Ok there should be a minidump file in C:\windows\minidump

Could you zip at least 2 or 3 of them and attach to your next post

Hm, I don't see a minidump folder in there... I have a BIN file called min.bin in C:\Windows... Should I send it?

[Essexboy]

Hmm weird as it said it was creating a minidump

Download Who Crashed from here (the free version)
Install the programme and then run


Press the analyse button and copy the part that references a driver or file

[th1nker]

Copy that, will do right now. I can also send you screenshots of my C:\Windows folder if that will help

[Essexboy]

Nope if there are minidumps who crashed will find them

Crash Dump Analysis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

No valid crash dumps have been found on your computer

[Essexboy]

So it is locking before the crash dump is created

Lets have a look at a specific driver known to cause something similar

Open an elevated command prompt

Go Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right click command prompt and select Run as Administrator
Type or copy/paste the following command :

sc qc afs

Then copy the resultant data and post that here

In the same command prompt window type or copy/paste in the following :

sc config afs start= disabled

Then reboot and see if the problem is still apparent

[th1nker]

OK, I did what you said and am attaching a screenshot of the response data. This appeared when I pasted both commands. I just rebooted, will let you know if it freezes again...

Looking at that .. Methinks the problem lies elsewhere.. Back to the rummaging

[th1nker]

Oh Boy... Is there something I should now? Is it component problem?

[Essexboy]

I am now thinking it could well be hardware

Download Speedfan and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here the information it shows. The information I want you to post is the stuff that is circled in the example picture I have attached.
If you are running on a vista machine, please go to where you installed the program and run the program as administrator.


(this is a screenshot from a vista machine)

Here are the results

When you reinstalled windows how did you do it ? Was it a full reformat and install or a repair install ?
