i tried eveything
i updated all the drivers uninstall reinstall i did a recovery i did eveything with no results
no over heating problems
i asked the support center and they didnt figure out whats causing
plz
anyone can help =(
im disperate

I see that you have an SSD. Did the laptop originally come with the SSD, or was that something you changed?

What is the make and model of the SSD?

the laptop didnt come with ssd ..
i upgraded it i bought one
kingston 128 gb ssd sata 2

Do you have the same issues if you put the HDD back in the system?

yes it will still freeze
i tried four different HDD
same result
and as i mentioned .. one of them was during the installation of windows during the recovery ...
i almost tried eveything

Unfortunately, the best recommendation I can give is to contact the vendor of the laptop. It sounds like you have done all humanly possible steps, and it may require them to check the hardware to find the culprit.

well unfortunatily too i tried them but they did not figure out the problem soo. to show me that they are agood costumer care center they told me that they want to replace :

1. motherboard 280 $
2. graphic card 600 $
3. 2 x 4 gb ram 100 $
4. HDD 70 $

the laptop is out of warranty and im sure i wont do such a thing .. all of that to be replaced just because they did not figure out and im the one whos gonna cry !
and im sure that the solution is not the right one.

The only thing I can suggest is trying to run with one memory module, then the other module, and see if either provides more stability. For clarity sake, let's call one RAM 1 and the other RAM 2. You have two slots; call them slot 1 and slot 2.

Try RAM 1 in slot 1 with slot 2 empty. If that does not allow the system to work well, try RAM 1 in slot 2 with slot 1 empty. If that does not provide more stability, try RAM 2 in slot 1 with slot 2 empty. If that still is not stable, try RAM 2 in slot 2 with slot 1 empty. See if any configurations lead to a stable system.

well im happy cause u are thinking just the way i did..
i already tried that =)
plus .. i tried 8 different rams modules
1 in 1 , 1 in 2, 2 in 1, 2 in 2 and goes on .. etc ..
still freezing ..
as u mentioned before .. i tried eveything humanty can do ..
i guess im gonna buy a robot and let him set, think, work, and figure out whats causing ..

after all im guessing its sth about electricity .. i think thats theres atiny black thing in the motherboard causing loose or giving more static or delivering more or less electricity to some parts or anything like this . who knows ... my humanty after i did all that made think like this .. or lets say its BY LOGIC ..

Have you tried running with your CD/DVD drive removed from the laptop?


I have asked others to take a look. Also, please fill in your system specs in your profile and not in a post in this thread to make it easier for us to help: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

i tried removing it .. also tried to remove the wireless cable from the motherboard and still happened in either way ..

What setting changes do you have available in the BIOS? Anything for switching between AHCI and IDE for the Hard Disk Drive/Solid State Drive?

i will check and let u know ASAP
about the specefication thing u told me to do .. is it an application that i have to install and it will collect data by itself ?
or should i do something?

thanks alot for helping ..
i dont know how to thank you =(!
i really appreciate it

If you run the system specs application and use Internet Explorer, you can have it enter the info for you. If you run a different web browser, you will need to enter it by hand, but the info will be easier to get using the application either way.

And you do not have to install the application. It is a standalone application that just runs and collects the info and organizes it in an easy to read manner.

ya ya got it =)
im on it
thanks.

i did fill my system specs in my profile for .. u might take alook plz ...

All looks good; thank you for doing that.

What settings did you find in your BIOS, or have you had a chance to do that yet?

i hope this helps ...

Alright, backup any important files and change SATA Controller Mode to IDE. Reboot. You may not be able to initially start Windows, so go through steps 3-10 in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219533-troubleshooting-windows-7-failure-boot.html if you cannot boot.

the other one is not IDE ... its Compatibility mode .. ok ?
