Win7 32 & 64 “Not Responding” errors

by soccoach . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

I have been having many issues with Windows 7 Premium Home 64 bit. I continually get ?Not Responding? errors which completely locks up my computer.
I have run all the Malware programs, Anti-virus, C-Cleaner, and many more to try to resolve this thinking I may have been hijacked. Nothing found.
I changed from McAfee to Norton, no change.
I uploaded and installed the most recent drivers, no change.
I have tested my memory, hard drives, and components, they all pass.
I have disabled non-essential services, no help.
When this happens I have to force the computer to shut down by pushing the power button. Then I push F8 and select ?Last Known Good Configuration? and it will work better, for a while. Then it starts again.
It doesn?t follow a logical order. Sometimes Microsoft products, sometimes Messenger, sometimes on startup. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
I have gone to the web and searched the blogs and I have found that I am definitely not alone. This is a pervasive problem, and what makes it worse, it is not acknowledged by Microsoft as a problem. It appears to be across all versions of Windows 7.
I have worked on computers most of my adult life and have seen this before in other versions. There is a conflict of some kind that I am unable to detect.
I am hoping that Microsoft can resolve this latest problem soon!
