Since just before Chrsitmas my PC has been crashing pretty much all the
time. I have posted here before and elswhere to ask for advice.
Symptoms - logged in, maybe on the web or not and the screen goes black
comes back and its frozen and I can't turn off, except by cutting the power.
I have tried the usual stuff - updated graphic driver (Gforce) run windows
updates and installed, unistalled software that I had loaded from just before
Christmas etc (apart from the s/w that came with the external hard drive I
purchased (segate) in March to back up all my stuff as I thought this may be
terminal.
I have run loads of scans Spybot, AVG, Ad aware etc. I have AVG installed
and windows defender - no problems with viruses etc.
The work around I now opearte after months of trying loads of different
stuff, is that I log on and get maybe 2 - 15 PC time before the sytem
crashes. In safe mode I do a sysyem restore to the last time I had a stable
system and the sytem then works fine - in fact I will leave the PC running
all day before switching off at night. As I know the system will fall over
again the next time I log on, I set a couple of restotre points each time I
am in stable session then when it falls over the next day I try one of the
previous sessions restore points and generally I'm OK!!
I'm, as you can imagine, a bit fed up with this - any other suggestions that
I might not have tried?
Thx in advance.
