Computer Freezes Up At Seemingly Random Times
Nov 26, 2011
whether it be watching a Internet video or trying to view a document on google docs, my browser stops responding. i try to go to my other programs and they stopped responding as well. ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything either, so i'm forced to manually shut down the system. this has happened a couple of times today now.

I've been having issues with my computer for a while now, it crashes at unpredictable times. I believe the crashes started about the same time I installed my current video card.

I recently changed the cabinet of my computer and since then I've been getting freezes and BSODS, when it freezes it just gets stuck at whatever I'm doing and makes a buzzing noise through the speakers. I haven't had time to read the error codes when I get the BSODS, it reboots to fast. The freezes/BSODS appear to happen more frequently when gaming, but it also occurs when I'm just browsing. have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and have tried reinstalling it but it didn't help.

my cheap WalMart Acer laptop freezes and beeps twice at random times. It does not beep twice as it boots, but rather after using it for a while. When I look at a cpu load graph the cpu is running at 90-100%.

for the last few days my computer has started to hang at random times. It could be 1 min or 15 min after start up and does not look to be linked to any 1 program. when it happens the computer will slow down for a min then I just get the round circle icon and nothing works, I cant even do Ctr Alt Del. I have done AVG scan and Superantispyware and all was fine apart from tracking cookies. I have also taken most unused programs out of MSCONFIG startup and still no luck.I will try and run the SysInfo tool and Hijackthis on the computwer now and post the results (Im using a different computer to post this)When it starts to slow Task manager, if i have it open in time, shows nothing strange cpu between 0% and 20%

I was wondering if you could help me out with a problem I have experienced recently. Since a week ago, my computer has started to freeze at random times, which would lead to some random applications closing such as chrome or microsoft security control. I can still use my mouse and such, but the computer would be completely unresponsive. I have tried to do clean installs, with vista, and the problem still persists. I then used windows 7 to do a clean install and the problem still occurs. And at almost every startup the CHKDSK runs. I tried updating my graphics card, and still nothing has happened.

My computer is relatively new. It's a little over a year old Dell Vostro with Windows 7. Lately it's gotten extremely slow, restarts randomly and basically doesn't act the way it should. I've done the virus scan (I have Trend Micro). Everything looks alright but the computer is still a bit of a mess.

I'm getting a consistant BSOD. At first I thought there might be a problem with the case/jumpers so I unplugged all but the main power, but still got BSOD. Then I thought it might somehow be related to SP1, so I uninstalled it, but still got BSOD. Perhaps there is a physical problem with the power supply or MOBO?

I have started recieving BSOD recently and would love some help. The crashes started after I had spent a while trying to reconnect to my home wireless (I have an often faulty wireless adapter.) At points I had unplugges the adapter and plugged it back in causing it to install drivers again. Once I got reconnected I had my first BSOD while on facebook. I tried going back on but it just kept crashing after a 5 - 10 minutes.

I just built this computer around the 1st of August this year. It's my second self-built PC and came together without issue. However, I started having blue screens about once a week since maybe the 2nd day after I first ran it. Every single blue screen seems to be linked to the video card drivers crashing. Usually the drivers will crash and successfully recover as stated by the helpful little message at the bottom right.When the display drivers crash, I'm usually in a game of TF2, League of Legends, or even in Mozilla Firefox. The screen will freeze, sound will continue, and after 15 seconds or so go black for 2-3 seconds then go back to normal. The display driver crashing has happened TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT and seems almost entirely random. Sometimes it will crash 3-4 times in the span of a half hour in League of Legends and sometimes it can go several days with no crash and the same amount of activity on the computer.
I've tried everything I could possibly find on the internet and from friends in terms of troubleshooting the display drivers crashing. I've diagnosed my memory, updated drivers, tried older driver versions, updated everything Windows has recommended, checked temperatures constantly... I'm starting to wonder if all of these issues could possibly be linked to insufficient dedicated memory on the video card? It says 1 GB on the box but when I check in system information it says around 750 MB... which sounds dangerously low to me.One more thing... the blue screens have happened 4 times so far, the last happened about an hour ago and the computer has been sluggish since, I can't even use Firefox due to how painfully slow it works now.

It seems I've been having random BSOD Stop errors ever since I put my new PC together about a month ago. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's happened when I've been doing different things, but it almost seems to happen more frequently when I'm listening to Pandora Radio on my web browser (chrome).Switched my BIOS from AHCI to IDE (read on google this fixed some issues). Did not fix the issue.Read the windows website and attempted to get a hotfix for SATA hard drives (something about them not waking up in 10 seconds). Hot fix claimed it could not install on my computer. Gave up on it.Some system information (copy-pasted from newegg, forgive me if it's a lot of uselessness):

i been having a problem with seemingly random bsods and crashes (ie where the computer forcibly restarts without generating a dump file). i think the crashes happens more frequently when surfing the internet, especially while watching Internet videos, but that might be a wrongful perception on my part.

