• 8.1 Windows hangs at random times on Satellite C50D-A-133

  Hi all

  I had this problem for awhile now.

  I bought a new laptop Toshiba C50D-A-133 with 8.1 Windows pre-installed in December.
  The problem is that Windows 8.1 hangs at random times.

  More frequently, watching a movie in Media Player, listen to music or browsing Web sites.
  The only thing I can do during a freeze, is to move the cursor.

  But I can't click on anything - it does not.
  Time to 'freeze' varies - it may take 30 seconds or even up to 5 minutes.
  After that, he usually "unfreezes" and everything works well again or restart the laptop on its own.
  There are times, I have 3-4 freezes for an hour and there are times that there is only a single gel in eight hours.

  All drivers (graphics, card WiFi, sound card, etc.) are up to date.
  I checked the system for malware and viruses - it wasn't all.
  I have all the Windows updates.

  I don't know, what is the source of this problem?
  It's really annoying.

  I will be grateful for any advice.

  I guess that no one will be able to say exactly what is the source of this gel.

  From my point of view, you should first check if this isn't software related issue.
  In many cases of system problems could lead to as annoying behavior for laptop and this is why I would recommend you to Reset (to recover) the system back to factory settings.

  From my understanding in the case where the gel is related to the problem system, return to factory settings should to fix this

• My OS windows 7 freezes randomly.

  I can restart only by pressing the power button. It also does not save user names and passwords even if I permanently authorizes to invite when appears. I cleaned up in selective upward startup so that only windows programs run msconfig. I always struggle with the gel so I do not think it is the substance of the issues of program. I use MS Security Essentials as my antivirus, that's all.

• My new installation of Windows 7 freezes randomly,

  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 see a lot of complaints of this nature but no resolution. Very frustrated.

• Windows 7 freezing randomly

  Hello MS community.

  I encounter frequently my computer W7 gel over anything.

  I've read several several Web sites, their solutions, but some of them that I'm not sure and other I don't think that would work. I run Defraggler and defragged my PC and ran virus scans with MalwareBytes, Avast and N360 Power Eraser, so you can take slow computers and malware on the problem. Safe mode freezes ever so I guess it's something when I boot to normal mode. It doesn't freeze, as soon as I connect, it freezes usually about 20-30 minutes.

  Can I get help?

• Of FTDI FT232R hangs / freeze randomly LabVIEW

  Hello.

  I created a program to display and record humidity and temperature sensors using the FT232R of FTDI chip (http://www.ftdichip.com/)

  I used to build the DAQ.vi example 1 FTDI, which can be downloaded here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/CodeExamples/LabVIEW.htm

  The DAQ.vi with the fact that I have a problem is attached here.

  What is happening is that from time to time (may take 10 minutes or can last 10 hours) the program suddenly crashes / gel, and to resolve I have to unplug and connect the USB cable to the FT232R. When I did, the program starts working again, but I lost all the data of the gel time.

  Anyone know this problem using FTDI chips, or has an idea of what could be the problem? And there at - it an easy way to know if the bug is hardware or software?

  I have appreaciate help!

  NB: I know the attached .vi isn't waiting time between writing and reading, but I had the same problem when you use so the waiting time.

  Hello

  You have not included the SubVIs in your program.  Therefore, it is difficult to guess what could be the problem.

  As he is a serial device, I suggest you look into the viewfinder of the example to the example of the series in read/write.  You will absolutely need a delay any between send a command to your device and receive a response.

• 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.

  Original title: windows 7 freezes, but still run.

  Please excuse my bad English

  Hello.

  I have a very complex problem that is hard to explain and that seems to be very rare:

  It's the fourth day in a row that my windows laptop crashes randomly for a few seconds. When the problem starts, first my taskbar freezes so I can't click on anything. Then the entire screen seems to freeze with her, but the applications are still running. When it's cold, my mouse works, but I can't click on anything. When I try to open the by typing CTRL + ALT + DELETE Task Manager, the options are frozen. Then, when I go to my desktop and click on a random point on the screen, left click becomes a right click.

  Another thing of fanny, is that my Touchpad mouse does not seem to understand my hand movements. I can move only the mouse itself, but any clicks with her. It is also included the two bottom below him, with does not work as well.

  I tried to reboot the system ranging from a week in time, but the problem continues. I then tried to make the C drive error checking, but no change.

  I know that I do not have a virus, because I scanned my computer several times after that the problem began.

  It said at the same time.

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

• HP Pavilion dv7 Freeze random/Lockup

  My computer freezes randomly. What is happening is that I'm doing something that I do as usual check Facebook or some other normal Web site and it just randomly freezes. I have no idea what is the cause, and he never blue screens. What happens is:

  • All open windows are "reduced" (on the dock, they show also open)
  • My desktop turns black and has no basis on this subject
  • The mouse goes to the center of the screen
  • The mouse and keyboard freeze
  • and above the battery icon, there are random letters that always read "sRpIg".

  Here's a picture of him. My outdoor camera does not work on my phone so it looks weird.

  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

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

  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.

• Computer HPp6203 of desktop screen freezes randomly

  Original title: windows 7 freeze

  I have a high HPp6203 desktop screen freezes at random no program special time frame or action. Unable to move anything or courier. Just before that happens blue circle appears next to Messenger then it freezes. No new software has been installed. Start button / Stop button to clear. Works fine in safe mode. He had already done once before and I restored it at the earlier time and it changed but now it won't let me restore uniquement3 days before and always an error if the restoration is never completed.  Thank you Gary

  Hi G Conrad, j.

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  I would appreciate it if you could provide the error message to better support on the issue. In addition, I would like you to answer the following questions to refine the question.

  • You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
  • You are able to use the system anyway after the system hangs at startup?

  There are a few reasons your computer might hang, freeze, or crash. So I would say, you can remove the external devices except the mouse and keyboard, try the following steps and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
  Start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

  If method 1 does not work, see the steps in the following link and check if they are useful.
