Windows 7 Professional  Freezing

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me on this one. Just bought new 17" macbook pro. Installed Windows 7 64 bit professional on it. Everything is fine apart from it frequently freezes. I have no choice but to do a hard reboot. Checked the windows event log and there are no error messages. Only thing that seems out of the ordinary is that if I look at my devices, the macbook pro has a issue with the intel chip drivers. I have un-installed and installed them but this message still appears (original boot camp drivers). The freezes are completely random and it is only used for light office work (excel, word, outlook).

also have to use sage and a few other bits of software which are not available for the mac. connect to the works server so windows is the only choice. to be honest windows 7 is actually good and has its good/bad points just like mac os x.

  • Windows 8 Freezes after last "Lenovo Settings Update" anytime the pointer goes to a corner

    After the most recent "Lenovo Settings Update", my Windows 8 freezes for a few minutes (minimum of two) anytime the pointer hits one of the hot corners.  The system also freezes for a couple of minutes or less when certain apps are started or the mouse clicks on certain apps.  This is a repeatable error.  I can restore the system to the setpoint previous to the "Lenovo Settings Update" and everything works fine.  re-Install the update and the problem comes back.  The system also freezes for 5-10 seconds when an e-mail message comes in and the notification appears.  Also happens under other different circumstances but the worst is when the mouse pointer goes to any "Hot Corner".  I can reset the system to the last restore point and have everything work fine but anytime I go to "Lenovo Settings", it forces the update which then creates this problem.
    Has anyone else seen this issue?  I have all the updates for Windows 8 and Lenovo installed including all new Bios updates that are published.  The model is  a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S320u (otherwise known as the "Twist". The error is repeatable in all screen modes, tablet modes and multiple monitor modes.
    For now I will go back to the latest restore point but would like to see the issue resolved.
    Thanks.

    I had the exact same issue with the same computer (Thinkpad Twist)! Am very happy to have come accross this page through a web search.
    After installing some updates through Lenovo Update App (because of a message that critical updates are available on the Lenovo Support App from Startscreen), my whole system would freeze for about two minutes when moving the cursor over any corner. This is very troublesome not only because it effectively disables the Windows 8 "hot corners" (which I didn't use much anyway, preferring to launch the tasks thus accessible differently), but mostly because it is necessary at times to access the corners, notably to close any document, webpage or other instance of any program that was open in full screen (which usually all of my docs/programs are, considering the Twist's small screensize...).
    Afer reading rbagnall's post I first tried uninstalling updates through the Lenovo Update center. But there, once installed, updates don't seem to be removable. Why Lenovo? You can look at the list of installed updates but not make any change. Now I have followed rbagnall's advice and restored my computer with a restore point, sufficiently far back, as I didn't know exactly which update caused this. It worked! Not exactly pleasant, because I had to reinstall some programs and change some settings again, but the problem got resolved.
    I went further and tried to see which update causes this by installing them one by one and seeing when the problem appears. The culprit seems to be "Display Mode Orientation Update for Windows 8". One needs to install the "Lenovo Power Management Driver" with it (which is actually listed under optional updates, whereas the Display Mode update is shown as a critical one, but the former is selected automatically when the later is chosen, and one cannot unselect it, a message appears then that it is necessary for the other update). So it could be that one as well (haven't checked whether installing it without the Display Mode update creates the same problem). In any case, once these are installed, the problem appears.
    I have now restored my PC again to the restore point, and haven't installed any Lenovo update, not even the other critical one, as I don't know what it's for (Critical patch to fix TVSU UTS issue - I haven't had this issue, and any web entries on this I found dated back to 2009). In the optional updates there is also a BIOS update, which I had installed previously, but I don't know what it's for either. If there is anything terribly useful in either (or other optional updates), please tell me.
    For now I have uninstalled the Lenovo Support Startscreen App (which seems to be more annoying than helpful), and will refrain from updating any Lenovo drivers from now, which seems to do more harm than good (everything was working fine before the update)...

