• Windows 7 freezes when connected to a network

  I have a computer that is running Windows 7 x 64 edition and an Acer notebook running Windows 7 x 86 edition and I have this problem on both of them.  The BIOS is upgraded to the latest version, all Windows updates and the latest drivers are installed.

  If I connect a router that is permanently connected to the internet (internet is provided through the connection standard network) or one of the computers, everything works fine.  My computers are always on and even for the days without rebooting.

  However, as soon as I connect to the internet manually (or a virtual private network) via the network and sharing Center (which means that my network sharing Center shows that I am connected to my network and the second connection), the computer hangs after a few moments.  If I nothing, just leave the computer on idle when you are logged in this respect, it can take anything between 5 minutes and a few hours before it freezes.  If I'm working on the pc, usually only a few minutes.  If I listen to music (for example Winamp) while working, less than 5 minutes.  This happens regardless of what application I work in (Visual Studio, Outlook, Excel, Google Chrome) and no matter if the request, I work uses the network that I am connected or not.

  OK, the gel.  What happens is the computer crashes completely.  The mouse pointer stops to move and no keys or whatever it is that you can get the computer out of the gel.  Must reset hard.  No event log is created.  If music was playing before the Frost, the last note that was played just repeat until reset.

  It's not a too big problem on my pc that I'm usually connected to a DSL router, but on the laptop that I use for travel, it is a huge problem because I connect to the internet using a 3G dongle which shows as a network that I am connected in the network and sharing Center.

  Laptop is an Acer Travelmate 6592 G.  I used to run Windows Vista x 86-based computers and never had this problem.  I had this problem on my pc and laptop with Windows 7 x 86 edition, and then a clean installed x 64 on a new partition on my pc.  The problem is there from the beginning (before anti virus or all other installs).

  My apologies.  I should have updated this thread.

  On my side, it seems that AVG was the question.  As soon as I removed AVG, the problem disappeared.  I am now using Avira on my pc with Microsoft Security Essentials on my laptop... Did not have a single freeze since about June and my computer is never turned off.

• Satellite A100-002 - freezes when installing Windows 7

  Hello

  2 years ago I tried to install Wista - but it froze during installation, whenever I tried. of course, I tried different versions of Wista.
  Once I managed with installation - but he keep gel al the time - immediately after departure.
  so I gave up - and I'm back to XP

  now I'm trying to install Windows 7 and again the same problems :(

  can someone tell me whats wrong? -a really need him.

  Thank you very much

• 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.

• Satellite L40 - 17R - freezes when installing Vista

  First of all I want to say hi

  I have some problems with the installation of Windows Vista. I know I have to make an adjustment to my HDD on the SATA BIOS or something like that.
  But my BIOS doesn't have something about that.
  Not even 1 bit of info

  I also tried with an update of the BIOS for win XP (I m now using XP) and the BIOS is the same.

  When I try to install Vista it works up to the level "Complete Installation" where this green line of installation of rest status freeze.
  Please give me some advice on this subject.
  Thank you, very much

  Hello

  You try to install Windows Vista with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?
  If you use the Microsoft disc, you integrated SATA drivers?

  The SATA drivers, you can find on the site called Toshiba Intel Storage Manager.
  You need only these drivers if you are using the Microsoft disk.

  In the BIOS, you can change between AHCI and compatible mode. AHCI mode is a bit faster, but that's why you need the SATA drivers.

  If you have more questions just to seek out here in the forum. There are already a lot of discussions about this, and this procedure returns on every laptop.

• Error - the instruction at "0x7c923845" referenced memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be "read". Computer Windows XP freezes when online.

  Original title: svchost.exe - Application error.

  When I'm online I get the error message appear as follows:

  Svchost.exe - Application error

  The instruction at "0x7c923845" referenced memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be "read".

  Then my computer freezes

  Don't know what triggered it on my machine, I do not use 'messenger' , but I discovered that it was something to do with Windows. I have a Toshiba laptop, I finally ran the process of "adding value to products" using their 'product recovery disk '.  It took hours to reload everything and download the updates after the hard drive has been re-configured, but it seems to have solved the problems that I had with.  Radical solution, I know, but I'm not a "geek" so was becoming more frustrated with the constant "freezes" and poor performance.  I can only assume that my Windows XP system had somehow been corrupted.  It's all working fine now, fingers crossed!

• Gamepad Xbox 360 for Windows pc freezing when the vibration is enabled

  Anyone know a fix for this, whenever I have the vibration turned on for any game using the controller Xbox 360 for Windows (by cable), it freezes the game and I can't get my PC to respond again by disconnecting the controller.

  This occurs if the game supports natively the 360 controller or not.

  Games question until now:

  Dead Space
  Dead Space 2
  LIMBO
  Tomb Raider: Legend

  Deactivation of the vibration in one of these games feature solves the problem, but does anyone know a solution where I'd be able to use the vibration?

  The problem you are experiencing may be caused by the power of the amount needed when the vibration is enabled. I had the problem on my old PC, that when I used my controller, my sound would play as the speakers had holes in them and that the game would freeze-freeze-start. The Xbox 360 controllers use 500mA, which is over the limit that provides a USB port. With this audio device, a keyboard and a mouse together via a USB port, which is an aspiration constant quite heavy on the USB supply rail.
  I fixed it by getting a small USB 7 port hub which is outwardly the power (this is important) and plug my controller. This way he can draw the entire, there need without slipping down the USB ports attached to the motherboard. Just be sure it's a hub with an external power supply.
