Computer Freezes On Boot Up At Asus Splash Screen
Replies: 4 | Post Date: May 28th 2005 | User: Validus | Forums: devhardware.comMy computer freezes sometimes on boot up (this happens very rarely, but is annoying when it does). When i turn it on, i see my initial asus splash screen and it just stays on this until i reset or reboot. It then boots up fine. Other than this, my computer runs flawlessly, it has never seriously crashed or frozen up when it's running. I noticed also some time after i bought/built the computer, the initial "beep" when the computer boots up disappeared. I don't know if this is related. Has anyone come across something like this? I'm thinking of actually selling off this computer as i am going to need a laptop, so i'd like to get this resolved.

Xp On Boot Up Goes To Post Screen And Then Freezes
Xp home will now not boot up. The first problem i noticed was a pop up that warned me that my hard drive was nearly full depite having 8gb free. I then got the message again the next day. I did a virus scan, restore, scandisk etc, all the usual things. It now wont boot beyond the post screen and just freezes. I tried another psu, changed the motherboard, checked the ram all to no avail. I tried the hd in another computer and it worked after several boots. I did a xp repair, and it worked on the other pc. When i put it back in mine it crashed again at the same point!

Computer Boot Up Problem, After Power On It Stays 5 Seconds Then Freezes
Dell dimension 1100. O. S. Windows xp home edition. Problem:
When i power on the computer it stays for about 5 seconds, then there is a click and it freezes. Nothing shows on the screen – no logo etc.completely dead the green light on front of computer tower remains fixed on. I have tried following:
Disconnected memory card and reseated it, disconnected sound card and reseated (no more cards). Disconnected all cables to motherboard and devices and reseated them. Disconnect mouse, keyboard, monitor. But it never gets beyond the first five seconds of booting up. A few days before the problem came i saw the following warning message:
"Power surge on hub port. A usb device has exceeded power limits of its hub port". I have pursued this and downloaded a patch from dell to remedy this problem: but i cannot install the patch as i cannot get my computer going. Any ideas on how to solve this? Second could the problem be related to this ‘power surge on hub port’.

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?

Computer Freezes On The Windows Loading Screen
I went to use my computer today and noticed that there was no sound. I checked all of the physical connections which seem fine and then rebooted. After rebooting the sound came back for a while but then gradually increased in static before failing again completely. I reinstalled the ac 97 drivers (it's an onboard soundcard for the asus a8n-sli mobo) to no avail. I also had the entire computer lock up twice and reboot itself while trying to fix the sound. A few reboots later the operating system would run normally for about 2 seconds before completely locking for 2 and repeating this pattern. Task manager showed me that the cpu was alternating between ~ 5% usage to 100% when it would lock and back and forth in the 2 second pattern. I completely shut down the computer and when i attempted to boot back into windows, my computer now freezes on the windows loading screen. The bar will move across roughly 10 or so times before freezing completely! If i try a reset, it will not even detect the drive that windows is installed on! It will only reappear if i power the machine off and back on again!
I am able to boot into windows in safe mode, and i tried using system restore and msconfig to turn off all of the startup services and programs but i am still unable to do a normal boot into windows. I also tried doing a repair install of xp and the repair installation will get to the installing drivers step of the installation before abrubtly rebooting and attempting to continue the setup in an endless loop. I am currently running chkdsk /r in the windows recovery console but i'm somewhat doubting this will fix the problem.

Computer Boot Issue - Black Screen
Received a machine from a friend, saying the computer would not boot. Took it home, powered it up. Bios loads, computer posts, but the "windows xp" load screen never shows, just a black screen that never goes away. Thinking it was a hard drive problem, i checked the bios, and the drive showed up. I disconnected it from that machine, and placed it in my test box, set it as master, and booted. It loaded into windows without a problem. So, i connected an older hard drive with an xp installation on it into the problem machine, and the same problem happened. Thinking that the drive is fine, i decide to test the dvd-rom. I place a copy of windows xp into the machine and boot off it. The blue screen and loading windows screens show up, but they are all messed up. Text all over the place, and the recovery console will not load. At this point i'm considering it to be an ide controller problem on the motherboard, but i'm open to other suggestions. I have not tried a cmos reset, but will when i return home. So am i looking at a friend mobo, or is there another fix i haven't thought of yet?

