Lock Ups and WMI

[adrichards88]

Hello everyone,

I'm running Windows 7 on a custom build.

The problem: computer has a complete lockup. Mouse frozen, keyboard unresponsive, etc.

The activator: running windows update.

Event Viewer info: Application error and System error

level: error // source: WMI // ID: 10 // task category: none

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
​

Around the same time I found the following error under the system event tab:

level: error // source: services control manager //ID: 7001 // task category: none

The Computer Browser service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start.

​

As long as I stay away from windows update and IE (on certain websites), the computer won't lock up.

I also have a Fedora on a separate HD that doesn't experience any lock ups on this system, leading me to believe it is purely software related.

Any ideas???

Just found this post from another user. His symptoms match mine. I'll post back with an update if his fix worked for me.
