Windows 7 Freezes Randomly After Installing Wireless Router?
May 3, 2012
I recently purchased a D-Link Wireless N 150 Roiuter (DIR-524).I have a home network of 2 desktops (both wired) , one running Windows 7 Ultimate, another Windows XP and the third is a Laptop (wireless) with Windows 7 Home Premium.My Laptop easily connected to the router as did the Windows XP. But the other desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate has become abominably slow and is randomly freezing.
Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
2.4GHz P4 Processor
2GB RAM
VIA motherboard (P4M266A)

In a few days time I will be changing my ISP in the UK from Sky to BT.
BT are providing me with their newest wireless router free of charge as part of the deal and I'll be using that to set up my wireless network, which will consist of an HP Pavilion desktop, a Toshiba laptop, a Sony Vaio laptop, an HP wireless printer and a Samsung HDTV.
This means my Sky wireless router is surplus to requirements, so I was wondering if I could convert it to a wireless access point to improve the range of my BT wireless network.
I've read a couple of supposedly easy-to-understand articles on Google and have to say they left me more confused than ever.

Is there a way to setup your computer to connect only to a specific wireless router in your area? I live in a college dorm and there are a lot of wireless connects available so I'm thinking that there might be complications with my computer with all the information in the air.

my pc has been acting weird lately, it has began randomly crashing frequently. I turn it on and after 3 or so minutes of random activity it just freezes or gives me a blue screen error. Sometimes while playing BF3, it freezes.[CODE]

I have a problem with my Dlink 1310 Wireless Router. For a while now it has been happening but it has finally gotten to the point where I am tired of it happening.Few things I have noticed or have done.1) Watched modem when this happens and never shows sign of droppage in internet2) Updated Firmware for router, and while itse data transfer rates, the problem still persists3) Usually when this happens I will click the network icon on mylaptop/desktop and will see that my router has disappeared from the list of available networks entirely, then returns a few moments later.

I have an issue where my system will freeze randomly throughout the day. The whole screen goes grayish and everything becomes non responsive. The only thing I can do is move my cursor around but i can't click anything.

The Problem: My windows 7 PC freezes (and stays frozen) at apparently random times. The computer will not respond to the mouse or keyboard. Keyboard lights are on, but the Caps Lock key will not light up. This has happened both on startup and while using the PC. If a sound is playing when it freezes, the note will keep repeating. If I have the Task ManagersPerformance tab up, I can see that the CPU activity graph is frozen as well. The only option I have is to hit the reset button. There are no errors presented. The Event Log does not show any specific error occurring at the time of the freeze. The Event log only shows errors and warnings about my having shut down the PC unexpectedly. Nothing to show it was frozen and non-responsive. I have made sure all drivers are up to date. Ran SFC - it reports all files are in order.My web searches have found similar issues occurring with other people, on this and on other forums. I tried various solutions proposed (changed antivirus program, set power to high performance ran a windows repair install, tested memory and video card) but none of this has helped so far.

I've got Windows 7 Home Premium installed on Dell Studio 17 laptop. It freezes randomly. Doesn't matter what program I use. It usually needs a minute or so before it starts running again in the meantime it's not doing anything. just sits there. Extremely frustrating.I reinstalled Windows - same thing. Drivers are up to date.I ran diagnostics - everything's fine. I ran it in the safe mode again - same thing, it froze. Frustration again.The only thing Dell rep managed to say: "it's a virus" after I formatted the drive and reinstalled OS?

I believe I have quite the problem here. Let me start by saying I'm no new comer to technology as I'm in tech support and network services and I'm about the throw this computer out the window.At random intervals while using any number of programs (Dislikes Chrome specifically) Windows will lock-up. If listening to any sounds/music the output will become quite distorted before freezing and it even allows movement of the mouse and keyboard before completely locking up. However, windows appears to still be doing some things (Loops and continuous pop-ups) after the lock-up has begun.
Steps I have taken:
Memcheck86 day long pass turns up nothing.
Atto doesn't result in anything HDD wise.
One stick of RAM works for longer than two (Sometimes indefinitely.)

At various, seemingly random points throughout using the computer, Windows 7 simply freezes or locks up. No BSOD or error code is given, it simply becomes completely unresponsive. The only means I have of shutting down/restarting is to hold the power button and force it to turn off.Using 32 bit Windows 7 Professional Downloaded and clean installed over XP Home a couple weeks ago Computer is an eMachines T3104 with a AMD Sempron 3100+ processor - circa 2005 In an effort to combat old hardware with the new Windows 7 and freezing, I upgraded to 2GB RAM, 430 watt PSU and an AGP 8x video card (Jaton 3DFORCE FX 5200TV) I tried to update the BIOS (currently Phoenix-Award 6.00PG) today. That program hangs up while Windows 7 continued to work. I'd love for it to be fully operational. It is not used for any gaming - online or otherwise. I use it for internet and school work (Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc)

So I recently purchased a new HP pavilion laptop. It has a Core i7 Gen 3 processor, with NVIDIA GEFORCE 630M and a Broadcom wireless chipset. It came with Windows 7 and I upgraded it soon after purchase to Windows 8 using a promo offer. Well, now I am back to Windows 7 due to some crashes but I noticed this problem in both operating systems.
The system would hang completely, save for mouse movements (No clicks though) and I would not be able to do anything. The strangest thing is that within a minute or so, it would recover. I thought, initially, that the problem was with flash (And I use Google Chrome) so I changed the plugins option to on-demand and the problem still persists. I do have all the latest drivers for all the devices. I am wondering now if the problem is with either the Wireless card (Either wifi or bluetooth). I had a similar sort of problem isolated with Microsoft Word (Meaning only that application froze and recovered). My friend told me the he had the same problem on his Dell Laptop and disabled this particular bluetooth transmit addon which remedied the problem.Now, I am disabling the Bluetooth network adapter and checking if the issue persists but I cannot do the same with the Wifi as that is quite necessary.

