I was wondering if anybody else might have run into this problem and
know what I might try in order to fix this. This has happened to me
repeatedly about once a week for 2-3 months. I keep expecting Microsoft
to come out with a patch but I haven't seen anything in there knowledge
base articles as of yet.
Windows xp (32-bit)
3.2 Ghz Xeon (32-bit) with 64-bit extensions availiable for the other
boot record on the disk.
2 Gb ram
2 Sata drives
The Problem happens when starting an Internet Explorer browser it
manages to hang the entire system. After clicking Ctrl+Alt+Del and
opening the task manager the processor is pegged at 100% and the
processor threading is starved as certain windows on the desktop fail
to refresh. Their appears to be no way to shut down the application. If
you hit end process the window manages to disappear while iexplore.exe
is still present and running in the processes tab. Usage in the process
tab is around 99% with Mem Usage around 20,000k+. Highlighting the
iexplore.exe and trying to kill it does not seem to work either.
Neither does End Process Tree. I set the Priority level down to low and
for an instant the process jumps down to 84% relenquishing the PC for
an instance than jumps right back up to 99%. It will ultimately hang
the computer for hours. The only way to get the computer back is to
perform a hard reboot holding down the power button for 5 seconds or
more.
If anybody knows of a solution please email me
