Hi there, i know its not the first post regarding such problem, and i've read a couple of such threads here as well but what i got is a different problem.
here it is
years back i started to have problem with my laptop it began to freeze randomly, then i figured it was the wi-fi , which was doing it , couldn't find a solution
to the problem back then so disabled wi-fi and sent the laptop to my office workers who never need to use internet.
a few days back i brought it back home as i bought a new one for office
Now, using USB dongle to connect to the internet it worked fine for 2 days(os xp sp2), but after that it started freezing like earlier.
I was using xp sp2, on my machine, now , installed a clean copy of windows 7 , installed the usb data card driver and started the internet and it freezes the whole comp still.
Interesting thing is , my laptop hangs even at windows startup screen while the usb data card is plugged in, now this is really really strange.
This was the case with the wi-fi too, so i never installed the driver for the wi-fi again.
And still it'll sometimes work for like 2-20 minutes other times it'll hang as soon as i click connect.
Nothing works so have to use hard reset button everytime.
I've tested usb ports thoroughly its surely not a problem with the usb ports.
Its not like i m a noob with computers and internet, but couldn't figure out the problem this time. Please help guys^^
Zenith laptop,
1.6ghz
1.25gb ram
My tries :
OS tried xp sp2, windows 7
Try safe mode also in both os versions
Disk Defrag, disk cleanup, cookie cleanup
event viewer is empty
memory doesnt get to 100% either, i had task manager running all the time and cpu never reached 100%
disk space couldnt be a problem over 25gb free on system drive
all the drivers are fully updated to my knowledge and to drivermax software results
installed norton 360 fully updated and fully scanned without 0 errors/virus
I BELIVE ITS A HARDWARE PROBLEM SO POSTED IT HERE
