computer freezes

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?

get more ram? how much do u have now

Fri Jul 14, 2006 11:52 pm

1GB. i doubt that's the problem.

it might be ur mutherboard

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

Sat Jul 15, 2006 12:05 am

yep ad-aware helped me lots cuz i lagged bad before i had it

Sat Jul 15, 2006 12:12 am

thing is, ive gone through it with spybot and avg, and fixed everything. what's crap cleaner do?

Sat Jul 15, 2006 12:25 am

got rid of a shitload of crap with ccleaner.....adaware popped up one problem which i've had trouble with consistently. spybot said it'd got rid of it...weird.

Sat Jul 15, 2006 3:00 am

well, it froze again, after i ran both adaware and crap cleaner.... :evil:

It freezes cause you're triple posting..

Or too much pr0n I dunno..

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!

my computer has a tendency to randomly reboot, i think its just getting old...and shit

^ Maybe its's OS decay (Is OS decay still applicable to XP?)?
Too much shite have been installed and uninstalled in the registry that the PC starts to act shitty.

Sun Jul 16, 2006 10:49 am

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 :(

I have this problem where my Ctrl+Alt+Delete thing wont work. It just dosent come up :( . Also my Limewire whenever i close it, about 30 seconds it starts back up again without me doing anything.

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.

Nope didin't work :( . I sure try Googling it though if any of you guys dont have any suggestions.

I had this problem with my old computer, but it happened when i was on the internet..The end result was me buying this supercomputer.
