Fresh Windows 7 SP1 Install Randomly Freezing / No Error Msg
Dec 2, 2011
This week I built a new PC from scratch (done this a few times before so no newbie at it) and installed Win 7 Pro SP1 full retail version. Everything was working fine but randomly - 3 or 4 times a day - the system froze. No real pattern to it, perhaps happening slightly more when launching an app but hard to tell, and no error message, just complete freeze requiring forced reboot. Not a mouse/keyboard issue as I tried swapping them, plus screen progress bars etc freeze as well. Left for 5-10 mins, no change.Memtest and Prime95 return no errors. System Health Report all fine. To check for driver problems I formatted the HDD and started again - installed Win 7 Pro SP1 from scratch, didn't do any online updating, didn't install any drivers for GPU/soundcard etc, just kept a really minimal setup. But it happened again!Nothing showing up in event log that I can see. Most recent item before freezing this time was "The Windows Update Service entered the running state".
I built my pc about a year ago. I had no problems with it up until like a week ago when I started to get random bsod there mostly do to with ntoskrnl.exe., not that good with these types of issues. I actually reinstalled windows by doing a fresh install but I installed many of the same programs again so i don't know what is causing the issue.
Just put together a brand new computer, Windows installed fine (running x64 bit Ultimate),everything loaded up fine the first time. Then I installed the driver and utility for my network card, and everything seemed fine til I got an internet connection, at which point it froze, and the only fix is a restart. Now every time it boots it freezes, sometimes within 10 seconds of starting, sometimes it doesn't make it past the "Welcome" screen and it'll just freeze. Haven't gotten to use my new machine for more than 20 seconds at a time, extremely annoying. In safe mode there doesn't seem to be a problem, I've had it on for more than 20 mins and it's been fine. Does anyone know where I can start looking to fix this? I've been struggling with this thing for 3 days and I'm running out of ideas.

My computer has been running fine for about a year, I have reinstalled windows 3 or 4 times and I haven't had any major problems. During this last re-installation I formatted my hard drive to get all my space back, I'm not sure why but since I formatted my hard drive windows randomly freezes and It isn't during any specific program so I don't know what could be causing it.

I have a brand new HD and an old HD. Both HDs are found and USB flash win 7 drive boots up windows files then returns winload.exe error. I have tried all kinds of options on here looking through the forum but no definitive answer. There are no problems with HD or memory from what I can see from tests. I have hirens boot cd and have tried a lot of options
I've recently built a new gaming computer and starting from fresh install with windows 7, I've got tons of "dumping physical memory" blue screens of death. I've tried updating all the drivers, I let windows 7 do all of the automatic updates, scan my pc with avg tuneup pro for errors, etc. None of these have worked it from crashing either while multitasking, playing battlefield 3, or the computer just sitting there.
ive got a Problem installing build 7100 on my pc. if i boot from dvd, iam going well until the wallpaper and the mouse appears. after 5mins of waiting here iam getting a BSOD with an 0x0000007F Error Code.
If i try to install b7100 into a VM (with the DVD) it works!
And if i try to install/update the pc via the booted windows 2008, it also works!
Only if i boot from the dvd and try to install, it failse.
Iam allready tryed various options (remove USB,remove NIC, burn again(slow), vertify md5/sha1,removed raid) but always the same story.
I got all the motherboard drivers and the video drivers installed then when i installed the drivers for my wireless network card and restarted and it froze on the starting windows screen.
I've been trying everything i can think of to fix this. I pulled the extra memory out, switched the power supply with one from another rig, switched the hard drive out for another one that i had.
after that, since it was a fresh build and nothing was saved on it i tried to reformat the hard drive and re-install windows, but the install disc also freezes on the starting windows screen.
so now i can't get it boot normally, in safe mode, from the disc or from another hard drive. when i try and boot in safe mode it stops at ClassPNP.sys
Windows keeps randomly freezing, forcing a hard reboot and occasionally I get a BSOD too.
