Hello I recently got a new ssd drive. I installed windows 7 onto it and I formatted my old hard drive with xp to use as a storage drive.

 

Now the problem is when I am using a application or doing pretty much anything that program will lock up but everything else will work (sound still plays mouse still moves other programs work fine) but then all the other programs start to lock up and then the sound stops to work but I can still use my mouse. If I hover over the windows bar it will give my the loading mouse and I can not use ctrl+alt+del or other similar commands. Then if I leave it alone it will either unlock or it will blue screen of death and restart.

 

Any idea what this could be? Thanks!

 

My specs are:

Windows 7 ultimate x64

Amd Phenom x6

geforce 9600gt

4gb of ram

 

I have nothing overclocked and I have all drivers up to date. I have scanned with comodo and spybot s nd d but found nothing. I also checked my storage drive for bad sectors but it said there was none

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

1. Has this machine always done this since installing Win7?

 

2. Is the rest of the hardware Win7 compatible ?

 

3. If it blue-screens again could you make a note of the STOP ERROR and let us know what this says.

It may give us a hint as to what the problem is.

 

4. Does it do the same in Safe Mode?

Switch on and constantly tap F8 ( about once per second )

You will get a list of options - select Safe Mode from here. Graphics will look odd due to minimal drivers.

For the most part yes it has, but some times 3 times a day and then it would stop for a week.

 

should be it is all fairly recent stuff from the last year

The error suggests something to do with graphics drivers to i re installed them and turned off hardware acceleration and now I am seeing if it will crash again, thanks for the reply
