Random Freezes and Hangs [BSOD logs attached]
Hey
Whats going on :
Recently I started experiencing random Freezes and Hangs. Even during logon [ Starts all the way from after the windows 7 logo ] My computer was working fine till yesterday night. In the morning I was in a hurry and Shut down the laptop. Windows asked me if I wanted to Force Close all programs which I did.
Now it randomly hangs and freezes with the hard disk access light lit up. During these "freezes" the mouse moves around freely but everything else hangs [Including running programs.]
Also I experienced one BSOD while using Google Chrome to search forums for an answer.
And there are several hard faults occurring for svchost.exe .
Is there any way I can fix this without resorting to re installing windows?
What I have done so far :
1. Ran memtest to see if RAM had faults. Result : No Faults.
2. Ran couple of Disk Checking tools and also the windows one. Result : No faults. S.M.A.R.T : OK.
3. Restored to a point yesterday morning. Result : No changes, still hangs.
4. Tried to check minidumps from BSOD. None exist. [Even did a *dmp search. Found a AppCrash report for Zune Player]
4. New BSOD - IRQl_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Uploaded BSOD logs.
5. Ran sfc/scannow in CMD. No corruption.
