Computer Keeps Freezing Up While Watching Video And Not Watching?
Nov 2, 2012I've had my asus eeepc 1001pxd running at 16 bit ( just changed it)and my internet keeps freezing up especially when I im watching video. When i check the task manager it shows that I'm using a load of cpu when I open new page I've changed my browser from chrome to mozilla and finally now to Opera which seems to work better but whenever I'm online it seems to freeze up. I've had some other little glitches too. Once in a while the keyboard just stops working and also once in a while arrow keys just start turning the screen upside down out of the blue. I've tried to figure everything out. but to no avail. It even froze up (not responding) when i started the event viewer.
Here are the details from my eventvwr from the last week. Code:

Transparent Desktop Shortcuts, Turn Black After Logging Off?
Feb 23, 2012I having a problem where if i set any short-cut on my desktop to a transparent one (both made in Photoshop, and one downloaded from here [7forums]) it will work until I log off (or restart ofc).I have tried rebuilding the icon cache - again it worked until I logged off - and also tried rebuilding the thumbnail cache - but with the same resultThe Install of Windows is fairly new only about a month old and although I do have a mod that removes the short-cut arrow this was happening before that point.

Windows Media Player Is Running While Watching Live TV
Oct 25, 2012Frequently I notice when using Windows Media Center watching live TV that WMP is running when I havn't started it. Does it run automatically when Media center runs? And when I stop watching TV and minimize Media Center to the taskbar WMP is still running and consuming 8-12% of my processor when idle. What gives?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAny Longer To Log Processes And Look At Names Of Binaries / Services Rather Than Just Watching Them Come And Go In Windows?
Nov 29, 2012My Windows 7 install may be corrupted by something obscure that does not show up in or is not detected by Defender and other software.Is there a no simple way any longer to log processes and look at the names of the binaries and services rather than just watching them come and go in a Window? Or see how long it takes for a corrupted system driver to load? Or if the OS is constantly reloading it because it crashes? Has Windows Pro series become so dumbed down that effective system monitoring and analysis is now almost impossible?I do have Win7 pro so the system monitor and analysis tools should do more than just a "home" install does...but I cannot find any documentation on logging the activities of system processes anywhere.My install of Windows 7 seems to be indexing to drive like a dog with a broken hind leg. I was forced into a WGA check and it seems to me that there is something not quite right going on.I dread having to nuke and re-install because that means setting up all my wifes software and internet passwords, Citrix, office, and the list goes on and on...not to mention hours of updating Windows 7 from service pack one! My problems are most likely not a device on this machine because the machine runs like a dream with Knoppix, (my favorite OS of all time) Slackware or Mint Linux...but with the Windows7 that it was originally designed for it has recently started to run like a dog!
Could my trouble be something as simple as a flaky wifi driver? Strangely the Belkin USB wifi that I use runs like a top with Linux though, so I doubt that it is a hardware issue.The belkin driver is certified for Windows 7 and never acted up in the past.Because in the past I have seen Windows updates murder communication drivers especially with 2000 and XP it is a possibility that a recent critical update messed up the Belkin .inf ndis settings. Anyone else have a recent problem with 7 and Belkin Atheros USB wifi drivers?I will try running without the device and see if Windows gets its mojo back before I do anything drastic like nuke it and either dump windows for good or suffer through another ridiculous Windows cleansing re-install!
Windows 7 Freezes While Playing Games Or Watching Videos Online
Dec 13, 2011Whenever I go to a webpage and try to play games, view videos, or streaming content my system "freezes" every minute or two. I can never watch a video or play a game in its entirety without having to sit through numerous "freezes", or whatever it is. The little spinning icon just keeps going round and round.

May 20, 2011recently did a fresh install of windows 7 home premium on my hp g62-140us laptop (formatted hd, etc). everything seemed fine until i started to watch a video (doesn't matter what site, could be Internet, hulu, etc). from anywhere between 5-20 minutes of watching a video, my computer becomes extremely slow. the video freezes, probably going less then 1 fps, but the sound is still playing. sometimes, the sound lags too. task manager shows normal memory use but 100% cpu use... in resource monitor, the hog seems to be nt kernal & system. since this is a fresh install, im assuming its not malware or a virus. any ideas? i thought it was the video card driver at first so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail. also, the pc works fine in safe mode (i can watch videos).

Nov 8, 2011when i am watching web video - news site video (cnn, wsj, fox) or Internet, a few minutes into it, my system restarts. also, but less frequently, i get random restart on browsing with both ie8 and ff. see my profile for specs - basically windows 7 32 bit oem on a 5 year old p4 system. its fully patched. i thought it might be my avast and ad aware so i uninstalled these and installed ms security essentials. its fully patched too. i have updated my video drivers and installed an ms codec update. the restarts are still happening. the case gets decent air flow and i even slipped the side panel off, blew out some dust. the cpu temp seems fine so i don't think its a thermal warning. i tried the instructions to generate a minidump file, but no luck. the zip file has all my settings re: minidump as per the thread. see word doc in zip file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedBSOD & Reboots (random), Usually While Watching TV?
Feb 22, 2012- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? windows 7 professional x64
- the original installed os on the system? no, installed myself on a clean system
- an oem or full retail version? i got it from a legal msdn academic alliance license.
- what is the age of system (hardware)? not old. probably 1,2 of 3 years old. (amd phenom ii x4 955.) see my profile for more specs.
- what is the age of os installation (have you re-installed the os?) 6 month old, but got crashes since the beginning. if i'm correct, even before the new motherboard/cpu/mem/psu/gpu install.
i think the crashes usually occur when watching tv on my pc using my avermedia capturehd (a pci-e hdmi input card). but i think i have seen crashes while not watching tv. maybe the capturehd card increases the chance a lot. crashes can be random. sometimes i have a week without crashes,sometimes continuously when rebooting.
a crash results in a bsod or a spontaneous reboot. after a spontanous reboot, the system sometimes halts in a black screen after the reboot.sometimes even a cold reboot doesn't boot well. sometimes after a reboot, starting the tv card immediately results in a reboot. crashes often occur when doing multiple things: watching Internet, having a tv window open, downloading. but sometimes also during low system use while having a tv window open.sometimes the radeon gpu driver shows a popup "display driver stopped responding", and continues working normally.
background info:i use a ssd as boot drive. ssd health is 100%. ram is checked using memtest, which shows no problems.

I have experienced problems watching videos or playing music recently were sometimes it lags for a few seconds and the sound becomes very digitized and choppy. Also my computer crashed once this month watching another video, but I didn't get the BSOD. The same thing happened this time, only if froze and then I got the BSOD. I don't know if this is related, but I've been experiencing problems during start up with windows. Periodically the computer freezes while loading windows on the 'Please Wait' screen, just before the login screen is displayed. Usually it happens multiple times consecutively, when I restart my computer from the first freeze it freezes again multiple times. I then have to spend the afternoon trying to turn my computer on, until I can get to the login screen without the computer freezing.I've got a hardware problem too, but that's probably unrelated. The laptop speakers randomly stopped working a few months ago, I'm planning on sending it in to get fixed soon. Just thought I'd mention it in case it's relevant somehow.

BSOD While Gaming / Sometimes Watching Videos
May 14, 2012On my laptop I can run a game and log into my account and pick a character but as soon as it loads the character i get blue screened, it sometimes happens when I am watching a movie or something but only on the rare occasion but it happens every time i try to play a game. Earlier tonight I restored to factory settings and all was going well and I was installing a game until at about 54% I got a blue screen. My laptop is 64-bit and has the original operating system on it which is the pre-installed version that came on it.
