Error LOG files/directories

0
0
Good Morning

Does anyone know a list of directories for error LOGs or a standard way of searching for Error Logs on Windows?

I work at a IT Support and we could use some of the files that are generated when errors occur, problem is i never know exactly where to look.

I also tried Journal Event but it looks very hard to read and to understand.
Any documentation about this?

Thank You
Best regards.

SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION

I have recently upgraded to Win 7 64 bit and have had nothing but troubles ever since. I started from a fresh ISO with a new SSD and Motherboard. After countless blue screens I upgraded to windows 10 and they kept coming, So after numerous OS resets I decided that if I was not going to have to reinstall all of my software and apps once a week. I have returned to Win 7 64 from a fresh install. I am receiving System service Exception blue screens. They are speratic. The event log shows 3 Critical events in the last hour. They are from my crashes. The error events just prior are WMI (event ID 10) and BugCheck (Event ID 1001 a memory dump) I have been told that the error appears to be a driver issue, I have updated every driver possible. I do not know what to do. I cannot successfully graduate like this. The issues may have already caused me to fail a course. Please help.
Here are the event properties for the WMI and BugCheck

My new headset not recording System Audio Help.

I use Audacity and I would use WASAPI and did not need Stereo Mix enabled with my old headset. Now with my new headset I have to use Stereo Mix, WASAPI won't work anymore, pretty weird issue to say the least. I installed Asus Realtek Driver 6.0.1.7354 I record in Mono. My mic boost is at +0.0db. I plugged in green jack in headphone port to record system audio and it does not work. I had no issue with my old headset recording system audio. Now I have an issue with this new headset. Any help woukd be appreciated. Here is the new headset I bought from Amazon. If you want to buy this headset for yourselves I highly recommend them, they sound great and mic picks up sound really well.

System Image.

OK, making a system image seems pretty simple. Just need an external drive and tell Win7 you want to make an image.

So my question is... Say you have a total crash. Boot drive is trashed, no way to recover. So you buy a new drive and you have the System Image that you saved before.

What is the process to get it transferred to the new boot drive in the computer?

Win7- Black bar on left side of screen

0
0
Good evening, I have had this issue just recently. I use 1920X1080 with a radeon 4850HD graphics card. Everything was just fine, however a black bar has appeared on the left side only. I had plugged my cable into the tv to play a game, and when i replaced it back into the monitor the bar appeared..

I would also like to note that this issue only happens on this resolution. Any other resolution works like a charm. I have used google search and none of the suggestions worked for me. I have 2 hard drives with windows on them, and the issue happens on both devices. I have also used the monitors menu to slide the screen over, but it did not avail. New drivers/rollbacks/uninstalls did not help

Could anyone help me out here? I could provide a picture if needed.

Thanks and have a great week!

Hello guys

My PC is a HP Workstation xw4400, with WXP originally.

I upgraded to W7 with a Disk. That was for about a year now.

On this occasion it was running, but I had forgotten to remove two USB sticks.

I started it and when I returned it had been operating with Dell Backup. At one point it showed it was 'loading files'. Must have been loading from the USBs.

I tried to use my W7 to rectify the problem, but I get 'Removeable Media is bad or missing'.

Can anyone help please. Thanks. Listone :thumb:

Computer fails to boot after I accidentally set the PC Config Maximum Memory to 0

0

Hello all,
I guess I'll start at the beginning: my computer has been acting funky for a while now. For the past several months, every time that I attempted to update my graphics driver (EVGA gtx 670), my computer would boot back up to a 800x400 resolution screen, and it seemed to fail to recognize my video card. So, I just reverted to older versions of the driver, and problem solved.
More recently, I was working in Maya, and my computer gave me an error. Don't remember exactly what the error was, but it was failing to save into the C:/User/Documents/Temp folder. As a fix, someone suggested to update my graphics card driver. So I gave that another shot. I used the NVIDIA control panel to update my driver, restarted my computer, and bam! Same thing again. Computer booted up to a low resolution, only displaying on my primary monitor. However, it actually finished installing this time, and did not crash. I rebooted my computer again, and everything seemed to be in working order. So, I tried Maya again, and unfortunately, it still did not work.

So that is part one. I'm not actually sure that the updating of the graphics card actually has any implications on the current troubles I'm having, but I thought that I should include it.

Fast forward to today. For research purposes, I tried to boot up a game that I haven't accessed in a while. I open Steam, try to open the game, and my computer freezes. Reboot my computer, try again, and it freezes again. I try a few other games, and they seem to work, so this is not a huge deal, I can get my screenshots online. I open another game to grab some screenshots, and the game starts fine. I attempt to use the prt sc button (yes I know that steam has a built in print screen function), and my computer freezes again. Strange. Reboot, launch the game again, prt sc again, freezes again. Weird. So eventually I use Steam’s print screen function.

