Windows 7 Restarting And/or Freezing?
Feb 15, 2013
I just built a computer with the following:
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
Gigabyte HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
GSkill DDR3-1600 4096MBx2 F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR
AMD PH II X4 965 3.4G AM3
I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The only things I have on the computer is Steam, Skyrim, MSE, and Chrome. I've updated Windows using Windows Updater, and my video drivers are up to date. I've not touched any other drivers. Sometimes my computer freezes, and sometimes it just randomly restarts. I'm not getting any BSOD. It has restarted when I'm on the computer playing a game, when I'm just on the net, or when I'm not doing anything at all and I'm away from the computer.
I've tried the following:
System file checker - nothing found
Seatool for Windows (HDD checker for my Seagate HDD) - nothing found
Microsoft Fix It - nothing found
Memtest86 - ran for 8 hours, 13 total passes completed without error
I have no idea where to go from here. Over the last 10 years, everytime I've had a harfware problem, I've always gotten BSOD,what to do about random freezing or restarts.

ever since I reinstalled windows 7 a while back Ive been having problems with my computer randomly freezing up and then restarting. It usually does this when I am surfing the net or watching a HD video 720p or above. Sometimes just before it restarts it will mention something about reference memory. I notice my computer also restarts when I leave it sit for a while but it almost seems random.

OS: Dual-boot Windows XP Professional x32, Windows 7 Ultimate x64. (Windows XP earlier OS)CPU: AMD Athlon 7750 x2RAM: 4GBGPU: Nvidia GeForce 9500gtHDD: Seagate 500GBWindows Xp installed for around 3 years, Windows 7 for about 1 year. The pc is about 3 years old.For the past 7-8 days, my computer is randomly restarting or freezing up. The problem persists till I restart it 3-4 times. Then it functions properly till the time it is shut down. On checking Event Viewer I saw that one of the reasons for the problem is given as 'The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start". Two other reasons which are also there quite a few times are "DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments in order to run the server" and The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AFD, CSC, DfsC"I have also noticed that after the first restart, the PC freezes even in the OS selection screen. All seems to be fixed after the 4th restart till the time I shut down. I am using Kaspersky and it is about to expire in a few days. If I remember correctly, the problem started on the day Kaspersky first giving reminders about renewing license. Can these be connected?

I recently built my first PC three days ago...
Specs:
i7 bloomfield 960 processor
4x4 vengeance ram
crosair hx850 PSU
evga x58 ftw3 mobo
hd 6870 radeon graphics xfx
When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.

Computer is currently suffering from persistent freezing and bluescreens. It seems to happen almost randomly, and usually very soon after startup and loading of Windows. System restore has not helped.'fraid that's all the info I can give right now. Any recommendations? If anyone wants me to run hijackthis or dxdiag and post results I'd be more than happy to (assuming I can get that far before it freezes!). Safe mode does work, and the problem does not occur while in safe mode.

Since couple of weeks ago my computer started shutting down unexpectedly which it was OK with me since it wasn't doing it often and I was able to use my computer... My issue now is that now my PC is restarting itself, sometime it lets me get to the desktop but now its just restarting when it get to the "starting windows" screen. I was able to get into the PC today again and it gave me time to go into windows and grab the "minidump" file.

A laptop of mine contracted a virus, and installed a fake antivirus program. I was able to uninstall the fake antivirus, but now I have another problem. Every time I turn on / restart the laptop, I get the message "Windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart automatically in one minute, please save your work now". The laptop then restarts, ad infinitum. Now, having done a quick google search, I see lots of reccommendations involving either going into Safe Mode or using the Advanced Boot Options. Problem is, I can't get the F8 menu screen to come up on the problem laptop. I have another laptop of the exact same model - this one is uninfected and I can get the F8 menu up just fine, so it's nothing to do with me mis-timing pushing the button. I have tried going into Safe Mode via the Boot options in msconfig, but alas I get the same error message in Safe Mode, too, and again my computer is forced to restart.

I recently built a computer with the following specs
[code]...
I know that this subject has been brought up a few times, but nothing seems to work for me. My power supply is a Corsair 650w, is that the problem? The person who sold me the parts told me that it should work.I have checked the software and it does not seem like the problem.My computer restarts every hour or so, there is no warning before the restart nor any thing after the restart, its really starting to annoy me.

I recently upgraded our old computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional. It wouldn't boot from the CD to install for some strange reason so I put the hard drive in my computer and installed it from there. After it installed, I put the HDD back into the old computer and tried to boot it. Everything works fine until it says "Starting Windows". After displaying that message for about 5 seconds it restarts and brings up the choice: Run diagnostics (recommended)Start Windows normally If I choose to start normally, the same thing happens and it restarts again. If I run diagnostics it says the issue cannot be automatically repaired.The strange thing is that it will boot perfectly fine on my computer (if I put the HDD in), but cannot boot on the old one. Also, the same Windows 7 works on my computer.

I am currently experiencing consistent restarting of Windows Explorer on my PC. To find out the error which is causing this, I need to access task manager, which is also unavailable (greyed out when I right click on the task bar). By accessing the task manager, I hoped to stop the windows explorer process.

[code] I've newly installed Windows 7 and updated SP1 and other updates via windows update. Everything was working find until the explorer restarted and continued. I restarted PC to see if it will be solved but didn't. I've tried restarting with various services other than that of Microsoft disabled and even unistalled some programs like Norton 360 but didn't solve the problem. The explorer.exe keeps on restarting again and again. However, no such problem exits while running in safe mode. Reinstalling windows is my last option.

[code] I just updated my motherboard, cpu, and ram to the above parts, and am having a hard time doing a clean install of W7. I think I probably could have just used my previous W7 after updating those parts, but I just wanted to do a clean install to start fresh. So I have other hard drives, but disconnected them to simplify things leaving just my SSD to have the OS installed. I have the BIOS settings all at default, and the board is W7 ready and shouldn't need an update I don't think because it's fairly new.I have my boot priority as my SSD first. And then when it boots up, I press F8 and manually select the USB drive I am using to install my W7 (I have used this USB before and the W7 on it is legit, not pirated). Once it loads, I select the SSD, erase everything on it so it is "unallocated space", and then proceed to where it starts copying W7 files and then it RESTARTS instead of installing! I tried the exact same procedure multiple times to make sure I wasn't crazy and sometimes it would RESTART when I pressed proceed to install (before I even got to the screen to select the desired harddrive to install W7 on). I have also tried using a freshly burned DVD of the same W7 image and it yields the same results. Once it restarts, it I don't press F8 it goes to a screen where it says "BOOTMGR IS MISSING", which I assume means there's nothing bootable on my SSD. I should also mention when I select the USB or DVD manually after pressing F8 to select the boot device, if I wait long enough at the "press any key" screen, the "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" shows up there too. I don't know why. But if press a key before that shows up, I can consistently get to the W7 installation screen. I tried looking that the "repair" option on the W7 installation but I think thats more for fixing current installations. Does anybody have any suggestions on whats making installing W7 so difficult, creating this endless loop of restarts?

My computer started restarting randomly about 2 weeks ago and this problem is getting more frequent now. I don't get any BSOD and the event viewer will log only "Event ID 41 - Kernel-Power". My computer just turn off as if I had a power-loss and then turn on again. The strange is that it's totally random. I can play games for more than 2 hours ou run a stress test for 3 hours without restarting but I can turn on the computer and when browsing the internet for 5 minutes it will restart. I have made a lot of research on the internet but didn't any relevant information but a PSU problem.
