3dmark Freezes During Load


Ok, i know i have seen fixes before about this, could someone please please give me a hand, i just got my new laptop (asus f7 1. 8ghz x2, 2gigs ram, 2400pro) and for *** and giggles i wanted to run 3dmark to see how it does, it installed fine everything went great but when i attempt to load the game it just loads and loads and never moves on. I had this problem on my desktop once, and i was in need of a re-image so i did that and all is fine, but i dont want to have to go through that for this computer.

Screen Freezes When Load Browser Page With Flash Movie

When i load a browser page that has flash movie, or if i load up guild wars, then the computer will completely lockup, the screen freezes, mouse/keyboard dont work, hard drive light is one solid color, and it remains like that forever, until i turn it off and back on. The weird thing is when i hit the reset button it actually wont make the screen freeze go away i hear/see the cd drives doing the power reset, but the frozen image still remains on the screen!

But when i power off and power on, it boots up again. Sometimes it will freeze again right away, other times it will happen after say 10+ hours of use. Anyone know what could be causing this? Mem test reported 0 errors. Prime95 wasnt crashing either. I'm thinking maybe its the video card?

Computer Freezes On Boot - Long Time To Load Windows

I was having issues with a game of mine hard locking my pc. The only way to get out of it was to hold down the power button and force the pc to power down, then boot back up. Trying to trouble shoot the game, this happened several times. Then, it started freezing on the memory test. It's not really freezing, though - if i leave it sit for a very long time ( 5 to ten minutes ), it will eventually boot into windows. Any ideas?

Pc Not Load Anything After Login To Xp

Recently my sisters dell desktop had a ton of problems. It got to the point where it wouldn't even load anything after you tried to login to xp. One of her husbands friends said that he had a copy of all of her pictures from the last time he fixed their computer, so i went ahead and reformatted since i saw no other option. Well, that was two weeks ago. Now my sister finds out that her friend was wrong, he doesn't have the pictures. She lost a ton of family pictures for the past 6 years. She lost all of her pictures from during her pregnancy and even sonogram pictures from the past year. She was so upset, she was crying. And she's really mad at the guy for not looking well enough in the first place to see if he really did have the pictures or not before it was too late. Is there still a way i could try to recover some files from her computer? I think there's a program that you can put on a bootable flash drive that may help? I'm not sure. I understand it's very hard to recover data, especially after being reformatted, and that the best thing would be to send it to a company who would try to get the data off (and charge what. $1000? None of us can afford that). But i want to at least try for her.

Program Load Times

Here's my problem. On most computers, ms office applications such as word or excel load within 15 seconds. Maximum. Usually under about 7 seconds. On my pc, usually (even with no other desktop programs running) most office probgrams will take at least 25 seconds to load. At least, as i said. Then photoshop cs2 comes along - it takes in excess of five minutes to open it, depending on how much other stuff i have open. This is a huge pain. I have a 40gb hard drive which holds windows and all of my programs, leaving about 15gb free, and a 60gb secondary harddrive containing about 45-50gb of documents/music/movies. What i need to know is exactly which component(s) need replacing to fix this problem. I was looking at a new motherboard with a pentium 4 3. 2 ghz, but i'd need a case with that (dell cases will not accept new motherboards) bringing the total cost to about $4-500. I can't afford that right now. So what do you think might offer at least a temporary solution? Any advice would be much appreciated, and if further details are needed feel free to ask.

My keboard, and everything locks up. I end up pressing the reset button my computer so i can get back to whatever i was doing. I have found this happening whenever i try to load half-life 2. I never had a problem before so im not sure what could be causing this. My specs are in my signature. And nothing has been overclocked.

