Hoping someone can help.
Please excuse me if I use incorrect terms or don't quickly understand as I am a Mac person who uses PCs at work.
I have a MacPro Early 2009 running Windows 7 Pro 64bit via BootCamp.
Things were going fine until my work changed software in office. While creating a partition on the SSD and installing the image on to the partition, I now have constant crashes either when computer goes idle after the screen shuts off per power savings settings or if using the computer occurs between 35-40 minutes after the computer restarts. In fact it occurred writing this post.
I have never been able to see the BSOD, but either the screen does not wake with the keyboard, or if I do not allow the computer monitor to go off, clicking on the cursor either does not work or the cursor is not visible. Only a power button restart recovers.
Recently I have now begun getting error dialog boxes saying different things. One more repeated message is "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed" but when I look it is running. I have also begun receiving messages like "javaw.exe - Bad Image" from Explorer.exe or some other program - Bad Image.
I have tried a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a reformatted drive but the crash still occurs.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
