Pc Hang After Every 5 Seconds
Nov 3, 2008
I have just bulit myself a new Pc and have discovered quite possibly the most rustrating issue i have ever come across trying to fix. This problem is very inconsistant and happens randomly, My pc will hang about every 5 seconds for about a second, when i say hang i mean both video and sound lockup then return to normal. when trying to navigate around on the net via google for answers this makes things difficult. I have done some deeper digging and found a svchost.exe chewing up about 100 mb of RAM but am not sure if this is the source of my problem. One other thing i use is a DLink Wireless Lan adapter via USB.

I have a totally top of the range laptop, I am not running any of the things like Norton that are known to cause performance problems (I use AVG anti-virus). I have heaps of RAM and disk-space, a fast Intel Core2 Duo chip, yet my computer is slower than my previous seven year old one (that was running XP). It takes about 3 seconds to display things like the Windows Explorer window or about 6 or 7 seconds to bring up Firefox or IE. and about 10 or 11 seconds the first time I open Outlook. That is not taking into account the
time it takes to download the web page or retieve my mail. I am using the default settings in Vista, are there features in Vista (I know it monitors everything) that could be slowing me down this much?

A mate presented me with his Vista laptop, running home premium. It was stuck in the installing stage 3 of 3 loop.Under no circumstances was I to kill vista and start again. He had lost the copies of some of the programs. I used the recovery console to rename the pending.xml file.The machine rebooted correctly.I decided to run the windows update and it hung.I forced a reboot and ran sfc, it reported that there are 3 errors that it can not resolve- this seems to be common!I installed malware bytes and told it to run, after 10 mins it hung again.I told avast to scan at start up, went to bed and woke up in the morning to find the laptop hanging on the frozen login page- I am assuming that avast found nothing as it is set to prompt for action by default.I decided to try disk clean up and discovered that Vista falsely claims that the event logs are 99.1 gb!I told it to delete virtually everything but again it hangs.

The following is a consistent warning that when this event happens it causes a hang in the os. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a driver that can take the place of the nvidia nforce sata control driver as the issue is caused by this driver....

I'm new here and could use some help, if everyone is willing to help me. Also sorry if someone had already did post on this issue, i've tried searching the forums and couldn't find anythign so i thought i would try making a post.
I had recently bought a new computer that had came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it. I have the computer for maybe about 1-3 weeks, it was doing just fine for what i was wanting it to do. But the past 2 days i would go turn on the computer enter my Password and it would just Hang/Freeze on the welcome screen. I have no problem at all booting up into SafeMode, and can usualy get into my account after having 30 or so attempts if lucky. Its just really frustrating and could some help if possible.
Heres the computer from what i can remember off the top of my head, if it would help any.
Aspire x3200 a3200-u3600a
4 GB
320 GB Harddrive
Triple Core Proscessor

I have a Windows Vista PC from a friend to look at, that goes through the DOS start up and get to the bar going across with Microsoft corporation underneath it and if the PC has been off for some time, is just hangs there. I can load in safe mode and also last good configuration etc, no problems. Someone had tried to update the AVG Free Antivirus and it was shortly after this that the problem occurred, I managed to sort out the AVG, but the above problem remains.
I did some searches for problems, and it came up with a Nero...exe problem, which when I checked this, it told me it was nothing to do with Nero Burning software, so I stopped it from loading. But the start up problem remains. is there a problem with Vista, trying to install updates on boot up?

when starting up my HP Media Center PC (2.4 Ghz with 4MEG Ram, Vista Home Premium with SP1), started my account. Once I started...the screen would come up and the task bar would come up, but then the system hangs. Tried to use a different restore point and no dice. Cleaned up disk drive in safe mode, but won't let me defrag. No error messages, nothing, just hangs up and stays there.

My Vista Ultimate-SP1 PC continuously freezes for a few seconds, it freezes then I hear a "click" noise coming from my hard drives and it works again for a while...after a couple of minutes or even less it happens again.. I have all the Vista updates and all my software and drivers up to date, I have already unsuccessfully tried everything and I' don't know how to solve this. I have not reformatted to reinstall Vista, as I learnt searching Google that other Vista users are suffering an identical problem even after several clean Vista Installs.

