Title: Strange things.
Post by: Holy Man on September 09, 2006, 04:55:05 PM

Ok well today is saturday and in the peroid of 20 mins my comp locked up 3 times, I had to restart 3 times is what i mean because of it freezing.

Anthour thing is sometimes the computer will lock up for a split seconed and make a weird zzzz noize from the speakers if i have some type of audio playing. And will do this many times until a restart. (It mostly happens when i run programs that take alot of memory togather. (Like photo shop and 3-4 pages of firefox.)

Anouthour thing i have noticed in the past couple days is that my processes are taking up more mem useage. Things such as spysweeper that used to take up 15k is now taking up 25k, EXPLORER.EXE used to take up like 8k now is taking up 15k. what is going on.

Any help?

Are you asking me for help?
Or someone else?

I know you can't be asking me, because ealier I asked for a GMER log and you said you didn't find anything
Which is very unusual so you didn't post a log from it

Then I asked you to post a log from WPFind
You didn't post back

So I guess you must be asking others for a hand

I hope you get this resolved

Ok I didnt post the WPfind because when i tried to restart into safe mode it just locked up for some reason. Also when i ran the gmer log nothing showed up. And im sorry that I did not post that back.

Ugg its doing that freeze unfreeze thing right now!

That is a link to the picture of GMER not showing any results if this picture does not show up.

Things like photoshop can take up a lot of system resources
Try going into safe mode one more time

Tap the F8 key just before windows loads and choose safe mode without Internet connection

Give this time to load, it's not instant

Once in safe mode run WPFind as I posted in your other thread

Reboot back to Normal mode and post the log from WPFind here, along with a fresh hijackthis log

What are your system specs....
Processor, RAM, etc...

Ill get it done when I have a chance.

It seems to be running better, after I did a disk clean up.
