[RESOLVED] Pc strange freezing

Hi guys...

I got this strange problem...

My mouse just freezes clicks, my task bar freezes and i can use the TAB key.

To unfreeze i have to press the WINDOWS button or in the worst case press CTRL+ALT+DEL and click anything in the Task Manager windows to unfreeze things....


I was told fo reinstall windows...i did, 3 times...and still the same thing happends...

I changed mouse, changes USB port, changed to ps/2...still it does the same problem...


Well sometimes when that happends i get like a tiny square just above the pointer which show up it i keep the pointer still....

Any idea? :cry: :cry: :cry: :eek2:

What kind of a PC do you have?

How old is it?

How long has this been happening?

Did you install anything new just before it started happening?

Well it's a 4600+ it's a good pc...

I formatted it 3 times..and still the same things happend..with 3 different windows.... whici i have previously installed and worked before...

MAybe thing started when i had my first copy..and installed CursorFx which had to change my PC sid..ro something...?

This is a very common problem with CursorFx. You don't need to press Ctrl-Alt-Del. Simply Unhook the mouse and attach it again... Try it out ...

No m8 i uninstalled cursor fx, and i reinstalled windows 3 times! without using again cursofrfx

but whn i installed cursorfx the first time on my 1st windows it changed my pc sid.

maybe it's that what's causing the problem?

and i dont know how to change it again :S

pc sid

Sorry Whats that?

This is what i did:

1. Run News SID.exe (Vista's Users - Run as administrator and make sure you have UAC Enabled)
2. When prompted, input the following SID S-1-5-21-350281380-233495102-1455855570
(No need to change further data)

and then i pressed next...i notices troubles after that... :(

and now everytime i format my pc i get the same troubles with my mouse nad this intructions wwere given when installing a software called Cursor FX

are you doing "upgrade" installs?

What do u mean by taht...

I only tried one installl of cursorfx

After that i changed 3 windows and still the same thing...

i discovered that mouse click is disabled and also keyboard but the TAB is enabled lol.

i don't know what to do?

Did you do a fresh install after formatting the disk or just over the existing windows installation?

i did a fresh install...i formatted my main disk where windows are going....it's strange that sometimes it happens alo..and sometimes for an hour i dont get the freeze....

I added this image..could it be because or the IRQ settings? :(

Restart your computer and go to BIOS.
You will find an option to load fail safe defaults (this might be named differently but with similar names in different BIOS makes).
After loading those settings, see if the problem is gone.

Also, what happens if you boot Windows in safe mode. Does the problem occur in safe mode also?

Pradeep :)

the first thing i would do would be to install the driver for the audio controller.

Well thje driver was installed adn eversthing was with the previous 3 windows version..adn still thing were happening....

Altough... ididn't noticed any problems in the VIRTUAL MACHINE wmvare udner linux...ok ill go try the bios thing now...will see...

and i dont think that i had problems unde rsafe mode...but ill try that too...

thanks guys for your ideas and replies!!!


edit:

i loaded safe defualts and it seems that solved the problem LOL
nothgin happened again till now...

Pradeep1210 thanks for the idea..i never tought of that LOL

Glad to know that this solved your problem. :)

But you should understand that when you load fail safe defaults, your PC is not giving you its best performance.

In case, loading the fail safe defaults solved your problems, you can try keeping those settings for a few days to confirm that the problem is really solved with this.
Then pick up the settings one by one and start experimenting to know which of those settings is causing the problem. Change the settings one by one; maybe one or two settings per day. So after you have identified which one is causing problems, you can be cautious to stumble upon it in the future, and enable the other settings to their maximum performance.

Pradeep :)

Yeah....

Im still seeing sometimes those squares..but i didn't have any problems so far... :D finally :D :D :D

ill keep an update on this matter on this topic...

See ya soon with updates :D

same thing happening again :(

Did the problem happen before you started using the ps/2 mouse? If it is the mouse you are talking about what brand is it?

Ummm...
Just a thought..
Could this be a virus activity?
Have you tried scanning your PC for malware (viruses. adware, Trojans etc.).

Pradeep

if it's a usb mouse, try it in a different slot. Also, it's possibly a video issue since you see this little square. You could try installing a different version of your video driver, or even turning down graphics acceleration. One notch from full i believe gives you "software mouse"

Sure i scanned my pc several times...

I swithced us ports and even PS/2.

ALtough i tried diagnositc startup in msconfig i get the error : Access Denied error was returned when attempting to change the service...i shut down my antivirus but still the same...

im gonna try safe mode now...and be there a while xD



edit:

tried safe mode...same thin happends...

now i removed 1 gb of ram...and i'll see now..maybe taht helps...

but still im amused how everything works smoothly on ona virtual machine LOL

try rolling back video driver to a previous one. You don't happen to have an ATI video card do you? It can lock up when the card errors, then it auto-resets the driver. In the mean time your system is frozen.

Nope i got nvidia 8600gt...

When i had th previous versions of windows i had different video drivers...but k...ill put other drivers...k...

i'll let you know...

i have that card. Never had any graphics glitches like that. Is your mouse wireless?

Nope m8---
my mouse is has his cable.and it's usb...i chaned that mouse with another one...

and as i said i even sithced from usb to ps/2

i really don't kow aht that could be...because even in safe mode i have the same problems :( ,and even formatting...i tought about irq problems as i psoted the pic ...
