Windows 7 - All Application suddenly hangs/(Not Responding)
Thank you to any/all for taking the time to look this over and help out.
so what I have been having a problem is with the past couple days now is that all my applications suddenly decide to "hang" or "Not Respond". At first I thought it was just my Mozilla Firefox, so I ran CC cleaner but it still persisted. I soon noticed that it was happening in Chrome too along with windows explorer, even going through windows folder, and all applications.
Solutions I tried so far:
- Used PC Optimizer to fix registries
- Ran virus scan (Malwarebytes and Avast)
- Defragmented hard drive
- Updated video card
- Updated Windows
- Removed some startup programs
So far nothing has worked and it has become really frustrating. I know its most likely not a hardware issue, I've been running on it for a long time and my specs are as listed:
- Core i5 2500k @3.6GHz
- 12GB RAM
- Crossfire 6870's
- 1TB + 500GB Internals
- Gigabyte Z68X Motherboard
- TX850 Watt PSU
Can anyone help me out? I'd prefer not to do an entire reboot, I feel as if that would be a last resort.
