• Windows Vista keeps freezing on me if I leave it alone for 15 minutes or just when ever

  Need help my computer keeps freezing on me if I leave it alone for 15 minutes or I'll watch a video in full screen and when I try to close it freezes. So I do not know what to do, system restore or what? On a side note do not know if it related to the top of my sound on the icon on the taskbar icon tasks and the network displayed sometimes.

  Hi Samurai14,

  If the steps provided Mick did not help, it is possible that your Windows installation is damaged. The following link has instructions on how to reinstall Windows Vista:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  If after a reinstall, you still have problems with Windows freeze, it is most likely hardware related and you should contact the manufacturer of your system for further assistance.

• My Dell Inspiron 15R keeps freezing now after 15-30 minutes?

  I have a Dell Inspiron 15R a couple of months and now it keeps freezing after about 15-30 minutes. I can't do anything while it is frozen even not Ctr + Alt + Delete or move my mouse. It gets really frustrating because I always manually close my laptop. I scanned with Malwarebytes and security Eset, but Malware bytes is not found and I'm never able to complete the scan with Eset as my laptop freezes during this period. I checked the logs that Eset had done since my last scan and it said it deleted 5 threats it found, but my laptop still keeps freezing. I also tried the automatic "Microsoft Let Me Fixit" but he could not find anything. Please help I need an answer because I can't deal with this more!

  Thank you

  I have Windows Vista on my Sony VAIO laptop. Lately my computer literally freezes every 5 seconds when I click out of around.

• My laptop keeps freezing a few minutes after opening.

  Data sheet:

  Acer Aspire EA40_HC model E1

  with Intel Core i3-2348 M @ 2.30 GHz CPU processor

  and Intel HD 3000 Graphics

  Windows 8 Pro

  RAM: 4.00 (2.58 GB usable)

  System type: 32-bit operating system, x 64 based processor

  ========================

  One day, I was playing CS, everything's fine, it works well, I know that my pc is not the best for playing games, I'm running with fps constant of 40-60 which is not obtained, but not bad either. I removed my battery of laptop, but kept plugged in because I know that if you kept it loads during use, it can decrease the life of the battery power. A few hours later in the game, my laptop just turned off. I don't know why, maybe the charger has been moved and unplugged then I checked. He was actually plugged in nice and safe, and I don't think it was the cause of the laptop to turn off or maybe it was. Then I turned on my laptop. Every thing seems fine but the 'Welcome' screen any longer that it was. A minutes and continues the 'welcome' to display. I know something was wrong because who usually took only a few seconds to load. I turned off my pc and opened it again. Nothing had changed, it is still stuck on the Welcome screen. So I waited a little longer, now 3 minutes, I saw the circle of loading thingy is frozen and non-mobile.

  I'm a little worried that I just broke my laptop, I tried a few corrections in the internet, but I can't find. I went advanced startup settings and did a system restore and choose the settings of only a few days.
  The system recovery succeeded. I restarted my PC, I was so happy that I fixed it, for so I thought it was. I open Google chrome, but as soon as I pressed the Enter key everything froze. Same office does not. I restarted my pc again. The start-up took a little longer. After going on the office a few minutes later the pc simply froze again. I can't do anything. I've been waiting so he could meet again for 10 minutes and still frozen. I restarted my pc and was able to put it in SafeMode before it froze again. And everything works fine in safe mode. I can still surf the internet but can't actually play cs: go in what is sad. I can still play undertale but which is nice. When I put back it in normal mode, it keeps freezing after a few minutes.

  If someone out there who can help me understand what causes this and how to solve my problem I would appreciate it a lot! :)

  Too long and did not read?: my PC turns off suddenly, when I boot it its stuck at welcome screen upward.

  Did a system restore and solved the problem but now it keeps freezing and not responding do not.

  Set it in safe mode and everything is fine but only limited.

  If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

  If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

  If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

  If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
  • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

  "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

• My Windows 7 keeps freezing after 5 to 20 minutes.

  Hello

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 15R under Windows 7 Home Premium. The problem is that it freezes sometimes after about 5-20 minutes or more. I ran various tests with different anti-virus programs antivirus and always they detected nothing unexpected (Malware Bytes, Eset antivirus). I was wondering if someone could help me with this because today I had to reboot my computer more than 12 times. Also, when it is frozen I can't do anything at all except the press and hold the power button until the laptop turns off. It is a real pain so if I could get an answer as soon as POSSIBLE, that would be wonderful!
