• Windows Vista constant freeze, crash and random reboot

  My Windows Vista computer is constantly freezing crashing (with blue screen) and sometimes restart automatically (and it's not because of Windows updates).

  I've had the computer for about a year and a half and it has been very good. Recently it started to happen. One thing I found out that there some registry errors and I tried to fix this, but the computer not work long enough.
  If someone could help me that would be great!

  Hello

  The issue could be caused or worsened by all these antivirus programs.

  You shouldn't have 2, still minus 3, antivirus programs on the computer
  at the same time even if they are not all running. They will be still responsible for pieces of
  themselves which can cause strange problems actually lower and your
  security that they will not interfere with each other.

  I uninstall McAfee and AVG and then run the withdrawal of their creator

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they

• KB915597 cause windows vista to freeze

  KB915597 for Windows Defender update causes Windows Vista to freeze.  At all times, I have to restart my computer for this reason.  And I can't uninstall Windows Defender because it is now integrated into Windows Vista.  In addition, I can not uninstall the update.  If ever I have to reinstall windows again and uncheck automatic updates, so I can make sure that this update is downloaded or simply live with the question until Microsoft fixes it.  Microsoft has released a fix for this error yet?  There is nothing wrong with my laptop because I just erased the hard drive and reinstalled vista.  I actually discovered this by accident because I reinstalled my operating system before but this freeze happening started and I thought it was a problem of Dell Update.

  This is information from Dell:
  Press the NumLock key on your Dell laptop
  In order to have the features of a 101 keyboard keys on a laptop key 85, the NumLock key active keyboard 10 key functions that would be normally resident on the right side of a standard keyboard. Simply press again to return to normal operation

  I don't know if it will help your problem.

  There is a link to the Dell Diagnostics to see if there is a hardware problem:

• Vista Start, freeze at loading green bar screen then blue and then restart

  Sorry if this is a repost, I look for a solution to this for 2 days on various forums and have not experienced this problem yet.
  I got my PC for about a year, it is a free version, it worked without any problems until a couple of weeks, where it started to slow down like crazy. Unfortunately, I was in College at the time and my brother does me on issues. It would essentially work normally (but a bit slow) and then freeze every few seconds. Once he was able to start - I think that the error message was that the boot files were corrupt or something, but it was an a stop.

  After about 3 weeks of slow driving, it has started to do the following:

  I turn it on and it tries to start. The progress bar green for microsoft vista comes up for a few seconds, then a blue screen of death hot flushes (too fast to read anything on this subject) upward and the PC restarts.
  If I try to start in safe mode it freezes while it lists the drivers
  its loading. The latest display driver is constantly crcdisk.sys. (I tried all security modes and last good config without result).

  I put in the recovery disc, choose the language and click Windows repair.
  The next dialog box is called System Recovery Options. The problem that I get here, it's that there are no operating system in the list. It says that I should look for the hard disk drivers, but I don't know how to find them. My drive is a 1 to seagate barracuda.

  Wierdly when I choose the option to install as if I was going to do a complete reinstall did it come with a disk of 1 TB on options and drive didn't spent the short seatools test. When I tried the seatools long test program frozen before the same test started.

  The hard drive has a lot of photos and I don't want to lose so I'm hesitant to do a complete reinstall.

  I also was not able to run a memory test because I can't find the memory test facility in my BIOS. I found once, but can't seem to figure out where it is more. The motherboard is the gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I think you have a hardware problem with your hard drive.  You need to consider (the system) to a competent computer repair shop for service, repair or replacement (or you can send it to the manufacturer for service - check on prices, warranties and other times before deciding).  A problem of crcdisk.sys is typical disc hard problem (but it may be other things) - but your problem description convince me that it's the hard drive.

  If you can make a drive on another computer, make a recovery disk using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with the burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps made on another computer).  One of the options on this disc is a Test of memory, so you can at least try it - but the problem is probably not the RAM, but rather the hard drive.

  You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (done from another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to back up your important data, unless the hard drive is so far that even if it won't let you. You can try to slave the drive to another computer and see if you can access the data in this way - if so, at least you will be able to backup your data.  If this isn't the case, I'm afraid only a data recovery technician can help and they are very expensive and do not guarantee the results - but the decision is yours.

  At this point, if you want you can try a reinstall full (if it works) have nothing to lose. If it works fine.  Is that the problem persists, then it's almost certainly the hard drive.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  There is a bug in bookmarks. I use Firefox 19, one a Mac and firefox 20 on the other. Whenever I arrange my bookmarks in the relevant files by using the "bookmark manager" (that is, sort them manually), each bookmark a few minutes Manager freezes and does not respond. This clear gel through things like - being not able to scroll upwards or downwards, not being is not able to move files in a particular folder and so on. Its frustrating... as I constantly have to wait until what it thaws. It happens every time! Have tried disabling add-ons that might have had problems, but it did not help...

  How many bookmarks do you have?

  Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

  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
  Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right
  Click on - 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 on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

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

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

  I have an inspiron 1525 with Vista installed on it.  If I leave my computer be for about 30 minutes then it freezes.  Today, I've been using Microsoft Word and again once it froze while I was in the middle of a project.  I used a registry cleaner from the Microsoft One Care and the problem still persists.  I am currently in safe mode now and it still froze, but I'll let it be by itself and see if it freezes or not.  I don't know what I have to do.  Is - it there anyway anyone can help me out here and point me in the right direction?

  Hello Mike,.

  As a general rule, when you run a computer in Mode safe the suspect will be software or a driver that is used for a specific part of the material. Have you tried a boot clean and troubleshooting session with your machine to determine the program or driver that could be the cause of the problem? Instructions are below that describes this process. Let us know if that helps.
