Hi

I'm getting Windows 8 freezes, usually while playing video where the video file crashes with the sound going into a loop. Sometimes CtrAltDelete brings up the options but the task manager does not appear. All apps become unresponsive but I can move the mouse.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks, I read through that thread. It's a relatively new system and since installing Win 8, I have had the DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION/BSOD but this was solved by getting rid of AVG. PC was running fine for about a month so all I can think is that it has to do with recent software installations.

This error does not end in a BSOD.

I also uninstalled some software and there was a new update released. After that I haven't experienced the crash again. I cannot comment on which one may have fixed it(if its fixed at all), but the problem seems to be gone.

And Zigzag I did make my own thread, I just posted since it was a similar issue.

I had a failing hard disk. Not my primary drive, just an old backup drive. Since disabling it, it hasn't happened again. It could also have something to do with NexusFont software I am running. Let's see what happens...

Still crashing in the same way from time to time.


- Before it crashes, icons in the Start Menu would go funny like in the attachment.

- After the latest reboot, the icons are now permanently in this weird state.

- Might have something to do with Suitcase or Font Nexus?

Please can't someone help?
