XP Home hangs

G

Geoff

I have a serious problem with hangs where the only
solution is to switch off and on again. I see no
particular pattern of usage or in the applications in
operation.It started after I installed a series of
critical Windows updates about six months ago. I tried
uninstalling them and tried rollback. Neither worked and
there appeared to be a problem with rollback too.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest graphics drivers from
Nvidiaand thought I had solved the problem(no hangs
forthe rest of the day. But today the hangs are back.
Here is my system info.

Hi Geoff

Do you get any blue screens with a Stop Code when the PC hangs? If so, could you please post the Stop Code here - with that your problem could be isolated.

No,the system literally freezes, I can't use CTRL-ALT-
DEL.I have DR Watson running but I think it is recording
data from a problem I have with Windows explorer. Here is
some of the error data:
4/15/2004 10:23 AM Application Error Fault
bucket 84225891.

4/15/2004 10:23 AM Application Error Faulting
application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting
module mshtml.dll, version 6.0.2800.1400, fault address
0x001eadea.

Thanks for your interest.
