| 449745 | 2006-04-26 10:06:00 | hey there, just recently (since i disabled data execution protection) i have been plagued by random crashes. my computer just locks up, screen image is frozen, mouse or keyboard dont work. i have to reboot to get any action. what exactly could be causing it? without having to reinstall windows. after a year or so, i have windows tweaked so that it runs perfectly for me. any programs that could diagnose the problem. oh btw, i will not re enable data execution protection, it was constantly closing windows without any reason and giving no reason, even though i had disabled the offending program. | Tux (606) | ||
| 449746 | 2006-04-26 10:09:00 | When you start the window is it keep shutting down? | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 449747 | 2006-04-26 10:18:00 | when data execution protection was working, it just closed the window with an error, now its disabled, it could be anything, i could be in itunes and it locks up for instance | Tux (606) | ||
| 449748 | 2006-04-26 10:20:00 | im going to open it up and check the ram is seated correctly too, what i am afraid of is that the motherboard has a dry solder joint in it somewhere | Tux (606) | ||

| 449752 | 2006-04-27 08:33:00 | bump again | Tux (606) | ||
| 449753 | 2006-04-27 09:22:00 | When did this problem start to trouble you (i.e. after installing hardware / software etc.)? Have you done a memory test on your RAM? For more information on memory test, I believe Graham L will have a good idea. Cheers :) |
