Windows 7 Crashes. No BSOD at all

cheewongken said:

Hey there, I'm having crashes on windows 7 ultimate, after having this computer for one month. When it starts freezing, all apps stop responding, then the mouse stops as well, and i need to turn it off to start it again. Any suggestions?

my specs

Gigabyte P55 US3L
Intel Core i5
Kingston 1333 DDR3 2gb x 2
W.D. 500 GB SATA HDD
PSU 550W (Cooler Master: Extreme)
LG superwriter 22x
ASUS ENGTX 275 (version 195.21)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I don't get any BSOD. I've no idea if there's any crash logs (minidump has nothing, i have no idea how to look at the event viewer. I've fixed any errors in my registry and defragged my hard drive with Auslogics Boostspeed, did a virus scan with avg, vcleaner. Malware scan with windows defender and lavasoft ad-aware, both 0 results. and it only started (7 feb 2010) (my computer is a month old)

Also, i've tried System Restore to the earliest stage (4th feb) which was a "critical windows update" but i'm still getting crashes.

Lets take a look in event viewer. You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column) that have app hang,m or app crash in their names. Note the evend ID and source code. Let us know what they are.

should i try memtest86? already ran sfc /scannow, no problems. I connected to the internet, and went to play a game, it self disconnected and i didn't notice, and when i reconnected, i crashed within 5 minutes. I also thought it would be worth noting that i get a "Additional log on information required. Click here to open your browser." pop up on certain times when i connect.

bump.

i just had a thought.. could this be occuring because of a corrupted registry? (i used a reg cleaner for the 2nd time [Auslogics Registry Cleaner 4.5.15.280] on the day this crashes started happening)

if so, i can restore it with their backup (it wasn't shown in system restore).. but if i do, won't any installed apps after the day of the backup no longer register with the OS? i can always reinstall them, but i've forgotten what i've installed..

i've tried the earliest of system restore, but it didn't work.. the program i used to clean registry errors has a couple dating back to when i first used it, but i didn't restore that.

another forum said that my computer could be overheating.. with my specs, do you guys think it would? (its 33 degrees celcius around here, room temperature.)

Thanks, problem is, i don't know what app/program could be causing it... and the crashes varies from 5 minutes to 3 hours..

Hello, I have the same problem.

Since November 2009, it radomly presents, just like your reports.

The only coincidences I could identify are:

1. Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7
2. ASUS Motherboard
3. Kernel-related power failure
4. Atheros Wireless Hardware
5. Clearly random presentation

I still looking for a solution...

Best regards
