Windows 7 freezes, started randomly

[Surgikill]

I did the sigverif and it came back that all were signed. I went into the control panel and clicked on system. I did not find a hardware tab or anything else after that, mind you I am in safe mode.

Hi SurgiKill,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but I have done allot of searching on the "Security Process Loader Driver" and really did not come up with anything concrete on what the fix was for it with the exception of one. The instructions provided were to reinstall the drivers for the graphics card...Apparently that particular suggestion fixed that persons problem. Until I can come up with more info, it won't hurt to give that a try. You will need to find out what type of graphics card you have and go to the web site of it to get the latest ones.

I read that post too and I have done that multiple times. It hasn't helped at all. EVGA wants me to rma wy wotherboard but I am positive it is not a motherboard issue because it works in safe mode. I booted into normal made today and played call of duty for an hour straight. I then exihed and resumed the download for another one of my games while I went to go have a bowl of cereal. When I came back it was locked right up. I've also noticed that the boot ups are taking longer than usual and that could be an issue with the driver. Is there any way I can disable this driver?

Hi SurgiKill,
I am not certain this will disable it but here's the only way I currently know how:

1. Go to start, run, type: services.msc (press enter).
2. Scroll down till you see Security Accounts
3. Double click on it to open it up
4. To the immediate right of the box that should say "automatic" click on the little arrow and set it to Disabled.
5. After you click Ok, I usually like to reboot my computer

Hopefully that works...I will keep trying to find out more info and whenever that may be, I will let you know. In the mean time I wish you the best.

Alright it froze again. I was able to find the windows you were talking about but wasn't able to change anything. Here's the weird thing. I played a bit of cod, exited the game, and just let my computer sit while i ate dinner, about an hour, then i went back and it was fine, I then resumed a download on Steam and came back a bit later and it was frozen. As of the past few days all the times it has frozen except for two times steam has been downloading a game. Coincidence? Should I run Steam as admin? I'm really at the end of my rope and don't know what to do, it I could at least play games in safe mode I would be happy.

Hi SurgiKill,
I do not believe your situation will make a difference if something is run with admin previliges...How much memory does your computer have ?

 

[Surgikill]

4 gigs ddr3 1333

EDIT: I was wondering wolud boot logging help at all?

 

[Master Green]

Hi SurgiKill,
That's a very good question...At this point, I think Bootlogging can certainly not hurt and may even help simply because if it is a driver, it will log everything right up to crash time (in your case freeze time). So go for it.

 

[Surgikill]

t I updated my marvell yukin driver and I disabled "let the computer turn off this device to save power. It hasn't frozen yet. If it does again I'll go through with the bootlogging.

 

[Master Green]

SurgiKill,
Good work...Let's hope and pray...Thanks for hanging in there with me while we both tried to track that bad boy down. Keep me posted.

Hi SurgiKill,
I just read on another posting by someone else who is having a problem and one of the problems is the "security processor loader driver"...The expert who is assisting that person stated the following "The security processor loader driver error is most often not present when a system is infected"...

Since I do not know what you have for protection and do not evewr recall us discussing it, can you download Malwarebytes to your computer and run it in safe mode. You can run it as a quick scan or full scan, please run it in full scan (can take up to approx 40 mins to finish). Thank you.

 

[Surgikill]

I did that already came back clean. I also notice it takes a longer time than usual to boot up sometimes. Didn't know if that had to do with the driver. It has not frozen yet, I had an issue coming out of hibernate mode but it was not related because there was no static and the harddrive reset button worked. Other than that no issues. I have played call of duty and done ohter things as well. I will check in msinfor 32 to see if the spldr is an issue in regular mode.

Thanks.

Just froze again with the static. I was downstairs doing stuff and I came up stairs and moved the mouse and opened steam. I noticed it said it was disconnected from the net and I moused over the connection. It connected and then it froze. I am about ready to take my 10 gauge to it and call it a day.

 

[Surgikill]

Alright it froze again today while idle. Static through the speakers and all. I am at wits end. Should I try Ubuntu 64bit or something like that so I know its software related. As far as I know it is software related because it works fine in safe mode. Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

[Surgikill]

It froze while I was trying to reinstall windows, the harddrive was suspended in the on state and the motherboard displayed a code. ShouldI buy a new harddrive, rma the motherboard, or both?

 

[Surgikill]

Alright my computer is decommisioned as of now and the motherboard is in box and will be on its way to evga asap. Thanks for all the help guys, if it isnt fixed after the motherboard comes back the only other thing I can think of would be the cpu.

Thanks

Well, I have the same problem.
I did everything you wrote here, no unsigned drivers, tried different drivers, no CPU or memory error, etc.
I have an Asus G51VX-rx05 notebook, so the only thing, that's the same is: nVidia GPU.
I have this issue since I installed Win7 SP1. So I'm going to uninstall every updates, that were installed that day or later. I'll write the result tomorrow, because sometimes my computer doesn't crash for hours.

Thankgod I have the same problem!! it is rediculas! i've even switched from a DDR2 motherboard to a DDR3 motherboard because my DDR2 one would nolonger boot up after all the static-lockups! and im worried it's damaging my PC, today i even installed a different PSU and im still getting the same problem, I tried unplugging each hard drive i have one at a time and running the computer without to see if one of them was the cause but i got the static-freezes no matter what hard drive i took out, im pritty certain its a windows 7 driver not working with my BIOS,

though i too thought it was my graphics card for a long time I also tried removing it's drivers, installing different drivers and the latest, with no success

i've switched over my processor, motherboard, ram, graphics card and tested individual hard drives with my brothers, and no matter what I do im still getting the crashes, the only thing I've had all the way through this change of PC components is windows 7 and steam installed

all my temperatures are good and as above i have also run all the same tests with no nasty malware found, I also tried Dr Hardware, and benchmark tests, with no hardware tester showing any piece of my computer to be failing, I run speedfan and my voltage and temperatures all check out good! my temperatures never go above 40C for any of my components

Another point to add is this problem started nearly a month ago, around the time of Brink's launch, at first i thought it was a problem with brink, as after a few crashes in brink i labelled it as the culprit, but after switching to play other games i noticed this issue continued, and even outside games.

so there were a few things i concidered to be the main issue, one being a new version of direct X, or nvidia driver

after uninstalling and trying different drivers i found this to nolonger be possible.

However after 3 weeks of static freezy-lock-up-computer deaths today I did a registry fix on Iobit's advanced system care, and manually installed my gigabyte motherboard drivers ( rather than just let windows 7 install them) and the last 2 freeze-crashes have had no static sound accompanying them, which is odd after weeks of static-freeze deaths. Not sure if its just an oddity, but thought it worth mentioning
