System Freezes within 1-2 hours of start

[kalpsr]

My Dell Vostro 230 system is encountering a strange problem.
It freezes withing 1-2 hours after I start it everyday.
When it freezes the screen gone blank, only cursor shows.
I have already ran Dell Diagnostics Test without any errors.
Also checked Hdd with Seatools and Ram with memtest86 without any errors.
Also formatted and re-installed Win 7 Pro 64bit with latest updates without any luck.
The strange thing is that, after freeze I have to just hard reboot the system.
After that system will work flawlessly whole day !

Any help provided is valuable.

Hi kalpsr, Welcome to Seven forums.

Have you tried logging to Safe mode and checking? If the PC does freeze in safe mode then it possibly is an issue with drivers or software. Do you have multiple Anti viruses installed?

Try to update the graphic card drivers to latest. Download the latest drivers and also download "Driver Sweeper". Uninstall the drivers and run driver sweeper to remove the left overs of the old drivers. Install the latest drivers for the card.

Also, Run SFC /SCANNOW to check for errors on system files.

Keep us posted.

I am running only Quickheal, it's an admin console client 4.6. I tried to start system in safe mode also. It starts fine but it is not feasible to work in Safe Mode for 2-3 hours. Because it happens only 1 time daily after I start it. I also tried by changing the Graphics Card with an Nvidia 9500GT but problem remains same. Also ran Driver Sweeper and then installed fresh driver for 9500gt i.e. (332.21-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql). SFC also didn't find any problematic files. Please guide further.

You got to run SFC SCAN atleast 3 times to get the results.

 

[kalpsr]

Yes I got not any single error after completing sfc 4 times.

Cleaning the contacts on the RAM and vid card with high purity alcohol fixed the same problem for my computer. However, your new vid card should not require cleaning.

 

[kalpsr]

Yes also tried cleaning RAM with ISOPropyl. And Graphics Card is new and problem remains same with both Cards. So, I don't think its the culprit. Any more suggestions??

Why would you think this ?

Does the problem happen when using Sleep mode?

But the way he worded it, get the results, threw me.

You get the results on the 1st pass.

Good idea.

There is probably a flag in the task bar on the right side - 'flying' to the right, with maybe a red circle with an 'X' in it. Check that out.

Try going to: Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer | Summary of Administrative Events to view recently logged errors.

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

This is one suspicious error i am getting in event viewer.

Another one is :

The Remote Access Connection Manager service terminated with the following error:
The specified module could not be found.

And Sometimes :

Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.