I have had a persistent and very hard to troubleshoot problem on my PC for the last couple of months. Occasionally when trying to install applications, the installer will not progress beyond 0% or takes far too long to do so. When this happens if I close the installer and retry I get an error along the lines of "you already have this installation open". If I find that process in task manager and close it I can try again, but the same problem will occur.This does not happen with every program, my guess is it happens to perhaps 10% of programs. There seems to be no link between the installations that it hangs on. I do not have a list of applications that the error occurs on currently although I can see how that would be useful. It does not matter if I am installing to my SSD or HDD, the error has occured on both.

What is happening: Periodic (typically once a night, different programs, different times) restarts. Event viewer says it is "Log: System / Source: Kernel-Power Event ID: 41. I am inexperienced at reading Minidumps, but one dump suggests "wininit.exe" and another "crss.exe", not a lot of help there. It has not always been doing this, but unfortunately started when I installed a whole slew of software (Adobe Production Premium, a Cintiq tablet, etc) so it's hard to pin that down.
What kind of machine:
Windows 7, fully updated
CP850 psu, p8p67 pro mobo (36c), i7 2600k chip (37c) at stock speed while I'm figuring this out.
4x G.Skill Ripjaw RAM, statistics in CPU-Z and RAMMon included. Passes memtest86.
EVGA GTX 570 card (1), drivers updated
Vertex2 SSD (OS, main programs)
WD Caviar HDD (files)
4x 180mm fans, CM212+ HSF, single optical drive
Steps tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling major programs, updating drivers
Checking minidumps for obvious file issues
Virus scan, defrag, basic upkeep stuff
Memtest for RAM
Checking temperatures and voltages in CPUZ/Asus AI - defaulting / setting to auto the configurations in BIOS

I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

Lately,when I play games i can see that bug.My screen shuts off and computer freezes(I can`t use keyboard(caps lock/ctrl+alt+delete..)or mouse)I heard the last game sound or something like that When this arrives,i can`t restart my computer,i have to press the power button.This problem appeared with the purchase of a computer,from the first day.Event viewer got only this:The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Quote: - System

So I just got this new Asus n53sn-xr2 laptop using windows 7, and already I'm having some problems with it. Basically what happens is it will freeze seemingly at random times (at first I thought it was firefox, but I just got it again using google chrome... I'm not sure if its related to browsing the internet or not) and the computer will, after a short period of time, become completely unresponsive. I can't even load task manager so the only way to turn of the computer is with the power button. One of the times my computer freezed I got a BSOD and it said "driver power state failure". I took a picture of it and I can provide the other information too if you need me too. I can return this computer by monday if it sounds like a hardware issue but if its not then I would much rather fix it because I've already put so much time into transferring all my files

So my computer randomly freezes up and when I boot up there are no log entries of the event. There are however always 3 log entries but I don't believe they are related to the actual problem. The 3 that are always there are: 6008, 7026 and 41. Now when I say it freezes I mean it literally freezes up. I do not get any blue screen or black screen or any errors it literally freezes as if I took a screenshot of my desktop and was looking at it. I can not use my mouse or keyboard I can not hear anyone in a skype call or anything it is FROZEN. The only way I am able to reboot it is by holding the power button which thus gives me the error code 41 above.

I am currently using Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit edition and just recently whenever I am downloading anything my computer will freeze for around 2 seconds and the download connection will restart to 0.00mb/s then start to connect back up to its full speed again. This happens I'd say around every 15 minutes and has started to become very annoying as you can imagine as a large file can take hours to download when it should only take half the time.

I also have the "Cat Meow" problem on my computer AND it is NOT a screwed up cooling fan. It's interesting that when there is no answer people resort to a little humor. The sound(s) (including a lions roar), randomly occur. They are short and sweet, not really that annoying but curiosity persists as to their origination.

The computer is only about a year and a half old. Has always worked great and now I get random BSODs. Even after restoring it to factory systems three times, I still get random BSODs. And I can never recreate how it happens. Sometimes it won't happen for a whole day, sometimes it will happen every other minute. Downloaded BlueScreen viewer and it gives me a bunch of information. Will upload that.

Some months ago, I buyed a new computer :
- intel Q9550 quad
- DP45sg motherboard (which use IDT HD audio drivers)
- 4 gig corsair ram
- ATI HD4890
audio and video drivers are updated to lastest version.I had no problem with XP, but when I installed Windows 7 (64bits), I started to get a wierd bug.At random times, the computer seems to freeze for about a second then get back to normal. Everything freezes, mouse, graphic and if there's sound playing, it seems like it's repeating the same sound at incredible speed until the lag ends. Here's a mp3 to show you what kind of sound the lag makes :Lag sound I really don't have a clue what it can be. I've tried multiple things. I've updated audio and video drivers. I've search around forums to find similar problems. Couldn't find anything.
