Hi all,
I'm having this issue with Windows where, after using for a few minutes, my computer hangs. It would sometimes show the error "Microsoft Windows. This application is not responding." and when I try to Ctrl+Alt+Del, it would show the error "Failure to display security and shutdown options"
Before the few minutes, all is well, the pc runs smoothly. The time factor also varies. The hanging usually happens when I would close a program like after a video or game, but it could also happen when just idle.
Here are the things I've tried and results:
1) System restore to a previous date
- Problem still exists
2) System restore further back
- Problem still exists
3) Run in SAFE mode
- Windows works normally (of course, you are limited when in SAFE mode so I don't consider this a solution)
4) Clean boot (Running with just Windows Services enabled)
- Problem still exists
5) Disk Defragment
- It would hang before it could finish
6) Microsoft fix-it
- It would hang before it could finish
7) Windows Update
- It would hang before it could finish
8) CMD in SAFE mode
a) CHKDSK c:
- Windows found problems with the file system, try /F
b) CHKDSK c: /F
- c: Drive is NTFS: locked
c) sfc / verify only
- Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations
d) netsh winsock reset
- Problem still exists
9) Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials
- Problem still exists
As you can see, I've been quite desperate about this one. As much as possible I don't want to resort to a method that would require a format/factory reset, since I still have important files in my pc. Also, I read somewhere in my search for a cure, that even a reformat of hard drive, doesn't remove the problem. I would greatly appreciate any help.