Unable To Load Windows, Partial New Install

During bootup, case lights come on, including blue cathodes, fans, etc, i get no beep codes, the screen initially flashes the indentity of the vid card installed, then goes to intell splash page, then to the unable to load windows screen with many options such as boot in normal mode, safe mode, etc.computer specifications:

Mobo - intel 865perl (new)
Cpu - intel p4 2. 4c boxed (new)
Memory- corsair 3200 ddr 1024mb twinx dual channel (new) (1 stick each installed in channel a raid 0, channel b raid 0). Video - gainward geforce fx5600 128mb ddr, ultra 760 tv/dvi. (New). Hard drive - wd 40gb
Power supply - icute 430watt (new). Only things on mobo right now are cpu, mem, video card. Board has current bios (verified on intel site). In bios, verified cpu, memory, etc. I've had problems with "no signal" on other builds, but those were memory problems. The twin corsair sticks are installed properly, 1 in channel a raid0 and the other in channel b raid0. The bios recognizes them (1024mb) as well. Any ideas on why i can't get the os to load?

Slot Load Optical Drive Behavior

I just picked up a slot loading dvd/rw drive and had a couple questions for anyone with experience with pc-based slot loading drives. I feel that mine (pioneer dvr-ts08) may not be behaving properly. First, how much noise are they supposed to make when inserting or ejecting discs? This thing makes three loud clicks every time i put a disc in or eject it. From looking through the bottom of the drive, it appears that the drive is attempting to grab onto the disc multiple times and always gets it on the third attempt. Second, to what extent should it pull the disc into the drive itself? I have to push the disc 2/3 in before the drive even attempts to pull the disc in to it and even then it just spins. I have to help the drive pull the disc in far enough where i can no longer touch it. It ejects the disc far enough where only 1/3 of it is still inside. Is the first behavior normal but the second not? That's my thoughts on the drive's behavior.

Failed To Load Detection Driver - Error

I would load windows vista and get a bsod with the failure registering in an atixxx.dll . I figured it was a driver error so i tried reinstalling my drivers. I did a driver sweep and started up the install.exe. Halfway through, the install would either crash my entire system or i would get a "failed to load detection driver" error. Very frustrating. Last night, i reinstalled vista. Drastic, i know. I installed all of the updates. I then tried to reinstall the ccc package. Same error! I looked online for some fixes. This one:

http://www.Driverheaven.net/driverheaven-tools-discussion/174912-failed-load-detection-driver-installation-error.html

Seemed promising but didn't work for me. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas? I might end up selling my 4870 and buying a nvidia product just to avoid this issue.

Laptop Won't Load Windows Xp

Yesterday i dropped my laptop (ah!) On a hardwood floor. I have a toshiba satellite m100/m105. As soon as it dropped the screen went black and basically the power to it went out. This worried me, but then i just pressed the power button on the computer and it restarted and seemed to work fine! Until i restarted my computer again today because the internet was locked up. Anyway, so i restarted and a black screen came up that said windows was unable to load correctly and to run windows as normal, run in safe mode, run how it was run last time it run correctly, etc. And i chose each of these options at least once and each time it brought me back to the same black screen. I'm not sure if it is a software or hardware issue or if it even has anything to do with me dropping my laptop yesterday. Does any one know what i should do? Should i check to see if it's hardware related before i run a system repair? Should i bring it in to a professional and have them look to see if it's a hardware problem or is there a way i could check for "lose connections"?

Computer Is Shutting Off During The Windows Load Screen

So i ended up upgrading to an amd x2 6000 and getting an hd4850 as well. Windows 7 was also installed by a friend on my computer. However, my computer is shutting off during the windows load screen at the same time, like right after the windows colors icon forms together and glows or whatever. I have an antec 650w truepower power supply that is maybe 3 years old at the most. Also, i have been monitoring the watts and they are all stable and all less than . 20 different than the norm or whatever each thing is supposed to be.could the ram i bought be bad and is shutting down the computer? Temperatures are all fine as well. I just find it weird that it turns off during the exact same time but will sometimes randomly let me get to windows if i keep trying. A fast response would be appreciated, especially if it is possibly bad ram since i think the last day to exchange it at frys is today for me.

