Driver causing computer to freeze...which driver? Windows 7 64bit
Hello,
I have a Sony Vaio that just recently started freezing after startup for no apparent reason.
I initially thought the freeze maybe caused by the HDD so I purchased and installed a SSD (the computer needed updating anyway.)
Along with the SSD, I put a fresh install of Windows 7 on the machine. The computer still froze randomly.
Next, I switched out one stick of ram at a time to see if either (the computer has two sticks) maybe causing the fault. Nothing...same random freezing.
Then, I noticed that if I move the computer, that's when everything freezes...cursor and all. I thought, "loose connection somewhere."
Lastly, I notices that when I start in safe mode w/networking, the computer DOESN'T freeze! Moving the machine around or not.
This has led me to believe the freeze is being caused by a driver of some sort... but,
How do i determine WHICH driver is causing this? (i also have set the bios back to default..no fix)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks...
