Computer -Randomly- Freezes -Solved-

(1/10) > >>

Hey long time no see, I have yet to have a problem not solved from this forum.

Anywho, Last post I made here was about my HDD and I was told my HDD was dieing and that it might be the cause of why my laptop would randomly freeze up. Made sense to me.

Just this past June I got a brand spankin new HDD, a WD 500gb 7200rpm.

As of right now, I still had occasionally freezes, I thought it only happened when things got overloaded or from heat, I have not been able to ever replicate the freeze, or find whats causing it, sometimes it happens while idle on the desktop, sometimes it happens when playing a game, watching a movie, etc. The laptop isn't always hot when it happens.

Anyway the past 2 days I have had a freeze 3 times, and its getting a bit old, and I don't know whats going on, I checked event viewer and it showed some critical errors followed by some warnings, I went ahead and attached them since I can't make much use of its information.

Now before its suggested I have in the past done disk checks, hard drive checks, SFC scans, etc. I have Bitdefender Pro, and Malwarebytes, and both claim I am clean so thats not it. I repeatably check my HDD health and no errors.

My hardware isn't getting any Yellow Exclamation marks in the device manager, and my drivers are up to date as far as I am aware. When the laptop freezes the fans are also no longer running, Just saying, and sometimes it will play a loud obnoxious tone til I turn it off.

Another thing I have done is unplug it, take the battery out and press the power button a few times. I haven't done any tweaking to my Window 7 OS outside of turning off a couple services that won't be used.

Does anyone know the answer? And sorry this was so long.

This is what MS gives for one of the errors http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2080bd89-9f14-4845-b8da-1e073045f98d.aspx

And this is for another http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3336.event-id-1014-microsoft-windows-dns-client.aspx

You can get theses solutions by clicking on the blue Online help link when you click on any of the errors.

What % of free space do you have on your HDD and when did you last defrag ?

If you have more than one RAM module installed, just leave one in and run Windows memory test then repeat for the other(s).

Go Start - type memory then click on Windows Memory Diagnostic and follow the choices/prompts.

Memory test as of last month had no issues, I have 384GB of 465GB free.

And I don't think the errors you linked about relate, The service mentioned in the first one runs just fine, the other one. I am honestly unsure whats going on, but I believe these errors happen after the computer freezes not before?

Boggin:
I've come across where Bitdefender has been a bit of a resource hog and changing the Paging File to the recommended max could help, which is also why I'd asked when you performed the last defrag as that can aid Virtual Memory. https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sysdm_advancd_perform_change_vmpagefile.mspx?mfr=true

As a trial, uninstall Bitdefender and install one of the freebies such as Avast Free to see if you still get the freezes.

AV programs can also cause hiccups in connectivity.

The Event Viewer errors are repetitive and you also have this one for the 20th http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19405a2d-cea1-464f-92b2-5e9a34f8f9b5.aspx

Click on the blue Online help links for each error and where they give a solution, work your way through those.

The Event Viewer can't report something until it has happened so one or more will be related.

Does the Reliability History give any more info ?

silents429:
It isn't Bitdefender I have only had it for a short time after getting it for free for 6 months off there site, Its done this plenty of times even with MSE, or without an Anti Virus. Still I just upped the page file to what Windows considered recommended anyway.

And I can't even find the service you linked for a solution to fix, You sure its the right one? And I don't remember where the reliability history is.
I noticed in the logs after rereading that a driver was failing failed to load then the crash forms. On most of them anyway.