Connected To Router, But Internet Wont Load

I am connected to my router, but the internet wont load. Answer:- turn the router and modem off for a minute, restart the router and modem, restart your computer. This should work. If not, make sure that your wi-fi wasn't accidentally turned off. To turn wi-fi on/off, push "fn" and the wi-fi button(f11 depending on your computer)

Bios Wont Load On Asus G73jh

I have an asus g73jh notebook, all hardware is stock. A few days ago i was going to try out ubuntu on my computer, so i downloaded the installation/ linux disk boot, it wouldn't load so i clicked the option of letting it configure my bios with a new setting, it worked fine, so i decided to install it as my os. I turn my computer off and back on, and nothing boots, i still get my bios administrator password screen, i enter my password, but beyond that it is blank. The infamous black-screen with my friend the blinking centimeter line. When i try to load the bios menu it prompts me to enter my password, then gives a little blue and gray glitch then goes back to said black-screen.

Why Wont Computer Load Wireless Networks?

Okay, i have a dell inspiron 910 mini. My computer was working just great when i had internet in the beginning of 2010. I had comcast for awhile, then i didnt have any internet because i stopped using their services. So no internet for months. Now i just got fios and ever since i was done with comcast none of my wireless networks loaded. Everytime i clicked on 'view available wireless networks' a message comes up that says, "windows cannot configure the wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection use that software. " And then it goes on about wireless zero configuration. I tryed turning on the wireless zero configuration, it didnt work. I then added my ssid and password. Then i finally had internet. Until i shut the computer down. Now when i load it up and try to enter my ssid it wont load the page that allows me to do so. I just dont know what to do now.

Hardware Conflict, Computer Load Up Time Seems Longer Than It Should Be

I have the latest bios, drivers for everything (nvidia drivers for mobo, graphics card, monitor, sound blaster, etc) and updates for windows. I'm not trying to toot my horn here (well, maybe just a little hehe) but as far as i can tell, with these specs the system should be giving a fairly good performance. However, i have found that for one, the load up time seems a little longer than it should be. Secondly, game graphics have gotten choppy in some sections of far cry, and the fps in cs:source drops from around 90 to 10 when blinded by a flashbang. Up until a month ago i was using a xfx 6600gt and i wasn't getting this fps drop at all when flashed. I tried a test using 3dmark05 and ended up with a score of around 7, 500, which i gather is the average for a 7800gt?

Basically, as this is my first build, i am asking for any advice anyone might have as i feel i have missed something. Perhaps a hardware conflict or even just how the drivers have been installed?

Computer specifications:

Athlon 64 3500+
Msi k8n neo4 platinum mobo
2 gb corsair 3200c2pt ram
Xfx geforce 7800gt
Live 24! Sound blaster
550 watt psu
Windows xp home

Cant Load Sound Driver From Asus Striker Extreme

I have an asus striker extreme mobo, c2d 2. 13ghz, bfg 8800gts, 2megs of corsair ddr800, seagate barricuda 320 gig at 7200. I installed all on a new case and everything runs perfect except the sound. The soundmax adi1988 card that comes with the mobo does not load. The driver install says i need an hd audio bus driver and that it is not found. What is this particular driver and will this prevent me from installing a different card in the future. Can i get one? I tried changing things in the bios and running the driver from the asus website but to no avail.

Load Needed Dlls For Hal - Ntldr Is Missing

I just installed another 160gb hard drive (6/7/05), had windows running that night, and the next day, booted up my computer on 6/9/05 and it started to boot normally, but when it got past the bios and controller card bios (promise ultra 100tx2), the pc speaker beeped, which is unusual. I think the first time, it tried to load windows, but then restarted. The next time, it went through the same routine, except it gave me the option to boot in safe mode, normal mode, etc. I tried all the options with no luck. I kept getting that screen, but then i started getting "load needed dlls for hal" eventually i got an error that said "ntldr is missing" this means windows is corrupt, right? I didn't want to reinstall windows and/or format the drive, so i tried using an old blank drive and wanted to install windows on that so i could back up data on the first drive. The first couple times i tried installing windows, it didn't even get to the installation, it was just hanging on the same screen for longer than usual. I tried restarting, but now i get a bsod that says my motherboard is not acpi compliant and suggested a few things, which i tried, but didn't work. One being flashing the bios. I flashed the bios close to a year ago to the most recent final version, but there is a beta, which i tried. The flash utility copied the bios off the disk, but when it tried to start erasing the bios chip, it didn't look like it made any progress, for at least 15-20 minutes. I reluctantly restarted my computer, but it still does the same thing, i tried flashing it one more time, but nothing.

