Windows is constantly freezing

Similar Questions

• IE 8 that I use with Windows XP constantly freezes and says that it is (no response).

  I have a little Acer One connected to my bigger screen.  I use the free version of AVG, I've read can cause problems and I have also read that I needed to update my version of Java and this could lead to freezing and no response in IE8.  Come to find out that I didn't even have Java so you download the version for my computer but nothing changed.  I need an answer to help my computer.  He arrived at the point where I can't even get anything without IE8 freezing and when I try to wait just outside, it will specify that it does not.

  Someone has fixes out there for this?  I ran the Microsoft Fix It tool - nothing.  I have disabled all addons just to see if it can help, but - nothing.  I am at a loss here.  Help, please.

  Thank you, joy

• Windows Vista constant freeze, crash and random reboot

  My Windows Vista computer is constantly freezing crashing (with blue screen) and sometimes restart automatically (and it's not because of Windows updates).

  I've had the computer for about a year and a half and it has been very good. Recently it started to happen. One thing I found out that there some registry errors and I tried to fix this, but the computer not work long enough.
  If someone could help me that would be great!

  Hello

  The issue could be caused or worsened by all these antivirus programs.

  You shouldn't have 2, still minus 3, antivirus programs on the computer
  at the same time even if they are not all running. They will be still responsible for pieces of
  themselves which can cause strange problems actually lower and your
  security that they will not interfere with each other.

  I uninstall McAfee and AVG and then run the withdrawal of their creator
  Tools to prevent the remains that can also cause strange problems.

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

  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 leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  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 protection CLOUD, working with 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  <-->

  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.

• Thunderbird barely works, constantly freezes

  Thunderbird freezes does not respond when I do anything, such as clicking something or even to move the mouse. It works very well for the first few seconds after it starts but slows down immediately and constantly freezes. I rebooted in safe mode and it seems to make the problem go away. I use McAfee anti virus and have it turned off in the menu Add on, but I'm having the same problem. I started having the problem this week. Thunderbird also now use about 30% of my cpu when it runs. I have a processor I7 with 8 GB of memory.

• Can't click links, constantly freezes

  I can usually click on text links, but the button links are unclickable since the last update. For example, buttons as one that says "Post Question" does not work on firefox. I had to switch to Opera just to be able to click the links. What has also been past more often since the update is firefox is constantly freezing, turning white and saying "not responding".

  It turns out that firefox fixed the problem of reset. I think it was the add ons or plug-ins because even in safe mode, I had the problem. Also tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox, does not always work. I did it just before your answer Fred, so I don't know if it's a working solution. Guess if someone else has this problem they could try it too.

  Thank you! I tried what you mentioned, nothing has worked... I plugged a usb keyboard and it works, so I'm starting to believe it could be a motherboard problem. I finally got windows xp pro installed, no conflicts in Device Manager, all the drivers are installed and now running smooth. I removed the keyboard, and re-set, all connections look good, but still not good. the synaptics keyboard works fine and both rt & lft click the buttons. I pulled the ram to inspect it, it's the right speed, ddr2700, and after running for an hour, it was cold to the touch! I'll try to get a new keyboard and replace it, their pretty good work, if still not good it becomes pieces on ebay... lol tx again... Marty

• KB915597 cause windows vista to freeze

  KB915597 for Windows Defender update causes Windows Vista to freeze.  At all times, I have to restart my computer for this reason.  And I can't uninstall Windows Defender because it is now integrated into Windows Vista.  In addition, I can not uninstall the update.  If ever I have to reinstall windows again and uncheck automatic updates, so I can make sure that this update is downloaded or simply live with the question until Microsoft fixes it.  Microsoft has released a fix for this error yet?  There is nothing wrong with my laptop because I just erased the hard drive and reinstalled vista.  I actually discovered this by accident because I reinstalled my operating system before but this freeze happening started and I thought it was a problem of Dell Update.

• Windows 7 keeps freezing during and after the connection

  So for the last two weeks, my computer (a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 laptop) has been having this problem.

  Whenever I try to start Windows, the computer freezes. Most of the time, I'll be able to connect in the first place and the desktop and the taskbar appears normal, but I won't be able to open all programs. The mouse will have a circle "loading" beside him who won't go away, will not come to the top of the start menu and the taskbar will be completely insensitive. When I move the cursor to the taskbar, the arrow usually turns into a circle of "loading". By pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete in the meantime does nothing. The only thing I can do is turn off the computer by pressing the power button.

  Sometimes I won't be able to connect at all. The desktop appears as a blank screen, either dark blue or black color. Sometimes the mouse cursor is sometimes visible and sensitive enough to be moved to the screen, sometimes that is not there or completely unresponsive. Whatever it is, there is absolutely nothing I can do when the computer is in this State.  Sometimes the Office does not at all, and I'll be stuck watching the blue 'Welcome' screen until I turn off the computer. Sometimes I can't even that, as the computer crashes as soon as I click on my user icon.

  These problems occur when I connect the guest too account. Sometimes they occur when I try to start the computer in Mode safe, but sometimes (usually after many frustrating attempts), I will be able to log in Mode safe mode normally. (Right now I'm in Mode safe mode with networking.) When I try to log on to the guest mode safe account, it always freezes before connect you or displays a message saying that there is "a mistake with the sense of service" or something like that.

  While in Safe Mode, I tried entering the system setup and turning off some startup programs. Who gets usually the computer working again for a little while, but after a few days problems reactivating. I also tried to do a restore of the system three times, but every time the restore has failed to occur due to errors (do not remember exactly what). The computer began working again after the attempt, but once more, the problems would be just begin again in a few days.

  What causes this problem, and what can I do to solve it for good?

  Hello

  It could be a particularly strong virus or malware. Safe mode, I would run my antivirus software on a deep, boot level scan. If you don't have an antivirus, I use and recommend Avast Free Edition: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html (only use the Direct download link).

  Other than your antivirus and also run it from Safe Mode, the following malware scanners:

  Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html ;  and,

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

  Again, use the Direct download link only. Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• The volume causes Windows Explorer to freeze

  Hi all

  A question I continue to meet is one which concerns the volume on my laptop controls.  Every now and then, when I try to adjust the volume of my computer, Windows Explorer will freeze.  When I try to click on the bar of Solution Explorer, I was informed that "Windows has stopped working", and I give myself the option to restart, closure or waiting so that he could respond.  I can shut down or restart and will unlock the bar, but any time I try to adjust the volume after this first occurrence will result in another gel.  Volume control by physical on my laptop volume button or the virtual volume mixer will produce the same result.
  Here are some specs...
  Software: Windows 7 Edition home premium (32 bit)
  Material: Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577
  It is a problem that happens erratically, but tends to occur more frequently when the laptop is unplugged.
  
  Can anyone give advice?

  Thank you, Pranav.

  I actually received a response from Technical Support for Windows earlier and it solved the problem!
  In this case, they said that i:
  First, back up all files.
  Then make a quick virus scan to search for threats.  A few should be ok, but 10 or more are a problem.
  Then, do an analysis of the file system to find all system files is damaged.  The scan detects and repairs.  To do:
  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
  And that solved it for me!

• Windows hangs or freezes randomly

  Original title: System problem

  I am using windows 7 ultimate and my computer freezes randomly over and over again after a few seconds, it starts normally

  Hi Praveen,

  1. is the issue limited while accessing any program in particular?

  2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  This problem may occur following a conflict of third party software, virus system or file system is corrupt.

  Refer to the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

  Windows hangs or freezes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681286

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again, the data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope that the information provided is useful.
