Hi Larrydak,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

When this happens (when the computer is idle for a period of time or that you are working on)?

This happens when you do something in particular or it occurs randomly?

You can check in the event viewer to see if an application is causing the problem.

To open Event Viewer

1. click on the Start button.

2. click on Control Panel.

3. go to the system and security.

4. Select Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

You can also try to put the computer to boot and check if all background programs is causing this issue. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

The steps to perform a clean boot are given below:

1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue

3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

 

Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

Once you start office check if the problem persists, follow the steps in the article and find out which program is causing the problem.

For more information about the clean boot, follow the below given link:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart

Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows 7 crashes from time to time

    I use Windows 7 Enterprise edition Lenovo y 500 laptop. System crashes from time to time. Sometimes it freezes when you type in word / excel... Sometimes it freezes when idle (no activity is done). It happened several times and this experience, I think that is not casued by any specific program. Recent example is as a song is played in windows media player. The song ended and after two minutes hanged.

    The machine is five years and is. There may be a lot of dust on the inside and on the fins of the CPU cooling. Dust can enter the RAM slots fits, so pulling on the plunger and brushing up on the lunges re-allocation places can improve the contact, but dust the rest before (not with a vacuum cleaner - use a brush or air) cleaning grooves and re-seats of the RAM.

    82 c is quite high. While not enough to cook your cpu never machine go a lot of 60-70 ° C (day 30-C) under high load. Currently, mine is at 33 c (temperature ambient about 20 + C) and should peak at around 45 c under heavy load. While laptops do not have effective cooling as a PC
    your processor runs at only 34W compared to my 95W cpu and would generate much less heat.

    What AV uses all your cpu?  Monopoly$ ofts free "Security Essentials"
    AV is good, so is Avast free home version.
    BTW - I just ran Avast AV. It uses up to 50% of cpu (quad core, but I think that he moderates use according to the processor uses) and raised the temperature by C. 7
    .
    It can be misleading to think that some resources are not pointed at
    the time of an accident that there is no link with when the use of resources was higher a few moments before. Use, or an event preceding the accident may have led to instability.

    Safe boot mode allows you to troubleshoot as not all services and drivers
    are loaded in safe mode. If Windows is running on only the basics and
    has problems, then you must look in the boot or start thinking about material defects (old machine - perhaps power or disk HARD 5 years).
    Clean boot is similar, but helps many with the software that runs in the background when loading Windows and which may be in conflict with another software or just stealing resources (your AV).
    Each open application uses at least a small amount of RAM, and with several open browsers or tabs you can soon use a good portion of your memory of 2 GB.

    What will be the exact command instead (archivelog from time ' SYSDATE-3' ;) ")

    OPTIMIZATION will ignore all files already saved, so ignore the archivelogs already backed up since a previous backup.

    However, given that optimization will not work with THE syntax of the TIME, you must specify your backup as a block:

    run
    {
    backup as compressed backupset
    device type disk
    tag "daily_archivelog"
    format '/sw/daily11_archivelog_%d_t%t_c%c_s%s_p%p'
    archivelog all;

  • Satellite L855-123 freezes from time to time

    Hello

    My laptop freezes from time to time, especially just after that is (re) starts. Most of the time the audio or the video freezes for a few seconds (any program I use), it affects everything else too (for example, when music freezes, google chrome will act weird as well), but I am able to move as much as I please.

    In Event Viewer, there is a lot of "iastor, id: 9" since the 20th of this month (the day all gel started to happen). But as of yesterday, it seems to be have been replaced by "atapi, id: 11» I don't have any new software before all this happened?

    I looked around and tried a couple things that have helped others: off Link State Power Management; made sure all drivers have been updated; Uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Nothing seems to work here however.

    If all goes well, there is something else I could try before I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling windows 7 or get new hardware.

    Thank you.

    I guess you do not reproduce this problem of gel.
    It very difficult to talk about issues that cannot be reproduced or occur occasionally.

    But you mentioned the 'file iastor in your ad.
    Iastor belongs to the Intel AHCI / RAID or SATA driver package.

    So I think that the problem is related to the HARD drive or the HARD disk controller.
    I recommend you update Intel® Matrix Storage Manager and Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to the latest version (check page Intel).

    If this is insufficient, recover laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.
    In case this is not enough, you should check if the internal HARD drive might be the occasional reason for this system of freezing.

  • Portege M400: Black screen from time to time

    Hello!

    I have a little problem with my Portege M400 Tablet PC. The laptop runs great most of the time. Unfortunately, from time to time, the screen goes all black - or to be more precise, the screen shows up again. In most cases, the display has been disabled by my energy saving profile, and when I try to put the screen back on (for example by moving the slider or press any key, just like usual), the screen remains black. I see that the computer works and I can for example hibernate the computer, but even after waking up, the screen is always black. Also, it does not help to change the power profile or output or anything - the screen remains like that until I restart the computer.

    I have the new bios 1.80 (because of the better fan control) and I updated the Intel chipset drivers already (I've had the problem before, so it is not the update of drivers). Any idea that he might be, perhaps the bios (it was the first thing I installed after the purchase of the laptop I knew before the fan will be strong otherwise).

  • video in fullscreen makes computer freeze from time to time

    Recently, my computer started to glitch during playback of videos and sometimes even in music.  When the video is full-screen every minute half-minute or so it will freeze for a few seconds, causing the audio quickly repeating sound like a 'd.d.d.d.d.d.d' that lasts a few seconds and then play the movie as usual.  When I reduce the video so it does not have the full screen it time very well provided that this is under a certain size.  When this product problem however it freezes the computer as even the mouse still motionless and then jump to a new location once the computer resumes.  I don't think that this is a problem with the CPU or everything that I tried to run several large programs and max on the CPU and it won't.  Sometimes, it will however while that a video youtube as well.  I checked my card graph and other drivers and they are all up to date, the only thing I found which could be the cause is Health Center says Windows "Intel Graphics Driver has stopped working" I tried using the problem solver is but there is not a solution for this and I reinstalled the drivers anyway and he's always done.  I don't know if this is the problem or not, however, like the date, he says that this problem has occurred does not correspond with me trying it to watch videos.  I would also like to add that this problem happens more frequently when I watch the movie then using VLC with windows media player.  A movie on VLC, I played was actually almost constantly, while Windows Media Player played the film very well.  Although, as I said, Windows Media Player still does from time to time as well and I tried reinstalling VLC and loaded a completely new player to see if it was her and she is always natural.  I have not downloaded programs that I could create a conflict either.  In any case, I'm at a loss and if this problem is not indeed my computer use normal it doesn't stop me from watching movies I really love so any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
