PC freezes, stops responding, a problem with sensorview device!

[top secret]

So, my PC stops responding every time I turn it on. As a result, I'll have to restart it
again, and when it is restarted i'll get the same problem and i'll keep restarting the PC
until it stops freezing :drool:

So, I used Tuneup to find the error for me, and I got this error [See Pic.]

I did what it says, go to device manager and update the device. This is how the
device manager looks like.

Any ideas about which "devices" are causing the problem? is it a motherboard
problem or not?

up :-S

In the Details tab please select the Hardware ID in the dropdown box and let us know what it says there. That will help us to look the device up.

Also let us know the exact model number of your HP system

I cannot find "hardware ID", you can see my drop down box in the picture below

Also let us know the exact model number of your HP system

it is pavilion m9342.me

Link from HP

 

[usasma]

The references that I find point to this freeware: STV Software - Home
There's suggestions that it's used by HP on their systems (but no proof).

 

[top secret]

So, I just have to install it and everything will be fine?

 

[usasma]

I don't know. I would suggest removing that software from your system to test and see if it helps.

 

[top secret]

the software is not installed... so I decided to uninstall the driver from the device manager.

And when I try to install the program I got those errors, and it doesn't start.

[usasma]

? Try installing the freeware application that I linked to, then uninstall it to see if it removes the sensorview stuff ?

 

[top secret]

I downloaded it from the link... and unfortunately I got the same error.
If I just uninstall it from the device manager, is it going to affect my pc?

 

[usasma]

I don't know, but suspect that it won't.
Backup your stuff and set a System Restore Point
Then give it a try.
Good luck!

Unfortunately the problem still exist after uninstalling the sensorview

 

[usasma]

OK, so the sensorview isn't the cause of your problems.

Please provide this information (even though you're not having BSOD's): http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html
Also please provide us with the approximate date and time of the last problem so we can narrow it down in the reports that we'll be looking at.

last time of the problem was today 26/11 and it freezes 3 times. At 7:00 GMT

Is Windows 7 . . .
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 32-bit
- the original installed OS on the system? No
- an OEM or full retail version? Retail version.
- What is the age of system (hardware)? I think 3 years
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) approximately 7 months

The report:

When I turned on the PC now, I had to restart like always; however, after restarting I got this message:

Though there was no blue screen!!

The whole message was:

Sometimes the Blue Screen occurs so rapidly that you don't see it.
The STOP 0x117 error (same thing as BCCode: 117) is very similar to the STOP 0x116 error - as such, please follow these instructions to start troubleshooting it: http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lo...op-0x116-video_tdr_error-troubleshooting.html

The perfmon report shows that the HomeGroup Provider service didn't stop gracefully. Further investigation may reveal a cause...
There is a also an issue with an unknown device (\ROOT\NET\0002) - either a network adapter or a modem (most likely). Please check in Device Manager to see what it is. If Device Manager doesn't let you know, then please look for info in this free program: HWiNFO & HWiNFO32 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools

I cite this program because I found information from running the command line version with the /ui switch on a Win98 system. The command line version won't work on XP or later, so try the Windows version and see if it reveals more about the UNKNOWN device.

There is no copy of the MSINFO32 report in the uploaded files. Please do the following:

MSINFO32:
Please go to Start and type in "msinfo32.exe" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Save the report as an .nfo file, then zip up the .nfo file and upload/attach the .zip file with your next post.

If you're having difficulties with the format, please open an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt and type "msinfo32 /nfo C:\Users\Public\Desktop\TEST.NFO" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then navigate to the C:\Users\Public\Desktop directory to retrieve the TEST.NFO file. If you have difficulties with making this work, please post back.

Additionally, please remove Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% as they can cause BSOD's. Also, please use this free tool to remove the particularly troublesome sptd.sys component: DuplexSecure - FAQ - Remove 32 bit sptd.sys

It is possible that the following older drivers may be causing your problems.
Please either REMOVE or Update the older drivers listed below.

HOW TO FIND DRIVERS:
DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Driver function of Device Manager as they are not the most current versions available.
Also, DO NOT update from the PC Manufacturer's website unless the Driver Reference cited below states that you should get the drivers from the OEM.

The most common drivers are located on this page: Driver Reference
If you can't find the driver, post back and we'll see what we can find.

Here's the older drivers that were found in the memory dump files:

The BSOD also blames a component of the graphics sub-system, so I'd suggest that the steps in the first paragraph of this post are the most likely to help out.

Remove completely or update it?

Lot's of STOP 0x117 errors in both the MSINFO32 and the Watchdog folder. This is most likely a video problem - either the drivers or the video card itself.

In the HWInfo report you're looking for reference to the UNKNOWN DEVICE (\ROOT\NET\0002)
If unable to locate it, please go to Report on the Menu bar and select Create. Then save the report, zip it up, and upload it with your next post.

As for the sptd.sys file - remove it completely. It's the component of Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% that causes the problems. If Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120% isn't installed, then don't worry about it - just remove the sptd.sys file with the tool specified.

In order to remove the OpenVPN driver, uninstall the OpenVPN program.

As for the mdmxsdk.sys driver - I would uninstall the modem software, then I would remove the modem from your system (pull it out of it's slot on the motherboard).

Keep your eye on the Function Discovery Provider Host for a week or so. Make sure that another program doesn't re-disable it.

Please follow the instructions at the link for the STOP 0x116 error: http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lo...op-0x116-video_tdr_error-troubleshooting.html If that doesn't fix it, then it's time to consider trying another video card (if the system is under warranty, ask the service center to do this).

It is already uninstalled.

Okay.

Use this technique to "reset" your pagefile:
a ) Go to Start...Run...and type in "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
-Then click on the Advanced tab,
-then on the Performance Settings Button,
-then on the next Advanced tab,
-then on the Virtual Memory Change button.
b ) In this window, note down the current settings for your pagefile (so you can restore them later on).
-Then click on the "No paging file" radio button, and
- then on the "Set" button. Be sure, if you have multiple hard drives, that you ensure that the paging file is set to 0 on all of them.
-Click OK to exit the dialogs.
c ) Reboot (this will remove the pagefile from your system)
d ) Then go back in following the directions in step a ) and re-enter the settings that you wrote down in step b ). Follow the steps all the way through (and including) the reboot.
e ) Once you've rebooted this second time, go back in and check to make sure that the settings are as they're supposed to be.

Done.

and run the System File Checker

I got "windows resource protection didn't find any integrity violations"

and i'm running the test now using the free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