I think it might have something to do with the external devices i have connected to my laptop: an external monitor, and an external keyboard with trackpad and an external mouse. Both the keyboard and mouse are wireless and share the same single usb receiver dongle (logitech unifying receiver)
I think it might be the driver for the usb receiver dongle that's causing the problems based on the dump file i've pasted below. Anyone have any suggestions for remedying this short of getting rid of the mouse and keyboard? Both have the latest drivers.

My computer screen is freezing once a day or so without any BSODs whatsoever. The funny thing is that everything else is running in the background, including the system clock, music from WMP, and even a video game CD I popped in when it was frozen, which launched like normal, but was unable to do anything because the mouse and keyboard were unresponsive.When it freezes, I hit the power button once and it shuts down like normal too. Even when I put the computer to sleep during the freeze, it wakes up normally and it works just fine again!All my drivers are up to date, so what can the problem be? I also tested the hardware with Dell Support Center tools and everything checks out fine.
Remember, everything else is running in the background just as it should, including the clock which still keeps time correctly. The screen looks fine too with everything being displayed clearly and crisply, with no artifacts or lines or anything.I was also working on a paper for class when it froze, and the funny thing is that when I hit the power button to shut my pc down, it was prevented from doing so because MS Word itself was asking me if I wanted to save the document, which means other processes were running, but I couldn't save because the mouse and keyboard were frozen, so I had to hold the power button until it shut off. Luckily I didn't lose much progress at all because I saved it just a few minutes before.his is a really perplexing situation.
recently my laptop has been crashing and i don't know why? i have done a full virus scan using three different anti-viruses and two malware scans they came back clear. i also did one in safe mode and it was clear. i have done a disk defrag and a disk clean up.
I can't find this driver 802.11n/b/g wireless LAN usb2.0 adapter driver along with the other drivers for a Concetronic 54mbps usb adapter that I can actually download for Windows 7. They either no longer download for one reason or another or are a mini etc.
I've got a fairly new computer only a few months old with no issues so far but all of a sudden I'm getting random lock ups where my screen just freezes and I can't do anything. I normally have to reboot a few times for it to work again, sometimes it will continually freeze at the startup screen. I can reboot into safe mode with no worries.I've noticed this common suspect looking through event viewer when this happens;[CODE]
I have a 3 years old ASUS F50VL laptop and it has stared to freeze randomly, like everything just stops. Sometimes when I let it hang on freeze for about an 20 seconds, the screen goes wierd, like graphics card is gone or something... I've noticed that the HDD LED stops blinking aswell... maybe the HDD could be the problem?
As of late, one of my computers (Windows 7, 64-bit) has been randomly freezing up. When this happens, I hear a crackle from my speakers, and my USB mouse and keyboard get disconnected (their lights get turned off, so I'm assuming that's the case), and the screen just freezes so it isn't just the mouse/keyboard getting disconnected. This happens on different times - two shortly after startup, one while on a page that uses Flash (I use Chrome, if that's helpful), and one while using a format converter.Going through the event logs, the only event that seems to be related to this is one saying that the computer had been improperly turned off at the time this happened. No other errors that could've caused this could be found. I have a suspicion that it may be an issue with the GPU, since I recently saw a notification saying that my video card's driver recovered from an error, and Photoshop has been crashing as of late due to GPU-related problems.
The machine is an HP P6502UK. He has run the following without success.
Seatools both short and long tests - passed
Memtest86+ ran for 12 hours - no issues
Kaspersky recovery disc 10 - no issues
WD hard drive tools - passed
Malwarebytes - no malware
Clean software and hardware boot Ccleaner Microsoft security essentials - initially nothing, on second scan trojan win32 giframe a, now removed Page file is managed by the system.