Error - Could Not Load File Or Assembly Cli Implementation

I keep getting an error:

"Could not load file or assembly 'cli. Implementation, version=2. 0. 2720. 25027, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=90ba9c70f846762e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. "

I have already searched this website for the fix to this

Before you ask, i have installed .net 2. 0, 3. 0 and even 2. 0. 50727, i have also downloaded and installed drivers:

7-6_xp_dd_48640.exe
7-6_xp_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_48640.exe

Am i missing something? This *** me off because dell didnt send us any instructions or even the box the card was supposed to come with.

Adsl Router - Dual Wan Load Balancing

My present set-up is this, i have an adsl router connected to my 24-port switch hub which is then connected to the 20 pc's. The full rate adsl router is the one provided by our isp(lets call this isp-1). However, they are giving us a very low bandwidth of 384kbps and it disconnects very often. So we looked for another isp (lets call it isp-2), sadly it disconnects as much as isp-1. So we thought of using both isp and buy a load balancing router to be able to make use of the benefit of the fail-over set up. I now have a d-link di lb604 load balancing router. My problem now is this, i cant use isp-1 without plugging it to their provided router. Can i connect this router to my new load balancing router. I am afraid to connect the two coz i thought i might damage the new load balancing router. It costs too much and i have to be extra careful. What do you guys think?

If the two routers can be connected, is there any configuration needed?

Youtube Videos Load Fast And Sometimes Times Slow

Sometimes youtube vids load fast and other times real slow? Is it my internet connection? I noticed that when i watch youtube, sometimes the video loads really fast, as in maybe 20x the speed it plays and other times it loads like 0. 2x the speed it plays. I tried this with 1 video. Every time the same video and sometimes it would load really fast and other times really slow. Is this my internet connection or computer? Or is it youtube itself? When i do a speedtest its still as high as it should be.

Windows Randomly Lock Up, Act As If Cpu Is Under 100% Load

I'll spare you the details, but my machine has become unstable recently. I was overclocking recently but one of these issues persisted before the oc. Since it's got weird my pc has gone back to stock settings which haven't fixed anything. Windows will randomly lock up, and act as if the cpu is under 100% load. It isn't. The pc will now poweroff after shutdown. The monitor switches off but the power/fan run to the cpu. When trying to image my c: drive to a backup it will always fail. I got a bsod last night trying this. I've ran chkdsk a few times and everytime it has found and "repaired" bad sectors. I booted into ms memory ram checker, no errors, the comp can still play games fine when i first boot up, it's afterwards thing get flaky, my os hard drive is pretty old, which is why i targeted that first. I've seen some abnormal temps coming from there in the past. How do i test psu to elimate that from the equation?

Linux Load Command Line Grub Boot Loader But Go No Further

I think my hard drive is fried. The 40gb cheapo maxtor hard drive for my linux machine refused to boot. It would load the command line grub boot loader but go no further. Usually it does the graphical version of grub. I used the maxblast cd to check it and it keeps saying that it cant read it, but it will display the information about it(size etc. ) The fact that it loads any of grub shows that it isn't totally gone, but i can't seem to get anything else from it. Any suggestions? Or should i start shopping?

Video Card Beep Error - Windows Fails To Load

Last night my comp was making a loud beeping noise and it turned out to be my video card. So i boot it up, get all the screens and it eventually hits the windows screen with the options of safe mode, last known configuration that worked, and run windows normally. The problem is no matter which one i pick (done them all several times) it always does the same thing. The window logo screen loads where the little blue bar travels across below the logo usually meaning windows is starting up, but everytime it has that screen for about 15 seconds then a quick flash of the blue screen of death and my computer resets and does the whole process again?

Dropped Laptop, Will Turn On But Won't Load Desktop

I recently dropped my laptop when it was on and it landed face down. I turned it off and back on and it turns on fine, but it wont load my desktop. My background will load and the curser, but it wont load my icons or start menu. I try going into task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) but that wont work either. If it sits for a couple minutes my screensaver works too. Is my hard drive broken, or the motherboard? Or is there something i can do? The laptop is a toshiba portege m100.
