Hello, I have this problem with my laptop - sometimes I cannot login - after choosing the user the screen freezes or after logging in it works only for a few minutes in regular mode I can do things over those minutes like open firefox, but I cannot open folders, sometimes I can open the task manager or even some programs but then it freezes and I have to shutdown the computer manually by pushing the power button.

If the operatin system does not respond, press esc or restart the computer by using the power switch". I don't know if this helps, but I try to add as much as I can.

Sorry it it's not relevant - my knowledge about computers and IT is minimal. The computer runs fine in safe mode. So I tried system restore to a week before when the computer was still fine and it didn't work. So I reinstalled a graphics driver Intel HD Graphics Driver as I found on the internet that similar problems got fixed by reinstalled videocard drivers. And it worked, everything started to run smoothly again in the regular mode. As normally I allowed windows updates and after restarting my computer, the problems came back.

And it didn't help. I ran CWShredder didn't find anything , SpyBot found some cookies and a few registry keys , but that didn't help either. Do you have any suggestions what is causing this and what could I do about it? I would appreciate any help My computer is Dell vostro, Windows 7, 64bit.

But I am still unsure if I should do anything - I enabled only the MS services, it worked fine, then I enabled only first 15 of the non-MS services, it also worked fine.

When enabling the rest 19 of the non-MS services, the computer froze up. After turning it on again, the 19 services were gone from the list. Facebook Like. Twitter Tweet. Be a part of the DaniWeb community. Sign Up — It's Free!

I get some "pipe" error. I can't run anything as Administrator I can't run a restore, or add a new user, or run CCleaner or disk defrag, or any other "imporant" system tools.
