Windows 7 keeps freezing
Hi,
I have a problem with my windows 7. It keeps crashing at random times.
I had 3 crashes yesterday and 2 today so far.
I tried to search for dump files to check the problem but couldn't find any, there is no minidump folder either, so what is the deal here?
If I go to the "view event logs", this is what I am getting:
Critical 09/08/2009 11:08:22 Kernel-Power 41 (63)
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.I am using this version Win7.7600.16385.090713-1255.X86FRE.Code:- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> - <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4}" /> <EventID>41</EventID> <Version>2</Version> <Level>1</Level> <Task>63</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x8000000000000002</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2009-08-09T07:48:17.458828000Z" /> <EventRecordID>8158</EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID="4" ThreadID="8" /> <Channel>System</Channel> <Computer>AsCo</Computer> <Security UserID="S-1-5-18" /> </System> - <EventData> <Data Name="BugcheckCode">0</Data> <Data Name="BugcheckParameter1">0x0</Data> <Data Name="BugcheckParameter2">0x0</Data> <Data Name="BugcheckParameter3">0x0</Data> <Data Name="BugcheckParameter4">0x0</Data> <Data Name="SleepInProgress">false</Data> <Data Name="PowerButtonTimestamp">0</Data> </EventData> </Event>
And if you are wondering if this is a hardware problem then no cause on XP my laptop works fine.
And it is not that the heating up of my CPU cause while I was checking the temperature which was 46c using speedfan.exe the screen froze, I can still hear the HDD working as well as the fan.
Another problem which is a minor one is the sleep mode, once the laptop goes to the sleep mode, I can't log on to windows again, I have to force shut down by keep pressing on my power button and if I switch it on again it won't boot, so I will have to unplug my AC cable and plug it in again, then I will have a somehow slow boot but eventually it will work.
The freezing problem happens sometimes after 30 mins and sometimes after several hours, plz help me
