When I leave the computer for a few minutes and come back, the computer has shut down and I get the following message: Windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. View problem details: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: f4 BCP1: 0000000000000003 BCP2: FFFFFA8004718B30 BCP3: FFFFFA8004718E10 BCP4: FFFFF800033A0F40 OS Version: 6_1_7601 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 768_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\062511-19812-01.dmp C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-864682-0.sys Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288&clci... If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt I always click for an online solution but nothing happens. The computer in question is Win 7, HP Intel Pavilion desktop Home Preminum,SP1, 64-bit, IE8, 3G memory, 500GB hard drive. The computer has just been upgraded from Win Vista to Win 7 after a hard drive was replaced due to a notification that the hard drive was in imminent danger of failure and suggested that it be repaired or replaced. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to take care of this problem? I am a senior and not computer savvy but have a small amount of knowledge. Thank you so much for anything you can do to help with the problem. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

Try to look at system events by using event viewer. Here is a link how to open it http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/O... You may be able to find there more details about the error. I had similar problem and it was because I had old version of the driver. |

Thank you for that info. but it is for Win Vista and wouldn't work. The computer in question is an upgrade to W7. Could this be the problem? Secunia shows that HP Update version 4.x (which is 4.000.010.008 which is installed) needs an update and Secunia gives a link to download it manually. I can't download and install it because it says there are some files that need to be updated and are currently in use. The programs are: hpwu schd applications; and HD Advisor (process ID: 4548) I do not know how to update the this. I have the setup on my desktop but that is as far as I can go with it. I am thinking about uninstalling Win 7 and see if everything is OK then. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

Hi newby , In another thread you updated your NVIDIA driver (I did the same recently) and had a second thread on the HP update which you closed . In both cases Maurice Joyce (aided by Joe) gave you good advice . A blue screen crash very often arises from a clash between drivers and you have mentioned a .dmp file which may contain some clues . The problem may be annoying but is not fatal , so far . Rather than complicate things by going back to Vista , I would recommend you wait for someone such as Maurice Joyce to catch up with you . Sorry I cannot help you directly myself . Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

Anthony, I will wait for further suggestions. Vista was working wonderfully and I thought since I already had purchased Win 7 when it first came out and Microsoft offered it for $50 that would be wise to get it for the Vista machine. I thought it would be a good time to upgrade when we had a hard drive replaced. I don't have sufficient knowledge to get the problems straightened out. We don't use the computer for games, music, online TV or any of those things - just email and surfing for various things. If I decide to uninstall Win 7, I will probably have to have some instructions. It is not listed in the Add/Remove so would I have to go to 'view windows updates?' I didn't see the nomenclature 'Windows 7' - only various Windows 7 Updates. Thank you for your reply. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

@newby, U locked the thread between U and Joe regarding your monitor sizing. 1. Can U confirm that the problem was FULLY fixed & U had a normal veiwing screen with the monitor at its recommended settings before upgrading? Is there a problem with the monitor sizing now? 2. Please confirm U purchase a Windows 7 upgrade disk which has a 25 letter/number activation code. 3. How did U upgrade? Did U just put the Win 7 disk in the drive & follow the prompts? 4. Was any hardware still attached? Printers/external hard drives/router etc. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

It is good to see you back, Maurice. The screen resolution is fine now and no problem in that regard. I did have a disk with the 25 letter product key. I inserted the disk and followed directions for the install. There was no problem with the install and most of the updates. I chose to update all at the same time and some of the updates didn't update at the first try. I had to restart part way through and I thought perhaps I should have updated a few at a time. I finally got all the updates done though. After I activated Win 7 upgrade, the rest of the updates installed OK. I did not disable the printer nor router though. The printer was off but not unplugged. I think I answered all your questions. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

I think the problem has been solved. The computer doesn't shut down unexpectedly now. The problem evidently was a driver problem. I was able to download the HP software that Secunia was saying that it was Insecure or end of life. So far so good thanks to all of you. I know you had to have gotten frustrated with me but I kept trying and was successful after following the instructions you gave me. Thank all of you again. I appreciate your advice. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

Saved me a job! I was going to offer a remote fix - should all be OK now - as U will know from your other Windows 7 PC once it is set up it is trouble free. Edit: 1. Have U updated the End of Life HP programme? 2. Have U removed the old files from the Vista - Windows 7 upgrade? -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Maurice, I did get the end of life/insecure program installed. No, I did not remove all the Vista remains after upgrading. Office Depot put the hard drive in and installed Vista from my Recovery Disks. I brought the computer home and did all the Vista updates. Then I installed Win 7 Upgrade and did all the updates. (Perhaps the problems I have been having is that I did not disconnect the router nor the printer) - my fault so I shouldn't complain, should I? I have just now run the 'troubleshoot a problem with a hard disk drive' to check for both file errors and physical errors. I selected both 'Automatically fix file system errors' and 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.' I didn't see any kind of report as to what the scan found. The scan took approx. 1 1/2 hrs. to complete. I have no idea how to remove the left-over Vista stuff. I may be interested in the remote fix yet. We will see how this goes now. Thank you again for putting up with me and doing your best to undo what I have done that is wrong. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

Once U are totally satisfied that the upgrade is complete & all files & folders are as U want them to be I would remove the old Vista dross. This shows U how & gives advice on timelines. DELETING THE WINDOWS.OLD FOLDER AFTER UPGRADING TO WINDOWS 7 Once you have finished fully upgrading to Vista U can delete the Windows.old folder created during the process. Instruction on how to do it are here: Windows 7 Upgrade/reinstallation without formatting the drive: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/How-do... Update 2 17:28 08/07/2010 Edit: I deleted the post above as it contained my email address. I take it that at the moment everything is running smoothly on both PC's & PSI scores them both 100%? -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

I thought the problem was taken care of but the computer still shuts down unexpectedly. This is too much to deal with for an old lady so I think I will take the computer back to Office Depot and see if they can get it going or just buy a new one. The gentlemen with which we deal is on vacation this week so we will will wait until next week. I hope it will be easily fixed but if not, it is not the end of the world. Thank you for all your time and help in trying to solve the problem. I do really appreciate all the advice you have given. newby -- W7 - 64 bit - SP1 HP Intel pavilion - Home Premium IE9 8GB RAM |

Perhaps best for U. Like all that have commented on this thread I think it is just a driver that needs updating. If U are only taking the PC back please take with U as much written detail as possible about your printer & monitor - he should be able to pre load them for U if they are not available in the Windows 7 database so that hooking them up again should be trouble free. Hope this helps & U get everything running again quickly. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |
