509042	2006-12-24 00:06:00	Sometimes when I exit something, e.g. Firefox my computer hangs. What I mean is I can move the mouse around (sometimes) but I cannot click anything and down in the taskbar Firefox is still displayed as being open. And sometimes it does the above, and then a beep comes from the computer and then I can't move the mouse at all. It hangs or lags or whatever you care to call it for anywhere between 5 - 30 seconds... Why is it doing this? This computers nearly brand new. Got it about 3 weeks ago. Intel Celeron 3.06Ghz (single core) ASUS P5VDC-MX motherboard XFX MX4000 PCI video card ANCIENT (5 - 6 years old) Maxtor 40GB HDD - Did a format 3 weeks ago when we got the computer, has about 10GB of space on it And 512mb of some kind of ram Why is it doing this? By the way, it doesn't do it EVERY time. Help please Thanks.	Fishy (10540)
509043	2006-12-24 00:26:00	Well first of all you had the stupidity to get a Celeron... :p What programs are doing it? all? a few? many? etc etc, list them, open Task Manager and see what is hogging the CPU. Run HijackThis (www.download.com) and post the log. What Anti Virus/ Anti Spyware are you running? Is the RAM ok? did you test it for faults when you got it? (Memtest 86 (http://www.memtest86.com/)) Also is anything overclocked? CPU stable? (burn in tested (users.bigpond.net.au)?)	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
509044	2006-12-24 08:31:00	We couldn't afford a better CPU and I just got the IT guy to pick the best cheap parts so this will do. I'm using AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido) and AVG free. In task manager System Idle Process and sometimes guard.exe (which is AVG anti-spyware) are hogging the most CPU. That's cos AVG anti-spyware scans everything that comes and goes on the computer. Can't do the memtest cos you gota put it on a floppy disk and I don't have one. Got a drive, but no disk. Nothing is overclocked cos i'm to scared of overheating it and plus I don't know how. Burn in test thing was fine.

The things it's done it in so far is Firefox and explorer windows e.g. My Documents and My Computer. What is odd is that when closing games e.g. Need for speed underground 2 and CSS it doesn't do it...Strange because they use alot more resources than Firefox! Thanks for any suggestions.

509045	2006-12-24 08:48:00	Older versions of Firefox had this problem, upgrade to ver 2.001 if you don't have it.	zqwerty (97)
509046	2006-12-24 09:04:00	The latest version of FF does it periodically on my machine as well, usually when I am closing a tab in FF. Since it doesn't affect anything else I do I don't worry to much about it.	winmacguy (3367)
509047	2006-12-24 09:55:00	Yea ive got 2.001 And it's not just firefox it did it on my documents a couple of times too. and sometimes when it hangs the computer beeps (its the beep when you hold down up,left and down all at the same time on the arrow pad on the keyboard, that same beep) and then the mouse becomes unmovable for about 30 seconds (and yes ive replaced mouse batteries its not that)	Fishy (10540)
509048	2006-12-24 10:37:00	Well you can download a bootable CD version of memtest and put it onto a CDRW, that is what I do... As for the log, re run in safe mode and remove these entries: C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe O2 - BHO: CVirtualDNSObj Object - {86C510E9-97EF-4749-914F-0280247BE3A6} - C:\WINDOWS\VirtualDNS.dll (file missing) O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: S&end to OneNote - {2670000A-7350-4f3c-8081-5663EE0C6C49} - C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office12\ONBttnIE.dll O9 - Extra button: Send to OneNote - {2670000A-7350-4f3c-8081-5663EE0C6C49} - C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office12\ONBttnIE.dll	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

509050	2006-12-24 21:32:00	There are new downloads for this board on the asus web site dated 22/12/06, support.asus.com sounds to me like memory issues, you didnt say which RAM modules you are using!, value RAM?, you may wish to check compatiblity with the mobo. There are new BIOS which normally produce better stablilty, and greater range of memory classes. You could try a BIOS upgrade! edit - Merry Xmas...hehe	SolMiester (139)
