Freezing, help me!

[Justin Hartung]

My computer recently got eaten by a virus and i could not find my discs for windows, So i opted to go out and buy windows 7. It installed great and everything worked fine since tuesday, until tonight. I left my computer on while i went to work this morning to download a game from Direct to Drive and when i got back my mouse didnt move and i couldnt get my computer to shut down. I hard reset and everything was working fine for about 10 minutes and then first my internet connection is lost then the system folder becomes unresponsive, so i go to restart and my explorer became unresponsive. I tinkered around with things and nothing workes so i reinstalled I booted it back up and 10 mins later i freeze again. Please help me out, it is much appreciated.

The Server SMB 1.xxx Driver service depends on the Server SMB 2.xxx Driver service which failed to start because of the following error:

Did you format the HDD while clean installing?

 

[Justin Hartung]

im not sure, i installed it onto my hard drive and it wiped it clean, i assume it reformated. I could be wrong though, i havea basic understanding of computers but not an expert yet.

 

[torrentg]

Alright yeah. What you should do is boot to the DVD and reinstall Windows right where it is now. First make sure there is nothing you want to keep on the partition/drive. if you do keep anything, place it in another folder in another drive and then scan it with Malwarebytes.

When installing Windows by booting to the DVD, when it gets to the part where it asks you where to install to, hit advanced. You can use this screen to format and then Windows will continue to install to a clean drive.

I reinstalled and reformatted, no freezes yet but I am only 10 mins in. Cross your fingers

 

[torrentg]

Hey, good luck.

 

[Justin Hartung]

yup just like before 10-15 minutes in and my internet disconects and about 2 mins later the thing freezes

I just checked on your motherboard. That's the likely issue here because it is so old without proper drivers and support.

Not even Broadcom themselves have a lan driver for you.

It can only help to install the latest bios from here:

I downloaded the driver but no matter what i click on in the folder it doesnt do anything. When i click the flash it says onboard bios not award bios.

also since the problem started my computer has been acting wierd on startup, my ge force fan cranks to max right at the beginning, which is normal. It stays on too long however and i don not get any display whatsoever untilll it slows down, it is like 30 seconds longer than normal. Im not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i still freeze every 10-15 mins and have to restart

 

[Justin Hartung]

I also had a question, if it was my motherboard drivers why did it work fine all week? what changed from the first install? Does this maybe suggest hardware failure?

It sounds like you've got a bunch of problems here, but torrentg has them well in hand.
I'd like to suggest that there may be an issue with your video card because of this:

Please install this free program to see if it picks up the video card sensor: Download SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