"I have 2 computers, both running VISTA HOME PREMIUM. (Laptop since upgraded to WINDOWS 7) In the laptop, which is a wireless connection to the internet, WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE ADVISOR, & Secunia PSI will properly connect to the internet, and scan the machine for out of date software. No problems. (IE8 is the default browser)
However, in my desktop, hard wired to my home network router, Secunia will not connect. Nor will the WINDOWS 7 Upgrade Advisor. I set the rules in IE8 to allow the connection, but all I get is the barber pole saying it could take up to 10 seconds to connect, but it never does. I also set the firewall to allow this connection, in both directions. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled the program, to no avail. Same issue......

I'm using a home premium on a lenovo 3000 k series 100 with a intel 2 Quad CPU. And recently, when I set it to sleep, or it goes in sleep it self, it will wake up like 30 seconds right after the sleep, even at the night! I'm so frustrated with it.

Can the compression of the drive c: cause a hang of Windows Vista 64 when I try to unlock Windows Vista 64 in about 8 hours of its being locked? The Windows uploaded through BitTorrent when it was locked. The Windows Vista 64 does not hang if it has been locked less than 3 hours. The Windows Vista 64 did not hang before I compressed the drive c: to save disk space.

I have been noticing lately that I can't download anything! I've tried Rapidshare files, simple stuff like Adobe Reader (just to test,) etc. No matter what happens, the dialogue box (for downloading) stops at 99%, leaving me the only option to "cancel" the download!
Does anyone else know what could possibly cause this? Is it software I'm already running that it's conflicting with, like iTunes or Trend Micro Internet Security? I'd sure like to do more computing than writing simple emails... I'd like to download again.

I have been having this error for the last couple days. Every 10 to 20 seconds the system just seems to "hang". It sits there for 2 or 3 seconds, then resumes normally. Ive checked memory. IT is good. I then ran performance monitoring and it shows up to 45 hard faults per SECOND. I then watched the hard drive activity lamp. When the system hangs there is no activity. as soon as it unhangs there is a flurry of activity lasting a couple seconds. Its like it has to go to the hard drive cache for everything.
Upon checking the virtual memory it is set on automatically manage paging file size. it says minimum 16 mb, recommended 3067, and currently allocated 2345 mb. This all seemed to start after loading GTA 4 which recommended 2.5 g memory and i only have 2 g memory. could it have screwed up my paging file?

if you add a shortcut (to a networked computer, so you can copy files),if its off, it'll hang computer. I thought the prob was because I've got an internal card reader. So, I put an entry in the registry to hide them. BUT this didnt fix the hanging (thats how I found out having the computer off (the one I added under sendto as a shortcut, causes it). So, how would you fix this, without removuing the shortcut to the networked computer?

1) My brother plugged in a pen drive in my laptop which contained viruses at that time i had norton internet security 11.0 which hang during scanning the usb drive.
2)the virus was transfered anyhow without opening any file in my laptop then i manually deleted unrecognized files and folders including desktop.ini this i think was main virus i know its a config file but there was 100 of this files.
3)everytime whether i insert a blank cd,dvd or data cd dvd it always showed me that files ready to be written on disk and the file was hidden guess what was it it was DESKTOP.INI and 3 days before i burn a mp3 cd using roxio media creator and since then my dvd drive has gone... it automatically ejects when i insert blank or data cd dvd and the msg is given to me that "there is no disk into drive please insert cd"......

Posted this in the IE newsgroup. Thought I'd put it here too, and see if anyone has thoughts? Noticing a rash of users in this forum discuss how IE 7 is suddenly freezing, not responding or not working in recent weeks. Problem seems most common on Vista, but appears on XP, too. Getting the same problem myself on both a Dell desktop and Compaq laptop running Vista SP1. Problem often appears when using multiple tabs in IE and/or when closing the IE window. Flash 9 caused freezes too, but it appears more common with Flash 10. Sometimes the freezes are blatant -- and result in a pop-up error. Other times the freezes are over in a second or two -- and you only see the error if you check Vista's Performance monitoring tools. And it's not just IE. Users are reporting freezes with other browsers like Firefox and Safari.................

