Ctrl+Alt+Del often doesn't work when something like a kernel driver crashes or if you have overclocked your computer too high and it locks up.

All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.
no overclocking

other than cpu is at 1.25volts memory is at 1.35volts ram bus is at 1.66volts 9-9-9-24 thats the most stable so far. i tried auto on my ai tweak and it crashes way more then. it has been locking up in my browsers ie and firefox. also it has froze on other apps in the past just seems like browsers now.

Stop using RegCure, it'll cause more problems than you need.

To test crashes/freezes the first thing to do is to check the system without overclocking. If it still crashes/freezes, then troubleshoot it without the overclock. Once the system is stable, then apply the overclock to see if it remains stable.

Umm no, CTRL+ALT+DELETE is a system interrupt which tells Windows to stop the current process and open the Windows Security dialog. The Windows Security dialog puts Windows into a secure desktop like UAC. CTRL+ALT+ESC is not an interrupt, just a standard hotkey.

However, again if the CPU is locked up it cannot receive the interrupt and inform Windows.

Windew420 - I hear what you are asking. Your original problem has been mitigated but not solved.

Other SF members, this is a continuing probelm- originally attributed to severe overheating @100C.

You might have lost some files from your previous overheating lock ups. I have no problems accessing the task manager. Although I suspect something else is causing this overheating problem besides just poor case flow.

You might try to use the command prompt and run sfc/scannow to get those files back.
