Help! Compaq MINI freezes while browsing Internet

I bought a Compaq Mini Notebook compaq mini cq10-405dx on Black Friday and it performed well. Throughout the last 2 weeks whenever I'm browsing the screen freezes, and you must manually it restart to restart. If you press Ctrl Alt Delete it does not.

I read other people who have had same problems uninstalled the root Web that was installed by Best Buy Geek Squad but I don't see this program in the list of programs.

I have AVG free software anti-virus installed, could this be the problem?

Help!

Hello

What you suggest is worth to be tried.  The link below is available for download for Avast Antivirus - this is the free option and just requires you to save email with them in order to activate.  It is also a little lighter on the system resources than moy.

Save the installer to your desktop.

Avast Antivirus

Once the download is complete, uninstall the free version of AVG, currently, you have installed and restart the computer before installing Avast.  When the Avast installation is complete, reboot the laptop again and see if there is an improvement.

Kind regards

  • BlackBerry Smartphones help please - cursor does not not while browsing internet

    Hello

    My Curve 8520 not long ago and fear I'm kinda a dinosaur techno so please bear with me! Wonder if anyone can help with this.

    While browsing the internet my "slider" has suddenly stopped working. My "cursor" - the small black arrow - is still there but when hover over an area of research for example and "click on" my trackball that nothing happens, even if the little hand symbol appears on a link if I "click" the trackball that nothing happens. I discovered I can press return when the hand appears and it goes on the link, but this is unnecessary when only the arrow appears.

    Any assistance received with gratitude

    Ken

    Its the kind of thing that could possibly be fixed by a battery pull.

    With the BB powered, remove the battery and keep it for a few minutes. Let us know how you go.

  • Satellite Pro U200: screen freezing while surfing internet

    Hello

    There someone experince or know U200 freezing by surfing internet screen. He does not know exactly the time this happens but happens usually whilest surf and I am very bored of this.
    What can I do to not to relive the same problem? I must say that its no heat, viruses or temporary internet files and the browser problem.

    I tried to explore 6, 7 and Netscape. All have the same problem of freezing.
    I'm looking forward to hearing solutions on your part.

    Thank you

    Yes I've seen this problem on the forums somewhere else here .i think it says that you need an update for fingerprint software which gave problems while surfing.

  • Windows 7 Media Center - stuttering/video freezing while playing Internet TV

    I recently installed "clean" Windows 7 Edition Home Premium on XP MCE 2005.  I have serious problems with the video stuttering and freezing frequently during playback of the titles of Internet TV, for example, old episodes of Star Trek.  Results often loud squawk a Duke during freezing.  Sometimes it looks exactly like a CD does when he gets stuck on an imperfection and goes into a fast loop.  The irony is that I can read the exact same titles via Fancast, and have no performance problem either.  Stutter/freeze occurs only during playback via Internet TV in Media Center.

    My system is:
    Intel motherboard - tried two different BIOS D945PVS (according to newest and newest).
    Processor Pentium D 3.0 GHz
    3.0 GB RAM 667 MHz
    nVidia GeForce GT 220, 1 GB of VRAM, connected via HDMI for display in 1080 p (latest verified driver) (second video tried - card was first nVidia 210, 512 GB of VRAM)
    Installed at the Manitoba Intel Gigabit network reports, cable and adapter gigabit connection speed
    Three different tried sound options - Creative Soundblaster X - Fi Elite Pro; MB base IDT HD Codec; nVidia HD Audio, with video/HDMI card).

    I updated all the drivers and installed all Windows updates.  I could really use some help.  I did everything I can think of short of a repair upgrade/reinstall of the operating system.  Thank you, in advance, for your help.

    Well, finally solved the problem.  It turns out that lower level nVidia graphics card I tried (the 210 and GT220) couldn't handle Internet TV via Windows Media Center to the high resolution, I tried to use (1920 x 1080, in my case).  I pulled a map of greater chart end of one of my other computers (a nVidia 9800GT) and Internet TV has played without incident a few hours.  I don "t know where the dividing line is between inadequate and adequate performance GPU, but the GT220 (which I think is about equivalent to a 9400GT) did not work and the 9800GT has done.

    So, if you have a skip/stutter problem, either try a lower resolution or a more powerful card.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones phone freezes while browsing Wikipedia

    BB 9700

    V5.0.0.862 (Platform 5.1.0.175)

    Vodafone UK

    While perusing a Wikipedia page yesterday (using the default BB browser) the phone has frozen completely after that I had to scroll to the bottom of the page and zoom in. Only a remove the battery / restart it would be clear. Gel repeated several times (on the same page of WP). Is there a 'known problem' through the pages of Wikipedia on a BB?

    Post scriptum: just tried browsing the other pages of Wikipedia and it froze again, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with a specific page of WP.

    Yes, try on BlackBerry and try your WIki to the site once again.
