Programs Are Crashing
Jan 29, 2013
I have been having issues with computer such as programs crashing occasional bsod, 3-4 months ago had problems with windows sayin it wasn't genuine(it is, I bought it with computer) now for a while it wont run windows update(I checked on microsoft website and tried a few thing, Nothing works. Also windows defender won't update. So I backed up all my files to external hd, popped in win 7 cd tried to start fresh and it gives me bsod every time. Now I am wondering if its a hardware issue. I tried changing settings on bios to default and then back.

Every time I start up normally into Win7 everything is fine for a couple of minutes. I'll open a few programs, then after a few minutes of them running they'll hang and enter the 'not responding' mode. (firefox, steam, IE). If I don't already have task manager running the system will basically be unresponsive and the only thing I can do is reboot manually. If I have task manager running I can sometimes end a process or two but some will remain open & unresponsive. Any programs that are working (including task manager) disappear when I minimize them and no programs appear on the task bar, (though they can be retrieved with alt+tab).
McAfee also has 'real time scanning' permanently disabled.
This is all very strange as there was nothing wrong four days ago when I was away, and the symptoms occured within 2-3 minutes of booting up this evening. The system runs in safe mode.

i dont know why but programs are always crashing on my desktop. it's really frustrating. games will also freeze or crash on me abruptly as well. is there a way to know what's failing? graphics or ram or something else? i've built and everything is working great but i think when i switched from 1 monitor to a 3-monitor setup i've been having more problems. i'm not 100% sure but that's all i can think of. a hardware diagnostics test of some sort would help give me an objective answer though.my desktop is a z68 mobo, i5-2500k stock, 8gb ram, and a gtx460 (768mb). i'm connected to 3 displays. the first is 1920x1080 and connected to the gtx460's microhdmi. the 2nd is 1920x1200 connected to the gtx460's dvi. the 3rd is connected to the onboard hd3000 dvi port. there's no visual lag or stutter when moving windows or anything. i can play 3 concurrent 1080p Internet videos on all 3 monitors without any lag. but when i'm gaming on high settings such as borderlands 2, it will just crash on me. it's not consistent enough to know what's causing it but my habits are to game on the 2nd monitor with windows media center playing live cable tv on the 3rd monitor and browsing and chatting on the 1st monitor.
is it crashing because i'm doing too many things that my graphics card can't handle? if so, why is it crashing instead of stuttering?
i also have a problem where if i'm gaming and then press alt+tab to minimize or switch windows, the graphics card will get messed up or downclock or something and the game's fps will drop drastically to like 5-10 fps until i reboot the computer.i also get the bsod sometimes where it says something about physical memory dump.

I've restarted it multiple times. I have an HP Windows & Home Premium. I've also done a system restore. About 20 mins after turning it on, some the programs I'm running will either slow way down, close, or freeze. When I check for problems I get this:
Windows
Problem: Shut down unexpectedly
Files that help describe the problem:

For the past few months now my computer has been running very slowly, with programs constantly crashing and at least 3 times a day I get a BSOD, sometimes more.The blue screens always either read Memory_Management or Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area,and bluescreenview says that ntoskrnl.exe is the culprit.I have no idea how to read these logs andBesides the BSODS, the computer just isn't performing as well as it should.Applications always stop working, pages in chrome randomly crash and where I used to be able to get 60+ FPS in games, I now barely manage 40-50. For some reason I am also unable to complete a windows update.

So I recently purchased a new ASUS laptop, and everything has been fine except for windows 7. In particular, 32 bit programs will inexplicably crash at random times, and when they do, they often all crash at the same time. For example, Steam, windows media player, uTorrent, and Firefox all crashed at the exact same time a few days ago, and several other simultaneous crashes have happened since. IE8, which has to run in 32bit mode for college related applications, crashes frequently as well, and has nearly compromised my work on several occasions.
I've tried recreating it, but I can't. The only thing they have in common is that they are all 32 bit programs, even things widows photo gallery(which is 32bit) crash randomly.

