ABC causes system freeze

I would be very grateful if someone could please tell me how to troubleshoot the cause of a system freeze.

After that a BSOD caused by the premature elimination of a DVD of my d: drive, a program that I use frequently, ABC, was originally a complete system to freeze any moment, I try to run... it is Exact Audio Copy, a program that allows you to burn a cd, content analysis of files for loss/lossless music.  The only way to address the gel is through reboot cold.

Here are the steps that I took so far... and maybe this will give you an idea:

1. I uninstalled, but when I tried to re-install it ALSO caused a freezing of the system.

2. in Safe Mode, I was able to reinstall them and run the program without problem.

3. after the installation in Mode safe, but chasing after systematic startup, the system froze.

So, I assume that there is a driver conflict...

EventViewer does not seem to grasp the issue... nothing showed up.

Are there other ways to understand the question?

I am running XP Pro SP3, all the installed updates, on a Dell Vostro 220 s computers.

Thanks a lot if someone can help me with this.

Just note if EAC still causes crashes while all other programs/processes are not running. If this is the case, then it has a bug or there may be a problem with one of your drivers. If there is no blocking, systematically add pack programs/process until there is a blockage. Essentially, you need to use the process of elimination until you isoliez the villain.

Start by adding half back and then see if there is a blockage or not. You'll understand!

  • Analysis of C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3\XPSSVCS. DLL causes system freeze

    During the last two weeks, I asked problems with my virus scanner (Prevx 3.0) analysis of the C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3\XPSSVCS. DLL in the complete analysis of the system. All programs and processes running freeze. I think there is a problem with this file. Is there a way to fix/replace it without reinstalling Vista and therefore lose all my data or the upgrade to Windows 7 (I have the habit of Vista and I'm not quite ready to upgrade)?

    I contacted the Prevx 3.0 support team. The issue has not yet been identified, but according to me, repair or replace this file DLL can be useful.

    Hello

    You see yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager? Maybe a driver isn't installed properly in the system freezes.
    In addition, I would try to remove the USB ports in Device Manager. After this restart your laptop and USB ports will be recognized again.

    Have you tried a BIOS update? If this isn't the case, you should do it. Before you begin the update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

    Last but not least try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. It only takes a few minutes and then you have settings to factory again! :)

    Looks more like a hardware or a hardware driver issue.

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • Disconnect a session from the Terminal Server Services causes system hiccups.

    Dear reader,

    We noticed some undesirable in MSTSC behavior when a network connection drops during a session-MSTSC to a server. What happens is that when the user is disconnect from the remote session due to network connection dropping, the entire system freezes for a few seconds, making the communication on other physical cards within this same remote device which are not affected by a network connection cannot fall.

    In order to reproduce that we run several tests on the following versions of windows using various equipment:

    • Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition
    • Windows 2008 Server R2
    • Windows XP

    Tests were performed on both physical and VMWare virtual servers. All systems are equipped with at least two physical ethernet adapters on different IP networks.

    During the test, we put a MSTSC connection to windows server during the first card (A) on this server. On the other (B) ethernet card we have implemented an application to communicate to a client on another machine, sending simple messages every second and receiving responses.

    When we pulled the ethernet adapter cable has and in doing so, disconnected the MSTSC, the communication on the ethernet B card connection would fail aswell for a few seconds.

    Is this a known issue? And in such a solution?

  • common causes for freezing?

    Hello


    My code sometimes causes Flash Player to freeze so bad, that I have to kill the host application or stand-alone player. I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

    I suspect the following:

    -dynamic generation of tween objects that are pushed on the tables to avoid the garbage collector; memory problem?

    -an unparalleled amount of add/removeEventListener

    These are my only clues.

    What are some common causes for freezing Flash Player? I have confirmed that it is not related to video drivers or the OS.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    zestwan

    Throughout my experience working with AS2/AS3, the known causes were:

    Bad code written

    Poor application design

    Operation garbage collection performed poorly or not at all

    Improper performance of XML

    Poorly written TimerEvents and eventHandlers (but they are very easy to catch)

    I think that if the developers get in the habbit of debugging since the beginning, he would help them identify the pitfalls and issues way ahead.

  • Vista constant system freeze

    I have a lenovo laptop under Vista.  About two weeks ago the system started to freeze, apparently at random. Nothing works except a hard stop.

    First of all, I tried several restore points go as far as possible.  This seemed to cause the accident to be a little less frequent.

    The I deleted Norton Security Tools.

    I made every check disk, the solution, the available cleanup operation.

    I ran memory diagnosis and there is no error reported.

    I cleaned all the startup files.

    Just today, I started working on the event viewer and he registered several errors 100, 101, 103, 106, 108, 109, 200, 203, 400 by the number of days.

    I can't find enough information about these being of no use.

    I suspect a motherboard-intermittent problem, but want to be sure, that I'm not missing something.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris and Alisa Riser,

    • Did you the latest changes on the computer?

    Method 1

    First of all, I would say that you uninstall the Norton product, using the removal tool and check if it helps.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

     

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, see if the problem persists in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    Method 3

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is at the origin of the problem in normal mode.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Power of Microsoft service and MMCSS causing startup freeze

    I have Windows 7 set to automatically download updates from one day to the next.  He downloaded a few of the latest updates (lot of September), I installed them, and then the computer started to freeze during startup... it would lock up just before the login screen.

    I went into safe mode and has a restored system.  Which corrects the problem.

    Then again downloaded and installed updates.  I woke up in the morning to find my computer frozen during startup, just like before.  So I tried to do a restore of the system, just like before.

    This time, the system restore did not work.  And after that, I couldn't even in safe mode... the computer freezes even when in safe mode.

    Then I booted from the CD with Windows 7 and tried a restore of the system in August.  Who has not fixed the problem... the computer always locked up at startup.

    Then I was the restoration of the image around August 20.  Who not has not yet fixed the problem.  I was able to get into safe mode now, but the computer still froze when I would start normally.  This has never been a problem before the latest updates of September.

    I then reduced what services were originally the lock upward.  It turns out that if I turned off the power of Microsoft Service, my computer should start normally.  Alternatively, if I disabled the Multimedia Class Scheduler service, my computer should start normally.  But if I have these two services running at the same time, then my computer hangs at startup.

    Right now I have the MMCSS off, but I can not all the sounds from my computer because of that, and the Windows Audio Service does not work.

    Now I'm in a situation where I don't know how to solve this problem.

    Hello
     

    Method 1.
    Let us scan SFC and check that it prevents this error to occur.
    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file.
     
    To do this, follow these steps:
    a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
     
    More information on SFC scan found in this document:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     
    Method 2.
    Try to update the audio drivers to verify.
    Update your sound driver in Device Manager:
    a. Click Start and then click Control Panel
    b. click on system and Maintenance
    c. under Device Manager, click on devices and equipment display
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    d. expand sound, video and game controllers
    e. right click on your Audio Controller, and then click Properties
    f. Select the driver tab
    g. click the Update Driver button.
    h. Select the option automatically search for an updated driver
     
    Windows will now look for an update for your Audio drivers locally and on the internet and then will guide you through the process of installing the driver.

  • File system freezes when I right click on an icon

    When I use the file system whenever I do a right-click on an icon, the whole file becomes unresponsive. Even when I try to use the Ribbon at the top to - for example, create a new folder - it freezes.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    See if this will help you before you consider relocations.
