lockup

My Win10 desktop locked up last week. First Chrome would load only to quit after a short while, may 5 minutes. Then the machine wouldn't restart. I took it into the local shop that installed a new SSD about July (this year) and the tech gave it back saying he could not find anything wrong. WTF...

If I have a folder pointing to a network share that does not exist and I try to open that folder windows will 'freeze' that folder for about 30 seconds while windows tries to find it before telling me it can't.... Same thing happens if I know its not a valid shortcut and try to right click on it...

A few weeks ago, my Windows 7 Professional started to misbehave with the cursor locking up, moving back, jumping to an HTML screen, etc. I could mostly recover by moving the arrow keys back and forward or deleting these unwanted pop ups. It occurs with all applications, more on than off. I...

I have problem with Windows Update on my Lenovov PC after I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. The annex shows the fact that Windows Update when the update is executed, locks up when it is 92% to date. Thus, the update is not completed. Why it locks I do not know, but it was such a whole...

I'm still only running windows defender as requested in previous thread and suddenly the crashes have started again. When it triggers, its either a BSOD or total lockup of the system.

I don't know what in the world is going on but in the last 24hrs I've had 3 HARD lockups, a bsod ( last night while idle ) , Camtastia Studio crashing , Chrome sites saying flash is not installed, another site on IE said java was not installed. All of this was working fine just the other day...

I'm having the exact same issue as original poster. Cold boot and on desktop. Usually 5-10 min in I'll lockup and freeze. Requires restart. From then on I have no more issues the rest of the day or night, even when playing high demand games. If I shut down or sleep it's hit or miss if it will...

I have a problem with my computer locking up with the keyboard and mouse unresponsive and a horrible sound coming from the speakers (I think). This has happened 5 times since I upgraded to a SSD. The first two times it happened the computer was really hot. Fan Speed showed that it was in the...

This laptop has some boot issues about once every week or so and also locks up. I ran the usual virus and malware scans with very few results. I did a chkdsk /r and it found no problem. I then ran sfc /scannow and this is the message I received: "Windows resource protection found corrupt...

Hello everyone, New member here. I bought a new computer at Fry's, when I make a new folder on the C drive I get the blue-circle-of-death and Windows Explorer locks up. Is this a know bug in 8.1? I went to the MS website and downloaded all the updates for Windows, then rebooted the machine...

Since Kemical's comments about the DX 12 situation, I have been doing some checking. I realized Borderlands 2 is playing as DX 9 and 32 bit, which is its normal configuration. But I downloaded Borderlands Pre-Sequel which is a DX 10 version and it is still playing in DX 9 (32 bit). I also...

Windows 7 built in search is terrible. For a start it starts searching before you've finished typing the search term. It doesn't display the folder path in search results. When I click on a folder and then try to go back or up one level it hangs my computer to the point where I have to force...

Not doing much, it's happened twice now over the last few days. Just had a photo editing program open the first time it happened & the second time watching a youtube video via facebook. But having some strange things happen to my system like having things minimize for no reason. PING.exe...

I dont know how else to explain it.... other than I think my computer is in HEAT ! For the past two weeks, Ive been experiencing a problem with what sounds like the same sound you get from when you unplug a USB device- that sorta like a “ding dong” sound that happens in Windows 7. Sometimes...