When I boot up my pc, randomly 15-30minutes after logging on, all of the programs running will freeze with "Not Responding" on their title bar for a few minutes. After a few minutes the programs will unfreeze, and more problems arise. These problems include, some of the open programs working, some partially working , and some not working at all. When I try to to ctrl alt delete to close the frozen programs, an error message will pop-up Cannot find explorer.exe. Also when I open the start menu it is completely blank, doesn't show anything. Also, some of my desktop icons disappear, while some others stay. In general, the computer gets really buggy, and I cant do much.I have been having these issues for roughly a week. I formatted on Mon, Aug 27, and the issues still arise since the format, so it appears the issues is more likely hardware related.Since I formatted, I have chkdisk /f /r, and sfc /scannow, but the issues still arise.About a week ago I was trying to clean my case, get rid of dust, etc, but before I did it, my case fell roughly 6 inches to the ground, thinking this issue could be hardware, most likely a bad HDD related.
I've recently begun to have a problem about my USB mouse and my new mobo.
I've bought an MSI 990XA-GD55 3 weeks ago. I've formatted my hdd, installed a clean x64 ultimate, installed newest drivers and updated the bios. However, there began some problems at startup about my mouse. Randomly, lets say, in every 7-8 Boots, my computer doesnt recognise my mouse, saying that "device could not be installed" or something like that, you know, the default "usb device error".. And i must either re-plug it, or restart the computer..
I've changed the ports, re-done everyting, but no chance..It happens randomly, just before "Welcome" screen appears, the light of the mouse fades away, and after Welcome screen, cursor does not move..
Thinking that it would be a mo'bo issue, i've changed it with a better model MSI 990FXA-GD65. Another format, another install of the newest things, bios update..However, *** happens again!
I've got a A4 X7 XL-750BK mouse, which is kinda new and doesnt have (and had) any problem except this one. Some say, that i should change it; but i'm really confused about it, because it runs just fine and smooth..
My other system elements are X3 720 B.E, 2x4Gb Geil Enhance Corsa 1600Mhz, Sapphire Radeon 5870 V2, 1TB Samsung HDD, etc..
OH, almost forgot the add..I've also got a USB Powered Sound Card, a Line 6 UX2, and it just works flawlessly, never had such "functional" problems..
Bought new laptop 4 month ago and this problem have been all the time.When I bought then it was freezing when I was surfing with Internet explorer and its just freezed (Is not working).But now is just freezing/shuting down.Few times have been blue death screen aswell.

I've finally decided to make my own thread about this rather than keep looking for solutions in other people's threads. My laptop has been freezing up very randomly since Christmas break, and I've run just about the gamut of ways to fix it. It do not believe it is an application problem because its happening in safe mode even.
What happens is I can be doing nearly anything and the screen will flicker a little bit, a little flashing, and as soon as this starts, everything is frozen, even caps lock is unresponsive. It can happen while surfing the web, while playing games, during start up, just after start up, you name it. I think we can eliminate it being the video card because with the driver uninstall, the problem still happens.
It also doesn't seem to be a problem with CPU because the usage seems to be low when this happens. EDIT: It's definitely not the CPU: I was just observing it while it happened and it was at a measly 4% usage while I was just sitting doing nothing.
Event viewer is of little help, I tried to uninstall several applications that had been running concurrently with the shut downs, to no avail.
I'll attach my dxdiag
The computer is an ASUS brand G60vx series notebook. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I think it will also help to mention that this computer is nearing its 2nd birthday, and I'm highly suspect of the age being a factor. I forgot to mention, also what happens is that the sound playing will become warped and degenerate into a buzzing crackling type noise (can't really describe it beyond that). This leads me to believe its the sound card, but I only have one thing showing up in my device manager the High Definition Audio Device.
I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 64bit, from XP 32bit, and since then have been experiancing completely random freezes, like, computer freezes completely, the last half a second of any sound playing repeats, and the PC requires reset, also, I've noticed sometimes when listening to music, the music will pause for only a second, then continue, which is strange. Now these freezes, and hangs, are completely random, I've had it happen 5 minutes after start up, and sometimes it wont happen for 3-4 days. I installed brand new ram along with the upgrade G-Skill F2-6400CL5-2GBNT DDR2 (2Gx2) in the correct DIMM slots Yellow and Yellow. Ran Memtest86+ for 10 hours, no problems and cleared CMOS.