I am having trouble connecting my girlfriends laptop to the internet using her Windows 7 laptop via a Dlink router with Virgin Media. The laptop previously had Windows Vista installed but I recently upgraded it to Windows 7. For about 2 weeks the laptop connected to the wireless router fine, but stopped working about 4 days ago for some unknown reason out of the blue.
We have tried various methods to fix it, including disabling the wireless network adapter and enabling it again, we have tried updating the driver for the adapter but we get a message saying that the driver currently installed is the latest driver. It also won't let me roll back to the previous driver as that option is faded out in the properties box.
I have took her laptop to my house today to try and connect it to my router (which is also with Virgin and is working fine on my computers at my house) and the laptop won't let me connect to the network and it keeps saying there are no network connections available. I understand that usually it displays a list of connections you can log on to, but the laptop is not finding any connections at all.
On Thursday we attempted to connect to the internet by plugging in the blue wire that came with the router and that works fine. It's just it will not connect wirelessly. What really baffles us with this problem is that it worked fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly stopped working. Could it be an update that was installed that has caused the problem perhaps?
I have also tried using System Restore but that hasn't fixed the problem either. The wireless adapter is called: Atheros AR5005G Wirelss Network Adapter.

I work as a software developer and have had a lot of experience with wireless networking. I have an old wireless router (unsecured at the moment) that I have connected to a modem, provided by Virgin media. When I use a cable to directly connect to the router, all seems fine, but when I attempt to connect wirelessly I am almost immediately presented with "Windows was unable to connect to [router name]". Other people in my house (on both XP and Vista) can connect to the router without any problems, implying that it is a setting within Windows 7. HOWEVER, I am able to connect to another (unsecured) wireless router. I guess this can only mean that there is a setting on the router that is preventing me from connecting...

For the past few weeks, my computer has been experiencing a couple of different failures. Sometimes it freezes up (including the mouse), sometimes it BSODs (different error messages at different times), and sometimes it just shuts off and restarts, as if the power had been momentarily cut. Sometimes it goes a few days between failures, and sometimes it happens multiple times an hour.I've tried the following:update drivers restore from restore point from before the problem started memtest86 (ran 11 times with no errors) reinstall Windows Here are the specs from the TSG SysInfo:Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bitProcessor:[CODE]

It started freezing up around the same time an update for my video card would not install. The video card is running about 47 degrees C. I did a clean install to change from Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium to 64 bit Home Premium and still freezes randomly. Sometimes it will go a long time before it freezes. I have a NVIDEA Ge Force 8400 GS and I did install the 64 it drivers. I ran Malewarebytes and no problems there. The windows update that will not install is a Graphic Adapter WDD M1, WDD M2.

I have a D-Link DIR615 router which I've been using for the past 5 months (no problems whatsoever). After i've got my laptop from the support service I can't seem to successfully connect to my home network.
My phone can connect with no problem to my router. My laptop sees other wireless networks. This is how it goes: when I try to connect it immediately says "unable to connect" when I run the diagnostics I get the "windows did not receive any response from the wireless router" message. I can only connect after like 30 mins of changing the wireless settings (usually SSID and security) from my router + rebooting it countless times. Even then, I usually check "automatically connect" and the next day after I arrive from work, it doesn't really connect automatically and can't even connect to it (unable to connect message). Even typing a wrong passphrase when it's secured it doesn't say "wrong passphrase" but "unable to connect".
Another very wierd thing is that my wireless network disappears from the network list after a few minutes, I still see other secured wireless networks.
I can connect to a wireless network made by phone (wifi hotspot) with no problems.

I got a new machine recently and it all works fine, except the operating system seems to randomly freeze. When it does the only way I have found to get out of it is to manually plug it out and restartOn freeze the keyboard and mouse become entirely unresponsive, the cursor does not move, nor do either click buttons do anything, if I'm typing somewhere the text does not appear, and Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't bring up the usual screenI'm running windows 7 home premium on a 64 bit machine. I haven't found anything quite like this problem around so I thought it deserved a new topic by itselfI can't think of what to do to determine the cause or any potential solution. Everything's up to date. I think all the drivers are too. I put in different virus software 'cause I thought that might be itdit: The last time it happened I tried putting the keyboard and mouse into different USB ports, but that didn't work.Edit2: I just went to my device manager and manually checked for updates for all the drivers, and it turned out my graphics card needed an update (I updated it myself about three weeks ago so I discarded this as a potential problem). So I installed the update.

I am running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS L502X. The only modification I have made to it is swapping out the spindle hard drive for a SSD (Crucial Technology 128 GBl RealSSD C300 Series). I have had this computer almost a year and it works very well except for the fact once every few days it will completely freeze. I will be able to move my mouse, but nothing is clickable and all the programs I had open will just stay up, not doing anything. The only way I am able to get out of it is by hitting ctrl+alt+delete and waiting for the option screen to come up (Lock computer, change password, Task Manager, etc.). Once that happens, I just click cancel, and then everything is working perfectly again, without any programs crashing.
Also, here is a hardware/software snapshot of my computer: [URL].
