rasberrybeard Report post Posted January 13, 2010 The Problem -I run el for 5-10 minutes and my computer completely freezes and the only way I can unfreeze is a hard restart. This is a VERY recent problem. What I know -I have installed nothing that could be causing this. -It freezes twice as fast if I have other apps open. -El is the ONLY program that this happens with. -There is nothing in the EL error log, nor should there be, the whole screen is frozen solid when it happens. What I tried so far -Updating GFX Drivers -turning off eye candy/using poor man -running el in compatibility mode for vista and xp -running el in admin mode -System Restore -Complete deletion and reinstilation of EL My DXDIAG for your reference Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: CLEVO System Model: D900C BIOS: BIOS Revision: D900C 1.00.05 LS2 Processor: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM Page File: 1503MB used, 6683MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 32bit Unicode ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ Display Tab 1: No problems found.

Learner Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Overheating systems, video card, and failing power supplies have been known to do things like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revi Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Yep, happened to me as well (overheating video card => apparent freeze). Also, "-I have installed nothing that could be causing this." means for me: "I have installed things, but I assume they shouldn't be causing this". Not the first time something like that would bite a user, and it's not a help in finding the cause of the problems. So please, state what you installed (or at least that you installed things), or that you didn't install anything... (and installing anything includes updates...)
