Windows 5 64 bit random freezes. I think its an OS prob
Mini dump file included.
My Asus X5DIN laptop randomly crashes. It is completely random and I cannot re create the problem by will but it mostly occurs when I start my laptop. The screen freezes and if a sound is playing that also freezes and it remains frozen even if I leave it for hours on end. To get my laptop restarted I have to hold in the start button but it usually happens about 2-6 times after the first one untill it finally settles so to speak, as in I don't get any more usually.
I have experienced freezes in the most random places such as when windows is loading, when logging in, when opening or running a program, when typing, when using the internet,when listening to music and even while not using my laptop at all it can freeze.
Imagine a screenshot and that is what my freeze looks like, a screenshot of the exact moment it happens regardless of what I am doing. The sound is also 'screenshotted' if you understand what I mean.
Would be great if anyone could help and if you need any other information just explain how to get it and I will provide it. I'm not that bright when it comes to computers but I can follow instructions to the letter and I also remember things regarding computers that way also.
Note the laptop has been having this problem since day one but I took no notice because it was more of an inconvenience to me. The laptop is 3 months old and the problem has been here before it was hooked up to the internet or anything installed but I now have all the latest drivers.