Now that I have this new problem, I start looking for solutions. Apparently one way to fix this prt sc problem is to access Windows System Configuration-> Boot-> Advanced Options-> uncheck the “Debug” box. I do that, restart my computer, and prt sc seems to be working now. However, when I’m in this menu, I see that my computer is only using 3gb of ram of my available 24gb (though Windows 7 64 bit can only use up to 16gb). So I restart my computer, and start looking for a fix for my RAM issue. One source suggests to disable the “Maximum memory” checkbox, and it seems that this is fairly well supported. So I uncheck the box, see my 24,000 pop up in the max memory area.

Great! I restart my computer again, and try to take screenshots, and again, it freezes up. So, I restart and go back into my system configuration, and see that the “Debug” box is checked again. Here is where I suspect things went totally wrong. I uncheck the “Debug” box, and I THINK, I’m not positive, but I think, that out of the corner of my eye, the “Maximum memory” box is checked, and it has a 0 value in the max memory field. Now, I’m not 100% sure of this, but I think that is what I saw. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, then I restarted my computer again.

Now when attempting to start my computer, I get my BIOs option, and then it automatically loads Window’s Boot Manager with the message: “Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix this problem: 1.Insert your windows installation disc……. 2….. 3……. If you do not have this disc, contact the system administrator…. Status: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible ENTER=Continue”

Now, strangely enough, the first couple of times that I attempted to start it, I was given the option of “Starting Normally” and going to the “Windows repair”. I tried to “Start Normally” a few times, and it would get to the windows loading screen, my Xbox controller would vibrate, and then I would see the blue screen of death for 0.5 seconds, and the computer would crash. Now, however, I’m not even given the option to start normally, and it takes me right to the screen described above.

I don’t know if this is possible, but my fear is that I accidentally set my “Maximum memory” ram to 0, and now the computer won’t boot. My computer is about 3.5 years old, running an i5 3750k(?), EVGA GTX 670, 120gb SSD C:, 500gb B:, Asus Mobo, 24gb of ram, external hardrive, etc. Please let me know if you have any suggestions at all. Perhaps there is a way to increase the available ram through the ASUS boot manager? I really have no idea.

Thanks to anyone who can provide any help at all.

TLDR: I may have accidentally changed my “Maximum memory” to 0, and now my computer won’t boot. I get this message: "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" on the boot screen.

Windows 7 questions

My hard drive seems to have finally died on me, so I will be replacing it for a SSHD instead. Since it seems that I'm not going to be able to perform a clone of the current OS, I'm just going to replace the hard drive for the SSHD. In my current OS I had Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) but will go ahead and purchase Professional instead. Will I be able to go from Home Premium to Professional?

Since my current OS came with the OEM product key (because the computer did not come with a DVD, etc.) it will no longer be valid because of the different hard drive, upon instilling the new drive, will I be able to just insert the DVD from Professional and perform a clean install of the new OS?

Would really appreciate anyone's help with my questions. BTW, my computer is a Dell Insipron M5040, 8gb RAM.

PC is slow after replacing a blown motherboard

Hi all,

I'm not fantastic with computers never the less I recently got a gaming PC. I got ripped off by a dodgy high street seller so i have no warranties to any parts but to cut a long story short blew the motherboard and ram. I wanted to replace them with the exact same motherboard and ram size because I knew I could play all of my games on high and sometimes ultra settings with no issue at all.

I took it to a local store, they did the job and although the specs are exactly the same its insanely slow and I'm lucky if I can get a game to play on medium settings. Apparently the guy that fitted the replacement motherboard and ram literally put the new hardware in and powered it up.

Could this be the issue and if so how do I resolve this? I don't have the original disk or code to the operating system will this be a problem?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Cannot Access Samsung Mobile Phone

Windows 7 Laptop.
I plugged in a Samsung mobile phone to the laptop using the USB cable supplied with the phone and it did not appear in Windows Explorer. It appeared as an "Other" device in Device Manager and so I then downloaded and installed Samsung's Kies program which included a driver. The phone appeared as a device in Device Manager (removing it from "Other"). When I plugged in the phone to a USB slot I heard the "bleep" that I expected, indicating that the phone connection had been recognised by the laptop. However, the phone still did not appear as an entry in Windows Explorer OR the Kies program. All I could access were the folders on the laptop. Any advice please?

