• Windows hangs / freezes randomly (RESOLVED)

  Hello!
  My computer hangs / freezes randomly every day. This started happening after a Windows Update. Please don't tell me to mess with my computer because I am 100% sure that it is not the computer, it's Windows. Please help me, I can't take it anymore!

  IMPORTANT EDIT: (the above problem is SOLVED) ignore this problem above and help me with this other problem, you can:
  I have another problem, one that I have had since I have this PC. I lose my Internet connection randomly without any reason, this happens especially when I play multiplayer games. The router still works, there is still Internet (in my iPhone, iPad, another PC), but my PC says:
  
  "Network 2".
  "No. Internet access"

  I use the internet cable. The cable is properly connected and I tried to solve the problems, but didn't work.

  So can you please ignore the last problem and help me with this one?

  Thank you in advance!

  I have not had the opportunity to try, but if you have access to another machine, you should be able
  do a repair reinstall of Windows by installing your HARD drive on this computer, unless activation
  You can do it on another machine.
  Once you move the HARD drive to your machine things should be fine,
  and if you reactivate Windows it should pose no problems.
  The 'install, upgrade and activate' instance should be people who can check it out.
  Or - if you have another HARD drive install Windows to this as a test (assuming the rest of the machine
  Awake quite a long time to complete the installation :)). If the machine still locks with a clean base
  installation of the material becomes more suspicious.

  You will need to answer a few questions over early to help in the process of elimination.
  Behind closed doors are not uncommon when focusing on a machine with a game, but randomly at any time the camera can come from many things are so difficult to solve.

  Some of what I read the PSU Chieftek should be a good diet, but the review below
  find a problem with the application of current stable - (turbo Cheiftek 850W series)
  «The voltage drop is very high, unacceptable thing for a PSU 850w which is intended for the high-end systems that require a stable power supply.» Also with more than 80% of the charges, the readings of voltage of 12v lines are far from regulation ATX. Despite the fact that the pc continued to work normally, no one would have a power with this voltage drop. I would like to have the equipment to measure the ripple also. »
  While Chieftek is apparently made by the mfg even as some brands that are more
  known in my part of the world (Oz), an unstable current is often caused by markets good components (coils and capacitors), but even a good quality diet (any PC component) may be faulty from the start, and camera are a common symptom of a failed power.
  If the power supply was the problem and the system hangs even when not under duress, you do
  have a very real need to fear a crash while performing a repair reinstall. Full backup of data

• My new installation of Windows 7 freezes randomly,

  My new installation of Windows 7 randomly freezes, the screen goes black and says "no signal".

  I can't turn off my computer except by disconnecting it., which means that the power button does nothing.
  I did a clean reboot with all the MS drivers without disabilities and she always does, so it is not a software conflict according to Ms.
  I am quite at a loss of what to do now; self-help told to ask here.
  I see a lot of complaints of this nature but no resolution. Very frustrated.
  Can someone please?

  Right now I have disabled all features of sleep on hard disks and screens and power. Also, I took leave fan I added via a double fan--> cord a brooch that I just bought. So far he collapsed again and it's good at the time, I started to wait for an accident. I will continue for a few days like that and then if all goes well, I will add back the fan see what's happening, and then after that undo the change of parameters of power, I did.

• Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
  I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

  However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

  After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

  If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

  Hope to hear from someone soon,

  Flashback

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
  High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

  Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

• S50D-a satellite freezes randomly

  Hi all

  S50D-A, a week ago, I bought a Satellite.

  The machine freezes randomly. This happens about 6 - 8 times during a working day.

  When it freezes the cursor still moves but I can not even access Task Manager. Usually it will restart after a few minutes, sometimes it will jump out of it.

  The PC temporarily froze all by writing this!

  This is a brand new machine and it happened since the day 1, nor the hour 1 even.

  I hope you guys and girls can help.

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. All we has own configuration software and favorite of the BONE, and we don't know how looks like the configuration of your operating system.
  Maybe did you install additional software that is running in the background?

  Try disabling the Windows automatic update and set it to manual control. Laptop is new and maybe a lot of downloads running in the background. Processor and HARD drive can be highlighted and the result is the gel.

  Play with these settings and try to find out why this happen.

• Satellite L450D keeps freezing randomly

  Hello

  I recently bought a L450D refurbished: Win 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, 2.1 Ghz AMD dual core, it works much faster than my Toshiba 1 year anyway.

  The problem is, it keeps freezing randomly. When this happens the screen looks like the picture in the link, mouse and keyboard are completely insensitive, but I left it and the battery is flat it beep?

  

  So far I've only updated windows, it is the partition of Toshiba hard disk but f8 during the startup does not seem to do anything and when I tried to write the recovery disc it burned but said unable to end of file during the verification step.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,
  Thank you

  Hello

  Mobile on the photo looks like a problem with a graphics chip.

