in desktop mode.

  • Had to do system recovery, now can't download some items on ipod

    I had to do a system recovery on my computer and unfortunately have lost my intall disk for my ipod. Now, itunes will allow me to link my ipod to download songs, but some of my purchases, it will not recognize. Is there a way to download the softward for the Ipod video so that I can add in the serial number of it, etc so it knows that my ipod is the one that should be linked? Hope this makes sense since I am not the most technologically savvy.
    Thanks for any help!
    Melissa

    Now, itunes will allow me to link my ipod to download songs, but some of my purchases, it will not recognize.
    try playing one of the purchases in itunes for a few seconds. do you get asked to authorise the PC? if so, and if you do, will the purchases transfer to the ipod afterwards?

  • System Recovery disk for Windows 8.1

    Hi, I have upgraded my pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Every thing went ok. Now I have upgraded it to Windows 8.1. So far every thing went fine. However, can some one tell me how I can create a System Recovery Disk at this stage? I have managed to create
    a Recovery Drive USB stick. 

    Hi,
    According to your description, I suggest you use system image backup to create a System Image.
    You may refer to the following steps:
    1.Press Win+Q, search File history. Then click it in the display list.
    2.In the File History control panel that appears, look in the lower left corner. The option you're looking for is System Image Backup. Click that, and the familiar Create a System Image wizard appears.
    Hope this helps.

  • System Recovery hangs on "Windows could not complete the installation"

    Just purchased the recovery media from HP (3 DVD + App/Driver DVD, see below), followed instructions on clean recovery and the install hangs at first Windows login with the following error:
    "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation"
    Well, I've started fresh 3 times now with the same results. (3 hours each time)
    I was able to start task manager at this error, I even tried to hold down shift and click restart. Doing that, I get the message windows can't be installed in safe mode. I was thinking of doing a plain Windows install but there is no product key on the laptop
    Thoughts?
    -David 

    Problem resolved. Make sure you use the boot from DVD UEFI option.

  • How do I recover my foxfire stuff after a complete system recovery on my PC

    I came down this morning and my PC was in recovery mode! I was able to back up my system before restoring is, but I don't know how to get my bookmarks and speed dial sites to load up into my newly installed version on Firefox.
    I can see all my backed up info files for firefox on my PC.
    when I go into the recovery, Apps/roaming/firefox/ there is file or directory with random letters and numbers. When I do to bookmarks library in my NEWLY INSTALLED version of Firefox, the file or directly has a different set of random letters and numbers. I am wondering if every new install gets a new one of those files/directories as my old one is not being recognized in my new version of firefox.
    Thanks

    Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
    You can redownload some purchases in some countries:

    Greetings to all,  How do I create a system restore point, using a date that I choose ?  I need to pick a date before the incident happend. The date listed are when the incident happened.Thank you Ldxrunner.

    If there is no restore point in the time period you want to go back to, then you're not going to be able to.
    To create a restore point right now, you can do so through System Restore itself.

  • System Recovery without disc windows 8.1 help please

    Hello.
    My computer originally came with windows 7.  I upgraded to windows 8.1 professional.  My computer has a partitioned hard drive with only 2 visible files, one of which is called RECOVERY.  I can't make a recovery CD as I do not have an optical drive on this computer.  Recovery Manager will not recognize the partition.  From the F11 screen, it keeps telling me to insert media.  I want to bring my computer back to the original state it was when I purchased it to start from scratch.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  I've been searching and searching and keep getting nowhere.
    Thank you !

    Hi there
    Identify your laptop model name, product number:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c00033108
    The Windows upgrading must have corrupted the HP recovery partition, so you might not be able to recovery from it any more.
    If you haven't created recovery media to now, You have to order recovery USB (only) directly from HP in your region and use that to reinstall everything back to factory settings:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=bph07143
    Perform Factory reset:
