Programs Freeze
Jan 25, 2010
I have a problem with my computer. It started when i play world of warcraft. Sometimes the game would freeze but i can still see the mouse cursor move around it would stay like that for about less then a minute and then continue like normal. It would happen a few times when i played.
Now its starting to do it when im not playing the game it happens if im browsing the Internet or messing around wint a media player or with anything i have installed on my computer. it just stops and says that its not responding for about a minute and then its working again. i don't know what it could be.

I'm having a problem on my computer where freezing happens not buffering. I have windows 7, 64 bit, it's about one year old with a good graphics card, eight GB's of memory and a solid state hard drive. Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-2600 CPU 3.40 GHz.When trying to watch a movie a clip or a game it will play but I need to move the mouse or click it. Flash games are almost unplayable on Firefox and IE. On demanding games that I have bought there is never a problem. I'm told at the web sites to update Adobe flash player and Shockwave which I have, but that didn't do anything.Techs that I have talked to say go to restore point but it doesn't go back anywhere close to the date when the problem started. Or reinstall windows but that seems to be their answer for everything

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.

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 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).

i've had this pc for a year almost now and it just started to freeze at random moments for like 10 seconds, but after that it return to normal. it can really be annoying while watching Internet or something the sound gets really irritating. the picture stays the same, and after few seconds it just quickly rewinds in few pictures.
pc config
cpu : intel core 2 quad cpu q8300 2.5ghz
mother : asrock p43de3
memory : xms3 (ddr3 2x2gb)
graphic : ati radeon hd 5850
supply : cx600 corsair
if anybody can help i would be grateful.... and yea i think (but im not 100% sure) the longer the pc is up and running the more often it will happen... and it happens while im watching Internet most of the time (or any streams). it doesn't happen while i'm playing any video games or anything like that (maybe it does but it is rare).... and it can happen while im on desktop just copying some files any that.

Obviously I use Windows 7 since i am posting in this category. I am in desperate need of some assistance. My computer lately has been lagging or momentarily freezing when I open a program or window. The most disturbing problem is that my laptop shuts off whenever it feels like it. I had to do a System Restore just to get it to turn on yesterday. Luckily I have come acrossI have a working knowledge of computers, enough to get me by so far, but this is way out f my league. In case the info is important I use AVG for anti-virus and also Windows Advanced Care (recommended by a friend). My computer is used mainly for gaming so I would love to get this fixed ASAP since shutting down mid boss fight is highly irritating.

On many occasions, after I close IE8, seems like iexplorer.exe freezes. I can open Task Manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del but it does not respond to any mouse/cursor action. Therefore I can't "End Process" since the window does not respond. I can see two iexplorer.exe processes still running but I cant terminate them.
The workaround is to "Log Off" and then log back in. I am the only user and have full administration rights.
When I log off, I can see all pending actions blink momentarily before I am logged off. Ex; Start pullup opens, Taskbar right click popup shows up, etc.
Other than that it seems to work fine. Only four (4) add ons on the Browser; IDM, AVG, Adobe and Google.
SpyBot, AVG and Malware Bytes don't find anything wrong.
Any suggestions?

Every time I click on a gray scrollbar and drag to scroll, Windows 7 freezes. I notice this most in explorer (first happened in control panel), and it seemed to be just a problem with any scrollbar in explorer, but then it happened in OpenOffice too.
In Firefox however, there doesn't seem to be a problem. I have just installed Windows 7 RC (32-bit) on my brand new computer, so surely not a virus/malware issue. All drivers up to date.
I'm able to reset or hard shutdown. Cannot Ctrl+Alt+Del.

I have recently installed windows 7100 x64 on my acer 5920G laptop.
t7300, 8600mgt, 2gigs of ram
antivirus: nod32 v4.
The problem is that after a period of time of using my laptop (movies, browsing,...) it just ends responding. (I'm talking about 10-15minutes of use) for example:
Im watching an xvid, the xvid freezes, I say '**** not again'. Then I try to exit the mediaplayer and get to my desktop, try to get to the taskmanager but can't. Then it freezes. The hdd light remains on and stays like this. after this I do a forced shutdown but pushing the button for 7sec.
This same problem also occures when I'm on the net with my mozilla firefox browser, I don't know about the other browsers but I'm guessing that they would have the same issue.
All my devices work fine except for the intel turbo memory (pci memory controller) for wich i can't find a driver... there's another thread about it on this forum but the people don't seem the have the same problem I'm experiencing.

I am on a 640 GB western digital HDD running Windows 7 Professional.
The symptom is that the computer RANDOMLY - no pattern to the freezing whatsoever- freezes. During this time, whatever sound was playing will stutter for a while, the screen will remain frozen with the image that was last on it. Their is no keyboard response, numlock etc... or mouse response.
Upon restarting, the event log has no recollection of what caused the issue. I have checked,many, many times, over the course of 3 weeks now. The only error it contains is the one stating that the computer unexpectedly shut down. Nothing else is pertinent.
I have all the latest drivers, for everything, BIOS updates, etc... as well as windows updates.
On top of that, i have reformatted my computer, and the problem still persists, but here's the kicker:
On a secondary drive, running windows XP professional 64 bit, the computer works just fine, never freezes at all, so i doubt its any hardware component, i have left it on for days to test this, and it still functions properly.
Specs:
E8500 Intel processor, core 2 duo 3.16 Ghz
8 GB of RAM
Cross-fire setup: two ATI Radeon HD4850 series cards
All on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard

I have an HP dv6 notebook with Windows 7 64 bit home premium edition. When I start up, my computer freezes. I have to log off then log back on to do anything. All updates and drivers are current. The only seems to be is with the virtual wi-fi adapter. I can't find a trusted site to download one. The device manager says everything is working properly.

At first I thought it was just online videos, but I've found that it's also when I type - Every few moments my typing will freeze momentarily, just like videos. Something is causing my computer to do this, but I have no idea what. It only started doing this recently.

I have had this problem for some time, and it seems to come in spurts. When running what I consider to be normal programs (normally always with Chrome open) my computer will slow down or freeze altogether. Clicking on programs will cause them to fade out as they do when not responding. Pressing the windows key will sometimes bring up the start menu, often very slowly and then cause it to freeze as well.
