Desktop PC Freezes 2-5 Minutes When Using Blu-ray Writer
Dec 27, 2015
The title sums it up but here are the notes i already made and things i have tried so far:
Freezing issue :
I boot up ssd system drive with blank cd in drive. Log in windows shows but the sound chime is repeating rapidly constantly and the system has frozen.
Tried the same in safe mode and it doesn't do this!
I boot into Windows and after 2-5 minutes i can guarantee it freezes up completely including the mouse and keyboard. There is no log left behind because the system locks up and doesn't allow any information to be saved!
This also occurs in safe mode with networking enabled!
This also occurs when i boot windows with diagnostic mode chosen via msconfig
If i boot into Windows and try to burn a disc the hard drive has a lot of activity and the burning never actually commences. After a few minutes of waiting around the system freezes up!
In diagnostic mode chosen via msconfig, the burning app (basic windows "burn to disc" connect menu option) days checking disc when i insert black disc but then no hard drive activity occurs and nothing else happens in terms of the burning process actually taking place.
System mechanic told me the smbus driver needed updating. It seems i started getting the freezing issue after updating this driver but it may be coincidental and actually may be a Windows update that occurred at the same time (i think i recall things "getting configured" around the same time too).
When i look at the smbus driver (it is the amd smbus controller driver) it troopers that there isn't actually a driver installed at all!?
I have a Dell 8100 XPS and when the hard drive went, I restored from an August backup (using Microsoft's Windows 10 backup) afetr replacing the drive. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the Ethernet adapter so eventually, I reinstalled Windows 10 fresh. The only major problem is that the machine recognizes the drive ( Liteon iHOS104) as a reader.
This is possibly because the 8100 does not officially support Windows 10 (according to Dell).
Is there any way to get it recognized as a writer?
Friend of mine bought a new computer for his son and i built it together. The specs are as follows:
HDD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB PSU + Case : Cooler Master Elite 310 Silver / Black - EVGA 500W White GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX970 G1 Gaming 4GB Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B150M-DS3H DDR3 Memory: Crucial BallistixSport 2x4GB 1600MHz HDD2: Seagate Desktop HDD 2TB 7200RPM CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 2.70GHz Fresh install of windows 10.
Everything boots up fine, i get into windows and drivers etc gets installed, then suddenly everything freezes completely, no bluescreen, no event viewer errors, just basically "stop" and nothing works.
I tested this so far:
Disabled all onboard stuff in bios, tested to reinstall the windows about 10 times, tested 1 piece of ram, 2 piece of ram, and ram from another computer, same with GPU and HDD's and PSU (basically swapped everything from another computer except motherboard and CPU, still same thing happens).
What puzzles me is that the computer works 100% fine, nothing seems wrong, then it suddenly locks completly. all temperatures are fine, all performance is up to par, everything seems in order. Games run at max fps etc (if i even manage to start em before it freezes).
My desktop ignores the settings in Power Options and automatically goes to sleep. I have made sure that all of the advanced settings are set to Never. In the screen saver settings, it reverts back to 2 minutes after I apply the changes. Also, editing the value for ScreenSaveTimeOut found in location HKCUControl PanelDesktop from 120 to say, 3600, has no effect and reverts after refreshing. Deleting the key altogether also has no effect.
I have a Lenovo Yoga 500 i5. When I login to it the screen goes blank, then goes to desktop, and then the mouse freezes. I can not do anything. I can't even access my documents to backup my school things.
My computer specs: Lenovo Yoga 500 - 14ISK Windows 10
I have updated my desk top with no problems and have set it to sleep after an hour, however it still goes to sleep after 10 minutes. It then sits with the blue sign on screen with no account pic or sign in box for ages before going to a blue screen which flickers for a few seconds before giving me the sign in options. I have tried adjusting all the power saver options to no avail!
WPS Writer is Opening' a "New Document" Every 5 Minutes By Itself, Weather I have a WPS Document Open' Or if I am On the Net? I was Even trying to Un-install WPSOffice with Revo and CCLeaner and do a Reinstall and It was still even Doing it then? It Just Keeps on All Day I cannot stop.

I am making a pc with a NZXT s340 case which does not have any external 3.5" bays. I was wondering if I could istall windows 10 using an external dvd writer which is connected by usb. will the dvd writer register on the PC without an os? Will I be need to change anything in the bios? Also if I have to install it by USB, how do I do it?
One night I go on my pc to find out that it doesn't work properly anymore. I boot up normally but when I try to open any program, the loading icon appears on my cursor and after about 10 seconds my desktop crashes. My wallpapers turn from their normal wallpaper element to white plain background (the same way when a program is not responding it turns white).
Even if I am able to open a program, it will take 1 plus minute to open it, and then take another minute to close it. I tried to download drivers but it wouldn't let me because it just crashes.

I can't reinstall windows 10 as I don't have the disc since I got it for free from the windows 7 upgrade, and my windows 7 reinstallation disc is broken, so that's a no go.
My PC is crashing nearly every 30min but Bluescreen view has only showed a problem with an USB driver which I already updated and now Bluescreen view doesn't log anymore Bluescreens but my System is still crashing.
