Notebook freezes
Nomad:
Hi Shane
Last Friday the notebook went through a BSOD; after that somethings changed, like the desktop backgound image and the shortcuts in the desktop. I used the Macrium image I mentioned to recover. It took me a lot of time to update.

I have not such adapter but I'll look for one.
I suppose it would not work with the disk that has the C: partition, right?

- Download Piriform's SPECCY.
- Change the language to english
- Select "File", "Publish Snapshot" & add the weblink that shows up to your next post in this thread. Then we can see what the specifications are of your system. That would help A LOT.

Hi Willy2
Here it is http://speccy.piriform.com/results/vvHBkw4LOfrarv203z1MiOa.
Hope you can tell something.
Thanks

- Get rid of "SmartDefrag", "Driver Booster". Nothing but "snake oil" IMO. Instead use the build-in Windows Defragmentation program and set it to automatically optimize every week or month. It works "hand in glove" with Windows itself.
- Use Piriform's Ccleaner to disable (NOT remove (yet) !!!) a number of tasks in Task Scheduler. Do you REALLY need those programs ?
-The "freezing" occurs every 14 days. Was/is "SmartDefrag" set to run every 2 weeks ? That could explain the freezing.
- Install PcWinTech's (a.k.a. Shane's) Cleanmem. It reduces memory usage every 15 minutes. Much better than many other "optimizers".
- Run "GSmartcontrol" (http://gsmartcontrol.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/) and make a screenshot of the "Attributes" tab and post it here. Are there any red(ish) lines in the picture ? That would point to problems with your harddisk(s).

@Nomad: Install Tweaking's Registry Backup. It makes a backup of the registry upon startup. If you get more BSODs then you can try to restore the registry to a previous point with this program.
