Failed System Refresh Causes Laptop To Constantly Restart
Dec 12, 2015
I tried to reset my laptop. In the process of resetting it shut down due to overheating. When I turn it back on, the logo appears but no loading bar shows up. It hangs there for a few seconds and then it restarts and keeps cycling over like that. I tried to do a hard reset by taking out the battery and plug, then holding the power button for 30 seconds. I tried doing a system restore. I also tried removing the ram to see if that would work but no luck.
Here's my specs:
- 2.50GHz 3rd generation Intel Core i5-3210M Memory
- 8GB DDR3 SDRAM (2 DIMM) Video Graphics
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M switchable graphics with 2048MB DDR3 and up to 1696MB total graphics memory
- Hard Drive - 750GB
Since I upgraded from Win 8 to 10, I find that I need to restart my laptop several times a day or else it begins to blank out and flicker and then crash altogether. I recently installed CCcleaner (the free version) to clean the cache and that seemed to work but the problem still comes back, plus all my saved passwords get deleted. I have an HP Envy dv7 with 8 GB of RAM. This PC runs pretty well most of the time but when it begins to slow down and flicker, etc., then the problem starts. I do notice that this happens most often after I have been on the web for a period of time.
My pc usually starts up in less then 10 seconds. Sometimes it takes up to 2 minutes which then results in constant freezing once it's started. Then I proceed to shut down or restart my pc and after it's 'shut down' it comes up with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, then the computer reboots. Error also appears after restarting pc. Also, if my pc is left off for a while and I turn it on, it works fine.
I upgraded to Windows 10 everything seems to run fine but system will not restart from the restart selection on the start menu. Windows update will not reboot automatically either. System looks like it is going to reboot, everything shuts down but as system trys to restart everything freezes. Only way around it is to do a hard shutdown by holding the power button. Updated graphics card,hard drive and bios but still no luck.
Windows 10 could't see my Seagate GoFlex Home external drive. I tried to find new drivers - nope. I tried to re-install - nope. I initiated the return to Windows 7 without problems. I have two hard drives: C: for programs and E: for Data. The problem is that Windows 7 won't load. I get the logo screen and then the choice to restart normally or not. Nothing works. My computer is useless and even my backed up data is unaccessible.
Since I bought my new laptop several months ago, it has been waking itself up out of sleep mode. If I leave it in sleep mode overnight, I can be sure that by morning it will be awake. If I'm in uni and I need to slip it back in its sleeve on sleep mode - a couple hours later I will later find the sleeve hot and the laptop awake.
I have tried things such as looking up in cmd propt things that have authority to wake the pc up, but it states that nothing does. I have disabled options on my anti-virus for background tasks. I am just not sure where to go from here as no success so far.
Today I cloned windows 10 using Clonezilla latest stable, but when i restarted the pc with only the new hdd which i cloned windows in plugged, it says "failed boot please insert boot disk press enter" , when i plugged my other hdd , booted to windows and took a look at how clonezilla saved the image :
The image contains :
What will i do next to make this img my main OS, ?
My usb fan i bought that sits under the labtop to keep it cool don,t go off now all the sudden since i had to change the bios setting to allow usb devices to wake computer.because i changed that setting so i would not haft to keep pushing the power button to make it go to sleep an since then now my power to the fan won,t go off.
When I restart my computer an waiting for everything to load it froze can do nothing then a error message comes up an says the call procedure failed. Ran sfc/scannow came back ok. ran disk check no errors.
I'm having a problem where the system is constantly at 100%. Sometimes it goes down, but it keeps going back up to 100%. This is build 10162.How to stop this from occurring? Generally, the service MsMpEng.exe or ntoskrnl.exe which is System are at the top of the list.
I am having an issue with System and compressed memory constantly using at 35% CPU, resulting in the fans on my laptop running all the time and being very noisy.
I have read:
Solved Is this normal? System and compressed memory process ALWAYS at 20% cpu - Windows 10 Forums
Why is using so much CPU?? SB, th2, all updated and indexing done. : Surface
System and Compressed Memory Service High CPU Usage - Microsoft Community
and i have also tried adjusting the pagefile from system managed to Initial 2Gb and Maximum 8Gb, and disabling sleep.
