Windows XP freezes

• Why my windows keep freezing?

  Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.

• Windows keeps freezing whenever I insert a USB key which has been formatted on a Linux machine.

  I'm mostly a Linux user, but having to use Windows machines at work sometimes.  I format all my USB format keys FAT in Windows because Windows is not able to read the format file ext4 that prefer Linux.  Whenever I plug the thumb drive in one of our Windows 7 computers to work, Windows will freeze for 30 seconds to two minutes, then tell me that it cannot find a file to open my tar.gz files (no duh - tar.gz is not a format compatible windows) then he very slowly shows the contents of the disc.

  Any advice on how to keep Windows 7 machines Flake whenever you plug in a USB key with files in Linux on it?

  It of curious why Windows try to open archive.  If you hold down the SHIFT key when you insert the USB (to remove any autorun), does make a difference?  AutoPlay is enabled in Control Panel / AutoPlay?

• If my connection interrupted by the ISP, my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and he does not answer to disconnect click.

  If my ADSL connection disconnected by the provider of the connection on my computer freezes instead of disconnect!

  As the title suggests, if my connection interrupted by the ISP (for example: Internet service provider who use dynamic IP automatically disconnects after 24 hours permanent connection), my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and this isn't answer to disconnect click, even if I uninstall the Ethernet card, keep the connection.

  Everything else works fine, and the only way to connect to the Internet is to restart my pc.

  Also if the connection is disconnected due to a traction cable or ADSL Modem power connection broadband (PPPoE) on my PC disconnect normally without any problems and I can reconnect without any problem.
  any help with this.

  Hello

  PPPOE software th whole arrangement never worked well from the first day more than 10 years regardless of the operating system.

  So most serious DSL carriers actually give free Modem/Router so that authentication would be by the side of the router WAN.

  They give it for free for phone support for this problem cost them more than the $10 adds the router to the Modem

  For example, get a router, simple routers in the United States are sold for less than $15.

  Router solved the problem PPPOE provides, security with NAT firewall, and stream DSL is actually faster than with authentication of software.

• Windows 7 freezes and unresponsive

  A few days ago did this start happening, but my laptop freezes and nothing works.  I can't open the windows, all my open windows have the title [name of program] is not responding.  CTRL Alt Delete sent it to me to a page saying:

  "Task manager has failed to operate, and if you feel this once again, then your operating system can be unresponsive."

  Or something similar to this.

  Return to normal, the only way is to press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on.  It happens all the time now, but I've had this laptop for a few years, and it did not before.  I had to reformat the computer twice recently, due to a virus which plays audio sounds random and commercial without my intervention.  One of these wipes was right this morning, so if you ask my logs, they will be completely empty.  It comes to the computer:

  If anyone knows what the problem is or how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it if they responded.

• Desktop Windows 7 freezes.

  I recently updated my card motherboard and CPU. Went from Intel Core2Duo to AMD FX 6 core and motherboard went from Foxconn to an MSI a not sure about the particular model but both were on the card. I had to do a complete fresh re-install of Windows 7 Home 64 bit just to get the pc to boot. I first noticed the problem whenever I plugged my speakers sound on Board decision-making. I thought that it could be a conflict with my mouse because as soon as I plugged it it it would freeze upwards. I went on the installation disc motherboard and ensured that all drivers have been installed correctly. I then plugged my speakers back in and it worked fine. Now it hangs just periodically when I am downloading and trying to use google chrome

• I need help with my computer Windows 7 freezing. How can I stop this?

  This just happened to me because my computer has been built up and tested in the last month. I was in the middle of work on an assignment for the class online and just froze. I couldn't use the mouse or keys and was forced to hit the reset button on the front of my computer. I use Windows 7 Ultimate with all updates. I have the Intel Core i5 quad core processor and PCI Express card Asus Geforce GTX 550Ti 2.0 and 4 GB of memory hardware. It is the copy of the event viewer. I will list all the codes that concern as well. This is the entire code format: (this has happened before, so I need to know why it happened and how I fix so it does not happen.)

