| 1271956 | 2012-05-05 01:43:00 | 90 mins maybe OK. It may depend on how many sticks you've got. I would wait for the PSU, chuck it in. Then see how it goes | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1271957 | 2012-05-05 08:59:00 | I've been getting a similar problem with my Win7 PC at work. Last thing I noticed was while running ok Skype was not working via usb headphones (skype messaging was ok). After some research and finding similar symptoms I've turned off power management on usb devices and so far had no freeze ups. If it runs all next week I will be happy |

| 1271958 | 2012-05-05 20:51:00 | I've turned off power management on usb devicesHow did you do this? Just in Device Manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" > "USB Root Hub"? Or somewhere else (like on the USB device itself, i.e. mouse or keyboard)? Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. |

| 1271959 | 2012-05-05 20:57:00 | The only entries (that I can see that have power management), are the USB hub entries under USB controllers, the mouse, the kb, the NIC, and firewire if you've got it. You dbl click on them and click on the power management tab | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1271960 | 2012-05-05 21:11:00 | OK I've turned off power management on the USB Root Hub. The mouse and keyboard had this option greyed out anyway (probably because I'd disabled on USB Root Hub). Will let you know how I get on. Cheers, Mike. |

| 1271961 | 2012-05-05 21:49:00 | I can now confirm that it didn't help :( worth a try though Cheers, Mike. |

| 1271962 | 2012-05-05 22:23:00 | Yes it was USB Root Hub. I have also started updating drivers but have a long way to go on that task | Ofthesea (14129) | ||
| 1271963 | 2012-05-10 03:25:00 | well it wasn't the PSU :( installed the new one today and I'm still getting the same thing. Usually just freezing, sometimes a BSOD. Will try re-running memtest shortly, if that doesn't show any issues I'll try reinstalling Windows. <sigh> Mike. |

| 1271964 | 2012-05-10 03:52:00 | Wouldn't go counting on Memtest to be 100% sure either. Had it a few times on problem computers, left memtest running over night, no errors, change RAM and it works fine. Have you actually looked at the event logs and the reliability monitor logs, often they will put entries in that give some sort of guide as to the problem. |

| 1271965 | 2012-05-10 04:04:00 | How long does memtest take to run for you that it needs to run overnight? This has been going for 23mins now and it's at 90%... I have looked in the logs but didn't find anything useful (I think because mostly it just crashes/freezes, so computer not functioning enough to log it. But I'll take another look now that it's been a couple of weeks it might have caught something by now. Mike. |
