I'm having a serious problem for weeks now. Tried almost everything possible without result.
Tested the Motherboard (Asus M2A-VM-HDMI)
Tested Memory (4 GB) with memtest and uninstalling and reinstalling them one by one
Bios update
Unplugged all device such as USB's and video without result
Removed AVG scanner and replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials
Did run an online scanner by Kaspersky, and others
Tried to delete all tasks in Taskmanager one by one
even closing down all tasks which were sometimes important
Running many safe modes
Repair of win 7
Check and repair all Hard disks also blank records
Did check device manager but no comments over there
Did a scan with Malwarebytes and even bought it because of real time security
Did replace Explorer.exe for disk maintenance by FreeCommander
Trying to stop some tasks in Source Controle
But still getting Freezes. I’ve noticed a while ago that when freezing, the hard disks are running 100% (lights of harddisks burning constantly and hearing diskdrives running) but the processor is running for 1% or 2%. There must be a process responsible for it but I can’t get a finger behind it which one.
I’m getting nowhere and need this system every day. So if you could come up with a solution it would be very welcome.
i have random freezes sometimes they are glitchy and rarely bsod all on bootup or up to about half hour in (which also turns of the mouse). also Internet doesn't autoplay playlists and all sugestions next to the video are black. this started a few weeks to a month ago, first it seemed just a minor annoyance but it started to become more often the last few days. i've tried some checks but without success. also i remember the week before those crashes that twice the screen driver crashed for a second or 2 and then a message popped up about how a monitor driver crash was adjusted, always when i played a certain game that is still in beta so i taught it was the game.
My audio was working well, but i decided to start recording find a way to improve my outbound audio quality (i'm an audiophile). I purchased a Fast Track Pro. Unlike other threads I've read, I'm not seeing any BSOD and its not crackling. My operating system will just stop functioning, or freeze for a half a second at a time. This can become frequent at about 10 times in a thirty second period requiring a restart. I had installed the latest x64 driver for my W7 x64 system from M-audio's website.
I uninstalled the driver and restarted, the issue persisted. I then installed the on-board audio driver and restarted, no system lag is present. The audio device-driver is acting up and I'm not sure why. Because i bought it used M-audio's support is a no-go. Are there any additional steps I can take which may troubleshoot this issue?
I am experiencing freezes constantly in Win 7 64bit. I eliminated some install freezes by not using my wireless mouse and keyboard on install and installing later. The install still freezes when it tries to update the ATI driver. I also have problems with freezes with
X-fi (probably drivers), ASUS mobo drivers and apps, and installation of many other common apps. The system invariably freezes on the first boot, but may work for a while after resetting. I will experiment by installing XP Pro 32bit to determine the hardware stability and will post my results on this thread later.
Intermittent issue. Brand new Dell Laptop with preinstalled W7 x64. Initially having issues with video playback not working, freezing IE. A system restore seems to have resolved that, but am still having issues where randomly visiting a basic webpage, IE freezes.
Really annoying when it happens, but it is intermittent. Once a weekish, a reboot seems to resolve it. Thought it was an issue coming back from Sleep mode but it happened today on a fresh startup. Here is the error message in the event viewer which has it listed as an Application Hangup:
The program iexplore.exe version 8.0.7600.16385 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Since I'd rather talk with my 4 month old son than Dell tech support from my initial contact with their web support, I was hoping someone here might know of this issue or have any ideas.
This is what they came up with after so many years? this is what Microsoft came up with and claimed it is been tested even with Steve ballmer's son? This is the best they can do? I have been on my laptop for 2 hours and had to reset 6 times.
And it seems to get worse day after day. the second day i installed it it only froze 1 time for being on it for over 6 hours. Microsoft may as well give up software staffs and may be focusing on making mouse pad and keyboard before the name "Microsoft" gets tarnished forever.
It seems to work great on safe mode.. but when I boot it up normally, it works great for the first 4 minutes and then after that it just completely freezes, no mouse movement or anything. Things Ive tried: Virus scan - clean chkdsk c: /f - didint help solve problem Closed some start up programs - didnt work either
It all started yesterday, while I was browsing the net my computer suddenly froze and got a bluescreen. When it rebooted everything looked fine during startup except that it froze after a few minutes again. During the freeze I can move the mouse, but I can't open any programs, and any programs that already are open stop working. Can't ctrl+alt+delete or do anything else than reboot the computer by pressing the start-button.
I didn't visit any websites that I haven't visited frequently these past weeks so I don't think I've gotten anything from them. When I start in safe-mode the same thing happens after a few minutes, cant start any new programs, and any programs that already are active stop working.
