• Computer crashes randomly - no entry in Event Viewer

  Computer starts up fine, but crashes randomly. Sometimes, when it's just the office with AVG running, other times sound when Remote Desktop on the server MYOB or using IE or Chrome or Outlook etc.
  Checked event viewer, nothing is there that refers to a form any error. Makes me think that it is a hardware failure.
  Our building had a power outage over the weekend and when we came back on Monday all computers had been transformed and displays the 'Boot normally, etc. safe mode"because they had lost power while remaining on.
  All except a computer seemed to recover properly. I have since replaced the power supply with a spare part and ran fine without freezing for almost an hour under duress (50 to 100% most of the time) with flash player in Chrome, IE and Outlook running, Windows Media player runs a long video SD and a few other somewhat cpu intensive programs.

  I have an Asus P5Q - VM with an Intel Pentium E5200 and 2 x 1 GB DDR2 - 800 MHz.
  A Seagate 250 GB HDD and a bootable CD/DVD drive.
  I replaced the power supply and it would freeze again. Then, I replaced the motherboard and I have yet to install it correctly but it's already freezing. I ran Memtest86 and it passed.
  I'm now beginning to think, it's the RAM (will do much more repetitive memory tests) or the CPU. But the CPU seems to act right, change of voltage as it changes frequency to save energy.

  This is XP SP3, and yes I have a real Installation CD.
  I also installed Windows 7 to find it still hangs, so I eliminated the software.

• My computer crashes randomly (usually by moving the mouse) and Microsoft, NVIDIA tried everything to fix it with no luck. Anyone having this problem? I have an Alienware Area 51 with two video cards in SLI 8800 and 4 GB of RAM.

  The display freezes randomly. The Windows desktop, on the Web pages and during the games. This problem started when I had Vista and I have improved the thought that the BONE was the problem. It is not the case. I added 2 GB of the thought of RAM I need more to no luck. I have now deleted 1 graphics card and the problem persists. I deleted all software except the OS and the problem persists. When you start Windows in safe mode, that the computer does not freeze.

  You are either having a video card driver problem or a ram memory stick problem.  I suggest that you check your ram and the settings in the BIOS.  Use security settings BIOS for the ram as the auto setting.  The Intels i7 have a little problem sometimes with more than one ram Strip and having the highest speed at stake.  Check this and get back with me. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

• Computer crashes randomly. The only thing you can do is to pull the plug so it can restart

  I am running Windows XP on a HP Media Center PC. The system started to freeze frequently and randomly. The only thing you can do is to pull the plug.

  I got it in an "expert" they checked for virus added Ram etc but could not find anything wrong. Brought it home and it froze in the first ten minutes.

• Computer crashes randomly in any program. ___ __

  Just installed Win7 on new PC. After running sfc/scannow, it finds corrupted files, but could not solve some of them. Journal CBS read:... mcbuilder.exe is not actual file [l:26 {13}] 'mcbuilder.exe'...  [{Could reproject not corrupt the file}] "mcbuilder.exe"... file source in the store is also corrupted.  CHKDSK has come up without any problem. Win7 works fine on my other computer (also 32-bit). If someone could give me some suggestions that would be great.

• Firefox crashes several times a day. I haven't found one yet. It crashes randomly, I guess.

  Firefox crashes. I think that Facebook is still running. I tried in safe mode and with all plugins disabled but it keeps crashing randomly. A few days without accidents at all. A few days three crashes in one minute.

  This seems to have solved the problem:

  Repair of TCP/IP stack for use with Vista or 7 options.

  Start - all programs - accessories and do right click on command prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

  Restore the default install WINSOCK entries: netsh winsock reset catalog

  Reset the battery TCP/IP IPv4 default installation. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

  Reset the battery TCP/IP IPv6 default installation. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

  Reboot the computer.

• Whole computer freezes randomly. Browser hangs and then all websites load - Ctrl + Alt + Del then freezes

  This started happening yesterday for no reason. I start my PC, and everything loads very well. I then start my browser and after a few minutes of random browsing, the browser hangs and then it grey out and I get the thing "program not responding", but then I try ctrl alt delete to start the Task Manager to end, but it is not pop up. It takes literally like 10 minutes until that browser reactivates and then I can use ctrl alt del and terminate. Then I'm going to restart the browser and does not pop up. I constantly double click on it and he then decided to work a few minutes later, resulting in many browsers to launch at the same time.

  Sometimes when I'm not so lucky, the browser hangs and after awhile THE ENTIRE COMPUTER crashes and I have no choice but to hold the button to restart.
  I restarted in safe mode and it works quite well after that.
  I ran Malware Bytes and Norton and found nothing harmful to the computer. I also ran another virus scanner, I found on another forum (that they recommended) do not remember the name because I uninstalled it (don't like many antivirus installed at the same time), but it came back with nothing either. I have scanned even in safe mode - nothing.
  He has recently started to happen and I have nothing for this. The only thing abnormal I remember to do is to have to restart the computer by holding down the button when a game has crashed, and then when he asked me if I wanted to run windowed Windows or not, I assumed that the background choice was to function normally because that's what he's always been, but I chose something else and did not notice. It's a blank screen for a few minutes then loading started wondering if it was the start for the first time. I don't know what was going on so I held the button again and run Windows normally and he began to do this, but I really didn't know anything about him.
  Also want to add that the internet does not work until it thaws

• the computer crashes a lot

  my computer crashes a lot

  Help, please

  Could be almost anything of this description.

  A little more information, such as your operating system (Win 7 - starter, family premium, 32 bit, 64 bit etc), can help your PC spec (CPU, Ram, graphics card, etc.) when it freezes (i.e. is it randomly, or when you try a specific task or you open a specific program)? Is full of your hard drive or you have loads of free space?

  However, input:

  It could be malicious, so download it, install, update (updated by right-clicking on its icon and 'run as administrator' then go to the update tab) and run a complete scan with free malwarebytes.

  Run a disk error check

  Run a SFC / scannow check the operating system

  If you perform a clean boot as a test, it freezes then? Don't forget to get back to normal after the test.

  
  

  If only, it freezes when you try to play a game, try updating your graphics and sound card drivers.

  CPU: 2.00 GHTz DUal Core CPU (not overclocked)
  Video: NVidia GT610 1 GB Galaxy
  On-board sound
  Hard drives: three drives of 160 GB
  Explorer Windows seems to crash randomly during operations of files on internal disks or outside of any kind. All controls and system disks come out without any problems whatsoever, and I'm pretty well versed in computers and operating systems, so I'm at a loss on what could be the issue.

  Hello

  Please, try the command SFC/scannow in the administration command prompt and see if that helps.
  Hope this helps, good luck :)

  Create a new profile and copy the one above him. See this article for instructions.
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Create_a_new_profile_and_copy_the_old_one_over_it

  Your old profile is located under "roaming."
  For Thunderbird there is nothing that you need to restore from "local."

• My computer crashed and it restarted I asked me to refresh Firefox. I have now lost all my favorites etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder - help!

  My computer crashed (blue screen) and when it restarted a box came asking me to update Firefox. I clicked on OK (thought he was just trying to restore the session) and I have now lost all my favorites, passwords registered etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder anywhere on my system - help! is there a way I can get it all back without doing a system restore? I am running Windows 7.

  Hi, you can try it for only bookmarks: first open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.

  If not and the other favorites, please see.