Blue Screen - Computer Boot Problems
This morning i turned on one of my computers and after a couple minutes i was hit with the blue screen of death. This was the first time this computer gave me back a blue screen. So i restarted the computer and it turns on and everything but nothing is being sent to my monitor, my monitor just stays in stand-by mode. Now i know the problem isn't my monitor as i just switch source to my other computer and it works, so i'm just wondering where the problem could be? I have a feeling it’s the videocard, but if it was then why would it even display the blue screen? Wouldn’t the monitor of just gone blank? I don't want to go out and purchase a new videocard if that isn't the problem.

Boots And Freezes Or Does Not Boot At All
Even after reformatting, i occasionaly get blue screens regarding the cache when playing dvd's. Right now, the following is happening upon booting the system:
1) boots and runs
Or
2) boots and freezes @ the desktop
Or
3) checks cd rom, dvdrom, floppy and does not boot w/out any beeps. Or
4) 4 bios beeps while checking the cd rom, dvd rom, floppy drive. If it gets down to #3 or #4 it's pretty much stuck there for the next few hours (upon trying to reboot). But if i leave the sys alone and try to boot in a few hours, it is able to do #1 or #2. I'm thinking it's one or more of the following:
- Ram
- Motherboard
- Powersupply
- Cd or dvd drive ( which i doubt but egh )

Pc Starts To Boot And Freezes Before Windows
I turned on the pc and the "intel desktop boards" screen appears. And that is it! Usually that would flash and the next screen would be detecting my ide card and recognizing the hard drives but it doesnt even get there. The screen that it is stuck on shows the processor speed, how much ram, and that the keyboard, mouse, and the usb legacy is enabled. The bottom says hit f2 to run set up and f12 if you want to boot from network. I can not get into the bios. The most i made it do was get it to say "entering setup" by hitting f2 as soon as the page came up. But it never goes anywhere after that. Frozen! Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I am not a computer wiz, just a long time tinkerer. I have built 2 or 3 in my lifetime and have just basic knowledge.

Pc Freezes Or Won't Boot
Well i've been on my laptop for about a month now because my pc won't work. I decided that since i have some free time finally, now is the time to troubleshoot and hopefully fix!
90% of the time it will boot into windows (xp pro) no problem. After about 30 seconds to a minute (it varies), it just completely freezes up. The computer stays on, but the screen just freezes. I've tried uninstalling the video card drivers and reinstalling some older whql ones. I've tried taking out 1 stick of ram at a time to see if it has something to do with the ram. Even booting into safe mode yields the same freezes. Sometimes, it won't boot at all. It just gives me one long beep, followed by 3 smaller ones. Any ideas?

Asus P5k-e Hangs / Freezes
I've recently set up my comp to run on two wd green 1. 5tb running as mirrored array. (In the past, i was on 2 500gb seagates running in the same config). Machine's running 6600 proc, and 2gb of ram. Well, i'm getting system freezes/hangs, task manager sees nothing, but the machine sporadically becomes unresponsive for seconds to minutes at a time. Haven't found a common culprit when this happens, so i can't trigger it on command. I'm currently firing prime95 on the machine just to see if there isn't a weird cpu/memory glitch. I plan to shut the machine down, pull one drive offline, and reset things so it's running as a plain sata drive, not raid. Hopefully this would show me if the raid's the issue, or not. Other ideas?

Bsod At Windows Splash
I recently set up a rig, but every time i run my computer in normal mode, it bsod and restarts. However, i can run it in safe mode. Can you guys help me check for compatibility issues or if there is a problem with the ahrdware. At first i thought ram was an issu. But it seems that 4gb is read in the bios and 3. 50gb is read on system specs in safe mode.

