Lenovo T500 freezes at startup when updating to newest ATI driver (Windows 7 RC x64)

Hi I have a big problem with my lenovo T500. I installed Windows 7 RC x64 to my lenovo T500 (2082-53G) and when I install the ATI catalyst beta driver x64 v9.6 from ATI's homepage, my computer freezes at startup (some activity on HD but I can't move my mouse and many processes faile to start at boot). Problem occurs only when win7 beta driver for system interface or ricoh multicard reader is installed because it worked ok until I installed those drivers. I'm not the only one facing this problem: http://www.windows7news.com/forum/windows-7-hardware-help/lenovo-t500-thinkpad-wdm-radeon-3650-drive...
Please help me and thanks in advance!

My T400 did this. I installed Win 7 with integrated, installed the ATI 9.6 suite, and never really tried the discrete for the first few days. Then when I tried it, it would instantly freeze at the Welcome screen and the loading circle would just freeze up. 
I uninstalled the device and chose remove driver in device manager, and reinstalled the one from 7's original install and it still did this. Mine would just sit there and freeze up after the welcome screen when using discrete, however integrated always worked. I could only boot up in discrete with Safe Mode with Networking. 
I ended up doing a system restore to right after I installed Windows, before I installed the ATI 9.6, (4 days ago, so not too bad for me) and booted straight into discrete. Windows update installed the driver for me, now it works perfectly. I am currently using the discrete card with no freeze up issues in the last day.
If you can't do that, you may have to reformat, just let windows handle the ATI driver itself (boot into discrete while installing) and it should work.
I wish I could get the higher performance drivers, but I assume they will figure this issue out and fix it soon with the next driver release. 
Hope that helps you out.

    Okay.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Does anybody know where this comes from? Is it an incompatibility with Windows 7 x64? I have installed the latest Java SDK for Win64.
    I have another issue consisting in the fact that the Eclipse MJT plug-in is not abel to find any devices in the Java ME SDK 3 folder (see my post in the Eclipse forum [Post in Eclipse MJT forum|http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=156515&start=0&S=6f25cc6925ad7008453ee93ca55525a2]), does this have anything to do with the problem described above?
    Thanks for your help,

    Edit file "C:\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0\bin\java", replace the path of x64 jdk by path of x32 jdk.
    For example, my file contains "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21" and I change to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21".
    You need have a 32 bits jdk installed. Restart device managar after the change.
    Obs.: This happens because device manager need load a 32 bits DLL. So you need run they with a 32 bits jdk.
    With this method you don't need remove x64 jdk. You can stay with both jdk.

  • Dell Inspiron 8600 freezes on startup when iPod Nano is connected to USB

    I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and an iPod Nano. If I plug the iPod into the USB port and THEN startup the computer, the computer will reach the screen where it identifies the BIOS version, the one with the white progress bar on black background. The progress bar gets to around 95%, and then freezes forever.
    The only remedy is to force shutdown (hold down power switch), unplug the Nano, and restart the computer. If I do it that way, everything is fine.
    Is there any known issues with starting up Dell laptops with the iPod connected? Is it trying to boot from my iPod or some silliness like that? Any help is appreciated!
    My machine's BIOS is up-to-date, as is my iPod software.

    Hi aj,
    Niel's hit on it with the posted article, but I must ask the obvious question: Why start it up with the nano connected at all? Do you have problems connecting after you boot up?

  • Aperture vault is freezing at 50% when updating!

    I really need help on this! My aperture vault only seems to freeze and the progress bar is stuck at about 50%. I have to force quit aperture when this happens. I tried to make a new vault on a noter external disk. It is no help. I have a very powerful iMac. i7 SSD only one year old. Aperture version 3.3. The external disk is formated Mac OS Extended (journalført - norwegian Lion 10.7.4).
    This is bothering me very!!!!
    Someone!?

    Hi,
    If you have followed all the methods mentioned in "Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US (repair and rebuild etc.) then I would advice to wait and let it work longer. It may seem to get stuck but if you wait (not 5 minutes but 5 or 20 hours) it may go through.
    I have already had years issue that taking Vault backup takes tens of hours. I have tried all tricks mentioned in this forum (if you search you should find 20-30 threads about Vault being slow, freezing etc.). Everybody here knows better and says that it should not take that long and will advice you to do this and that, but if you look at those 20-30 threads not even half have resolution for the person who had the issue.
    I'm backing up the library instead, from SSD to HD it takes 15 minutes with CCC (block copy including verify), and faster from SSD to SSD. Here is thread I opened to ask if this is OK:

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 freezing on startup when loading ImporterQuickTime.prm

