| | Frequent freezing and CHKDSK at startup Ok, here's the deal. First: My Asus laptop running Vista x64 began freezing unusually, when I was doing simple things like saving an image, or nothing in particular. These required a hard reset, and when starting the computer afterward, it suggested running CHKDSK. I did so, but the problems continued with increasing frequency. Then: I got a Windows 7 upgrade from the offer for college students. It seemed to have fixed the problem, but after maybe a month or two, the same issue started again. This continued with increasing frequency until... Now: CHKDSK asks to be run on every startup, however it freezes when the countdown reaches 1. After hard resetting a few times from this screen, it skips the countdown and runs CHKDSK. After letting it finish, I am able to use the computer, but it could last anywhere from a couple hours to freezing as soon as I open a program. I have tried chkdsk /f in the command prompt, but this still freezes when the countdown reaches 1 (and the problem isn't getting chkdsk to run anyway). Possible cause: It got turned off while installing windows updates back on vista and more recently while defragmenting (I tried twice and both times it froze at 41%) I've attached the minidump, though I don't know if it's relevant. What should I do? I've got my files backed up so I'm fine with doing a clean install if you think it'd help. I'd hate to have to take it to someone because I feel like I could just find out what to do online for free and I don't trust that they'd actually fix it. |

| | Do you have the .iso from the upgrade deal? Do you have the Vista recovery discs - if not , run them off. You might want to reinstall it at some stage. Also , backup the mbr - you can restore it after installing 7 - you may find that gives you easy access to the recovery partition again. You can use this freebie for that - and future imaging tasks: Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition I assume you did upgrades before - try a clean install from boot. During Installation , Select Drive options ( advanced ) and format the partition before installing onto it. |

Hi and welcome Both of these were probably caused by your wifi driver (NETw5s64.sys). Besides that you have a ton of old drivers that need to be updated. I dont think you need a clean install yet, but frankly it would cure the problems in the least effort. I would update all the listed drivers. run a system file check typs cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow If these dont cure it. Nuke it and start clean. let us know if you need help Ken J+ Code: ghaio.sys fffff880`09d04000 fffff880`09d0c000 0x00008000 0x429ade0d 5/30/2005 4:34:05 AM secdrv.SYS fffff880`09db2000 fffff880`09dbd000 0x0000b000 0x4508052e 9/13/2006 8:18:38 AM ATK64AMD.sys fffff880`044ac000 fffff880`044b4000 0x00008000 0x4541ff65 10/27/2006 7:45:25 AM ASMMAP64.sys fffff880`06480000 fffff880`06487000 0x00007000 0x45c63998 2/4/2007 2:52:56 PM rimspx64.sys fffff880`05fe9000 fffff880`06000000 0x00017000 0x46a886a0 7/26/2007 6:33:52 AM rixdpx64.sys fffff880`05800000 fffff880`05857000 0x00057000 0x46a9ccde 7/27/2007 5:45:50 AM SynTP.sys fffff880`05559000 fffff880`055ae000 0x00055000 0x4758a4eb 12/6/2007 8:42:03 PM SYMEVENT64x86.SYS fffff880`03c00000 fffff880`03c36000 0x00036000 0x478bf103 1/14/2008 6:32:19 PM rimmpx64.sys fffff880`05fd4000 fffff880`05fe9000 0x00015000 0x47b55af5 2/15/2008 4:27:17 AM kbfiltr.sys fffff880`05875000 fffff880`0587e000 0x00009000 0x48213d14 5/7/2008 12:24:36 AM iaStor.sys fffff880`0129a000 fffff880`013aa000 0x00110000 0x4822463f 5/7/2008 7:15:59 PM dump_iaStor.sys fffff880`010a4000 fffff880`011b4000 0x00110000 0x4822463f 5/7/2008 7:15:59 PM hiber_iaStor.sys fffff880`0c840000 fffff880`0c950000 0x00110000 0x4822463f 5/7/2008 7:15:59 PM sncduvc.SYS fffff880`089d1000 fffff880`089d9c00 0x00008c00 0x4847af56 6/5/2008 4:18:14 AM snp2uvc.sys fffff880`08805000 fffff880`089bfa80 0x001baa80 0x484ced85 6/9/2008 3:44:53 AM RTKVHD64.sys fffff880`08454000 fffff880`085bae00 0x00166e00 0x48577ad1 6/17/2008 3:50:25 AM SRTSP64.SYS fffff880`02e84000 fffff880`02ef7000 0x00073000 0x4945b68a 12/14/2008 8:44:42 PM SRTSPX64.SYS fffff880`02f17000 fffff880`02f2b000 0x00014000 0x4945b732 12/14/2008 8:47:30 PM Code:

| | Thanks for the help guys. I haven't gotten a chance to update the drivers yet, but I ran sfc and found errors or corrupted files that could not be repaired. I'll upload the log now before this freezes up again. |
