My computer has been very slow of late. It seems to hang up and/or freeze (for various amounts of time) whenever I pull up any application (internet, programs, folders, anything). [code]

I have a Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit os, 2 gb ddr3 ram, i3 processor in my computer..It took around 4 hours to install the OS in which most of the time consumed by expanding windows file part. I had to manually install the drivers(sound and display) using the intel driver cd. Now what happening is , my system freezes frequently and some time showing a service system exception (a blue screen message) and turn off automatically I changed my harddisk. Bought a new one but still the problem persist. is it related to RAM ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently we had a builder round, and the electricity tripped while my computer was on since then my computer constantly freezes randomly no given time really (could be guessing at this time really as updates have occurred as well recently). An example is I could be browsing the web on a variety of browsers or just using the computer in general. the computer will lock up sometimes allowing me to move the mouse but not being able to do anything, and sometimes not being able to move the mouse, (ill usually get a circle spinning were the mouse cursor is). I've just noticed something when it recently crashed, a small popup windows appeared saying windows is not responding, or something similar?
It will then unfreeze about 2-3 minutes later? And when it freezes, I could press ctrl alt & del, then the task manager will pop up when the computer has resumed itself. I recently ran memtest on all the ram after around 50 hours of testing there was an error on one piece, another thing it could be possibly one of the updates I have run for drivers bios etc, but id be clutching at straws trying to find out. I have norton 360 and malwarebytes on, both find NO Viruses, so I retested one at a time in the same dimm slot, no problems? I then tested in pairs still no problems? I then retested all and this time I had no problems? strange? but only retested for 30 hours. At the bottom of the memtest screen, it said pass complete no errors.
I built the computer I'm currently on back in mid May of 2011. I put a lot of money (about $1500) into this machine so that it would last me a long time, but now I'm having some major problems with it randomly freezing. The first time this happened was once about three weeks ago, then it happened once last week, and so far three times this week(twice today alone). It doesn't look like one single thing is causing it, although 2 of the 5 times so far that it has happened, I did notice that it was triggered when I ran a program (once it was firefox, the other time it was minecraft, but I have since then run both program with no problem). Another thing to add is before my computer actually completely freezes, everything just starts lagging (mouse, etc) extremely bad for about 10-15 sec. I'll also add that I'm 100% sure a virus is not causing this, and I have run cleaning programs/defrag.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed a new ssd (X-25m) on a clients computer along with Windows 7 64bit and 8GB of RAM. The computer hangs for anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 seconds+ and sometimes just freezes up all together until I restart. Sometimes, it freezes icons and I can still use the mouse, and can double click to start a program, but it won't start up until it unfreezes, then everything I've opened suddenly opens all at once. Other times, even the mouse is frozen, and I have to wait 30s to a minute before I get it back.

At various, seemingly random points throughout using the computer, Windows 7 simply freezes or locks up. No BSOD or error code is given, it simply becomes completely unresponsive. The only means I have of shutting down/restarting is to hold the power button and force it to turn off.Using 32 bit Windows 7 Professional Downloaded and clean installed over XP Home a couple weeks ago Computer is an eMachines T3104 with a AMD Sempron 3100+ processor - circa 2005 In an effort to combat old hardware with the new Windows 7 and freezing, I upgraded to 2GB RAM, 430 watt PSU and an AGP 8x video card (Jaton 3DFORCE FX 5200TV) I tried to update the BIOS (currently Phoenix-Award 6.00PG) today. That program hangs up while Windows 7 continued to work. I'd love for it to be fully operational. It is not used for any gaming - online or otherwise. I use it for internet and school work (Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus u56e laptop I got back in December 2011, and recently I did I clean reinstall of my system because it kept freezing and locking up while simply just browsing the web and listening to iTunes. I don't use this laptop for games, but after the clean install, I updated all my drivers, software, windows updates, etc. and I still get hangs and freezes that last 5 seconds to sometimes a full minute and all I'm doing is listening to music and browsing websites with maybe two or three tabs open in Firefox. I really have absolutely no idea what could be wrong so I came here seeking any kind of much needed help and assistance. I don't have a lot of programs installed and I don't run a lot of programs at once, just maybe one or two apps usually. My problem is I will be browsing on Firefox listening to music, then iTunes will hang for a few seconds and the music freezes, then Firefox freezes too sometimes for a few seconds also, then it goes back to normal, and this happens very very frequently to the point of frustration and I simply don't understand why a new clean laptop would have an issue such as this.

Like it says above, this is a clean install. I have tested the RAM with Memtest86+ for 8 hours and found no errors. I have tested the HD with Seatools and found no errors. I have run Prime95 for hours without errors. I water cool my CPU and GPU and temps max at 37C.The OS constantly hangs, freezes, or whatever its called NONSTOP. Most of the time I'm able to move the mouse but can't DO anything with it. Eventually (within minutes) it comes back to life and does everything I'd been trying to do while it was frozen. I don't get much time inbetween freezes (a minute max between freezes). I've reinstalled the OS several times and no joy. At first I thought it was a bad motherboard, so I RMA'd it and it is still having the same issue. These freezes began happening well before video drivers were even installed (or any other drivers for that matter). It even does the same thing in SAFE MODE.from the EVENT VIEWER:

About week ago my computer started freezing and rebooting and then hangs at bios splash screen (will stay there with nothing happening for hours if u let it) until you reboot it than it comes back fine until it does it again. The only thing I noticed is if the machine is off for a while it takes a lot longer for it to happen, If you restart it it last around 15 -20 mins.
1) Updated all drivers and checked device manger for errors.
2) checked and defragged drive C: drive (ssd)
3) checked both for events and dmp files (nothing ) made sure reporting was on
3) Ran windows mem check froze twice while testing once with both strips and once with only one strip installed
4) replaced ram

