Win 7 Enterprise PCs crashing 48-72 hours after deployment
Hi-
So i'm in an enterprise environment and we're currently replacing user PCs. HP z420 workstations running Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit). We receive our PCs directly from HP and then image them with Clonezilla, join them to the domain, etc. and off they go. Never any issues in the past. (w/ Z400 32-bit W7 boxes as well as slightly older z420 64bit boxes - smaller HD, 6gb RAM) with this last shipment of PCs, the process is the same.
Once deployed, every single one of these boxes starts crashing after roughly 48-72 hours, specifically Application Hang based errors related to java and IE 11. after tasking out of the offending application a reboot is required (app will not respond when re-opened) at which point the machine will hang on "shutting down". run the gamut of applying latest windows updates, java updates, AV updates, IE tweaks (some of which can't be changed because of group policy settings) and nothing is working.
once the machine is (inevitably) hard rebooted it behaves, but the same problems eventually re-appear.
ugh. it's killing me because of course we're under a time crunch and management just wants the project "swiftly completed"
