I just dont understand whats causing my computer to freeze. My CPU and Rams are only like 1 month old, i know its not the CPU or RAMs problem or other hardware because it runs fine is safe mode.

it doesnt go to Blue screen, it just freezes.
im playing this game for like 5 minutes, then the game moves totally in slow motion and if i leave it there, i can see people chatting with delay. when i try to exit it, it just freezes, keyboard and Mouse wont work

When i try out this other game, its in windows mode, so im playing and when the freezes comes, it freezes everything except my game. My game is running fine, but if i click anything out side, everythign freezes.

Same thing goes for browsing websites, it freezes everyting, allows me to move my mouse for 20 sec before it freezes.

I tried everything:

Deleting 30 GB of stuff
Used Malwarebytes and took out 3 trojans
update my drivers with driver magician
fully scanned my computer from virus, clean
cleaned my registry..

It started when i downloaded this game, and from that point on, it always happened, but i deleted the game and did all those things above.
Oh yeah i also tried system restore but it doesnt allow me. im in safe mode right now and everythign is running fine..

Really need some help :/

Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Post your computer temperatures:

Provide processor info (hold Windows logo key, and hit Pause/Break key to find out).

Post two sets of temperatures, while computer idle, and while playing game.

Start playing the game, and watch "Core0", and "Core1" temps.

oh okay, so what do i title the post to indicate what problem im having?

Broni · « **Reply #12 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:47:05 PM »

It really doesn't matter.

simple182 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2009, 01:39:43 AM »

hmm no luck, no virus, no trojan, no anything.

Could it be something with the updates or my OS?

JJ 3000 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 24, 2009, 01:54:51 AM »

Do you have Norton antivirus?

How old is your computer?

simple182 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 24, 2009, 09:32:13 AM »

nope i have AVG,

Not sure what ur question is on how old my computer is tho but i just bought my motherboard,CPU, and RAM 2 months ago. My video card is pretty old tho.

Also, could over clocking be a problem? because i remember my brother overclocked it once and it started to restart the computer when im playing a game or make my game all fuzzy and boxed pixel and then restart my comp. Then my brother brought it down alittle i think and it stopped all that.
But i cant reach him right now, he wont be back in 2 months, so could over clocking be a problem?

Why are his Temp1 and Temp2 settings both at 127C? That's more than adequate to boil water.

Broni · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2009, 08:30:58 PM »

Those are 99% fake.
This is what SpeedFan does, if it can't read a sensor, or some sensor is missing.

Quantos · « **Reply #18 on:** July 24, 2009, 08:52:53 PM »

Okay, so that one is like the misread voltages that keep popping up.

Broni · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2009, 08:55:17 PM »

If any doubt, I recommend to use another temperature reading program, like Everest.

simple182 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:05:55 PM »

can i get a link to that

Idle, or while gaming?

simple182 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 27, 2009, 12:15:36 AM »

idle, its also happening sooner now. I just go on browsing webs and a simple reading an article for like 7 mins causes it to freeze also.

and now its happening in safe mode.

It said under my CPU speed in the EVEREST program:
CPU FSB 348.49 MHz (orginal: 100MHz, overclock: 249%)
CPU Clock: 2613.61 Mhz (Original: 2600 MHz)
CPU multiplier : 7.5x

could that be a problem?

patio · « **Reply #25 on:** July 27, 2009, 05:51:09 AM »

Yes.
That would cause overheating...

simple182 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:53:39 AM »

can i get some help setting it to normal?

simple182 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 27, 2009, 01:41:59 PM »

I have just installed Vistas. Currently downloading the shooter game to see if it happens again.

patio · « **Reply #28 on:** July 27, 2009, 06:41:44 PM »

Remove the CMOS battery from the MBoard...'bout the size of a Dime...with all power unplugged...
Wait 10 minutes and hit the power switch a few times to remove any built up power,
Replace the battery and power up.

simple182 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:31:08 PM »

Vistas version working fine. Corrupted windows i guess. Thanks for help all

You must have really big dimes where you live, here it's about the size of a quarter.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #31 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:07:35 PM »

ACtually, I just checked... it is the same size as a dime... maybe a millimeter difference...

Quantos · « **Reply #32 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:43:28 PM »

What? It looks bigger than that, what model battery?

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #33 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:47:48 PM »

CR2032

Quantos · « **Reply #34 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:48:37 PM »

That's bigger than a Canadian Dime.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #35 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:51:19 PM »

Not by much.

It's closest in size to a penny, though.

Quantos · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2009, 08:13:41 PM »

What part of Canada do you live in?

Do you have the same coins we do?

The battery in my welding mask is the same size as a quarter roughly, same battery.

JJ 3000 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 29, 2009, 10:53:16 PM »

You're both wrong. It's the size of a nickel.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2009, 09:09:33 AM »

nickel's a teensy bit larger, but definitely closer then a dime or penny.

Broni · « **Reply #39 on:** July 30, 2009, 05:18:47 PM »

OK guys...

diameters:

- CMOS battery - 19mm
- dime - 17.91mm
- nickel - 21.21mm
- penny - 19.05mm

patio · « **Reply #40 on:** July 30, 2009, 05:30:36 PM »

DIME ? ?

Broni · « **Reply #41 on:** July 30, 2009, 06:43:39 PM »

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #42 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:06:45 PM »

ahh, but bear in mind- at least I think- that there might be small differences between US change and canadian change.

Broni · « **Reply #43 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:12:43 PM »

Shut up....LOOOOOOOOL

Quantos · « **Reply #44 on:** July 30, 2009, 10:14:53 PM »

I'd never measured it, but I always thought it was closer to a quarter.
