Windows 7 Windows 7 Constantly freezes

mattmt · May 11, 2009

So first of all I'm running build 7100 (32-bit). Have an intel E6750 2.6Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM. Today I installed Windows 7 and for some reason, everytime I put my pc under minimal stress, for example opening a tab in IE and then opening another one before the first one finishes loading, or holding down backspace, will freeze the computer for roughly about 3 minutes. Anyone experience anything similar or can input anything? Thanks in advance.

I found it!
I read on a forum created for tabletPC's that someone had the same problem as I had. The solution was very simple:
Go to Control Panel > Power Option > Change the Power Plan to High Performance.
That's it, no more freezing. Even though I have a Desktop that doesn't really need a power plan...

I hope I was able to help some of you because I know it's a very frustrating problem.

could it just be a faulty build? i mean i've tried everything anyone's suggested, including changin monitor refresh rate, installing older vga drivers in compatibility mode, turning off windows indexing, etc. This is getting very irritating now as I am working on a program due monday and I can't even test it, because windows will crash Windows 7 looks good but its a big disappointment in my (and many others) case

I hear ya. This stupid system won't run for more then thirty seconds without freezing.
