| 312162 | 2005-01-08 18:53:00 | I have a problem with my computer locking up after about 10 to 12 hours,and not running any programs,allthough running programs does speed up the process a bit. I ran it in safe mode and it still did it. I left the Windows Task Manager on the desktop and noticed that csrss had spiked at 100% at the time of the locK. I checked for spyware, adaware and Viruses and nothing shows up. I've done every hardware test you can think of for the Hard drives, memory,cpu,video card, motherboard etc etc. This still happened after a reformat. Its not a video card problem because I've tried another. I'm usally pretty good at fixing stuff like this,but I can't figure this out for the life of me. CPU Temp-40 deg C WinXP DirectX 9 QDI Mainboard Pent 3 733 NVidia TNT Video Card also tried NVidia 3800 Creative Sound Blaster Card 512 mem ram Maxtor 40 gig and a Seagate 80 gig D-Link DFE-530TSX Any help would be appreciated. |

| 312166 | 2005-01-09 03:03:00 | Ok ran Process Explorer and found out that winsrv.dll is the culprit causing the 100% spike in Csrss.exe. What would cause this?? | RonTheRipper (6801) | ||
| 312167 | 2005-01-09 04:03:00 | Does csrss.exe show up in msconfig/Startup Is there a csrss.exe file in the root of your C drive? (may have to turn on show all files to see it) How many instances of csrss.exe are showing in Task Manager/Processes and why are there 2 threads on the same subject? |

| 312169 | 2005-01-14 00:15:00 | Boot to your XP CD and use the recovery console to repair system files. The best way to do this is manually one at a time until you get to winsrv.dll, to ensure that files are not overwritten by newer ones, but it's realy tedious work (1000's of files to click yes/no to), unless you have a slipstreamed CD with SP 1 or 2 on it, although the i386 protected files including windows updates should be ok, .dll's, etc, from other sources may not be. There could also be other files involved, .dll hell. There is some suggestion that winsrv.dll can be HDD, regidtry or BIOS related. Check the disk for errors, scan the registry for conflictsIs and errors. Is there an updated BIOS available (last resort)? |
