Taskbar Freezing / Unclickable

[Barfish88]

Hi All

I have Win 7 7600 installed and every now and then the taksbar becomes unclickable. I have to ctrl+alt+del and the cancel it and then I can go on.

any ideas on what can be causing this.

I have updated the realtek drivers, nvidia drivers (got 6200 installed lol), updated bios.

As for program I have Firefox 3.5, Winrar, PowerISO installed. It is networked to my main pc running Vista X64 Ultimate.

are you by any chance using a wireless keyboard mouse?

 

[alecsio]

well. by chance yes xD

 

[Barfish88]

lol I think there is a bugger up with wireless users

 

[alecsio]

well. my old mouse died a few days ago. and i did think that would be the problem but...i dont have a wired one to check. man this crysis i can t buy even a mouse (the wireless one is just a replace from a friend )

 

[Barfish88]

Its fixed lol, been two days and not 1 problem. I changed the bios settings turning disabling most useless services. But I did install the update pack making its rounds around the net.

well i updated again my BIOS and it turns out that i can`t OC my CPU back to 3.2 and i still got random freezes...

 

[Barfish88]

did you apply the Windows 7 updates ?

First thing I would ask you> after 40 min things atarted happening.
1. How legit is your Version of Win7?
(enough questions?)

This loss of overclock in Win7 can usually be fixed by just adding a touch more voltage to the Northbridge. It's worked on quite a few systems so far.

i got the RTM now and it s not activated. but i experienced freezes even when i had the RC 7100 activated with official downloaded ISO. so i don t think the legit thing it`s the problem

 

[alecsio]

hey i realized that it freezes only at login (but sometimes) and when my pc is idle. i m afk for like 5 mins or so and when i come back i can`t click the taskbar. all other things work.

 

[Barfish88]

did you get it sorted, cause i just started happening again after i installed windows 7 manager.

 

[Barfish88]

what anti virus u using ?

 

[alecsio]

no i didn t solve it. but it happens quite rare now. i have kaspersky anti virus 2010

 

[Barfish88]

hmmm, some ppl say its a nvidia based bug. rip out your gfx card and test , as for me I am gonna disable some services

 

[Barfish88]

do you use vlc, I am trying to narrow it down.

 

[alecsio]

there have been 4 days and things seem to be back to normal. i changed my mouse (i bought a new one, also wireless) and no freeze no nothing. yes i use vlc. but as i said. things seem to be back to normal.