Very frustrating week as my internet connection is not working properly, and worse not even consistent. Either my connection seems normal or the link up then down alternating for hours. I'm running Vista 32 Using either my speedtouch 536v6 or Belkin G wireless router to access. Problem occurs with either. Have used filtered dsl line or not. Problem occurs with either. Have shut my comp. off. Problem occurs with either. ISP have visited twice, check the line, shrugged their shoulders and closed the ticket. And worse of all not consistent, so it's hard to locate the problem. It connection will work fine for an hour (like right now) then just stop working. I have reset both modem, reset user setting, obtained new ip, etc, etc.

I got her a Compaq Presario V2000 (Windoz XP Professional). It has been serving her needs quite well. But now she calls and says it shuts down every 59 seconds so she hasn't time to run any of its programs like antivirus or IE to connect to web to run maybe LiveOne scan or others. She has asked me to mail her a CD that will be self-booting and contain a good antivirus (and I would say, something like Malwarebyte too) on it, that will run and clean up her computer so she can use it again.
(After that, i need to talk to her more about protective programs for the machine....) She is of the opinion that the infective agent may be "worm.win32.nightshade or something like that." Quoting her. This Could possible be a form of the netsky virus, I can't be sure. At any event, I tried to shop for a curative CD for her problemo. All the CD's I could find contained very old antivirus programs (with three years or older virus definitions ....and most do not even say they remove those viruses..they talk only about "scanning for viruses" whereas we need a scan and a REMOVAL, that is a real antivirus program that works.... with current uptodate viral defintions. And a good malware type additive. Can anyone recommend any such CD, or else any other means she may be able to restore functionality?

I have been seeing at possibly random moments a "creeping" system lock/freeze/hang (I have seen it especially just before the clean install in the original installation). It might start--but not always---with a mouse click to bring focus to an UltraEdit document. I get a "Not Responding", wait for the disk drive light to stop its continuous illumination. And when it does stop illuminating, I still see "Not Responding" and know I am in trouble.
I then start activating other windows, and they start showing "Not Responding". I know I am in real trouble when I do Ctrl+Shift+Esc to get the Task Manager and it never appears; I do this to try to track the nature of the creeping system hang...no luck. The Start menu will open on a click, but nothing else happens. The mouse pointer is still moving around, but nothing is responding to click. What could be at work here? How can I track the cause of the creeping hang?...............

The problem is this: the file server will randomly seem to crash (hang) the network when the other machines are accessing it. This is more noticable with the XP machines, where the hang will cause explorer to crash, whereas the Vista machines accessing it will simply not connect. Occasionally the file server appears to reconnect after an hour or so, but mostly it will require a restart to get it back on the network and functioning correctly. I have had a look around at various forums, including this one, but have not seen this exact problem. I have tried solutions for other related problems, such as disabling IPv6, but this does still not seem to have solved the problem. Any ideas would be most welcome - obviously having to restart all the machines in the office a couple of times a day can be a bit of a pain!

I'm still a bit of a n00b here... but, I've found resolution to an age-old problem! In Internet Explorer, sometimes Vista (and Vista x64, of course) users experience downloads hanging at 99%, or, the green progress bar in the dialogue box freezes at 99%. It can take 2 hours to an entire day for it to finish, or maybe not at all! I've experienced this several times through several reformats. in my case, it was because of installing Layered Service Provider (LSP)-related sofware which corrupted my browser for some reason. I only know that as soon as that went active on my PC, that's when the browser failed. Either way, here's how to solve it! It's "Temporary Internet Files"-related!
1.) Even-if you have hidden folders & files-view set to YES, you still can't access the right folder.
2.) From Control Panel --- Internet Options, do the following:
3.) On Browser History, you'll see a DELETE & SETTINGS tab. Click SETTINGS.
4.) You'll now see "MOVE FOLDER," "VIEW OBJECTS," and "VIEW FILES." Click "View Files."
5.) Typically, in Vista (also x64, it doesn't matter,) you'll see a PREVIEW PANE on the left-hand side of Windows Explorer! That should show the tree of folders leading to "Temporary Internet Files." ......

Recently I have noticed that what ever application I am in, often it stops responding for a few seconds and then it starts responding. I am operating Vista Home Premium 32bt. and have Norton Internet Security 2010 running. No other programs running at startup except sidebar.
I appreciate help on this matter. I have run full NIS scan, full Malwarebytes, and full tune up in system mechanics 9.