My computer crashes when I go to join my server in Minecraft and when I run Windows Experience Index. Except, only when i have Skype or Utorrent open. Now the reason I'm posting this in the Windows 7 forum is because this didn't happen with windows 8. Which is making me think strongly that this is software related.In event viewer it was giving me "critical error 41 kernel power'

I have an Inspiron N4010, and one night, it worked perfectly, and the next morning it wouldn't start. So I had to restore my PC to the factory image. Now, many programs on my computer crash only minutes, or even seconds, after executing them. I do not understand why. I have not deleted any files, I have not messed with anything, and I have kept my PC up to date, as well as protected. There is no reason for why my computer runs the way it does.

No matter how many times I launch Skype or iTunes, they just won't get added to the Start Menu's Recent Programs list.

So over the past few days it seems that I have lost control of my C drive and all of its contents.I can no longer properly access it, and everything opens in "Read-Only". I can no longer install programs or modify existing programs.According to the security permissions, I have none. Nor can I change my permissions because in order to change them I need access to the C drive, which I don't have.I have tried creating other users and putting them in the admin group, etc. but nothing is working.

I downloaded Adobe Shockwave Player which is needed to view a file (.swf), and it appears in the control panel as an installed program. However, it does not appear as a default program when I am trying to use the "associate a file type or protocal with a specific program" even when I press the browse list. The program also does not appear when I "right click" the file itself and use the open command. The program also does not appear in the list of programs on the "All Progams: list when clicking the windows icon. So, can someone tell me how to get programs onto the default list....(Please, I have seen a number of threads that talk about how to "set" the default program which I am well aware of...I need to know how to get a program to be recognized and incoroporated as part of the list).

Recently my computer has been crashing an awful lot. I am just doing a task and, usually if it does, it will cut to black. The computer doesn't make any noise and I have to restart it. Sometimes it will freeze on the screen, once it actually cut to a completely white screen.I always thought this was because I was using Google Chrome, it always seemed to be whilst that was loaded. However now its happening without that. Also, Firefox has become completely disabled, I click on the icon and nothing happens.So, I have no idea why this is happening! It's very worrying as I am starting a new year at college next week. I have run several anti-virus checks, SpyBot checks, that sort of thing.

I dual booted windows 7 on me nc10, worked fine, occasional hiccup but nothing i cant really moan about saying its not been released yet. So i thought id put it on my desktop, which, is much more powerful, just to see what certain areas (where on a netbook it goes slow) are like, but what continuously happens, is it freezes, no warning, for those of you familiar with the band Muse, i played stockholm syndrome, to see how long it would last, and it lasts about 3 minutes,

I'm playing,Then my screen Goes blank, I Hear my Fan go Full speed, Then My computer reboots, But It's stuck at "Starting Windows". I decide that a system restore is my only option, So I go with that Right, So my Brand-Spanking New Copy Of Halo 2 Arrives. Boy am I excited, I suspect that after MS Shut down Original XBL, The PC Community will recive a much needed Boost. I don't activate my copy yet, I just want to play some campaign First. I load up the armory, And just as you get out of the tram-thing with johnson, I hear Lots of Sound Glitches, And the same thing as before. It does it a few more times. Then I played some DiRT 2 about 20 minute's ago, It it does the same thing.Now, I suspect It's only Games For Windows LIVE (GFWL) Games doing it, But then I remember that CoD4 did it. Now I'm afraid that if I play anymore games, And do this too much, That I will Seriously Screw My computer.

In a brave attempt to put together my new computer, my new machine keeps constantly freezing up. The event mostly occurs when i open a webpage that might have embedded video. When the machine freezes up, I need to do a hard boot. I have tried running the Asus diagnostic tools, but no real results. I have even tried the various memory tests, however no resolve. One other step that I have taken was also to replace my grahics card from a AMD Sapphire to a NVDIA GeForce GTX 690.
