Random freezes in windows 7 long after you install service pack 1

Long after the installation of Service pack 1 for Windows 7 both my desktop and my laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium started to freeze randomly.  My desktop hard drive PC turns on solid and I can hear the hard drive actively reading or writing. During this time my mouse works, but not the icons on my desktop or the status bar respond to my clicks.  It stays like that long enough to make me do a hard cock down and restart.  How he is sitting there with the disk hard churning away again for a long time then boots into windows while my storage controller to say there is an error with my discs... I have reset it to normal and everything is fine until the next time, the freeze occurs.

My laptop is a bit different.  All of a sudden out of nowhere, the cursor turns into this lively circle which means that he is busy doing something.  When she do that I can't do anything else that move my mouse around the screen.  Once again here, I have to make a hard stop and restart to fix the problem.

I downloaded and installed a fix from microsoft last night about this problem, but it still persists that my wife said she had to restart the laptop this morning already for the same problem.  I seems that the problem is more prevalent on my laptop but not so widespread on my desk.  They are two Dell computers.  My desktop computer is a XPS-420 and my laptop is an Inspiron 1545.  The Office has a core 2 duo cpu and the laptop has a pentium dual core processor. My office has 8 GB of memory RAM and two 320 GB hard drives in raid 0 (stripe) mode Setup. I have two logical drives in the space of a raid. C: drive (120 gb) contains my operating system and a disk D: (460 GB) contains programs and data. It has an ATI graphics in it.  I think it's a Radeon HD 3725 or 3750.

The laptop is just a base with all the bells and whisles which come with the Inspiron name.

Oh and by the way, I have already made a clean boot to verify that the problem does not lie with the 3rd party software and drivers.  The question still persists in clean boot mode.

I start the computer in SafeMode too for a few minutes (maybe 20 minutes) without any problem at all.  But it was a little time to test.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had more than one installed antivirus program... I did not even notice this... This might be the reason for freezing it... just wait and see

First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.

  • error c00000021A on my windows XP Professional after you install spyware and computer back reset

    I reinstalled windows XP Professional ON MY DELL gx270s, I formatted the hard disk, installed the drivers from dell four with him, but after I installed my avast spyware on it and the computer comes back from.  I get the code on a blue screen "COOOO21A ERROR". Could you help me with this

    I would say that Avast has quarantined (effectively deleted) some system files important XP (he is known for this).

    I have a few dozen c000021a errors in my notes, you must provide the exact error message that you see.  Note that these are zeros, not OHS.  I have a curious why would you only provide part of the message see you and wait to help us?

    If yous system isn't bootm, the response from the Microsoft support engineer doesn't help.  Even if your system does not start, it would be still useless.  It is however the first article of KB Microsoft coming in a Bing search engine, but that's not good.  Don't waste your time on these responses.

    Here is an example, and we need something like that on your part:

    STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
    The Windows logon process ended unexpectedly with the status of 0xc0000034 (0 x 0000000 0000000 x 0).
    The system has been shut down.

    Then, you will need to answer these questions to the best you can:

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  • Unable to access Windows XP after you download Service Pack 3, asking login that wasn't Setup previously

    I downloaded the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition and now whenever I go on the computer I am prompted with a screen Windows Log In with owner under the user name and the screen is demanding a password.

    I have never set up a password and the other never needed before but now cannot access the windows that I can not connect.
    Any help?

    Hello Stephen,

    Try to login as an administrator and update the password for your limited account or try to start your system in safe mode and see if you can log in as an administrator.

    If you are on the home screen, you press CTRL + ATL + DEL (combination of three keys) twice to access the login prompt. Also confirm if you can change your username and login from there.
