I'm about ready to kill myself. Not really, but itys getting close.
I have a P4-3.2g running WinXP-SP2.
The machine runs GREAT all day, fast, I play Battlefield 2 all night, all's well. HOWEVER,
When I boot in the morning, all's well for about 2-3 hours, then BANG! The PC Freezes.
I can't reboot, it freezes when the little bars are going by on the Xp screen.
I can boot into safe mode fine. The I simply restart out of safe mode to normal boot & all's well again for the rest of the day.
Occasionally, I have to restore the registry from the previous day & it runs great until the next day. Even if I reboot the pc during the day (after playing BF2) it still runs great the rest of the day.
It's ONLY after the PC sits OFF for 4-5 hours then is rebooted that the problem occurs. Then it's fine for 2-3 hours after booting then BANG! Freeze. On two occasions, the PC has auto booted itself for no reason while it was just sitting there, but that hasent happened for a couple weeks.
I have run NAV 2005, Online NAV, TrendMicro Online virus scan, Spybot, Spywareblaster, Adaware & MS antispyware. EVERYTHING is clean...
In my Event System Viewer I have a couple errors but I don't know if it causes the freeze or is a result of the freeze. The errors are:
============================================
SFSYNC02 error EventID: 12
(The description for Event ID ( 12 ) in Source ( sfsync02 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. )
I think these are because I booted into safe mode with no networking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remote Access Error EventID: 20106
(Unable to add the interface {5EF1A45C-480F-4C62-9F00-B584C5C4C722} with the Router Manager for the IP protocol. The following error occurred: Cannot complete this function.)
DHCP error EventID: 1002
(The IP address lease 192.168.1.130 for the Network Card with network address 00508DE1F520 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.1)
This has been going on for a month & I've tried everything including restoring to a point months ago when things ran fine, ran system file checker, etc.
I WOULD GREATLY appreciate any assistance or ideas. Thanks people, if there a solution, I know I can find it here.
