Windows 7 freezes

Hi!
Thanks but it did not work. I think it's the illness of Windows 7. They have to find the cure or else, it will turn out to be e mess to everyone. I have read latest complaints about the slow response, performance, etc by W7 and this only shows, the cure is not found yet.
I just hope microsoft is working on this. I thought I made the right decision to buy new notebook with W7 but I am regretting since the day I purchased.

Mine keeps freezing as well, I'm going to try reupdating all my drivers and if it happens again, I'm going to try to remove the graphics card back to a very original one.

Specs:
Processor: AMD Turion x2 Dual Core Movile UM-70 2.00GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
System type: 32-bit OS

I agree. My desktop doesn't freeze too much, but my Toshiba laptop freezes all the time. I checked and disabled many add ons but still N.G.

All my drivers are up to date, and I do not have asus motherboard, and its mainly when I am copy and paste files within the my pc environment.
Its the win7 infrastructure thats the problem, its too wide spread to be only one or two drivers. I am so very disappointed with ms over this. and seriously thinking of returning to xp.

Hello guys. I am not answering the question, but came in here since I thought it's related to my problem. Pls. bear with me ... my problem is, when my comp hibernates, it never wakes up properly ... always takes a long time, and then it will reboot. It's a major irritant for me. Anybody can help? Thanks.

I realize this thread is largely about freezing, but for those who are getting the sudden, random shutdowns with the useless kernel-power 41 error in the system event log, try one or more of the following where applicable:

-Uninstall AMD Catalyst Control Center (if you have it).
-Change Win7 power management from "Balanced" to "High Performance"
-Remove the HDMI playback device on your playback devices (right-click volume icon > playback devices)
-Uninstall vendor-provided Realtek NIC driver and let Windows Update install the WDM version.

Those tips were based on extensive reading about this problem I did on the Net. I tried all those last night and today was the first day I haven't had the sudden shutdown. My PC has been up and active for 5+ hours (including an hour of intensive gaming and playing with virtualbox, along wth lots of surfing). My rig is a cheap refurbed Dell Inspiron 546MT, AMD Phenom II X4 820 (with Cool-n-Quiet enabled), Win7 64-bit and Radeon 4670.

Of course 5+ hours isn't that long but it's the longest so far that this PC has been going without a crash since I got it. Mine could shutdown any second but I'm getting a good feeling that one or more of the above changes may have taken care of it.

Good luck!

thanks for this post, ill try this since im getting the same case...

Thanks for the hard work. It surely will help many on this forum.

I've had a lot of problems with my PC freezing over the last several of months. At first, it only froze once every few days, usually while gaming. Then, it got to the point where it was freezing several times a day. Next, my internet connection would fail every 5 minutes. I would have to reset the gateway constantly.
I was cursing Windows 7. I reinstalled my OS several times to no avail. I even went back to XP. However, it was happening in Win XP too. I could not find any pattern to the problem.
Finally, I stripped everything out of my case, and reinstalled each component, after my PC failed to boot one day. It would get stuck at "verifying dmi data" and go no further.
I eventually discovered that the problem has something to do with USB. I had to unplug my USB hub and MP3 player to finally get the darn PC to work. My USB keyboard/mouse does not cause any problems. I thought maybe it was a bad port, but it doesn't matter which port I am plugged into. I have left my hub and Sansa Fuze MP3 player unplugged for a week now, and everything is running great! (Sorry, for cursing at you, Windows!)
