    System freeze every 5th boot


    Hi, about every 5th boot after about 3-5 minutes I get a stuttering mouse and then a system freeze. No blue screen of death just a frozen computer. This started about a month ago.

    Here's my diagnostics tool dump. Thanks very much.

    Sorry late reply mate am on graveyard shift and cannot always answer on time.
    Well the temps look fine to me however the dump files I am not really good at so we might have to refer it to one of those fellows.
    But did the chkdsk come up with anything? as you say the SFC did and I would run those other scans I referred to as well and see what if anything is there.

    Also just have a look in the Device manager at the Mice and other pointing devices and see if there is any yellow triangles there see pic

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to try to help me. chkdsk didn't find any errors. The two virus scans found some tracking and ad ware stuff. I have three triangles on other devices but it's been like that since the day I built this machine.

    Yep I have similar but I don't know myself what the dickens it is a rightclick on them and go to properties might tell you what they are but probablysomething insignificant.

    I suppose you have updated the graphics driver?? worth a try

    Darn it, even after the graphics update I'm still getting the same freezes. The only thing new that I've added to my system is a usb 3.0 card reader I got about a month ago.

    If your system is freezing, that is not a good sign and is usually caused by hardware failure.

    Check your HDD for errors, and then run a memtest.

    Disk Check

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+


    TIP: Also try replacing the sata cable going to your hard drive. This has been known to be causes of some unusual freezing.

    Remove the card reader and do the tests Andrew has cited the diskcheck I quoted earlier but should have been a bit more explicit I usually add in the /f and /r tho the command line prompt in Option 2 if it looks necessary.

    The memtest I might as well add what I Usually put

    MEMTEST

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.htmlthis one you will need to make a bootable disk set the BIOSto optical (or USB if preferred) boot the machine and let it run for at LEAST 8 passesunless the errors come up straight away. (see pic) Takes a fair time to completeand some leave it running overnight.

    If you do get errors and have morethan one stick then you will need to test each one separately and maybe even inthe separate slots.
    I would also be tempted to run tests on the drive with SeaTools for Windows | Seagate and a physical suface test with Partition Wizard Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition. again see pic for how that is done it will check for actual physical problems of the spinning disk.