My PC is Overclocked and has a 750w power supply.
I already tried reinstalling Windows 10 but it didn't work.
After leaving my computer alone for a few minutes my computer restarts with a REGISTRY_ERROR BSOD. I have disabled ".NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319 Critical" and ".NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319 64 Critical" and also ran sfc/scannow with no integrity violation. I uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers and also reseated the card.
Brand new computer, just took it out of the box. Came with windows 10 already installed. Worked fine at first. I deleted a couple of junk programs like the Ebay app. Transferred some documents, pictures, movies, and music files from an external hard drive onto the computer. None of those files were files types that (I would think) are high risk. Downloaded ITunes. Installed ESET smart security anti-virus program.
Now computer is frozen. Ctr-alt-delete doesn't work. Ctr-shift-esc doesn't work. The cursor can be moved around on screen but clicking anywhere, or on anything has no effect. Keyboard has no effect. The only way I can even restart is with the power button, but when I restart it starts up into the same frozen state. Have tried starting it in safe mode but can't get it to enter safe mode on startup.
The first win 10 upgrade worked well on my Packard Bell Easynote TS11SB laptop, but the next upgrade REALLY SLOWED DOWN the startup process. Now 2 minutes. I've tried the highly unintuitive disable quick boot up trick to no avail.
My two and a half year old pc, after switching graphic card, started to get BSOD about two weeks ago, saying Whea uncorrectable error. I did some research, and tried resetting CMOS, updating BIOS, and memtest86 to see if my rams are done. I also used some intel tools to check if my cpu has problem, but there was no signs. I thought about updating my drivers, but nothing worked. I did not oc my cpu, and it was at safe temperature while gaming, around 50-65.
I got really confused, so I decided to reinstall os, I cleaned out everything with a fresh install. My pc worked well with no BSOD for a week. I did not copy any of my backup files on my external hard drive to the reinstalled pc, and now while I was playing game(assassin's creed syndicate this time) , it happens again, still WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. I am confused that it does not seem like driver or software issues, so would it be hardware issues?
How to read dump files or anything and can't seem to solve it.
I run Win10 under Parallels at MacBook. Few days ago it started to crash about 30 minutes after boot. I don't need to do anything, just wait and it will die. Usually it's REGISTRY_ERROR, but sometimes another error.
sfc shows some errors, but they don't look dangerous.
I've talked to Parallels guys and they claim it's Windows issue, not VM. Checked Win7 VM and works fine.
I shut down my computer when i go to bed at night. Lately when i boot up in the morning, it is very loud for about 10 minutes and then it becomes quiet. also, a small window pops up that says "did not load or could not load".
Brought new CPU+motherboard. Decided to use windows 10. Getting BSODs all the time, every few seconds or minutes. Sometimes even while installation i getting CLOCK_WATCHDOG_FAILED. If i got lucky and windows successfully installed. It bsoding every few seconds with: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_FAILED, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, HAL_INITALIZATION_FAILED. Can't install any drivers. I tired to use win10,win8,win7-Clean install. Everywhere - same issues, same BSODs.
Hardware(Nothing overclocked): CPU: AMD FX 9590 - CPU and Motherboard was tested in guarantee service via IDA64, SiSoft Sandra. No issues was found. MB: ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance GPU: GeForce GTX780 - Have 2 more similar cards. Tried with every of them. Same problem. RAM: 8+8gb 1600mhz Dual-Channel mode. Tested via memtest 1day. No issues. HDD: Have 6HDDs, all was tested. No bad sectors. SMART report also fine. Bsods happens on all of them. PSU: Thermaltake 1200WTT, all voltages looks fine. Anyway i tried with hiPro 1000wtt - same issues.
BIOS have last version v1.20. Tried to reset CMOS. Running windows diagnostic tools gives nothing. When i trying to use windows cmd.exe and run SFC /SCANNOW it gives me BSOD in a few seconds. DISM gives me the same - bsod. Running SFC /scannow via windows DVD says everything fine.
I have a few more old amd FX cpu's. I can try to use them if can find the problem.
so i upgraded to windows 10 from windows 7 the other day (clean install) and my monitors go to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity i have my screen and computer set to never sleep everything is set to never no screensaver i have set system unattended sleep to never (ive set it to +&- ten minutes and doesnt do a thing) i am at me wits end ive edited registry keys to no avail..should i just go back to my windows 7 partition.
On one of the Windows 10 systems here (upgrade followed by reset) all applications including the desktop become unresponsive for up to 20 minutes or so with the "spinning doughnut" mouse pointer displayed. During this entire period, something is hammering away on the hard drive.If I leave it long enough, the hard disk stops churning, and everything wakes up again.
Clearly some process has locked out all application screen updates (why?) while it does something to the hard drive.There are no entries in either the Application or System event logs that match up with the times that this has happened.The only common factor is that on several occasions I've had a VMware virtual machine running, but I don't think that it is every time.
Graphics card is an ATI FireGL V7600 sfc /scannnow thinks everything is OK.