  • Windows is freezing.

    Hi, Windows is freezing on my boot camp setup.
    It's not a blue screen, the screen just freezes and my only option is to hard reboot the machine.
    Upon reboot, Windows does not have any crash dumps to report.
    I already ran a RAM test using mdsched.exe and no memory errors were found.
    I am running Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64, Boot Camp 3.2, on a MacBook 5,1 model with 4GB of RAM.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?
    I'm about to install Win7 x86 just to see if it works better...
    Thanks!

  • Transfering files from Windows machine freezes my wi-fi connection

    Guys, this is very weird, and it started to happen a week ago.
    I use finder to connect to my windows machine on my home network, and after typing my password, I get access to the folder in the windows machine that I want.
    The problem is: any file I try to transfer FROM or TO the windows PC freezes up mac os X after some seconds of transfer ... like a 60 mb file, it freezes after 20mb have been transfered ... and that's not only it ...
    It freezes mac os x until I get the message "Connection to server LOST", and I only can get back on the network if I literally shut down my wi-fi router, because my macbook simply can't get DNS ip assigned again, it always auto-assign some weird ip and doesn't come back to the network till I restart my wi-fi router.
    What in the **** may be going on ? Remember, it started to happen lately, it was not like this before !

  • 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;
    iMac
    24-inch, Early 2008
    Processor  3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Geheugen  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Videokaart  NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

    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.

  • Windows 8 freezing when using Firefox

    When I'm using Firefox or Chrome browsers the whole entire PC is freezing.
    Already posted my issue on the Microsoft Community forum, where you can read the details and the troubleshooting steps I tried:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-freezing-when-using-chrome-or-firefox/d6bad301-6c55-4469-96cb-0ec3d43e1113
    Also I found another post here on the Mozilla forum, who had the same issue and he did not seem to solve it either: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975278?esab=a&as=aaq
    Please help me to fix this annoying issue! Thx!

    Well, the MS site was a bust, wasn't it?
    it would help to know how Firefox is configured.
    Can you send me your troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having issues? This is a good part in troubleshooting.
    *Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
    *Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
    Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
    *Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Note that if this issue happens in both Chrome <b>and</b> Firefox that it may be a system issue and not a Firefox related issue,
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br>
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br>
    All these programs have free versions.

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio + Windows 7 = Freeze

    &X-Fi Xtreme Audio + Windows 7 = Freeze@ So after installing Windows 7 64bit Build 700, I downloaded the beta drivers and installed them.
    I went into the Audio/Sound options and selected the proper drivers to use for audio.
    The first time I did this, I had no issues, for about a week, then my PC would begin to freeze randomly. No blue screen, just a freeze. Everytime I rebooted the PC, it would get to the login screen, and freeze just as it loaded, or after i entered my login info.
    /reformated.
    Did it again, had the same issues, but instead of reformatting, so i started using safe mode which worked, and
    I started removing all my drivers I had installed, once I got to the audio driver, everything worked correctly. So i disabled the card and removed the drivers and i'm now using my onboard sound (which is fine) but that's not the point.
    I tried searching , but wasn't able to find anything similar. I realized new drivers have been released, but I don't know if i want to risk all the freezing.
    Do you know if this is something that was addressed?

    #Did this happen right after you install the sound card new or did this happen out of the blue?
    Sorry I don't have any further suggestion at this point, you might want to contact Customer Support to see how they can help you further.

