View 4 RepliesComputer 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAn 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.

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.
Well, quite recently this computer's been acting up and going all slugish, frequently freezing up.I'm really not much use when it comes to computers but A friend of mine recommended I get Hijackthis and checked but wont find any problem there

View 10 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
View 11 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I been dealing with hp support the whole time I've owned it. The problem was/is is that the case fan runs on high speed much too frequently. When it cranks on It slows down the computer and continues to run for about a minute.Then after about 2 min. it turns on again at high speed. When this happens and your surfing the web or working in a program it slows that process down. The fan cranks on even when not in use, if left on. Anyway, hp changed the cpu fan first, did not fix the problem. Then they changed the motherboard, it did not fix it either. They are now sending me a new power supply and cord. I'll see what happens.
I own 2 of these pc's and the other one does not run like this at all. As I was troubleshooting the first one I unplugged the 2nd pc to move it to another outlet. I then went to turn on the pc and it's totally dead! I tried everything. Switched out the powercord but that was not it. There is a light on the back of the pc that comes on when the pc is plugged in. It's blinking. On the other pc it's solid, not blinking. I talked to hp and they are sending a tech to the house with a new motherboard and power supply.
Frequently am working and then get the "blue screen" filled with "if this is the first time you've gotten this screen. maybe virus, I don't think I have virus issues since I just repartitioned my whole HD and just loaded up a new copy of Windows XPSP2. Still I get this screen frequently. I also get iE6 wanting to shut down periodically (it says it's sorry........) and that is real frustrating.......plus it struggles with add-ons....maybe I should reinstall IE6.All this coupled with my inability to take up my NAV2004 program makes for a fun day. Compag not that old and as I say new XP.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have found that i am frequently running into BSOD.I have been trying to use windb to determine the cause of the problems and while i'm pretty sure there is a driver somewhere that is at fault i have no idea how to determine which one. In the last month and a bit i have updated every driver i could think of, but the BSOD keep occuring.i have run memtest 86 for 24hrs without any problem being detected, but i've heard that some problems can be missed so i havent ruled out a faulty memory stick.I have attached a copy of the crash dumps generated by the BSOD and i am wondering if it was possible for someone to have a look and see if there is anything obvious that may be causing the problem. there are 41 mini dumps ranging from september last year until 8.30 pm tonight.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy computer:Toshiba Satellite M35X-S32980GB Hard Drive 480MB RAM Windows XP About a week ago, my laptop started freezing up a few minutes after I turned it on. Couldn't do Control-Alt-Delete, just had to press down power button for 10 seconds. I managed to get it to stay on long enough to copy my important files--it never locked up while I was copying files onto a CD, but almost always locked up immediately after I ejected the CD. Sometimes it would restart on its own rather than freezing up. Twice I saw a blue screen flash with some text on it, but it was too quick for me to see what error messages it had. I noticed also that it started saying that it had found new hardware on my computer and tried to install it. The new hardware that it said it found was: VIA OHCI IEEE 1394 Host Controller.I searched some forums for possible causes, and saw that someone had a similar problem and that their computer worked when the CD/DVD drive was in use--I've found that works for me too. It works totally fine as long as I have a DVD in the drive playing or on pause.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe shortcut icons for frequently used programs that appear in the start menu below the Internet, Email, etc. shortcuts seem to have disappeared. I noticed it when I rebooted after having defragmented system files using PerfectDisk 8. I assumed the list just got cleared, but it seems no matter how many programs I open, no new shortcuts are ever created. The space just remains blank.I'm not sure if this has any bearing, but I'm also running WindowBlinds 6. I've had WindowBlinds for a long long time and have never run across this issue. Also disabling WB doesn't seem to fix anything.I'm sure the solution is something quite simple
View 10 Replies View RelatedSome days it will run perfectly fine, but most of the time it's so slow, and freezes frequently. My comp is slow with programs (especially opening) and also on the internet. Aso, my processing light is always on, no flicker, just a solid light. I usually get frustrated and shut it down. I've ran a lot of anti-spyware, defrags, and disk cleanups. The disk cleanups used to allow it to run a lot faster, but now it doesn't help one bit. I'm thinking I'm just low on RAM,

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi! I've been working on a friend's kids pc that had 250+ viruses on it and it would only boot in safe mode. I removed the viruses, and attempted to run chkdisk/f, the system said it had to reboot to complete chkdisk, I rebooted and forgot it would only boot to safe mode and now it hangs at loading the mup.sys driver. I'm unable to get back into safemode or anything. I was able to launch the emachine recovery cd, but all I could get to run was ghost, and it advised running chkdisk cuz the drive has errors, I'm stuck, should I try and use my pc's winxp disk and try the recovery console on it? At this point we're ok with formatting and starting over anyways.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen closing my computer down it hangs on saving your settings. You can hear the 'tower' closing down, but the screen doesn't disappear and the pc won't close down. I have to do it at the tower. I have run spywareblaster, avgspyware, avgantivirus, housecall x2 and spybot. Nothing shows up except the odd tracking cookie, which I delete, but the problem still continues. Would I have a virus or anything else that these can't find. Is there anything else I can try.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently assembled my new system and did almost exactly the same installation process as I have done for my old system many times (except drivers for my new hardware). But now I experience random freezes at the blue Welcome screen.If logon process goes normally, there are three stages I have noticed:
1- right after boot screen disappears and welcome screen appears there is some HDD activity
2-hdd activity stops for 1 or 2 seconds
3-hdd activity starts again
But one time out of 10 or 20 everything freezes at the stage 2. I can move the mouse, turn NumLock on/off on my keboard, but I cannot select any user name to log on they are frozen. I tried using Windows Logo key + U (usually this brings up Utility Manager for Accessibilty) but it does not work.
So the only choice is do a hard reset.I did not find any errors in Event Viewer or any hardware conflicts. I have tried to use /bootlog option in boot.ini file but it logs only drivers and nothing about what happens at logon stage.Any ideas? Or maybe a good utility which can log everything that happens when my pc boots up and after that until Desktop appears?
i'm working on an HP Media Center PC M7680N.on bootup, it makes it through the HP screen, and the initial Windows XP screen and then it just hangs there with a blank screen. Tried numerous times.i reseated the ram and blew out the dust grill under the CPU fan, which was almost totally clogged with dust. after doing that i let it sit for a half hour to cool down and tried it again. same result.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI built my own computer about six months ago, and for 99.9 percent of the time it works great. Recently more and more though, it has been hanging at the welcome screen. I would start up the computer and it would go thru the Win XP screen then go to the Welcome screen and just hang. I would restart the PC and it would boot up fine. What would be causing this to happen? No error messages any of the times, its almost like the desktop gets "lost" from time to time.
