Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Vista Freezes
Hi, For some reason my computer keep freezing for no reason. It has been working fine before. I am running windows vista 32 bit. When it freezes I cant move my mouse or do anything so i have to turn it off from the mains and turn it back on. Currently i am using safe mode with networking. I tryed the system restore to restore it back to the last windows update which i thought might have been the problem since the computer was working fine until i installed it. But it didn't do anything, it says that the restore was successful but my computer still froze about 5-10 mins after startup. I don't know why. The Specs are Windows vista home premium Geoforce 8600 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20 GHz 2046 RAM  SignatureBosher2007 http://forums.techarena.in A freeze is most often a Video driver problem. Look at Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) or the Performance Monitor (perfmon /rel). Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) will let you 'roll back driver' Signatureclick the Ratings button.

SignatureBosher2007 http://forums.techarena.in You should really update all your drivers, Vista drivers for almost all hardware have done nothing but get better. Usual culprits are Sound and video, start there. > What does the event manager and performance manager do??? > i dont need to roll back my driver cos i havent updated them at > all...all i did was do the update that windows told me to do..i think > it was SP1 for vista. If your using the latest Nvidia drivers by any chance,then try the 169.25 versions... Same problem here,this fixed it.