• Windows 7 freezes the first time I turn on my pc

  Every day I turn on my computer for the first time, my windows 7 freezes and I have to do a hard reboot, so I can use my pc normally.

• Windows 7 freezes after the password entered

  It is a windows 7 Compaq Presario laptop. It freezes immediately after the entry of the password. It crashes in safe mode as well. When I go to command Mode need me to network mode so I can't run all the tests. The fan had run hard before, but I don't think that is the main question. I could install a new hard drive but I don't have an operating system. I expect to get out of this without spending too much money

• Windows 7 freezes in Normal Mode.

  Hello! I use my Dell Inspiron 17R about 2 months ago and this is a fantastic phone, I use it mainly for video games, music and Movies/TV shows and he ran without fault far.

  Yesterday, however, the problems began to occur. I could boot up the laptop as usual and access the Internet, play games, watch movies etc, but after about 5 minutes everything would suddenly become unresponsive. Both my mouse and trackpad do not allow me to click at all, however I could move the mouse around the screen quite well. The keyboard would not work also - I tried to open the Task Manager via Ctrl + Alt + Del but also closing windows with Alt + F4 or by train at the stop via the Windows key and nothing would work. Instead, the cursor would change to the "loading" symbol and it would pretty much just doing nothing.
  The first time that this happened, I was browsing the Internet and it comes if is stuck on "Waiting for Cache" or something so that probability, I then noticed the circle of rotation which shows a page loading also stopped and was then forced to manually restart because I couldn't even click on the Windows button. Another test I tried watching a video uploaded - it literally just stopped playing about 4 minutes. The screen is just stopped on a single image even if the pause button had not been pressed - try clicking on what anyone did not work (as usual).
  I tried to restart it several times (I unfortunately had to use the power button) and he began to repeat each time. It would work for a few minutes before freezing completely (less opportunity to unnecessarily move the mouse around the screen). Sometimes a pop-up window would be above the bar saying that stains the 'Microsoft Windows application became unresponsive. Sometimes the taskbar then disappear and the laptop would be closed, but the end result is always the same.
  I found that the same problem moved with the boot safe mode with networking, however there were a few noticeable slowdown. I downloaded and used many anti-viruses/malware to analyze my machine and I'm almost certain that there is nothing of the those on the computer (although in fairness, the scans have been so slow I could do before giving up only to about 20% on each). Other solutions, I tried included:
  1. manually end tasks of high memory use via the Manager of
  2. with the help of CCleaner for fix my registry in Mode safe
  3. left the laptop shut down during the night in hope it would just set
  4 disconnected everything from the laptop ports
  5. rebooted via the reboot, shutdown and power buttons
  I'm sure I tried other things as well, but I am quite limited in the fact that I can use the laptop for a few minutes before he decided to stop working. I really need the laptop for my studies and I would be absolutely in love if one of you could help me solve my problem.
  Thanks in advance!

  Original title: error: after about 5 minutes of work after booting, Windows 7 freezes completely

  Hi JordanRidehalgh,

   

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you have a problem with Windows 7 gel. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team to get this number fixed.

   

  We start with a few questions-

  (1) that you get an error message or error code?

  (2) did you install hardware or software on the computer before the show?

  I would like more information about the issue.

   

  Method 1-

  I wish that you run anti-virus in Mode safe mode with networking using different antivirus software.

  In addition, I'd download (download and install in Normal Mode) and execution (in Safe Mode) the online scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The antivirus will try to repair bad sectors on the hard drive damaged by viruses. All the data on these sectors may be lost.

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Make sure you get the computer back to Normal Mode after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

  Method 2-

  It is possible that a third-party application is causing the problem as the computer worked well in Mode without failure.

   

  I recommend you perform the clean boot.
  
  Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-
  
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: You must follow the step 3 of the article to return the computer to a Normal startup after you perform all the troubleshooting steps.

   

  Check if the problem persists.

   

  Method 3-

  I would have you look at the article-

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2681286?WA=wsignin1.0#method52

  Note: The antivirus will try to repair bad sectors on the hard drive damaged by viruses. All the data on these sectors may be lost.