I installed windows 7 on a brand new HDD,i updated all the drivers of chipset etc,the computer runs fine,but the only problem is that when i try to make it restart the screen goes black, the keyboard and mouse also,but the fan and the pc keeps running, i tried to set the bios to default but nothing,so i tried to restart it from the safe mode,from the same mode it loggs off ok but when the shutting down screen comes it freezes there,so i am guessing its the same thing happening to the normal restart. I tried uninstalling all the newly added programs but still the same thing,i tried resseting the ram but still the same
Whenever I try to log into Windows once I type the password and click it just remains at the Welcome freeze and never logs in. I am currently in Safe Mode and it seems like everything works fine .If I log out and try again to log in Windows I either get stuck in the welcome screen . I have left this over a hour and yet no luck.I have to manually shut down the computer. 2 days ago I had my iPad(first gen) plugged in to synch with iTunes. This is what I have been doing for a long time however yesterday despite me not pluggin out the ipad I got some kind of USB error and then an iTunes error. I unplugged my iPad and tried pluggin it again however both the iPad and iTunes did not recognize it. I continued to use my computer and it seemed to work fine till I shut it down last night. Now I am unable to log back in.[CODE]
im having some problems installing windows 7. i had vista home premium but it started going very slow so i decided to install win 7 ultimate as i use it at work and its alot nicer tbh. I reformatted my partition and started the install tis gets to 10% usally can get up to 16% and then it gives an error file missing or currupt, when i restart the computer i get the "BOOT MNGR" is missing error i thought maybe a hardware issue as it was under warranty Toshiba had a look hardware is 100% fine no errors found. so now im stuck with this error and no way round it. i have read lots of similar problems but none come up with any decent ways to fix it, most have managed to install it and then get the boot error but mine has not even installed so i cant repair the OS ect.
I have also tried putting Vista back on but it just doesnt load up just a black screen, i tried XP but i think the laptop is to powerfull as it just bluescreens everytime i even tried removing some ram as xp only run upto so much but to no avail. atm im trying with a new partition + the 100mb system one but has frozen
ever since I got my new Asus A52J notebook about 3 months ago, it occasionally freezes for everything between 30 seconds and 5 minutes, mostly around 1 or 2minutes. After this happens I find an event with the Event ID 9 in the Event Viewer(The device, DeviceIdeiaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.). So far this mostly happened when I'm watching a movie(online as well as offline) or playing a game and then mostly in the beginning 1-3 times and after this it was fine for the rest. SO, now I installed Firefox 4 and if I'm running it, I get 10 of these freezes in 30 minutes. Anyway, I downgraded to Firefox 3.6, I found some information about this on some other pages already(The device, DeviceIdeiaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period Solutions Log , Derek Seaman's Blog: Windows 7 Intel SATA/AHCI Lockups and Intel SATA Event ID 9), but nothing helped. By the way, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, the version that was installed on the computer. I attached the reports you ask for in the BSOD posting instructions, even though I'm not having BSOD issues at the moment, might still be some useful information in it.
I'm have played Pure on Xp and everything was running fine, till i got Windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded Pure and when I start to race it freezes and don't respond.
sometimes (still, quite often actually) windows explorer freezes and cannot display information such as drives and partitions; have to stop windows explorer and restart it and then it works. Cannot see any pattern for this to happen.
When i put my cd/dvd in computer, computer freeze and i need to restart. Now i don't know if this is because of windows 7 or it's something wrong with computer.
My acer aspire one AOA150 with windows 7 ultimate SP1 decides to completly freeze each night at 00:00 GMT and i can not do anything (except turn off by taking power out or pressing power button till it kills itself)
i cant bring up task manager the keyboard doesnt work im guessing that explorer.exe dies (if its the same as in win XP) is there anyway to fix this without a fresh install?
About a month ago my PC was freezes on bootup. When I eventually got into Windows, the PC would often freeze again resulting in several bootups and system startup repairs etc. I ran several free and paid-for hardware diagnostic applications which all gave the results that no hardware had issues. I updated all the drivers so again eliminating any issues here.
my pc right now (2-3 years old) is slow as hell and freezes every few minutes for 1-5 minutes. i just did a clean install 2 weeks ago and it is still like that. i have a 465gb hard drive and 230gb of it is currently free (i am making videos with my friends and we have a gaming channel on Internet what is doing pretty well right now so 150gb is taken away by videos. i delete them right after making them so most of the time the hard drive has 380+ gb free)
also if this matters than i should currently be dual booting my win 7 with ubuntu but 1 day the ubuntu folder from my local disc was deleted (i have no idea how, 1 day it was just gone) and since then it doesnt let me choose to go into ubuntu. is it completely deleted or some parts still remain and is there a way to uninstall/delete those parts.
this is all the information about my computer (i think) i took that from speccy so probably there is alot of information that is useless for you but still.

have a big issue with Windows 7. It freezes all the time, multiple times every single day since i've installed.
I'm running x64 Build 7600 with a plenty good enough computer.
It seems to freeze at the most random times for small things, mostly when browsing the internet, doesn't matter which browser i'm using it will freeze randomly while loading a page. Sometimes it will freeze while opening a folder, or picture. And my screen will not wake up after sitting for about a hour or so.
