To do a System Restore follow these steps:

 Click Start and then to All Programs
 Scroll to Accessories and then System Tools
 Click on System Restore
 A Welcome screen will come up and you need to click on Restore My Computer To A Earlier Date
 Then click on Next
 Now you will see in the window Select A Restore Point. From here select a date a couple of days before the problem started.
 Then click Next
 On the Confirm Restore Point Selection window verify the Restore Point you chose is correct.
 Close all open programs and click Next
 The computer will now automatically shut down and reboot. When it restarts you will see ”Restoration Complete” page and then click OK
 Once you have made sure that everything is now running correctly then please reply back with the results.
If this does not work then follow the next steps to do a Repair Installation

LoL, unfortunately the farthest to date restore is the 16th, witch is 2 dayago when the problem was already there.... I have to say that sinceyesterday the computer hasnt froze or done the system consistency check, I guess the problem is almost fixed, except if I remember right I had some problem with registry ?!?

Lets see if it stays working for at least one more day. If so then we will look at the other problem.

[Gandalf81]

ok

[Gandalf81]

Hey it hasnt froze or done the checing disk for consistency since I last told you about it

[rshaffer61]

That is great to hear.
Now please remind me the issue with the registry as I just woke up and haven't had coffee yet.

Ok I dont really remember what excactly was the other prob. I know when I did the defrag at the end it still had fragmented files so maybe that was one (page 3) thing and the other might be the result of the who crashed on page 1. Just to let you know today its working well and it hasent had a problem in 2-3 days I'm going to hit the sheets i'm tired, I'll get back at you tomorrow. Thanks again

You will never get all files defragged because some of them are in use so they cannot be defragged.

Ok, then I guess the problem is resolved. THANKS A LOT, with out u my computer would have probably died soon, either from crashing or from me tossing it out the window

Hi ,


I have exactly the same problem (Windows 7) which appeared out of a blue after laptop was switched off for 2 weeks (holiday).

I lost track of the Q&A above... is it possible please to summarize what finally fixed the problem??

thank you so much!! anna

[elsavako]

JUST to add to the above..

the computer continues to freeze randomly (every 15 - 30 minutes) however didn't run consistency checks at the last three hard reboots.

installed a new web browser, deleted files and programs but nothing seems to help.

any suggestions please? thanks!!!

attached the result of autoruns.

perhaps worth mentioning that my laptop comes with vaio care which regularly runs registry defrags.  AutoRuns.txt   113.63KB   153 downloads
