Windows 7 freezes

Hi Algis87,
here are instructions how to force BSOD.
???? ?? ? - ????? ???? ?? ?????
it will work with PS2 Keyboard only. there is an option to work it with usb keyboard but than the BSOD won't come in freeze time.
so connect a PS2 keybaord for the test.
once you have the memory dump file let me know - i can guide you thruogh the analyze process.

cheers.

You were right, it wasn't my PSU. I connected a brand new PSU and the freezes are still happening. Also I tried forcing the BSOD with a PS2 keyboard.I tried pressing & holding ctrl+Scroll lock several times and BSOD didn't come at the freezing time. I got a BSOD and a memory dump while running normally, but I think it isn't what I need. Any other suggestions?

how much passed from the freeze to the time you pressed the CTRL and scroll lock?
if it wasn't in the second after the freeze - try to catch it right after the freeze.

Take a look at the event viewer for any errors.

Can't catch it no matter what. I start clicking ctrl+scroll lock immediately after the freeze, still no BSOD. In event viewer I didn't find anything interesting, only reports that my system hadn't shut down properly, with no details...

just making sure - are you using the right side CTRL?
if yes - sounds like other major hardware issue. cpu mabye.

sorry with no dump i can't think of a way to catch the freeze.
to make sure it's not cpu try a fresh install of windows with nothing else installed -than recreate the freeze.
there might be that win7 uses cpu features and commands that xp doesn't.
do you have Intel VT virtualiztion equivalent feature enabled in the bios?

Yes I'm using right side ctrl. I can make a BSOD this when running normal, but in freeze this trick doesn't work. Virtualization is disabled in BIOS.
I followed Capt.Jack Sparrow's instructions and found out that in safe mode I don't get freezes. I disabled all services and started enabling them while "hunting" for the freeze. Finally I found out that I get freezes when a service called "Power" is enabled. I also noticed that I get freezes when audio is enabled. Audio gets disabled when I disable the "Power" service. So my problem is probably caused when audio is enabled (not when its playing, but when its enabled). I'm using the latest realtek sound drivers. What now?

can you post the regedit branch of the Services in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet for the AUDIO?

Don't think it's audio problem any more (btw its on-board sound ). I uninstalled sound drivers, disabled sound device under device manager and even disabled on-board sound in bios, still I get freezes. It must be something with that Power service...

did you installed the chipset drivers?
if yes - which one?
