    PC hard freezes on reset


    I've been having Driver issues lately so i figured the best way to fix it was a windows reset. The process goes fine up until i reach the actually Resetting page where it just freezes at 12% - 16% and even the loading symbol freezes too. Would really appriciate the help.

    :)

    GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

    @Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

    @W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.
     
  3. Far Cry 4 - computer froze. Only hard reset helps.

    ello. Yesterday when playing Far Cry 4 my computer suddenly freezes with "BZZZZZ" sound.
    Only hard reset helps. So after reset i again run Far Cry 4 and left for 12 hours in background. And after 12 hours without freez, all fine. But why i was had one single freez yesterday ( only hard reset helps ) ?
    There is no any minidumps file to analyze. Minidump folder is empty.
    I run even Prime95 for 10 hours, without errors.

    My pc is:
    4790 stock
    8gb ram
    Sabertooth Z79 Mark2
    Asus Strix 980 ( Oc factory )
    Corsair 750 RM
    HDD 500GB SATAIII


    I dont OC my pc, all is stock.
    I am using 334.75 WHQL.

    IS this game\software problem or hardware?
    Like i say all is fine now, but i am worried about that one single freez ( only hard reset helps ) from yesterday.
    Thank you for any suggestion.
    Should i be worried?

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
