lockup

Hi everyone. I just got a new computer recently and I've been able to play most new games perfectly. The only problem is that I kept having my computer lock-up while playing Battlefield 3. I thought it was the game's fault as we were many to encounter the same problem. But I was playing Batman...

I wanted to start this thread to warn people about things that have come up during my time testing Windows 8. The largest things that I was hoping to put out is the stuff that is a major break down, and could cause your system to have to be cold shutdown. That was the major idea I had, but...

Hello Windows 7 Forum Users & Admins, I recently wanted to "relive" the classic game but encountered some errors along the way. I spent countless amounts of time trying to find a cure. I have read that playing RTC1 is indeed possible after a couple of minor changes to the exe. file. I...

Hi I recently had a PSU failure and replaced with a new unit. System now powers up. However Windows is now randomly locking up. No BSOD, no warning, it just locks and stops responding. No screen corruption either. The only solution is to power off. It never once did this prior to the PSU...

If Microsoft's hotfix didn't solve your lockup program, one reader's unconventional approach just might. Hint: there's a USB hub involved. Link Removed

For the past month my computer has been experiencing multiple issues. I don't believe the cause is a Virus/Spyware, though I could be wrong. Sometimes the computer just shuts down. No BSOD, no error message, it just shuts down. Other times the mouse and keyboard hang. The lights on the keyboard...

I built this computer just over a month ago and the first month was smooth sailing, but now this problem just started recently and I have no idea what is causing it. I tried going back to a restore point and that still didn't fix it. It happens randomly when starting programs, games usually...

Safari 5.01 on Macbook Pro 2010 13.3 with 10.6.4. This one locks up several times a day with no reason to be seen so far anyway. Yes Safari 5 locked up really nice but, not anywhere as bad as 5.01. Just doing normal net cruising I guess and there it goes locked up, spinning beach ball and...
