computer freezes

Postby koberulz on Fri Jul 14, 2006 11:22 pm

for some reason, my computer keeps repeatedly freezing, after anywhere between half an hour and seven or eight hours. it freezes completely, nothing works, and i have to reboot. i've run spybit and avg antivirus and cleaned everything out, but it doesnt solve the problem. any suggestions?

its not a hardware problem it would be software related, best bet would be a trojan, get lavasoft ad aware and crap cleaner and try those programs then reboot and see how it goes

get spyware doctor...find a *serial* for it and activate it..then do a full system scan...spyware doctor in my opinion is the best spyware-adware/virus removal program...it cleaned all the problems i had..

either that or just do a system restore to the day when your computer wasnt acting like this..first backup.

Save what is important and reformat it. It will definetly solve the problem unless it is hardware related, which I doubt it is.

I have a problem of my own:

My monitor goes into a black screen then a few seconds later, it restarts itself. I don't know if it's a hardware issue, but this has happened only when I run Live 06, Civilization IV, and occasionally Microsoft Word. With Call of Duty 2, Photoshop and Illustrator, I have never had these problems. Any gurus who could answer this, I'd appreciate it very much!
if you were killed tomorrow, i WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN THE MOTHA FUCKER THAT KILLED U!

^ Maybe its's OS decay (Is OS decay still applicable to XP?)?

It could be that, but gurus on mIRC think it's either the CPU or the RAM. Ah, I guess after formatting, I'll find out. I don't want to format, though :(

It may be the same thing that happens to me (the only difference is that it appears an annoying message saying "The administrator has disabled Task Manager" to me...)
Anyways try doing this:
Click Start, Run and paste this code there:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Hope it works.
