Windows 7 desktop unresponsive, must reboot several times.

I am having this issue on a number of machine in our environment where after a boot, the desktop becomes unresponsive.  I cannot open Windows Explorer, IE, control panel, nothing opens.  When I try to restart, the restart option from the Stat Menu
does not show up and I have to Shut Down.  I think the Server service is what's failing to start at boot but I can't even get in to view the running services.  The Event Log is also seeming to fail to start so there is not log of the errors taking
place.  This is very frustrating for my users who have to reboot several times before the computer will start working again.  Please help.

Hi,
So here we are in a domain environment? If yes, please verify if any group policy settings would casuing this problem;
Meanwhile, please boot in safe mode to see if this issue was caused by any 3rd party applications, also take a check to see if there is any conflicts between the devices and the drivers:
Start your computer in safe mode
Hope this may help
Best regards
Michael

    every time I try to uninstall firefox a window pops up and says that a previous upgrade was unsuccessful and I need to reboot. I have rebooted several times, I have downloaded a "fresh version" and installed it. It won't uninstall. Someone please help!!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

    Just had this same problem. Based on other suggestions I found on the web, went to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and deleted all files that ended with upgrade and/or delete. Then I was able to uninstall Firefox and then reinstalled. Hope this helps!

  • Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again.  I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

    Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again.  I have already rebooted several times? 

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    I downgraded the Time Capsule to 7.6.1
    I've had similar issues using a 4th Gen running 7.6.3 with OS 10.6.8, but have stuck with it because the performance with 7.6.1 was actually worse in my situation. Your own setup may well perform differently, but you might want to monitor your TC’s behavior closely for at least a while. Or just downgrade to 7.5.2, as LaPastenague suggested. In my case, downgrading to 7.6.1 — I have a recent 4th Gen, which won’t accept any earlier basebinary file — caused serious disk spin issues, a not uncommon problem to judge from the many complaints about it appearing on this list.
    Apple: improve your regression testing, please!
    My question: Does anyone have a sense, based perhaps on Apple‘s past practice, of whether it is at all likely that there will be future firmware upgrades for pre-802.11ac TCs — or should anyone currently using these legacy devices just abandon all hope at this point?

  • Reboots several times

    My Sprint 8350 reboots several times during the day either while listening to MP3 files or just sitting on my desk.  This is the second one I have that is doing the same thing.  Sprint first told me that I needed to clear the log file using Alt LGLG and deleting the file.  Next I was told to update the OS which I did.  Lastly, they told me to clear the emails I receive and that should fix the problem.  Now with my second phone it is doing all of the same thing.  Very frustrating.  Any one no of a solution?

    Do you have AppleCare? Even if you don't, take to the Apple store and tell them what happened. They should help even though it's a few months out of warranty. You might have to talk to a manager or different higher up.

  • How do I change firefox to open a new window when I start it several times instead of opening a new tab when I want to go to a different location?

    I want to go to several different websites at the same time. I want to compare the information on each site. I do not want to open a tab, I want a whole new window. How do I change firefox so it will open a new window instead of opening a new tab and then requesting the site I want to go to?

    In Windows XP I am able to right click a link and get an option to open it as a new Firefox window
    *'''tear off tabs'''
    You will probably note tabs can be dragged along the tab toolbar, they also tear off. You can click a tab and drag it off the browser onto the Windows Desktop where it will open as a new window, or drag it on to another open browser window.
    An alternative is to click the tab and drag it down, again it will then open in a new Window.

  • Getting message that :There is no connected Camera. I have rebooted several times and still can't get it back.

    When I go to use Photo Both, Facetime, I get "There is no connected Camera". I have a built in camera but don't know how to fix it. I have tried rebooting in three steps several times. First time it worked, but everytime I log back in, I get the message again and now the reboot does not bring the camera back. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or should do to fix it?

  • Lumia 520 rebooting several times a day

    I have a Lumia 520 that asks for the SIM PIN several times a day. I noticed in app System Information by Eyjo that when that happens, the operating time is very low. I never witnessed it but I assume it rebooted.
    What can I do? Thanks.

    Confirm that the Battery contacts are not loose .. Put a paper packing along with the Battery to rule out this possibility.
    Other major reason for this to happen is a faulty SIM. If your SIM is old or cut from a regular SIM, get one which is a ready Micro SIM.