Win 7 Client Mapping to Server 2003

0
0
I currently have a Win Server 2003 of which I was running XP's on for 5 years with no latency issues while logging in. I just upgraded the CLIENT PC's to Windows 7. I MAPPED the drives to each CLIENT but after the login name and password are entered the time it takes to MAP the drives is at a minimum of 1 minute. Before they mapped in seconds and these CLIENT computers are much faster then what I had in the XP's. Any suggestions? I have already tried to "relax" the security settings on the CLIENT computer but to no avail. Should I try SHARED FOLDERS instead, but if that's the case I have a NETWORK software that all the CLIENTS use off the server. Plus we save ALL work to the server which gets backed up nightly, so all the EXCEL 2013 files need to be accessed from each CLIENT to the SERVER. Again, my problem is lying with the LATENCY on logon....after I open the programs and the drives are mapped the computers run very fast. Ideas?

[SOLVED] Making sure file copied properly

0

So, I have a 5gb image that I am trying to transfer to a USB stick.

its just a cheap old 8gb usb drive, I think its usb 2.0? not even sure. I bought it a few years ago for 5 bucks.

But anyway, I formatted the stick to NTFS so I can put big files on it, and copied it over.. Well, windows 7 itself froze, and stopped responding with about 20 seconds left on the transfer, and after waiting 5 mins to see if it would fix itself, I restarted windows explorer via task manager..

So, the file shows it is on the stick, and the image itself /seems/ to work/mount alright, although I can't exactly check every file within the image to verify the integrity.

I ran a MD5 checksum on both files (the original on my hdd, and the copy on USB stick) and they both show the same value.

Would it be safe to assume that the file is copied properly?

It is very important that this file is not corrupt, or only half copied or something, so, that is why I am asking..

Thanks :)

USB Drives not properly mounted

Hello,

This is a variation on a problem I have seen talked about here, but none of the solutions I have seen work for me. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a home-built computer. Over the last few months I have upgraded most of the computers here (4 of them) to Solid State Drives (250 GB SSDs). This was not too difficult to do, I used the Samsung Migration software to successfully move my current system from a "spinner" to the SSD, changed the boot order, and voila... I was in business. Recently my "main" computer was starting to get a little full for my liking so I purchased a 500 GB SSD (all of these were Samsung 850 EVOs) and used the migration s/w to copy my current SSD to the 500 GB SSD. I, again, updated the boot order in BIOS and all was well. I left the 250 GB SSD in the machine for a while, since I didn't have an immediate need for it elsewhere. About a month or so later, I removed the 250 GB drive for another project. Ten days after that, I needed to create a USB media stick for a friend. When I put the stick into the USB port on the front, the computer said it was installing the driver... then said the driver was not successfully installed. I did everything I could think of to update the driver, but the system always said the "best driver" was already installed. Repeatedly uninstalling and/or upgrading the driver did no good.

Somewhere I read about doing a system restore as a possible answer. I set a restore point every evening, so I had plenty to choose from. It had been about two weeks since I removed the 250 GB drive. None of the restores did any good, so just for grins & giggles I decided to try the 250 GB instead. I installed it and it worked perfectly... both of my WD essentials and all of my pen drives worked. When I had originally done the migration from the 250 -> 500, there had been some data on the disk. So I reformatted the 500 and migrated again. No Joy. I tried doing an Acronis restore from backup to the 500... nada. I even did a "clone disk" to the 500... nothing worked. And here is where things get SPOOKEY!

At some point I booted with the 500 and 250 both in the machine. The 500 was the boot disk. THE 500 WORKED! But as soon as I removed the 250 from the machine, the 500 went back to its old ways. I replaced the 500 with a 2TB "spinner" I had laying around and the results were exactly the same! What is going on here? Anyone have any ideas?

Dual Screen Display

Please forgive me if this is not the correct place as I am new to this forum. I have an HP Computer with two HP monitors. One monitor is connected from the PC via VGA. So VGA from PC to VGA ON Monitor. I bought a second monitor and I have a DVI from the first monitor to DVI on the second monitor. The first monitor is a HPL1950G and the Second Monitor is a HP Compaq LA1951G. My question is can I run dual screens the way this setup is? If so how? I can not figure out how to do so. Maybe their is not a way. Any help is appreciated. Their is only one VGA port on the back of the computer.

Q

Possible upgrade problem because of location of System Reserved part?

0
0
I want to to an 'upgrade' from Win 7 to Win 10, but I messed up when installing Win 7 - my "system reserved" partition ended up on a non-system drive (see attached). I don't want to carry over this mistake to Win 10... (plus the Win 10 upgrade says to disconnect all non-system disks -- something I guess I should have done when installing Win 7)

What is the best way to resolve this? Can I fix this in Win 7 then upgrade? If so, how?

Thanks,
\Dave