But nothing i do seems to stop this usage, some people seem to report that it goes away after 30 minutes or so, or rebooting a few times seems to sort it out, but nothing seems to be working in my case!!!
My computer was just fine and today I turn on my computer and a blue screen says "your pc ran into a problem. We'll restart for you. Error: system thread exception not handled"
How do I fix this and get my computer back? I don't even know how to get into safe mode.
I tried to reset Windows 10 after having problems with Drive C ,after going through some of the procedures a notice came up saying it couldn't reset. Now nothing comes up on the screen only the Samsung name flicks on & off. I have pressed the F4 key to no avail.
I convinced my friend to upgrade to windows 10 on his laptop and it failed leaving it screwed.
The laptop is based on a Clevo W350ET chassis.
When you turn it on it goes to a screen saying 'Recovery Your PC/Device needs to be repaired, A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed, Error code 0xc000000f'.
Any options like revert to a previous built, system restore or whatever do not work.
Any chance of saving the current install or will I have to reinstall everything? My friend has old programs he is concerned he cannot get anymore.
I have an H/P Pavilion g6 lap top. Tried to upgrade to Window 10 twice today. It seems to down load fine, and starts the install phase, when it gets to the black screen where it say it will restart many times, it starts copying files. It gets to 85/87% it shuts the power off to the computer. When you push the power button, it starts up, saying it is restoring previous version of Windows (8.1). Gives a dialog block with Red Shield and an (X) saying some updates were not installed, Error found C1900101-2004...
i bought lenovo g50-30 last week. installed Windows 7 (have licence) and updated to Windows 10. everything seemed ok. after that i decided to clean install Windows 10. That's where my problems started...
during install when laptop needed to reboot, it didn't, and i made force shutdown, and after turn it on and continued installation. After finish laptop is running normaly. but i can't restart it.
every time i try, it stuck on lenovo screen, and nothings happens. i shutdown it on button, and then turn on and laptop boot ok. so i can shutdown but can't restart my laptop.
already tried disable fast boot but with no success.
Trying to do a system restore to the recommend point and other points that I choose. A long time showing "System restore is starting". After about 15 minutes running in that mode, then I get a "System Restore Failed" Message that also says "The Writer's Time Out Expired Between The Freeze and Thaw Events. 0x800423f2"... Why this is showing up or how I can take it back to one of the previous restore dates.
My Acer Aspire One was upgraded to Windows 10. Eventually, I ran into some issues with the start menu not popping up, so I decided to run a clean reset of Windows 10. The reset failed, so I turned off the notebook. When I turned it back on, the message "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart," popped up. My first option was to try to use either f2 or f12 to see if there was some way to get around the issue, but then I remembered that, recently, my notebook had stopped responding to those commands. I do have a USB Logitech K120 keyboard hooked up to it (since the original keyboard messed up,) but it had been working fine for those commands and such up until now.
Today, I downloaded Win 10 using the Media Creation Tool in an attempt to create a bootable USB drive. I plugged that in, yet it doesn't seem to recognize it at all. The same message pops up as before. My acer doesn't have a CD-ROM or anything of the sort, so the USB appears to be my only hope. Is there anything that I can do? I'm hoping there's a way I can force the notebook to recognize the USB, or at least boot into the f2 or f12 commands to see if I can use them in any way.
I recently started trying out Windows 10. It's buggy and frustrating, but it's still in preview mode, so... That's expected.
Nothing was working when I installed build 10074 off disc, so I installed build 9926 off a disc (I got the iso from MSDNAA, I'm a programming student) then upgraded via settings to 10074.
During the upgrade, my laptop started resetting, normal. But halfway through, the resets stopped working.
The screen switches off, the cd drive switches off and the hdd activity light switches off, but the power stays on, and the fan keeps running. It also doesn't switch off on shutdown either.
I finally have a working version of Windows 10, minus Cortana and Spartan (I'm in Aus), but now my laptop won't shut down.
Could it be drivers? Is it OS interference? Is there a way to fix it without uninstalling and re installing Win 10? I really cbf going through all that again...

I upgrade my system with new motherboard Gigabyte gaming 5. All other parts used before and works fine. And now forks everything accept when I restart my computer then it shows no bootable device. But if I shut down it and start up manually then it works. How to fix that? I have windows 10
