It's frozen a couple of times since I did what you asked me to do. Im gonna reboot it now

[Bruce1270]

Hi BrianR1976

OK. We'll move on with a few other things to try. I would like you to work through each one at a time, after each one try web browsing to see if the issue persists. If it does move on to the next one. If it doesn't stop and let me know which one has resolved the issue.

Note: Please do a backup of your PC prior to trying these.

Step1 - reset all web browsers back to default settings

• Please see this guide on how to reset your web browsers.
• Please follow the instructions for Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer.
  
  
  Step2 - Update Graphics driver
  
  Update your driver version to a later one from here.
  scroll down to the Catalyst Software Suite revision number 15.7.1 and click the Download button.
  Download to your desktop. Right click and Run as Administrator and follow the on screen install instructions.
  
  
  step3 - FSC scan
  
  
  SFC Scan
  
  1.Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2.When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3.When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it and press enter.
  
  sfc /scannow
  
  Please note: there is one space between the c and the /
  
  4.Let the scan complete.
  
  If you get the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" this means all is OK. Carry on and do some browsing.
  
  If you get any other message then copy and paste the following command at the command prompt and press enter
  
  findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"
  
  5.This will create a file, sfcdetails.txt on your Desktop.
  6.Type exit to close the command prompt window.
  7.Open file sfcdetails.txt and copy/paste this in your next reply.
  8.If the file is too large you can zip the file and attach to your post.
  
  
  Step4 - CHKDSK
  
  
  1.Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2.When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3.When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each
  
  Chkdsk /r C:
  
  4.A prompt then asks whether you want to schedule the disk to be checked the next time you restart the system. Click Yes to schedule this check.
  5.Reboot your system to let CHKDSK run.
  
  Once CHKDSK completes you can post the log using the following tool.
  
  Scan with ListChkDskResult
  
  Please download ListChkDskResult by SleepyDude and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  • A message about checking Windows Event Log will pop-up. Click OK.
  • Wait patiently until a notepad window will open. This won't take long.
  • The displayed logfile will be also saved to your desktop as ListChkDskResult.txt.
  Please include the content of this file in your next reply.
  
  Give the web browsing a try after posting the log.
  
  Let me know how it goes.

[BrianR1976]

I am off work Friday and Saturday I will do these on Friday. I will let you know what happens then. I'm not going to lose my bookmarks by resetting my browsers am I?

 

Edit: I ended up resetting my Chrome settings and surfed for about an hour and had no issues.

Hi BrianR1976

No worries, take as long as you need and when you can fit in.
 

I'm not going to lose my bookmarks by resetting my browsers am I?

You can back these up by exporting them. For FF see this guide.

There is a separate link to how to do this for IE as well in the guide.

[BrianR1976]

So I have been using my reset Chrome browser (still haven't reset Firefox) for a couple hours now and no freezes.

[Bruce1270]

That's good news.

I would still try doing FF to see how that goes. Might be best to give a day or so to fully test the browsing to see if the lock ups have gone.

[BrianR1976]

Ok I have reset Firefox. It's the browser I use the most so I will spend the most time with it. I never use IE should I even bother with that?

[BrianR1976]

Some things to report. I have been using a refreshed Firefox for a bit and am still getting freezes. One website, my local grocery store completely locked up Firefox requiring my use of Task Manager to close it. And as I was typing this all of my extensions just turned back on. Which could be why the crashes were happening. Should I remove them by hand?

[Bruce1270]

Hi Brian1976

Yes give that a try, disable each on in turn and try browsing to see if you can identify which one is causing the issue.

I take it Chrome didn't cause any issues?

If you don't use IE then you can leave that one.

[BrianR1976]

Still no issues with Chrome. While I was using Firefox this evening I had a popup window appear saying to update Firefox and was redirected to something that was not Firefox. I closed the browser and then turned on the popup and ad blockers. In all the years of computer use I have never seen something like that before.

 

Edit: Chrome finally froze up on me tonight. As for the thing about the "update" after I reloaded Firefox it did in fact run an update so maybe it was legit. Whatever the case is I don't think the add-on's were the issue. Tomorrow I think I will move on to the next steps.

Edited by BrianR1976, 18 March 2017 - 12:50 AM.

[Bruce1270]

Ok. Thanks for the update.

See how the next steps go.

[BrianR1976]

I ran Check Disk and then went to download the last part of step 4 and I get a file not found.

[Bruce1270]

Hi BrianR1976

Sorry. That link appears to be broken now.

Try this..

Open a Powershell command prompt - Click on Start > In search box type Powershell. Double click on Powershell from the list of options it returns.

At the flashing prompt copy  and paste in the following command.

Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source wininit | Select-Object -Last 1 -ExpandProperty message | out-file Desktop\chkdskresults.txt

This should create a text file called chkdskresults on your desktop.

Open the file and copy/paste the content into your next reply.

Thanks

[BrianR1976]
