Random Freezing for Notebook ASUS F6VE Windows 7 Professional 32bit

devower said:

Ahh, 1 thing I realised, the moment the first freezing occurs, the next freeze will be quite soon when I start gaming/viewing videos, until when I restart my computer then it will take longer before it starts freezing. Meaning after using about 2 hours then when it first freeze, the next freeze takes around 1 hour or less until I restart my computer and it takes awhile before freezing occurs again.

Freezing occurs more frequently when using skype, without video calls, normal calls can cause freezing too.

And of course you have re-installed skype right? You aren't overclocking?

Definately not over-clocking, Re-installed skype, the freezing seems to stop, will update once it freeze again. Hope this work. Thanks.

The problem is still not solve yet freezing still occuring even after reinstallation. let me try with a clean installation and will install all my programmes and driver after updating to SP1, lets hope this works.

Freezing still occuring even after I formatted my computer, updated to SP1, then installation of my Programs and Drivers. Leaving it alone with no moving graphics will not cause any freeze, however just by watching videos/skype/gaming will cause it to freeze, I had the latest video driver already.

But the freezing only occurs after SP1 update, before SP1 everything seems ok.

Might be something in SP-1. Before you update to SP-1 have you run the update readiness tool?

Hi Zigzag,

I had ran this Download the System Update Readiness Tool (32bit) and updated all the windows file.

Could I check with you is this the update that patch windows 7 to Windows 7 SP1?

At the same time I will be running my system (Without SP1) for 2 days to make sure that the hang is not present for those updates that were installed

It is the correct update (it is large btw)

Good idea

Hi Zigzag,

After using my computer for about a week. no problems had been observed, so I tried SP1 today, and immediately after installation of SP1, by using skype about 10mins my computer Freeze.

No doubt that SP1 is the cause of the problem.

Please advice what I could do next.
