Despite the fact that Microsoft has released and successfully promotes new versions of the Windows operating system, it is Windows 7 Ultimate that can be considered the most successful and popular among users. Therefore, all the problems associated with the installation of the system remain very relevant.
It happens that Windows 7 is not installed or the computer freezes during the installation of Windows 7
Reasons for a long boot Windows and freezes
If a long windows installation 7 or window does not appear initial installation, in most cases it makes sense to change individual BIOS settings. This self-powered solid state storage device is a set of microprograms. Very often, when the computer hangs when loading Windows 7, this is due precisely to incorrect operation BIOS
It often happens that the window bootstrap appears 5-10 minutes after the device is turned to boot disk. There are hardware methods that significantly speed up the boot process.
Windows 7 takes a long time to load, for various reasons, but you need to start with BIOS. If Windows 7, then there are many reasons why the computer starts up slowly. To speed up the work of a personal device, you can perform the following actions:
- Hard Disk Defragmenter
- Defragment and clean registry
- Removing unnecessary programs
- Startup list optimization
Change BIOS settings
Depending on the motherboard and chipset, entry into the Base system is carried out by repeatedly pressing a certain key, immediately after turning on the device. Most often, the following keys or their combinations are used:
- Delete
- F1, F2, F3, F10, F11
- Ctrl + Alt + Esc
- Ctrl + Alt + Ins
- Ctrl + Alt + Del
In modern computers, external drives connect via serial sATA interface (SerialATA). This standard It supports the command sequence function and provides for hot-plugging of devices. To use all the features of this interface, you must enable AHCI mode. When working with windows system 7, before enabling this mode in BIOS, you need to activate the AHCI driver by changing the registry setting. Log in to the following address: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ System \\ CurrentControlSet \\ Services \\ msahci and change the value of the "start" parameter from 3 or 4 to 0. Then you must enter the BIOS to perform further actions there.
fig. 1. If the BIOS entry was successful, the following picture appears on the screenMoving the arrows, you must open the "INTEGRATEDPERIPHERALS" window. This window contains the settings of the SATA controller with the ability to change them. The first line indicates that the controller is turned on, this is indicated by the value "Enabled" - enabled.
fig. 2. IN next line, NativeIDE needs to be replaced with AHCIIn some cases, if the drive is not detected, you can try to set the value of RAID (group connection) .Then disconnect the drive on flexible magnetic disks, which has not been used for a long time and is not part of the peripheral equipment of modern personal devices. This line is as follows: DriveAFloppy 3 modeSupport 1.44M 3.5 ". Next, in brackets you need to set the parameter" none ", showing the system about the absence of this device.
fig. 3. The result is the followingThe device is missing and in addition it is turned off. Pressing the F10 key saves the new settings. Now you need to go to the line "Save & ExitSetup", which means "Save changes and exit." After restarting the computer, the new settings will be set. All of the above operations should be performed if a computer with Windows 7 crashes or a laptop crashes when installing Windows 7.
If Windows is not installed, the cause may be a virus infection of the device. Some software downloaded from the Internet can slow down a lot, therefore, when it is planned to reinstall the operating system on Windows 7, it is recommended that you scan the device using antivirus utilities before starting the process. The new OS should be installed on a computer that is completely cleaned of various "dirt".
Still options what to do if installation of Windows 7 hangs up
Often users complain - "I can not." The fact is that many try to download the program from the Internet, and this is a very unreliable matter due to the large number of viruses on sites with free software. Therefore, it is best to use licensed software on optical disks, or, in extreme cases, a good pirated copy with an activator. In the process, various situations may arise associated with a decrease in the speed of the device or with freezing during some operations.
If the installation freezes windows Updates 7, you can wait a while and if after some time the installation of updates does not continue, then turn off the power and restart the computer.
There is a situation when Windows 7 is not installed from a flash drive. The main percentage of failures when installing from a solid state drive is due to incorrect BIOS settings. The elimination of the causes indicated above is disabling the floppy disk and setting the AHCI mode. Sometimes the program is not readable because it was recorded incorrectly. For the correct formatting and recording of a disk image to a flash drive, you can use the very convenient utility UltraISO, which supports over 30 formats.
In some cases, when unpacking windows files 7 hung at 0%. There can be two main reasons:
- CPU overclocking with hardware
- Many bad sectors on the hard drive
In general, when changing the frequency for overclocking the processor, many software products cease to be installed correctly, but after returning the settings to the initial stateThe correct operation is being restored. An old hard drive can also be a cause of freezing when installing the operating system. You need to check the hard drive using the Victoria program and, if necessary, replace it with a new drive.
WATCH THE VIDEO
Now you know what to do if the installation of Windows 7 hangs.
Every year something new appears in computer technology. All kinds of programs are constantly updated, new ones are created, all kinds of add-ons, patches and packages are released. All this is done in order to simplify the life of the user and facilitate the process of using the computer. It should be noted that operating systems do not stand still. They are not updated with such frequency as programs and data packets, but every 3-5 years completely new ones appear in terms of functionality and features of using the system. So, after the release of the most famous and popular Windows XP OS in 2001, 3 of its updates (SP 1/2/3), Windows Vista, Windows 7 managed to be released, and most recently, the latest, 8th version of the Microsoft operating system appeared on computers.
