windows 7 takes more than 2 hours to boot - windows-7

I am using Dell Latitude E6420.
2 days back while using it Windows crashed 4-5 times, displaying Blue Screen error with error codes IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
after that it showed Hard Disk problems. Since then, it takes almost 1.5-2 hours to completely boot the Windows.
Also after the boot process is completed, none of the application is working fine. Everything hangs for unlimited time period.
If anyone knows any solution for this, please guide me. (facing great trouble these days :( )

Check your ram.
Open your PC. and take one of the ram out(if it's possible. ) turn it on. check if problem still exists. then put it back in. take another one out.. check. rinse and repeat :D
Check your HDD.
Take your HDD out. put it in another pc as data.. check for HDD errors. do it for the other one.. rinse and repeat.
Check your CPU.
Well.. you COULD try switching it with another one.. but if in my case if your problem didn't get resolved with 1,2 i'd get another PC.. or .. try reinstalling windows on a DIFFERENT HDD

Inaccessible boot device stop code error on my dell laptop

I have a real problem, that started from yesterday. I was using my Dell Laptop until I found something called sc, after making my laptop on sleep mode, I tried to get out some piece that I discovered it was for ssd, when I returned it correctly and tried to turn on my laptop again, it showed me the blue screen with a stop code : >"inaccessible boot device".
after a day, I tried to open it again, but nothing happened, I tried alot, searching the internet about the matter but nothing. I also asked someone I know and he told me that ghe laptop needs some format.
Please, Help me finding a solution, because I don't want to format, lots of informations and apps are installed in it, also, there are lots of projects I finished and there is a very important project I am working on, please, help me find a solution without format, and thanks.

free space getting low for no reason

I have just noticed that my C drive is getting full, whereas it still had 30 GB free space 3 days ago.
Given last days activity I can't find any reason for this.
Now I realize that my C free space is getting lower and lower even though there's no current activity on my PC (except that it's turned on).
Every 2 minutes, I lose approximately 100 MB of free space, even though I don't download anything.
I launched my antivirus and I have closed my internet connection in order to see if the free space would stop decreasing, but it continued decreasing at the same pace.
I checked the task manager and notice there was a software running which I think was named "One Drive setup.exe" (during the past weeks, I had many pop up windows saying I had to update onedrive, but there was a problem with the auto update etc... but I didn't car because I don't even know what OneDrive is and I don't think I use it). So I killed this running task.
I thought it had stopped the loss of free space (I even gained 100 MB), but the decrease started again.
Now I connected to Internet again.
I got 300 MB free space back and now it seems constant since 4 minutes. Maybe these little ups and downs can be due to the current antivirus scanning.
But what can explain the loss of 30 GB during the past 2 or 3 days?
Could it be windows update? How can i check this with windows 10?
Could it be a virus or something bad?
Please, answer quickly, i only have 17GB left :-(
Thanks
Which version of Windows OS are you using?
Turn off/ disable System Restore point, this way you will able to recover some space. Other than use CCleaner (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download) to clean your system.
They release patch I believe. But u also can use built in disk cleanup tool(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026616/windows-disk-cleanup-in-windows-10).
Also uninstalled OneDrive/Google Drive unless u actively use this service. OneDrive sync with cloud files so that u can use those off line.

Kibana stops showing data after a while. Logs too big?

I'm running PALallax, which is a custom version of Kibana / ElasticSearch for Palo Alto firewalls. I have it installed on CentOS 7 with more than enough resources (4 processors, 16GB of RAM). It works fine - however, almost every single day, half way through, Kibana will stop showing results and end up with the dreaded "no results found". I know it works, though. The log file continues to grow (which is big, by the way - about 11GB half way through the day). No matter what I do, I can't get any information to display until I delete the log and indices files on the server and reboot - then it starts working again.
I've looked through logs all around the system and can't figure out what is going on. I'm not an Linux expert, so unfortunately I've run out of ideas and have nothing else to try. I've spent countless days googling different things and haven't been able to isolate any specific problem in the logs.
Any suggestions on where to look? Are my logs too big? I can see that I'm not running out of RAM while this is happening. I always have it set for 'last hour' worth of data, set to auto-refresh every 5 minutes.
Monitor the free disk space and set up automatic deletion of old indices to avoid running out of disk space.

Hadoop FileSystem.getFS() pauses for about 2 minutes

I'm having a very strange problem. I'm using dfs-datastores Pail abstraction to write data to HDFS in Java. I don't think the Pail piece is important to the problem though.
When it calls org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem getFS(java.lang.String path) with a path on my local filesystem it pauses for about 2 minutes seemingly doing nothing then returns. This is on my laptop.
The weird thing is that it worked really fast when I was on the network at my office today, but now that I'm home it's doing it again. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with Java 1.7.
Anyone have any ideas what it's doing? What could be different between being at work and being at home?
UPDATE:
I've been stepping through code with the debugger and it seems to be having trouble in Configuration.loadResource(). It's calling that multiple times and it will take 5-10 seconds to return from that function.
UPDATE2:
I've narrowed this down a little further. The biggest hang up seems to be when it calls KerberosName.setConfiguration(). Which would explain why it runs fast at work since the Active Directory acts as a Kerberos server. I don't have one here at home, so it can't find one. Now they question is why in the world it's trying to load the Java Kerberos stuff.
I found a solution (or at least a work around). I installed the krb5-kdc package and now my little program runs fast without any unexplained pauses. After this I removed krb5-kdc, tested and it was still running fast. I removed /etc/krb5.conf and it started doing the pause again. It looks like using the Hadoop library on Ubuntu (at least) requires a /etc/krb5.conf file.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Application silent exit on VS

I'm on windows 7 x64. Using C++ in Visual Studio 2008 and 2010.
When I run any own application with VS after, aprox, 15 seconds the application is forced to exit. No messages, no Exceptions, no nothing. It doesn't matter how simple it is the application.
After a couple of weeks reviewing and commenting my code, I tried by reinstalling my S.O. and programs, thinking in some driver update or something similar. Whatever it was should solve my problem. That didn't solve the problem either.
You can see an example in
https://twitter.com/#!/nachovall/status/176996407780188160/photo/1/large
Note that it hasn't empty the buffer!! Just crazy.
I'm thinking in some whatchdog problem. I mean some, windows 7 issue which causes a given application to exit after some seconds.
The worst thing is that I have no idea about how to search this in Google. 'Silent crash'? It's not crashing, just exiting.
Well, if anyone knows what the problem is... you know.
By the way, I did a whole hardware analysis looking for some CPU or Memory problem. Nothing found.
Even more. I run the debug. I set a breakpoint in the first line of code. The application is doing nothing. Just waiting me to step over in the debugger. After 15 seconds, the application ends. Cool ha?
Ok, all night awake but finally found.
It was the antivirus program. Avast version 7.0.1407. When I disable it, everything get sense again.
It's been 2 weeks. 2 large and exhausting weeks. Anyone who's using this antivirus, please be aware.
