Why did Windows 7 freezing when using Firefox?

S ' went for months now with many attempts to identify the cause. Came to the conclusion that it is Firefox but can't understand why.
-If you use Firefox, my whole PC, not only Firefox freezes. Sometimes in the first 5 minutes of use of Firefox, other times it can happen an hour in a session. A hard reboot is the only way to get back to my Office I waited an hour before, after a freeze and nothing happens. The mouse pointer move, nothing.
D ' first thought it was a hardware problem or a problem of antivirus protection.
-Reinstalled windows on three different hard disks that all have the disk check. Still happens
-Installed windows 8 to see if this could solve the problem. Nope, did the same thing on Windows 8.
-Ran Memtest 86 + 14 hours overnight to see if it was my memory. No, zero found errors of memory
-To be sure I even tried to use only a strip of ram in my PC at the same time to see if the chopsticks were bad. No, it froze with each stick
-Tried to change my anti-virus. He froze with every single one, AVG Free, Avast free, Microsoft Security Essentials.
-J' realized that my PC freezes only when I'm on the web in firefox. If I use chrome or Internet explorer, it doesn't happen. These total PC freezes happen when I use firefox.
-My only adds on / plug that I use is Adblock more and more those who come with default Firefox.
-My firefox is updated, I reset and reinstalled [everything by adding only Ad Block +] and again, this does not solve the problem
-In the event log window, the only thing that happens every time my PC freezes is the error "Session"Microsoft Security customer OOBE"stopped because of the following error: 0xC000000D", why this would affect Firefox, I don't know.
-I would like to understand the cause of this because I really want to use Firefox again.

I finally understood that Firefox isn't the problem with this problem, but it's actually the Nvidia drivers. It's a shame as Nvidia pushes the hard driver updates. Drivers to eliminate this problem are 314.22. After you have uninstalled the latest drivers and replacing them with 314.22 I did have the problem at all in any program, including Firefox.

Here's a thread from Nvidia on the issue.

https://forums.GeForce.com/default/topic/596642/GeForce-drivers/please-help-event-ID-14-from-source-nvlddmkm-cannot-be-found/2/

I had to replace a lot of my material before I figured out it was the Nvidia drivers because I don't have the correct error message on my old set up which pointed me in the direction of the video card.

If someone has this problem I highly recommend demotion to 314.22 driver version if you have a Nvida GPU in your system.

I'm very disappointed in Nvidia for not solving this problem after 15 + updated since 314.22 driver.

    You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

    I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.

  • Why my windows keep freezing?

    Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.

  • Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

    Hello

    I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

    Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

    I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

    Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

    It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
    M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

    The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

    All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

    I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi jscher2000

    I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

    I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

    I am now free twinkle

    Thanks for your quick response however.

  • Outlook has started to get a connection not approved when using firefox

    Outlook started having no reliable connection error when using firefox. Not sure why it started, but all the few minutes that it times out and I have to re - open outlook from google. He does not receive this error on IE or firefox android. I use win 7. I talked with microsoft and they say it's a problem of firefox not outlook.

    I tried the things:
    -Updated firefox
    -Updated antivirus
    -antivirus scans
    -disable the anti-virus
    -from firefox in safe mode.
    -clear all the cache and history
    -Disable all add-ons
    -system restore
    -past by mistake "untrusted connection" on the help of mozilla (does not solve it. There is no option to allow the certificate)
    -search on the net for a similar problem (found nothing)

    So far, it has been like this for a week and its starting to piss me off as it happened out of the blue.

    I solved the problem for someone else who has the same problem.

  • Excel crashing, freezing when using the spreadsheet

    Original title: Excel 2013 file size.

    Hello. I'm having a problem with Excel crashing, freezing when using the spreadsheet. I work on a PC with WINDOWS 7 SP1 64-bit, through a server that is running Microsoft SERVER 2013, WINDOWS 7 PRO 64 BIT SP1. We use 5 PC via all current server running the same version of operating system that use the spreadsheet and in most is used only by 3 PCs anywhere, anytime, even if EXCEL is not on the server, it is running locally on the PC.

    My guy TI tell me the spreadsheet while working on too big to 2 k! They keep asking us to reduce the size and to separate the workbook to solve the problem. Personally I don't believe a Word, we do not use formulas etc just cells with digital text and the alphabet.

    Now last year on the advice of our computer SCIENCE company, we have been advised to upgrade our server and our PC because terminals that they were getting their limit of operation which I accepted. These have been updates middle of last year.

    On this basis, I believe that society COMPUTER trying to throw dust on my eyes as I do not think that they provided the wrong material and are unwilling to admit it.

    Counsel on the question worksheet would be great I need to come back with some kind of evidence in support of my way of thinking.

    I hope that makes sense, I know a little but not professional!

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

    Hi, a recurring problem - when using Firefox on my Android Web site, are often distorted. If I try to zoom before to increase the size of police or image during playback, the screen breaks and distorts, with different sections of text and images disappear (black sections of the screen appear) or overlapping, often in a different font sizes. The Web site displayed on the screen as "jumps around." The same thing happens if I try to select text for copy - it is impossible to select all or selection is distorted. I have not had this problem before and noticed only recently. Almost impossible to use the browser now! What is the result of an automatic update of the software? Help, please! Thank you.

  • Why Google Image Search freezes up when using Firefox?

    During the execution of an Image via Google in Firefox search it temporarily freezes or becomes constantly slow. I unchecked the hardware acceleration, as suggested by some, but it made no difference; My graphics drivers to date, I used Firefox worm. 23. I've updated when I first noticed the problem if it persists despite the update.

    I have no virus or threats on my PC.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  • How can I fix the redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

    I've redirected and/or pop ups using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. He started immediately with the download of the said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with this download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-start with Avast scan, as well as a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I always get the redirects or pop ups.

    A smart redirection (context sensitive) it's trying to get the money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, maybe] with the pop-up blocker probably integrated into Firefox, but Firefox Help leads me to an # 800 who offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with certified technicians as you will see in the chat below. He appeared as a function of Firefox, not a redirect.

    Just after the chat with the 800 suit, I opened FireFox and he went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a hash string more, which is perhaps how popups spreads?
    I'm from mozilla via a url and soon encouraged me to download the new version, saying a current obsolete. But he was not going to download it from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/

    He isn't very smart, it is also resistant to many software removal tools.

    What could suggest you? I tried not many of these tools yet.

    MySearchDial must have an entry in the Control Panel, but may also have fangs in your browsers.

    Control and cleanup that will take a few precautions. I suggest starting here:

    Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. Click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    Then, in Firefox, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.