Pc Freezes After The Windows Loading Screen
I put all the hardware together and installed windows vista into it. The computer boots to cd fine and it is able to install windows into the computer. The computer goes through the initial installation, restarts once to finish installing, restarts again to load windows and do the final steps of the installation, but it freezes after the windows loading screen (the black screen with a small bar showing progress on the bottom) after about 10 seconds of loading, the screen turns black. An artifacted white line appears at the top for 1 second, then turns black again. The computer freezes as this point as ctrl+alt+delete does nothing and pressing numlock/caps does not turn the lights on/off on the keyboard. This is what i have tried before running out of ideas:
-Tested the video card on a separate computer and it worked fine
-Removed the ram and attempted to boot the computer 1 stick at a time. It still frooze on the same screen. -Re-installed windows twice, the second time i re-installed i used a different version of the install (without sp1). Every time i re-installed, it failed at the same spot. So what else could i do? If my test were accurate, then this should point towards the motherboard/processor. I have no idea how to check if these are working correctly. I don't have another computer that fits the same cpu, or enough parts or an extra processor to fit on the computer.

System Freezes And The Screen Goes Blurry
I just had it fixed and the same problem still occurs! The guy who repaired it said that it is not a problem in my computer but in the software. I tried to re-install xp, tried different drivers for the graphics card etc but nothing seems to help. And this is the problem: couple times a day my system freezes and the screen goes blurry. I hear one "beep" and the whole computer is stuck. Sometimes when i wait, the screen flashes and everything is okay again, but usually only rebooting helps.

Battlefield 2 Game Stops And Screen Freezes
This only started yesterday but my battlefield 2 game litterly "stops" while playing while everything else keeps going. Like my screen freezes but when i'm frozen i can be killed or i crash while flying/driving. Now i've repatched the game but i'm might reinstall it if it persists. Possible causes:
- A widescreen patch i tried out (made no difference so i uninstalled it)
- Ram, i recently put in an extra 2gb's of kingston ddr2 667 ram (i now have 4gb's of ram)

Random Freezes - Blue Screen And Restart
I have been experiencing some problems since i changed my thermal paste. When i boot up, windows starts loading as usual although it takes a little while. Then it freezes, blue screen and restart. Then it boots ok. But sometimes it boot ok but freezes randomly for. 30sec every minute or 2 like it is doing now. So far i checked cables and that there is not too much paste. Removed a ram chip from the pc too.

Then i turn it off, back on again and i get the message "warning overclocking failed. "
Which is strange as i haven't tried o/c it yet, then i reboot *again* and it loads ok, any ideas?

Hardlocks, Screen Freezes, Sound System Makes Noises
When playing games such as cc: generals and planetside, the system will randomly hardlock (screen freezes, sound system makes a horrible screeching noise and then loops the most recent audio about 2 seconds back, or sometimes no audio at all) and the only way to get out of it is to hit the reset button on the case. I have never had a crash when doing normal operations such as web browsing or word processing or playing mp3's. Now, originally i though it was an overheating issue, so i picked up the thermaltake cpu cooler, and the case now has two 120mm fans (one suck, one blow) and a pci slot fan next to the ati card. At idle, my cpu and mobo are at about 75 degrees, under load, they never exceed 105 degrees. I also thought it may have been the audio subsystem on the mobo causing it, so i installed the audigy 2. I assume it must be a memory issue. My friend built a system that had an asus mobo that used rambus memory, and he found that it was extremely picky about what brand of memory it used. I have tried running memtest86 and the program has never completed all the tests. It always crashes, but always at different spots of different tests. I thought i saw a post on here a while ago that said kingston hyperx memory worked well on asus boards. I wanted to check with you guys, to see if there is anything else i overlooked before i went and bought a gig of memory (i might as well upgrade right? Any other causes for the hardlocks? Any known compatibility problems with asus/corsair or asus/kingston.

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?

Asus K8v X Se Boot Problem
I have just got this motherboard + cpu secondhand and are trying to get it working. My problem is that while trying to start windows xp the system crashes and not even ctrl+alt+del works. Toggling the power does not always bring me back on track, resetting the rtc (jumper) is the only way to get back into the system. I do manage to enter bios without problems (after resetting rtc), and i do manage to start ms6. 22
From floppy disk. I have tried to start up system without hd and cd-rom no change. What is the next step for me in troubleshooting?

