System becomes unresponsive at random intervals, W7 64-bit
I've just recently installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Toshiba Laptop, and since day one, I have been having this recurring error. Windows will randomly become
unresponsive. I've looked through other posts on these forums, and others through Google, and the solutions found in those threads are not successful. It is not in any
particular order, and there's not one particular action that causes it more than another. It will happen when I right-click, it will happen when I open a webpage, it
will happen when nothing's happening, and the only thing that is running is the virus scanner. Because of this, it might indicate to me that there may be a problem
with the hard drive, but performing a diskcheck yields no errors.
Initially I had Arch Linux installed on my machine, but due to work, I needed to have a hard copy of Windows 7 installed (they stated that running it in a virtual
environment is not sufficient). Because I intended on installing Arch Linux again, I set a 100MB boot partition for GRUB to be installed on, and Windows 7 on the
partition immediately following that.
Partition table is:
100MB EXT2
160GB NTFS
160GB LVM
Tech Specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit SP 1
Processor: AMD Turion II P520
RAM: 4.00 GB
I have started in clean-boot mode, and safe mode. In the error log I have the following:
Critical:
Event ID: 41
Source: Kernel-Power
Description: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power
unexpectedly.
Error:
Event ID: 3
Source: Kernel-EventTrace
Description: Session "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D
The error with the MSE OOBE shows up every time. I cannot post a Minidump file, as the machine does not BSOD. It just becomes completely unresponsive, requiring me to hold down the power button.
