Hangs Frequently Following Heavy Activity
May 29, 2006
Windows Xp on my machine hangs frequently following heavy activity like running a game or simply when running normal programs like media player. I have a dual boot system with 98 on an other drive. The same thing happens there too. I ran a surface scan using Scandisk on 98 to see if there are any bad sectors on the hard drive, but the results turned up no errors. This problem has been recurring for the past few days. I dont know if this is a hardware or software problem, so bear with me if I posted in the wrong section.

Computer frequently "freezes" or "hangs". Every time I click on a link from e. mails, but also when on web sites (mostly craft). I do fragment and clean discs regularly.

Fairly new laptop - HP Pavilion - slow startup - not overly slow - would just like things to speed up. I do have a lot of large applications on here that I want to keep because I use them. Anyway - if someone don't care to look over my HJT file here it is and will take constructive critisim and suggestions for speeding this thing back up.

I just downloaded the latest version of Nikons Capture NX photo program so now I need a much faster PC.Nikon program recommends "Pentinum 4 2Ghz or better"
What would be better?Dual processor? if so, which one? Video card? RAM 1GB is too slow....Maybe 2GB? 3GB? 4GB What else should I look for?

Is there a way of recording the activity on your screen. Rather than Print Screen which is a still screen shot.Say you are on an interactive program or on the internet and you want to record it so that later you can go over it to recap.Or you want to record certain steps to take, to show someone else?

I use the tool of regmon to moniter the activity of appliction access the registry. In the screen, i can see the request of 'query value' or 'open key' or'close key'. the response shows 'success','not found'. I can not understand why the applications need these request when they are running.

When A program updates it ask you restart and you click on yes. The PC closes everything and shuts down to the post and there it stays with the cursor blinking. You have to turn it off and then power back on. At the point where it where it stalls at the reboot, there is no hard drive activity so it doesn't hurt to shut it down. It is just a pain in the butt.

Alright this is really damn annyoying, the pc runs incredibly slow, when I look in task manager, explorer.exe is using 97% of the CPU, so I end the proccess and start a new one, then winlogon.exe runs at 97% CPU usage and this proccess can't be ended, and I noticed there are multiple "svchost.exe" about 5 actually, I even reinstalled the operating system about 3 times and the computer still has the problem. I looked all over the internet and I can't find anything that can solve this. I have the log from HijackThis:

My computer starts up normally until it gets to the part where "Windows XP" shows up with the blue loading bar. When it gets to that screen, there is a few secs of harddrive activity and then it suddently just stops. THe screen stays the same wit the blue thing moving. I am getting no errors or anything. I am able to boot up into safe mode just fine. I can still get my files and everything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Could it be that a file just went corrupt? Manybe a way to reload a fresh version of the file? There is nothing I can think of that made this happen. The only thing done was creat a new account and then after creating the account is when the problem happened. I even tried a system restore to about 2 weeks ago and nothing. The same thing happens
THis has happened to me before. I was able to fix it for a few more boot ups by doing a system restore but then the same thing would happened. The only way i was able to fix it was by reinstalling windows again and i do not want to do that unless if it is my last option.

My computer is stuck or frozen. The activity light stays on. I have removed all fans and cleaned them, remove battery and replaced after 30 minutes, used a different battery, unplugged all cables. After trying each one, I plugged the computer in again and still activity light stays on. The moniter is black. When I turn it off and on it shows "no signal" on the screen. I also replaced the ram with two 2Gs. What do I do to stop whatever activity is going on?

I'm running a desktop PC (Dell Dimension 4700) with XP Pro SP3, 1.5 GB RAM. Both keyboard and mouse are USB. Over the last several weeks the computer freezes and I am puzzled about how to go through the troubleshooting. It is rather infrequent (maybe 4-5 times over 6-8 weeks?)When it freezes there is no apparent disk activity. The display appears perfectly normal. It appears to be random and infrequent. When it freezes there is no apparent response to either keyboard or mouse. Pushing the power button briefly does nothing, but pushing and holding the power button does result in the expected shutdown.

Is there a way that I can look up the time and date of the activity on my computer? I am curious about both Internet activity, such as "at 3:43am on sept. 9, 2005 the page stumbleupon.com was being visited" and/or any computer activity such as "at 8:00pm the windows media player was being utilized" or "added files at 8:05pm". I guess what I am hoping for is a time-stamp log.I have Windows XP v.2002 SP2. I am connected to the Internet using Qwest DSL 7meg bandwidth max. I have MSN Premium as part of this package. And I am using Norton anti-virus 2004.

