Random System Freezes-Vista
Posted by admin on Dec 7th, 2006
I performed a clean install of Vista from XP on a new Dell Dimension E250. The only problem I noticed thus far is a random system freeze lasting 3060 seconds and then the system resumes normal operation like nothing happened.Does anyone have a solution?

I have the exact same problem it will just become non responsive for a couple mins and then start to act normal again. It drives me up the wall. I have a dell dimension 9150. With Pentium d Processor and 2 gigs of ram. If anyone has a suggestion it would be greatly apprciated "jdavidm" wrote:

Same thing. It's been happening since I installed Vista, and I can't find any reason for it doing this. All my drivers are up to date and everything.I have a Dell XPS Pentium D, with 2 gigs as well.I wish someone would recognize this as an actual problem. It never used to do this under XP, so I can only assume it's a Vista related issue.

I agree with you. I have a AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dualcore system with 2 GB of RAM and despite a clean install and the latest drivers, I get these random freezes that last anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, after which the system continues to function most of the time. There have been times where it froze so long that I simply did a hard reset. I look forward to hearing what the solution is to this one.Regards,Ron"crazylegsmurphy" wrote:

Ditto on a brand new HP system ... very frustrating. I'm using a switch and occasionally toggle between the HP and a laptop, but there doesn't seem to be any connection. It happened again last night when the laptop wasn't even turned on."crazylegsmurphy" wrote:

Myself and a coworker are having this same issue as well. We both are running 64bit. My system is listed below, It was well endowed. Anyways, mine has frozen several times in the past 2 weeks. Sometimes, a CTRLALTDEL, would wake it up, and I would open task manager, but about 20 sec.s later, it would freeze again. A few times it froze and I had to hard reset. Another time it froze I was just printing pictures and halfway through it froze and stopped printing. Another time I was downloading a big file and it froze. It's all random when it freezes. Don't see anything in task manager hogging CPU, other than idle process. I think it's gotta be linked to a security update. I did the system restore as well before all this and still no good. Really no sure how to troubleshoot this issue.AMD X2 5000+ 4GB PC8500 RAM Gigabyte motherboard dual Nvidia 7600 GS video cards; PCIE 16 Seagate SATA 300GB Raid (Mirror) "Dooozle" wrote:

I have just built a new PC based on Vista Home premium and it too randomly freezes for a while then wakes up... often some processes continue to run during this frozen state while others refuse to function at all, I have noticed that all hard drive activity is suspended during these times... sometimes the mouse pointer becomes frozen too... and occasionally it requires a hard rebootI have run diagnostics on everything, updated drivers, flashed bios's etc. to no avail.If anyone can help I would really appreciate it, it is spoiling what would otherwise be a pleasurable computing experience!!Vista Home Premium Core 2 Duo E6700 Nvidia GTS 8800 320mb Asus P5NE SLI motherboard w/RealTek onboard sound SATA 500GB hard drive Wireless internet card...Anyone have any suggestions??"bodytech" wrote:

Vista freezes so often and so randomly I have resorted to using my old system and have VERY seriously considered loading XP on my new one... I really hope mickysoft gets off their heiny and finds out what the problem is... I know that it is not something related to peripherals... too many people with the same evil experiences... and by the way i tend to LOVE microsoft products... this has just driven me batty.