I have the latest motherboard and video card drivers, i put the newest firmware on my Intel SSD, i've updated my Bios, Reinstalled 7 many times.
Also i've pulled the Cmos battery and completely reset my bios, thought that could of helped, but did nothing. Is 7 not working well with my SSD or what?
I installed a new motherboard, ram and graphics card yesterday. Installed all the drivers and everything was working fine. Got up today turned pc on freezes just after I enter my login password (i had not touched with the PC in between). I run it in safe mode, runs for 2-5 minutes then freezes. I flashed the CMOS to see if resetting the bios would work, it works to let me log in and then 2 mins later freezes just the same. Hard restart after this then turn the PC back on freezes at the login screen again. It has on occasion frozen before the login screen, ie when it shows the motherboard company logo.
I have a Dell Studio XPS laptop with 4 gig of ram,128 SSD and an Nvidia SLi setup.
The one thing I have noticed is that when I do a clean install there are no crashed but it is only after about 50 hours of use that the random freezes start to happen. I have tried to see any correlation to when they happen but I can't spot anything. I have run windows 7 very happily on other machines so I am thinking it must be related to the drivers provided by dell (for vista).
I have checked event logs but there is nothing there, just blank from the second the machine hangs.
All bios functions still work like screen brightness, but caps lock and things like that are frozen.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or has any ideas?
I've just downloaded and installed Windows 7 7068 (32-bit) on my main PC and I've been having a pretty major issue. I start up and after a few minutes the computer will just freeze. I can leave it at the desktop for 10 minutes or play a game for 5 minutes, whatever I do, after a random period of time it'll just stop.
The download/cd is fine as I've got it on my laptop running fine...
There are no viruses as I've checked everything with different computers and scanners...
I've downloaded as many drivers as I can find that are for Windows 7, the ones that weren't I got Windows Vista drivers...
Oh, to elaborate, I've searched and nothing here helps, I can install fresh with all defaults and it'll freeze... I can install fresh with new drivers, it'll freeze... I can install fresh and load up games and applications, it'll freeze. In addition, safe mode freezes! And all other operating systems work, I haven't had any problems with previous builds of Windows 7 and Vista/XP still works fine, there's just something about 7068...
I recently installed Windows 7 RC to my laptop and am facing a problem now. Sometimes when I plug in an USB Hard-drive or a ZEN MP3 player, the system does a full lock-up.
I had 7 Beta on the laptop earlier and it had no problems whatsoever. Anyone else experienced/solved similar problems or should I just go try and reinstall?
I have a trouble installing windows7. I think the problem is that my motherboard and a new SSD(intel 320), that I've just bought,have a conflict. I have Asus Striker which is based on nvidia 680i chipset. It's not supported ahci. So, every time it stops at 81%.
I think its the CPU or the RAM, My CPU is i5 3470, and RAM is Kingston 1600Mhz 4x2GB the bios set my ram to 1333 for some reason when Installed the win, I set it back to 1600 manually. and it freezes after a few hours repeatedly. here are my CPU-Z screenshots of CPU,Memory and SPD tabs, tell me if something's wrong.
This is an msdn version of windows 7 if this matters.
I tried to clean install windows 7 x64 on a computer which before had Vista x86. I the first time though the install went and froze on extracting files. I looked on the internet and saw to remove anything that wasn't necessary so I left only the mouse, keyboard, and vga cable. That time the installer froze after it attempted to create a new partition to install on. I tried a few times over and even tried plugging stuff back in and it would always freeze there.
I tried installing in safe mode and that worked fine but it would freeze on completing installation after it rebooted. You aren't allowed to run that step in safe mode. I though the cause is most likely faulty hardware/drivers since safemode fixed the earlier freezing. I attempted to install only using the integrated graphics with 1 stick of ram to no avail. Just for the heck of it I tried x86 which did not work and installing off a usb with the dvd drive detached and nothing has shown any change.
I eventually gave up and for now I only have Vista x86 on the machine for now but getting a working install of x64 7 would be nice.
since I changed from Win XP to Win 7 I encounter freezing during playback of DVD's. I tested several DVD's and the problem occurs with both WMP and PowerDVD 6 as well as PowerDVD 9. The only difference between PowerDVD 6 and WMP is that the former freezes every 5 minutes for approximately 5 seconds whereas WMP freezes every 2 to 3 minutes for 10 minutes. So, the latter is useless at all.
My graphics card driver is up to date. I deactivated hardware acceleration in PowerDVD. I would be grateful for further suggestions as I would like to keep Win 7.
I am facing this strange issue with my PC. Recently my PC just freezes for a moment and then it comes back to life. This happens when I am watching any video, playing a game. It never happened while I am online surfing (yet).
I did a fresh install of Win 7. Checked for virus, spyware and all other stuff.
