Sounds like one of the memory sticks are overheating and causing an error. I had that happen. I just bought a new one and all was good. What is the error code that is appearing on the screen when it freezes up? We used to cause these problems in college, on purpose to troubleshoot.

install anything new recently? i'd suggest trying a format and reinstall to make sure it isn't software related and go from there.

Too many processes? Get CCleaner and cleazr out some of the crap and fix the registry. Even if it doesn't work, at least the pc will be faster.

Try it in safemode for a few hours to eliminate some chance of a software problem.

If nothing works, save the most important stuff to a usb stick or hdd and reinstall windows.

ok ill take a look at it but did u check out the dumpfiles?

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #9 on:** June 18, 2010, 06:42:17 AM »

Yeah but theres a lot of problems and its hard to tell which one is the source. Next time you get a bluescreen, can you write down the error codee e.g. 0x000000000 (0x000000000 0x000000000 0x000000000 0x000000000) and post it here? thanks.

This might help. if u wanna see more download the dumpfiles and check it using bluscreenview

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:29:59 AM »

I've read that already but there is a massive amount of different errors. I'll certainly have another look, and try to figure the source.

Try re-installing windows it looks like some files are corrupted. It's mainly coming from drivers + kernel so memory could be an issue. If you cant re-install; Try running memtest non stop for 48hrs and check your temps using HW monitor.

Why? It does when its on battery ?

lewson · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2010, 05:42:19 AM »

Sounds like overheating, Laptops use less power when on battery thus creating less heat; That might explain how it blue screens less on battery. Try applying new thermal paste under the heat sink / removing the dust.

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2010, 09:07:36 AM »

So let's be clear. The laptop is on a CLEAN install, right?

mp5cartman · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2010, 06:11:46 PM »

Yes... I think im going to open up the laptop clean it up with compressed air and apply new thermal paste and lets see what happens. but the thing is the laptop is not even hot i checked temps everytime but its normal cpu is 45c gpu is around 50c.. but im still gonna clean it up

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2010, 11:10:20 PM »

Yeah, give it a good clean, check the battery contacts, the RAM, make sure nothing has melted, etcetc.
