HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC Hangs

HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC error pops up after starting windows and might cause your system to hang up. At times your Hp printer might also disappear from the printer folder in windows vista and also you can see a recurring installation of the hardware. I assume HPQDDSVC is the service to detect the hp devices and configure the detected devices to the HP Solution Center.

As a temporary workaround for HP CUE Device Discovery Service HPQDDSVC error, you can try disabling the service from the services window. Follow the below steps to disable the HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service HPQDDSVC service.

Click on Start--->Run(in case of vista type services.msc in search above the start)
Type Services.msc in Run
Windows Service will open
Find the HP CUE Device Discovery Service
Right-click on HP CUE Device Discovery Service and click Properties.
In the Next window
For Startup type select Disabled.
Click Apply then close the Window.
Restart your computer.

I will keep posted here if i find a better workaround or path to fix this particular issue.

If you are reading this post, you might be facing a similar issue like myself with Nvidia GeForce XFX 8800GT where the monitor goes blank and shuts off after loading the operating system or playing game for just 15 or even 5 minutes.

Before the monitor goes blank your mouse might hang up and become unresponsive, some time the BOD(blue screen of death).Thequcik specifications are NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics 2.0 Alpha Dog Edition.

Interesting thing to notice is that the CPU keeps running, the only way to see the activity on the monitor or screen is to restart/reboot the PC or power cycle. This post will be useful to troubleshoot and diagnose the issue whether it is a faulty XFX 8800gt or your cpu box.



Things that you need to check.

1)Try Updating your nvidia 8800gt graphic card drivers to the latest available version.
2)Try Changing the ram on your mother board to a different slots(if available), if possible replace with other ram
3)Check Your Monitor cables are tightly plugged and also check your monitor supports the frequecy of the display.(Today most of the displays are lcd and tft, that should not be a issue)
The Nvidia 8800gt Display Support Specifications:
Maximum Digital Resolution2560x1600
Maximum VGA Resolution2048x1536
Standard Display ConnectorsDual Link DVI
HDTV
Multi Monitoryes
HDCPyes
HDMI Via adapter
Audio Input for HDMISPDIF

If none of the above troubleshooting steps worked, its definitely a faulty 8800gt graphic card, get the replacement from your reseller. I had no issues after getting my 8800gt replaced.you can get involved in the discussion about the 8800GT Blank Display and Monitor Shuts Off using the below comments section
