XP Pro Freezes constantly No Safe Mode

Help Needed Badly,
My computer freezes constantly. I cannot get into Safe Mode using F8 on restart. I've had the computer in for service four times and it still freezes when returned. When it's in the shop, it supposedly runs fine w/out freezing for almost two days under similar operating conditions. It especially freezes when running SuperAntiSpyware or when online. I've disabled all external hard drives and other devices, all running on USB, but it still freezes. I have an ASUS A8V-VM SE MB w/2Gig DDR 400 SDRAM, Seagate 2T 5900rpm Hard Drive, Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS video card, Ralink RT73 WiFi, Logitech K350 USB Keyboard and Kensington USB Expert Mouse Pro and Behringer UCA 202 USB Sound adapter. I also have 2 Seagate FreeAgent USB Hard Drives but both are disabled. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what is causing this computer to freeze constantly, Every 5-10 minutes usually. At this point this problem is driving me nuts. Please Help.

Hello and welcome to Bleeping Computer

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

Please take note:

• If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know.
• If you are unable to create a log because your computer cannot start up successfully please provide detailed information about your installed Windows Operating System including the Version, Edition and if it is a 32bit or a 64bit system.
  
  • If you are unsure about any of these characteristics just post what you can and we will guide you.
• Please tell us if you have your original Windows CD/DVD available.
• If you are unable to perform the steps we have recommended please try one more time and if unsuccessful alert us of such and we will design an alternate means of obtaining the necessary information.
• If you have not done so, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.
• Upon completing the steps below another staff member will review your topic an do their best to resolve your issues.
• If you have already posted a DDS log, please do so again, as your situation may have changed.
• Use the 'Add Reply' and add the new log to this thread.

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan again:

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links if you no longer have it available. Save it to your desktop.
  • DDS.scr
  • DDS.pif
• Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
• A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool. No input is needed, the scan is running.
• Notepad will open with the results.
• Follow the instructions that pop up for posting the results.
• Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

Information on A/V control HERE


We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit Scanner.

Please note that if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows you will not be able to run GMER and you may skip this step.

Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:

Why we request you disable CD Emulation when receiving Malware Removal Advice

Then create another GMER log and post it as an attachment to the reply where you post your new DDS log. Instructions on how to properly create a GMER log can be found here:

How to create a GMER log

Thanks and again sorry for the delay.

Do you still need help?

People,
Thank you for your great assistance. The problem has been resolved. I really appreciate all the replies from people who wanted to help. As it turns out, the person who I bought the computer from and who initially set it up, put two 'My Documents' on the 'C' drive main trunk. One was concealed and the other in the normal position. I was unaware of this and thought his installation was acceptable. Obviously it caused the computer to freeze on a regular basis. As a result, I had to completely wiped the 'C' drive and properly reinstalled Windows XP Pro. Sadly, I lost quite a bit of data but the most important files and folders were backed up on an external hard drive. It's been running beautifully ever since. Again, thanks to all the replies. Without them I probably never would have discovered the problem.
Sincerely Yours,
TQUAD