Despite a large number of various operating systems, domestic users prefer to use the "good old" Windows XP, which for 12 years of its existence has become for most the only system in which it is usual and convenient to work. But the older the system, the more various failures occur in it and the less it is protected from various malicious programs and so-called “bugs” (software errors). What to do if the system does not boot and constantly hangs? We will try to understand the most common causes of these phenomena.
What to do if Windows XP does not boot?
The most important thing is not to panic. Perhaps the reason for the violation or failure of the boot process is completely simple and does not require special diagnostics. There are two main reasons Windows XP stops loading:
- Software issues. Such problems can be caused by a wide variety of reasons, ranging from the interruption of the system due to a sudden voltage drop and ending with viruses that block the process of downloading system files.
- Hardware issues. In other words, the system is not loaded due to the fact that there were disruptions in the operation of the hardware, and not software. Again, the reasons can be very diverse, ranging from the departure of the loop hard drive and ending with the deformation of the hardware due to shock or voltage drop.
How can I determine what the problem is? There is a fairly simple but proven method: to check the hardware, just go to the BIOS. Without going into details, the BIOS is part of the system software (basic data input / output system). In order to enter it, it is enough to restart the computer and at the moment the computer starts to boot (namely the computer, not Windows XP), press F2. After pressing the key, the user can go directly to the BIOS, where he can see basic information about the connected devices and the system. To check the connected devices, you need to go to the Boots section. In this section you can see all the devices and check if the computer recognizes hDD. Opposite to the item “HDD” should be hard name disk, but if “None” is written opposite this item, then the reason for the system not loading should be sought in the hardware.
As a rule, if there are problems with the software, the system itself can determine the cause. In this case, a screen with possible options actions. It is enough for the user to select the item “Download the last successful configuration”, after which the system will be able to automatically recover and boot.
In case any is damaged or missing system filerequired to download Windows XP, the system will also automatically detect this problem. However, in this case, you will need to reinstall the system or start auto recovery systems through installation disk (ASR).
If all of the above actions are not possible, then the problem is most likely the hardware. In this case, the user is advised to contact the wizard to establish the cause and diagnose the hardware. Perhaps the reason lies in the banal departure of the plume of the hard drive or read matrix. And it is possible that the operating system does not boot due to violations in the processor or motherboard. It is best to leave this issue to an experienced specialist.
What to do if Windows XP freezes?
This problem is much easier to solve than the previous one. There are several main reasons why the operating system freezes:
The reasons for the system freezing may be hardware problems. Yes, no matter how unpleasant it is, but the computer needs to be updated. If no replacement of component parts has been made within 7-10 years, then there is a 100% chance that the lack of system performance directly depends on the deterioration of the hardware.
Why does the computer boot slowly when shutting down or, conversely, booting the operating system?
Here, Friends, I’ll try to give an answer to these questions and of course advice to action to eliminate such troubles.
First you need to figure out which of the processes puts Windows in a thoughtful state.
And the built-in will help us with this. windows function a detailed report of startup status, shutdown, login and logout.
Not surprisingly, if you have not come across this report.
This Windows option is disabled by default and can be activated using the registry editor.
Working with the Windows registry
To start the registry editor, simply type in search bar Windows regedit.exe.
Browse the directory tree to the directory:
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Policies \\ System
On the right side of the window, find the file called VerboseStatus. Double-click on it and in the window that opens, enter the value
If the VerboseStatus file does not appear, you need to create it. To do this, right-click, select Create, and then DWORD Parameter (32 bits).
Name the file VerboseStatus and enter a value of parameter 1.
As a result, instead of the usual phrases “Shutting Down” or “Getting Started”, the downloaded and shutdown Windows services and processes will be sequentially displayed on the monitor screen.
If your system lingers for a long time or completely freezes at a certain step, you will definitely know the reason.
Maintaining a status report on startup and shutdown does not in itself solve the problem, but exposes it to technicians whom you can turn to for help.
It is likely that this trick can be done on other operating systems Windows family. If so, share your experiences in the comments.
And so, in addition:
A program that is slow at startup or even freezes must be deleted or prevented from loading at Windows startup.
And how to do everything beautifully so as not to delete something superfluous?
There is a free solution!
Decrap software is not only for new computers, but you can use it to remove software from any old computers!
If you had to buy a ready-made desktop or laptop with preinstalled Windows, then you know exactly how much “junk” software the manufacturers manage to put in there.
Trial versions of antiviruses and office suites, some miserable games and system optimizers, built-in error correction and backup systems.
More often than not, this free junk has more harm than good!
However, to remove it, you need to spend some time and have the appropriate knowledge, since sometimes such software can be deeply integrated into the system.
The free Decrap utility solves this problem and allows you to bring your system to its original form. I also use this wonderful program (it has an option in Russian).
Here is the screen from the screen during installation:
Decrap works as follows. After installation and start-up, the state of the system is analyzed and all the elements “alien” to it are detected.
After that, you will be prompted to create a recovery point in order to be able to return to original condition, if something goes wrong.
After that, you will see a list of software that can be removed from your computer.
You need to mark the items you do not need and click on the Next button, after which the registry will be uninstalled and cleaned from the entries of the deleted programs.
This process can be carried out completely in auto modeso that you can just have a cup of coffee and literally 5-10 minutes later get a completely clean computer.
Particularly worth paying attention to owners of equipment brands Dell, Asus, HP and Toshiba. The program is free and works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
And it's free for personal use. http://www.decrap.org/ But you can download this program here too:
GOOD LUCK, FRIENDS!
And without freezing Windows!