After recently building a custom PC, I am doing a clean install of Windows 7 (64 bit) and all goes well through the installation process (loading, expanding files, etc) except when after the 2nd restart when it starts up for the first time. It freezes or hangs on the black “starting windows” screen (the one with the new colored windows logo).
I have tried installation a number of times, including with a bare bones configuration (2 Gb RAM, 1 HDD, 1 DVD Drive, GPU, and all other peripherals disconnected) and still the same thing happens. I have also tried the process using the VGA cable instead of the DVI.
I was able to successfully install XP after failing to install Win7, so I don't think my HDD is bad. I am also using a PS/2 Keyboard

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) OEM system builder pack
All components were purchased new from Newegg. I also have some peripherals: 2 DVD drives, Multi card reader, extra USB, firewire ports, wireless LAN card (although I disconnected those for the initial install attempt).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am really at a loss to figure this one out. Could it be something to do with my video card driver? (Do I need to install that in the BIOS?)--I can see everything fine on my monitor though.
I have an Asus G73JH-BST7 Laptop and recently it's been freezing. For the past two months it has had issues with programs hanging for 1-3 minutes then quickly responding again. About a week ago the laptop began to freeze and wouldn't come back and would required a hard restart. I decided to make use of my warranty and took it into a geek squad store. They told me they ran chkdsk and "other" tests to check the HDD and it passed all the tests and they couldn't "Replicate" the problem. So, I took the laptop back and it's still hanging/freezing. Whats the best way to go about diagnosing this?

win 7 hangs on startup and freezes or BSOD 0x000000d1 within 1 minute usually. system runs fine if I boot to safe mode.no serious hardware or software changes around the time it started happening (that i recall) I didn't use my pc much for a few days and then the first time i noticed (around June 7th, 2012) I just logged in and there was a popup saying something like windows had recovered from an unexpected shutdown and the system was really slow and then it froze. Makes me think maybe a power outage corrupted something (i'm not on a UPS) or a windows update went badly. i tried to update several drivers in safe mode but none were succesfull.

I've got a new copy of windows 7 (32 bit version) I have got 4 GB ram only 3,25 in use (like I had on the XP version, running on the same PC) and after I boot up the PC I just look at the desktop, play with some random games, create and delete folders, do some little stress to the RAM or sometimes just doing nothing. The only boot that works is safe mode and its variants.
Things that I've done in the past 7 days:
-I checked RAM integrity - no errors
-Everything is up to date (drivers, everything) - it hanged/froze even with a fresh copy of Windows 7
-I use wireless if that is a problem, found some errors about it and will post them after this list
-enabled services and disabled them VIA msconfig (toying around I found out that it WONT CRASH with any internet service on normal mode)
-I checked Windows 7 compatibility and it's 100% compatible
-Tried to update BIOS but I don't think it will solve anything anyways
-Used dozens of registry cleaners (CCleaner and lots; lots more) - still nothing
-Put a second HDD on my machine with Windows 7 same version, it still crashed, but on the second machine the second HDD works great.

Computer posts, then checks hard disk RAID status (Healthy), then a white blinking cursor appears on upper left corner on black screen, and hangs there forever, UNLESS i put in a Windows bootable CD, then based on my boot priority order (CD ROM, HD) it reads the CD, then it displays "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD...", for which i don't press anything, and the computer proceeds to boot Win 7 OS correctly. So basically it doesn't boot unless i just have a bootable CD in tray.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was shutting down my laptop last night and there was a program (Adobe Reader, I think) that caused it to wait before shutting down. I left it assuming it would eventually shut down. I pushed the power button this morning to turn the computer on, and it says "resuming Windows" and then goes to the screen that says "Logging off". It has been hung up on that screen for over 30 minutes now, so who knows how long it did that last night when it was supposed to shut down. I can press and hold the power button to get it to power down, but when I press the power button again, it starts the same "resuming Windows" stuff all over again. I tried tapping the F8 button when it was restarting, but no luck. I can't use my computer at all, This is a pretty new laptop (Dell), so this is especially frustrating. Not to mention I have LOTS of work to do and I everything is on that laptop.

This laptop will work fine when it is booted up and for ~30 minutes after that. Then it starts to get slow to the point where web pages refuse to load and it takes a good 2-3 MINUTES to open up Task Manager. CPU usage is not high at all when this happens. I have run Memtest86+ as well as Seatools for Windows and the diagnostic tools from the BIOS to rule out a hardware problem. I have backed up my files and reinstalled Windows, only to have the same thing happen. Scans with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials have come up clean as well.
Having an issue with my laptop and gaming, the games should by no means cause it to hang like this. Even older games like Half life will hang, I will be playing along and the game will hang, or freeze for a few seconds then go back to normal. This is kinda frustrating especially while playing online.

Asus P5Q PRO (latest bios,waiting if Asus is ever going to release the EFI also for my motherboard lol just like happened with P5Q Deluxe,anyway).
In bios options if I select AHCI i get faster performance and system responsiveness,but from time to time,it could happen anytime,i get complete hangs up so i have to hard reboot my pc. I tried EVERYTHING,also Intel sata ahci latest driver for my motherboard and nothing works. This happens with both 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7,and it doesn't seem to happen if it's set to IDE (which definitely makes my computer less responsive). Thanks in advance to anyone that will help me

I've tried scouring the internet for people with the same problems, but I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. I've also tried upgrading the BIOS in case there was a problem there keeping Windows 7 from installing. Right now the laptop will come on, and only runs well in any of the safe modes, if I try to boot it normally it'll try to finish the installation and freeze.