    Hi everybody,
    As the title suggests everytime I try run media encoder cs5 it freezes at the same point whilst trying to load the importerquicktime.prm file. I have tried googling around for a solution and have found a few people having the same problem but nobody seems to have found a fix.
    Does anybody know why it would freeze at this point, and how i could fix the issue?
    Kind regards,
    Gareth

    Hi Todd, thanks for the reply.
    I tried the suggestions in the link you provided by allowing adobe qt32 server.exe and dynamiclinkmanager.exe in and out connections. I even tried disabling the firewall temporarily altogether but it didnt help.
    I dont have afterfx.exe or pproheadless.exe (I have the design Premium CS5 suite, so no after effects or premiere for me unfortunately)
    Could it be something else causing the problem?
    Regards,
    Gareth

  • Mac Pro on 10.6.8 freezes after startup

    Since updating to 10.6.8 my 2009 MacPro will freeze after startup when opening finder, safari and itunes (so far). No beach ball and ForceQuit doesn't work. Resolved only by a hard shutdown with the off switch and restarting.  Never a problem on restart. This problem seems identical to that described in an archived discussion (after an update to 10.5).  Refer: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2018112?threadID=2018112  .
    I have followed those suggestions without success:
    -run AHT and no issues found
    -run disk utility to verify and repair permissions
    -used Rember to check memory and no issues
    Grateful for any suggestions; thank you.

    It means that a third-party system modification you installed is causing the problem.
    Reboot as usual (not in safe mode) if you haven't already done so. Don't launch any of your usual applications. Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Next, do the same thing with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Next, this command:
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Again, one line. Finally, one more:
    ls -1 /Library/{InputManagers,StartupItems}
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Mountain Lion - Random freezes at startup (apple logo)

    Anyone else with this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance

    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

  • Computer freeze when updating from OS 9.2 to 10.2

    Hi,
    I have a grey/blue ibook 366Mhz purchased the summer of 2000. I'm trying to update to OS 10.2. So far, I've updated from 9.06 to 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 (the required sequence), updated the firmware to 4.1.7, and installed third party RAM. I bought the install discs (10.2)from ebay. They are white colored and should work, according to the help files, although the seller did not send me the third "tools" disk.
    When I try to install 10.2, the computer freezes at startup. A grey screen with the apple logo appears, and then the screen freezes and splits.
    The point of this upgrade is to use our Verizon internet service, which requires OS X. If there's a way around that requirement, it would be just as good.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone. Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Andrew

    Andrew:
    You apparently have an Upgrade Version, which requires that you have the previous version installed on the HDD. What you need is the Full Retail Version. Check the picture of the disks posted by ali brown by clicking here However, instead of upgrading to Jaguar, since you have to purchase new install disks anyway, I suggest that you consider upgrading to Panther, which is a lot more powerful and stable OS. Your computer will easily support Panther if it meets that other the minimum system requirements for Panther.
    Panther is no longer available directly from Apple, but you can find the Full Retail Version of Panther, if you shop carefully, at online outlets like FastMac; HardcoreMac, AllMac etc. If you know what you are looking for, read all documentation carefully and ask questions of the seller, you may be able to get
    Panther on eBay.
    I will probably contact the ebay seller, since he gave the impression that he was selling the full retail version.
    I definitely think you should do so.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.
    Cheers

  • Freeze during startup after SW update from 10.4 - 10.4.8

    After updating to 10.4.8, my machine would freeze during startup (at the gray screen with the apple and spinner) and give me the "Please restart your computer" message in a few languages.
    I thought it might be a RAM issue, so I removed all third party RAM - same problem.
    I replaced all of the RAM with RAM from another G5 that I know worked - same problem
    I moved the HD from my G5 to another G5 that was working - same problem (I believe that eliminates the motherboard and any other components from being the problem).
    I thought that the HD might be bad, so I replaced it with a brand new SATA drive, installed 10.4 and it worked perfectly, ran all of the SW updates (including the combined 10.4.8 update) and I get the same freezing again when I reboot.
    Any suggestions are appriciated!

    Hi Joe,
    Welcome to the only place where you can get friendly advice.
    Ok have you tried starting up from the installer / restore CD that came with the mac and run disk utility??
    Try hardware test doing the extended test in a loop to try and find the base of the Kernel panic (thats what the "you need to restart your computer" image indicates)
    For info and guidance on Kernel panics see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
    and trouble shooting info:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
    for extensive advice on solving the kernel panics see:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    Worst case senario it could be the G5 processors, make sure you have applecare; just in case it gets expensive!!

Maybe you are looking for
