    Computer freezes and locks up
    « on: April 20, 2008, 04:23:24 PM »
    My computer has started locking up and freezing. A lot of the times when I use mozilla firefox. Sometimes because of my screensaver. Mostly seems to be when I use Mozilla though. If I click a link or any button in FF it will lock up. Sometimes it locks up randomly, even when I'm doing nothing. Here is a log file from Hijack This

    I see no infection.
    You have nVidia firewall running. Is your Windows firewall on, or off?
    BTW, nVidia built-in hardware firewall is pretty poor, so we'll have to sort it out.

    We need some computer info: processor speed, amount of RAM, hard drive size/free space. On-board video, or separate video card?

      Nice setup :)
      We need to get rid of nVidia firewall, first.
      Go Start>Run, type in:
      cmd
      Click OK.

      In Command Prompt window, type in:
      sc stop nSvcIp
      Hit Enter.
      Type in:
      sc delete nSvcIp
      Hit Enter.

      Restart computer. Post new HJT log.

        Good, nVidia firewall service is gone...

        Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
        Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

        You may defrag afterwards.

            I analyzed and it said that it didn't need to be defragged. But I did it anyway. I'll update tomorrow to say if it is still hanging and freezing.

            Thanks.

            Sometimes because of my screensaver.
            Some custom made, or Windows one?
            Also, try Safe Mode, and see, if it hangs there.

              The Screen Saver is electric sheep.

              Change screensaver to some Windows native.
              Use Firefox Safe Mode for a few hours - Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox>Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode), and see, if the freezing still happens.

                I had two versions of firefox installed, as I was trying the new beta version. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it, and it removed the older version from my programs list. I have a shortcut on my desktop to Firefox, but I can't access safe mode due to it being removed from programs list, and I don't want to reinstall right now. But, Firefox hasn't frozen again yet. If it happens to do so, I will re-install  and see how that does.

                Yeah, installing FF2, and FF3 on the same machine wasn't a good idea, unless you know how to do it.
                You'll have to clean that mess up.
                This is how to totally uninstall Firefox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

                  Did a clean install of Firefox 2. Will update how it all works out, and if any freezes or lock-ups occur.

                  Thanks
