| 321837 | 2005-02-05 18:45:00 | hi, my computer freez up after few houres it turned on and it gets REAL slow after couple of hourse it turned on. when its freez i saw that the process csrss.exe takes 100% of the cpu, i can move my mouse but if i click a few times the computer makes beep and locked up complitly for few minutes. when the computer get slow, the csrss.exe is at 20-40 % of the processor, and when i open 3-4 windows of Internet Explorer it get very slow too. i ran Ad-Aware, SpyBot S&D, Norton, i formatted my computer twice, i used every test and diag. i could think of, every thing seems to be allright. i use win XP Pro, Processor P-4 1.8 Ghz ever since this problem started i get once in awhile this error msg: The instruction at "0x086cf688" referenced at "0x086cf688". The memory could not be "read". click ok to terminate the program. click cancel to debug the program. i hope you can help me... 10x Eitan. |

| 321842 | 2005-02-06 05:00:00 | that could be a possiblity but terry he formated his pc twice :) | Prescott (11) | ||
| 321843 | 2005-02-06 05:34:00 | Er, do you reapply service pack 1 and the hotfixes before you reconnect you to the internet (or at least have a firewall on) ? I was on a LAN that would infect you within seconds with a worm if you didn't have the hotfix/firewall installed. Check for memory problems with memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) |

| 321845 | 2005-02-06 23:52:00 | As Prescott pointed out, the problem wont be a worm, seeing as you have formatted twice. A RonTheRipper on this site and the same posting on 'umpteen' other help sites had a similar problem, but I couldn't find out if he found the answer. This site suggests looking at Power Options settings: www.joryanick.com |

| 321846 | 2005-02-07 00:08:00 | If the problem is intermittent and happens "after a few hours" it might be a marginal memory timing problem. Running a memory tester for an hour might not find it. Try running it overnight (though timing is temperature dependent, and it's usually cooller at night ;)). Try slowing the memory down one step. If the problem never happens after that, suspect the memory.:( | Graham L (2) | ||