Dual Boot with Ubuntu Linux, using Grub2 as bootloader. Here's what I've tried:
-I've tried wiping and reinstalling- several times(With 2 separate known working discs). -Updating Windows completely. -Using the driver disc that came with the laptop. -Using the latest drivers downloaded from Asus support. -Flashing the bios with the latest version off Asus support website. -Disabled all power saver management -Wiped entire drive and recreated all partitions -Ran Memtest86+ tests, no errors detected -Running just bare minimum Windows stock software -Ran with no peripherals plugged in at all. -Uninstalled installed drivers, one by one -Installed Windows XP SP3 32 bit with "hacked" drivers for my model and while it was slower, it never froze randomly for no reason. -Thats all I can recall at the moment.
As a note: Linux does not freeze, nor do I have any issues with it at all. Laptop is on a cooling pad as well. Booting into Safe mode: works indefinitely without freezing. I also just realized I do not think I have run Windows without drivers installed, to test that- though they were working prior, but then again so was the OS in general.
My computer keeps randomly freezing up, I know when it happens because my mouse starts to skip, and then like 30 seconds later, my whole computer freezes?
For a while now my computer has been freezing randomly and I get that "not responding" message on the window but it eventually does strart responding. It can happen at any time whether I'm browsing some site or when I'm not online. So today I did a clean install of Windows 7 today and the same thing is happening with only Win7 on it.
I can't seem to play a certain game without the computer freezing and shutting off on me, but it doesn't end there. After using system restore and trying to run windows update my computer did the same thing again.The symptom that puzzles me the most is the system will refuse to boot into windows for a bit after a shutdown. It will get to the Starting Windows screen and stop loading during the logo formation, ending in a shutdown. This seems to happen regardless of Last Known Good Configuration, Safe Mode, etc. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite a505 laptop. I have run sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f /r, and two memory tests. sfc found nothing, chkdsk found one bad cluster in the free space, and the first memory test made the computer shut down towards the beginning. The second memory test was Windows Memory Diagnostic and that shut down in the 6th area of the first pass. I'm suspecting it's the RAM, but I can't be certain, especially since both sticks boot up the computer just fine by themselves. This started happening about 3 days ago after the laptop fell from my lap on accident. I really hope I don't have to buy a new computer...
after second time it froze, i'm getting angry. it was the second time it crashed in that way within two weeks.i have no idea what it does. i just browse with google chrome 17, and i was writing a comment on Internet. and it froze. i had to hard reset, because nothing worked.in the background i ran: steam, hd sentinel, sizer, gadwin printscreen, wlm, plus! service, team viewer service.after hard resetting, windows didn't show the "system recovered from a serious crash" message, also it started normally.ast time, when my pc froze, i also browsed the internet, and i was listening to music. same kind of crash, mouse didn't work, keyboard didn't work-->hard reset.
My laptop is randomly freezing, It sometimes freezes when it is performing on a high level (like when i play graphic intense games, using photoshop or have multiple programmes open), but lately it has begun freezing randomly, when it is just idle. I sometimes recieve a BSOD, but other times it simly just freezes. I have read on random forums that other laptops from the M60J series have had similar problems, and it may be a heating problem or the BIOS. I have attached a .rar file with my perfmon and system health report. You can check the specifications of my laptop in my System Specs.
For the last month my computer has been freezing randomly e.g. at the login screen or sometimes every 10-15 mins, and it�s becoming very frustrating for me. Today after searching the internet i found out that disabling some of the services might solve the problem. So after an hour of disabling and enabling services i have found out that the power service is causing the problem, however disabling it removes the option of having sound.what the power service is and what can i do to fix it so that i can enable it and have sound.