Asus A8n-e Boot Problem (beep Error Code)
I've been running xp on a asus a8n-e motherboard for a good while without any problems. The other day i replaced my hiper type r 580w psu with a corsair hx 520w, and now the pc won't boot and beeps 1 long followed by 3 short. I've stripped it down to bare essentials (motherboard, vc, memory and cpu) but i get the same problem. The problem also persist when i reconnect the hiper psu. 1. Reseating everything. 2. Using any possible combination of memory stick(s) and slots. 3. Resetting the cmos. The rest of the pc is as per sig, with the exception for vista which will be installed when (if!?) I can sort this.

Change Bios Boot Order On Asus M2n Motherboard
How to change bios boot order on asus m2n motherboard? I want to replace xp with 7 on my mom's computer, thing is f8, f12, tab, and del don't do anything on start up. How the *** am i supposed to boot a disk if i can't even access anything in the bios? Did the local computer store screw with my mom's computer? Because she always takes it to these local guys that know nothing more than me, and all of a sudden i can't configure anything in the bios.

Computer Sometimes Freezes
I have run all sorts of health tests on the hard drive, and it passed all with flying colors. My old raptor x did not do this. Basically, sometimes the screen will freeze. I can move the mouse for a bit, but that will freeze as well, which requires me to force a reboot. This freeze is not consistent, as i can have the pc on for hours without encountering this. What do you guys think it is? I am using windows 7, so could it just be that, since it's a beta?

Computer Freezes
Yesterday, i was half way through burning an iso file to disc using [program name deleted my mod. ] (Have used this many times previously without a problem), when the computer froze. Nothing worked (mouse, keyboard) and the only thing i could do was turn it off at the power button. I left it for 10 minutes, started the computer up again and the (black) screen came up giving 'you need to reboot' and 'insert a bootable disc' messages. I inserted my windows xp disc as it's the only one i have and don't have a bootable disc, and after while i was given 3 options - one was to repair, one was to escape and i can't remember what the 3rd one was. Anyway i pressed repair and after a minute or two it said it couldn't find the hard drive (or disc) so it was unable to repair and the only thing i could do was quit. After leaving the computer off for a period of time, i switched it back on and it came up with the disc scan screen details and went through the process quickly and it said one of the sectors had been repaired and it was 'back to normal' after that. The computer is 4 years old (intel pentium 4/3. 2ghz/1gb ram/hard drive 149gb) and i've had intermittent problems with the cpu overheating due to dust etc which i've cleaned out from time to time (as you do) and all has been well. So, in total this has happened 3 times in 24 hours but on the other two occasions when it froze, after turning it off and leaving it for a couple of minutes, it came back again as normal. The computer seems ok when it's not under load (using the internet/emails/typing documents/photo editing) but the first time you ask it a big question (e.g.copy or convert a disc) it will freeze. Is this a cpu, hard drive or motherboard problem or any other ideas please.

Black Screen On Boot
I'm having problems with sil's computer. 600mhz celeron. About 6 years old i guess. Think it's a bad motherboard but would like some input. She was having many many problems, not booting into windows. She just had the power supply replaced. Recently it would freeze on boot, after many tries would work. But then it stopped altogether while i was visiting, freezing on beginning bios screen. I took it apart. Removed everything, hd's all pci cards, cd's etc. Then i cleared the cmos. After i did that i couldn't even get it to boot into the bios. Simply a black screen. No beeps, nothing from motherboard. I even removed the memory to see if i'd get any warning beeps, award bios. Nothing! Did i do something wrong when clearing cmos? I had the mb manual right there. I happened to have purchased for my son a very similar computer that weekend for $35, which works great. Tried using that cpu, same kind, nothing. Used the $35 memory, nothing. Sil lives 800 miles away, so i took it home with me. Since i've tried different jumper settings clock, ratio. Nothing. Replaced cmos battery. Still nothing, no beeps, no bios. Cpu is seated properly, heat sink too. Motherboard looks fine on inspection, no blown capacitors, but i guess it's fried? Anything i might have missed before trashing it?

Computer Freezes At Post
My pc gets to the p5w dh deluxe screen, but i can't press del to enter setup or tab to display bios post message and it won't do anything, it just stays on the p5w dh deluxe screen. It was fine when i turned it off earlier and went out, so why has it decided to go on the fritz? I'm on a different pc at the moment.