  Maybe the laptop freezes because of the high temperature of the GPU. What do you think that?

  Have you noticed a higher temperature?

  If Yes, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air you should also try an update of the display.

• Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

  We have several Tecra S10 and S11. Freezing randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it throughout the day.

  The Tecra is all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32-bit installation. After installation of Windows 7, we have removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc.), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and Microsoft put updated laptops. So far so good.

  However, after a week or two just work in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Same ctrl + alt + delete does not work. The Tecra should be forced to turn off the power, press and hold the power button.

  Everyone recognizes these "frozen moments". It's very annoying.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  Always it is that Office is preinstalled on almost all laptops Toshiba so I did not thing your laptops can be somewhat different.

  Maybe something else responsible for this?
  Maybe are all connected to your business LAN and there is a problem.
  Are connected external devices which can be responsible for this?
  Maybe some internal software of the company is blocking something.

  It is not easy to say what he can be.

  Have you done tests in the past to see what can be the problem?

  Hello

  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains all drivers Toshiba, tools and utilities, and other patches of Microsoft Windows.
  In my opinion your device freezes on the original Windows installation because Toshiba stuff was not fully installed and/or some Microsoft updates fails.
  The order of the proper installation of application of Toshiba is also necessary to use the laptop without interruptions or errors.
  In this case I would recommend urgent to use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  You also suggested that you used the Windows Vista Beta 2 version.
  I read a lot of comments here in the forum about the using Vista at the moment. Always is that this OS is not official on the market and it is not working properly because there BETA Version.
  I think that we must wait for the right drivers and, finally, the version of Vista

  This strangely similar to malware - possibly a rogue screensaver among others.

• Hanging of freezing, random R61

  I bought December ' 07 7742-CTO. It has Nvidia Quadro NVS 140 m, preloaded with XP Pro. Now that it is out of warranty, it has started to freeze randomly. No matter if the R61 is connected to the battery, in slow time or opportunity of the day, etc. It's typical scenario: I look at the time of Windows in the system tray and see that this is incorrect (stuck at the time of the accident), the mouse is mobile but the next click will be freeze/hang up the system. Only solution is to hard reboot. The frequency of gel is passed once / week several times / day.

  Then, let me say that I have a lot of technical experience with a PC. The BIOS and drivers are all the latest news from Lenovo. All the Microsoft critical updates are applied. I scanned for viruses and malware so that scrubbed the registry. In addition, here are a few other tactics I've tried:

  (1) fully tested RAM

  (2) I tried different RAM

  (3) traded adapters CA / CC and tried inserted battery and battery removed

  (4) different hard drives

  (5) AHCI, change in compatibility mode

  (6) removed, inspected, and cleaned Fan-Heatsink

  (7) again a thermal conductive grease on CPU and GPU

  (8) PC Doctor Diagnostics on the system powered up to nothing

  (9) the Nvidia and NVSC Service startup items disabled

  I even tried to start diagnosis by using MSConfig and minimum startup items and it freezes again. I suspect that the NVidia NVS 140 m GPU is bad. Someone out there with similar problems?

  No one answered, but the problem is solved. The R61 has thermal problems. I installed ThinkPad Fan Control, which is a part of 3rd freeware utility and to keep the Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU in reasonable time. Freeze either. Don't know why Lenovo stock in place was not able to avoid overheating, but the laptop is solid as a rock now.

• Vista Ultimate x 64 freezes randomly even when you are not running applications

  I feel the random system freezes from my PC. My PC Spec is below. Even if being run without applications and the system is on the desktop system will freeze randomly (can not move the mouse and the keyboard does not respond) and will force me to restart the system manually. I noticed an error message in the event viewer what cultures upward each time that this gel coming and I was wondering if you could provide me with a solution?

  Filter event with the query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Processor' AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace '//./root/CIMV2' because of error 0 x 80041003.» Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is resolved.
  

  I have included my PC specs and components below, but it is unlikely to be a hardware problem most of the time, even when focusing on the computer with 'memtest' etc it will not break.

  Hello

  Try the clean boot method, which is a process of elimination to see what could be the cause
  the question. Pilots also have an influence on the performance of the system so I would update those
  as well.

  Norton has been known to cause strange problems on some systems, so I would use the
  Norton Removal Tool to check its impact. The following recommendations for free
  replacements, so you have good protection while check you this. Download all
  replacements before you remove Norton and install after removing and resetting.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN
  (Norton Removal Tool and others)

  -------------------------------------------------

  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 leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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
  right of IE)

  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, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - free - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD protection, working with the other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here or
  Use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  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
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.