I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook (about 18 months to two years old) running XP Pro, and frequently I encounter a situation where, with no programs running, explorer.exe "cycles" in activity and CPU usage - for example, from 30,000 K Memory Usage to 50,000 K to 70,000 K to 90,000 K (over the course of 10 seconds or so), then drops back down to 30 or 40,000K and starts over.

Recently, within the past few weeks, I've noticed that my hard drive has been running more than usual. I can hear it running, and I see the activity light flashing when the computer is basically at idle and not doing anything. The weird thing is that if I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and bring up the performance tab, on the top portion of the graph, there is a spike in CPU activity, with the time interval being almost exactly every 60 seconds for about 2 or 3 seconds, along with corresponding hard drive activity. Then it stops and the activity spike repeats about 60 seconds later, over and over.

I have windows xp professional sp2, I uninstalled Symantec Antivirus then rebooted computer. Went through bios load screen then came a black screen (no hard drive activity or nothing) and stays black with no hard drive activity or anything for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes I get the Windows XP loading screen then boots as normal.
Prior to me uninstalling symantec it went straight from bios screens to windows xp loading screen almost immediately. The reason I uninstalled antivirus was I wanted to try a different antivirus

I have a problem with my computer freezing. I am using Windows XP SP3. The freezing occurs kind of randomly, sometimes after being on for a few days, sometimes after windows starts, but when it occurs, I have to push the power button on my computer to shut everything down. There is no error message, everything just stops.

I am facing the disgusting "windows frequently restarts" problem. I am using Compaq Presario X1028US laptop with Intel Pentium Centrino 1.5 GHZ processor, 512 MB RAM and a 160 GB hard disk with Windows XP SP 3 as the OS. I regularly update the anti virus (AVG) and the Windows automatically. The most recent change to the system was to upgrade AVG from 8.5 to 9.0 which was done yesterday. Everything was fine until today morning when the laptop started restarting by itself. I first ignored it and continued to work and it became more and more frequent. I have referred several posts on the internet and have done all the things mentioned below in order but the problem still persists. I am not able to pin point to the cause of the problem. It should be noted that the problem exists only in the normal mode of Windows XP and not in the Safe mode.

An error that has been on common on my computer for some time now. i have had it a lot more frequently. I have yet to complete a full panda virus scan on my computer except on safe mode. I found a virus and it disinfected it,my computer still crashes quite a lot. I used to have norton installed, but i couldn't finish a scan with that either so i tried to remove as much of it as i could and installed panda.

I have just tried to reinstall XP Professional on an Elite computer.
Initially all seemed to be going well I got as far as the desktop and an invitation to take the tour, which I declined and went straight to connect to the internet. At the same time I opened a previously prepared set of instructions for completing the wizard.
I noticed that the instructions would not scroll easily, moving in little jerks, but I carried on. About half way through the wizard the computer froze. Finding nothing on the keyboard or mouse that would work I switched off the power.

I am running windows XP and I have a BT Voyager 100 adsl modem.The internet connection seems to disconnect frequently although when i check its status it says it is still connected.The only way to get the connection back is to restart the computer.Also when this happens other programs stop responding and the computer sometimes freezes up.I've run anti-virus and anti-spyware software and they haven't come up with anything.I have quizzed but about but they seem to have run out of ideas.

My computer reboots every time it reaches the welcome screen. Sometimes it actually gets into windows but not long enough to do anything. I have tried everything except of reformatting or trying to refresh the os as I don’t have my xp disc. I tried safe mode and tried safe mode with networking but same problem. I tried VGA mode people seemed to have thought might be a video thing still reboots. I tried to disable auto restart to see if I could get any type of error message but still reboots.

My system (GenuineIntel Pentium III Processor, RAM 312 MB) has dual boot system with Win ME and Win XP Professional. The dial-up modem (Motorola sm56 Speakerphone, Voice/Data/Fax)works well on Win ME without any disconnections, but it frequently disconnects from the line at will, on Win XP, particularly when there is a slight delay in receiving bytes. I've not found anything in configuration that should lead it to delink.

I have Windows XP pro on a Dell Inspiron 1150. I've had it for about a year now.My problem is that my computer crashes: it just turns off. At first I thought it was just overheating or I was running too many programs at once, but lately it will happen when I'm only running one program, and I've just restarted it.
It crashed approximately ten times yesterday.The problem first showed up about six months ago, but it would only crash once maybe twice (right after each other) and only about once every two weeks. It's started getting really bad in the past month or so.Now what I think the problem might be is. well. I pull up the task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and there's always at least 45 or 50 processes running. I think this is what's causing the problem but I'm not sure.I talked to my father about it, and he thinks this might be the problem, he mentioned a "boot menu" where I can stop them from automatically running when my computer starts. But I don't know where that is, or if this really is the problem.
