Random freeze

Can you get into safe mode? Power on and tap F8.

If you can can you tell us what the event viewer is showing as I cannot open the attachment you sent.

Plus have you done any recent Windows updates?? then if you can get into safe mode you can system restore.

Hello Topsecret97,

Please follow the BSOD Posting Instructions and provide us with the .rar file created.

Also please fill in your system specs by following this tutorial.

I also completely agree with ICit2lol. Please refrain from using UTorrent for the duration of this fix; or remove it if possible until we are done.


Good luck and keep us posted,

Hello Topsecret97,

Thanks, this information will be very helpful while assisting you:)

It appears that your SystemInfo is an empty file, please rerun the SF Diagnostic Tool and upload the SystemInfo.txt file.

Here is the usual post I use when I see someone using Torrent programs, please read through it:

P2P Warning!

Important: I notice that there are one or more P2P (Person to person) file sharing programs on your computer;

1. UTorrent
2. BitTorrent

Please note that using any form of peer to peer networking is highly dangerous, as there is no way to identify the source of the files you download, and you can expect an infestation of malware to occur.

Years ago P2P file sharing was safe and easy to do. And while the latter may still be so today, it is most certainly not safe anymore. A peer to peer program is a direct conduit into your computer. Most of these programs lack proper security measures and malware writers can easily breach them, and they continue to exploit the users of these programs to spread their malware.
As addition to that; while using a P2P program, your computer may be sharing way more than you want it to. There have been reports of people's passwords, personal, private and financial data being exposed via P2P networks, only because they had a peer to peer program installed, and lacked the skills to configure it properly.

Please read the following reports on the dangers of using peer to peer programs and file sharing.
Risks of Peer to peer systems
File sharing infects 500.000 computers
File-sharing dangers involve more than legal troubles

I highly recommend that you uninstall the above mentioned P2P programs, as I can not guarantee your safety from malware if you leave them installed and the likelihood of reinfection is very high to certain.
You can uninstall them by doing the following steps;

1. Click on the .
2. Click on Control Panel and under Programs click on Uninstall a program.
3. Wait for the list to update, and when done, please right-click on the icon of the program(s) mentioned above and select Uninstall.
4. Follow the on screen instructions, and when prompted, please restart your computer.
   When you have multiple P2P programs installed Click No - I will manually restart later when prompted to restart, and repeat steps three and four until all programs are uninstalled, and click Yes - Restart now when you have finished uninstalling the last P2P program.
   If you choose not to uninstall them, please refrain from using any P2P program during this fix! Using them may interfere with any measures we may take.

I see that you are using Microsoft Security Essentials, good! We always recommend it here:)
Please run a full scan and report back any threats found.

It is quite late here now, so I will only be able to report back here tomorrow, please be patient.

In your next reply I would like to see;
