Pc Locks Up
I'm running a fairly fresh install of win7 (installed 2 or so months ago) which lately has been randomly locking-up/freezing. I don't even get a response from ctrl+alt+del, so I'm forced to do a hard reboot.
Anyway I looked in events viewer and wondered if these instances had any bearing:
The browser service was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master \\BONSAI on the network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{############################}.
Browser master: \\BONSAI
Network: \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{################################}
This event may be caused by a temporary loss of network connectivity. If this message appears again, verify that the server is still connected to the network. The return code is in the Data text box.
---------------------------------------------
Basically this "BONSAI" is just another user on the network.....why is this user the "master browser"!?
The resulting error from this warning is as follows:
The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{###########################}. The backup browser is stopping.
---------------------------------------------
Of course the freezes could have nothing to do with this but it seems odd and my pc is well looked after.
