Ramdom Problems

[niklas]

Hello all, I am having random problems with a few programs and like to see if anyone knows whats going on.

1 IE not responding
2 Windows live mail did not shut down properly
3 Spore crashes at random times
4 Windows Explorer Stoped responding

over the last month this has been going on. Sometimes the PC will work grate for 3 to 5 days with no errors, Then others days it will crash a program or 2 that day or for a few days ect.

I have all the latest updates for Windows 7 and my mobo drivers and bios are all up to date GPU cats 9.11 clean install used driver sweep to clean old ones.

I have ran prime95 for 2 hours no problems intel burn test pased on high ran memtest86+ v4.0 for 9 hours no memory errors.

I know this is a new OS and alot have bitched about vista but on my old C2D E8500 OCed to 3.8 vista ran like butter.

Maybe we need to give Win7 time and a SP or 2 so this OS shines ?

Any help would be grate thanks

Do you by any chance have AVG installed?

Anyhow, uninstall any antivirus you may have. Do not just disable as that will offer no benefit.

 

[niklas]

Sorry i forgot to post my protection NOD 32 by eset for windows 7 64 bit

 

[torrentg]

Alright yeah. You can uninstall that to test.

If you need to after, look at the event viewer for possible clues.

Could also try a good scan with Malwarebytes.

 

[niklas]

Will do, I will post back after some time without the nod32

 

[niklas]

Ok today i took out NOD 32 and ran Malwharebytes it found 1 item

Any help would be grate

BTW i am trying out firefox now to see if it explodes

 

[niklas]

Made a nfo zip

 

[Geo64]

I'd uninstall the Bonjour service. You can Google how to do that the correct way and completely.

In the start menu, type services.msc then hit enter.

Disable ATI External Events Utility and set the PnkBstr services to manual start.

 

[niklas]

If i uninstall bonjour then the kids wont be able to use there ipod no ?
