Computer Frezzeing at desktop

**tree_frog** · 07-18-2009, 02:34 AM

when i start my computer everything goes as normaly planned but when i get to the desktop it decides to freeze up on me everything seems to work but the mouse and keyboard and sometimes the whole computer freezes up is there anyone who knows maybe what this is. It just started acting up yesterday and i have never had this problem before

please give me everything you know about your computer.
specs, start up programs, os, etc etc

Usually this is the problem:
1. You have multiple Antivirus programs running. The antivirus programs could also be trying to do a scan or update when you get on.
2. You just have too much garbage on startup.
3. You have both the above and viruses

What you need to do?

Boot into safe mode (usually F8 before windows is loaded brings you to the selection screen for it)

Go start > run or in vista the search box at the bottom of start.

Type in msconfig

Click the services tab.

Check the box that says hide microsoft services.

Disable everything that is not necessary (if your confused about this post screenshots)

Go to the startup tab

uncheck everything that is not necessary (screenshots, again)

By necessary I mean a driver program, things like nvidia, realtek, intel, audio programs, ATI, jmicron, etc... Disabling these will hurt more than help.

Try starting up in normal mode again.

Let me know the results.

And yet also i cannot get to my screenshot photos for this either. So here is the long as hell part 2 of the Startup tab i am just going to type in here what they are not command or location because they would just be taking along time.

Quick Note i am Also getting a Freeze up on the main menu like the first screen when you turn on the computer like mine says dell f2 for setup and f12 for boot menu and sometimes will freeze there

i guess i am going to try and repartition the drive and get xp installed back on it.

If your freezing at post, then that's an entire different story. Where did it freeze at post, it should start listing things like your processor, memory, attached drives, etc..

The post freeze issue needs to be resolved before we can figure anything else out.

Also, were you able to get into safe mode? Did Windows freeze in safe mode?

Is this a laptop computer or a desktop? Is it still under warranty?

**tree_frog** · 07-19-2009, 10:56 AM

Nevermind i just reformated the drive and put everything back on it.
Its working fine now so we are good and it works fine now

Alright leme know if it keeps freezing at post. If your warranty is already expired I'd just take the side off and blow the fans out with a compressed air can. Something coulda been overheating.