  • Fan speed increases and windows 7 freeze on my Satellite A200

    I am using Toshiba Satellite A200-24A (PSAE3E) from 3 years now. It came pre-installed with Vista. Last year i switched to Winows 7 Ultimate. Everything was fine.
    4 months ago, i switched to Windows 7 Enterprise N. Hated to see no Windows Media Player in it. Now the problem is, during online video streaming (not always the case), my fan speed inceases, so do its sound, and my hard drive gets real busy. 10 seconds later, my window is freezed. Actually, its not responding due to excessive hard drive usage.
    I read many articles over the internet, lots of toshiba users are facing the same problem when using Windows 7. But, i couldn't find any solution to it.
    This problem started 3 months ago, then for sometimes, it stopped itself. now, it started again 3 weeks ago. If anyone can help me regarding this issue, i will me more than grateful.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 Enterprise N. Service Pace 1
    1.73 Dual core
    Ram 3GB
    Hard Disk partitions 75 GB + 75 GB

    I presume CPU usage goes to 100% and result is freezing. Can you identify background process that can be responsible for this?
    > I read many articles over the internet, lots of toshiba users are facing the same problem when using Windows 7. But, i couldn't find any solution to it.
    Your opinion is too general. Lot of Toshiba users have a lot of different problems with Windows7. My notebook was also delivered with Vista and since one year I use Win7 32bit and everything works perfectly.
    > This problem started 3 months ago...
    This make the whole situation more complicated. What have you done 3 months ago? Have you changed some settings, installed some additional software that can be responsible for this?
    Unfortunately it is not easy to help in this situation.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
    This works great! I was just about to give up when I found your post 2 days ago. I have searched and searched for it again to say how much I appreciate your information.

  • Hp dv7-6b20ep windows 7 freezes

     HP Pavilion dv7-6b20ep Entertainment Notebook PC windows 7 freezes
    i did the memory test that passed
    disk test passed
    run in test failed
    the windows 7 freezes sometimes

      Hi thanks for your response..  Yes I have done that.. I even bought back up disk from HP and just got them yesterday. I tried them without any success. I have went into the Bios and changed the order, that didn't help. When this first happened, I placed the back up disk in, turned the computer on and it did begin to load, but then it stopped. Now it won't even do that. The hard drive was replaced because the old one crashed. I have tried just about every thing I can think of. I can turn on my computer and it will allow me to use most of my programs. But I can't get on the web and I can't even reformat my hard drive or I would try that.

  • MOVED: Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

  • Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2

    Hi
    I cannot install my Audigy 2 soundcard with Windows 7.
    It is a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on a new HDD. However, after installation and driver file updates after I reboot, Windows 7 just freezes.
    ?I have tried different drivers but the same problem arises. I have tried to load? SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 as well as SBAX_PCDRVBETA2 US_2_8_00, along with the automatic updates Windows 7. Any help to rectify this situation would be?greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks?

    Re: Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2?
    Thanks for your response Freddie. I just do not know how people can expect companies to keep upgrading and writing software for hardware that is YEARS old. Years old.......People (not you) clamor for Windows 7 drivers for devices made for XP, and my god, that operating system came out a long long time ago. Moving on is not just an alternati've, it is a necessity. I would never be using a Gravis sound card from 995 7 or 8 (which sounded really good back then) on Windows 7 and be frustrated as to why Gravis does not have a full suite of Windows 7 drivers. It would be nice, but it is not feasible or reasonable to expect. Creative would literally spend all of their profits writing drivers and applications for stuff that is no longer sold or worth supporting. Microsoft has even changed the sound model of Windows from scratch which means drivers have to be rewritten from the ground up, not just "slightly modified".
    I bought an HP scanner for Windows 98. Great scanner. Loved it. Windows Millenium came out, and that scanner never never worked. Not their fault really, the box it came in said, "Made for Windows 98, 98SE" not "just might be compatible for Windows ME, and whatever else Microsoft may invent."? Well what happened? HP wrote drivers and applications for that scanner for Windows ME and 2000, and that disc cost me $40........Seriously? Yes. Did I buy it? Yes.... I am astonished they are writing drivers for the Audigy's now. But I do hope you find a Windows 7 sound card, and if so, I am curious if you like it. I use my X-Fi Titanium for ) games and 2) movies. and 3) music. It works well, but I had to research which boards it works with.
    Currently Asus is quite the competitor these days, and I see they have Windows 7 drivers out. A few months ago, those drivers wreaked havoc and a lot of people's systems.
