I have a problem with my computer locking up after about 10 to 12 hours,and not running any programs,allthough running programs does speed up the process a bit. I ran it in safe mode and it still did it. I left the Windows Task Manager on the desktop and noticed that csrss.exe had spiked at 100% at the time of the locK. I checked for spyware, adaware and Viruses and nothing shows up. I've done every hardware test you can think of for the Hard drives, memory,cpu,video card, motherboard etc etc. This still happened after a reformat. Its not a video card problem because I've tried another. I'm usally pretty good at fixing stuff like this,but I can't figure this out for the life of me.

CPU Temp-40 deg C
WinXP
DirectX 9
QDI Mainboard
Pent 3 733
NVidia TNT Video Card also tried NVidia 3800
Creative Sound Blaster Card
512 mem ram
Maxtor 40 gig and a Seagate 80 gig
D-Link DFE-530TSX

Any help would be appreciated.

welcome to dal the online computer help forum

have you got kaazar installed by any chance if you have this might help

i think this might help
navigate to the following keys using regedit
hkey_local_machine>software>microsoft>windows>curr ent version>run
hkey_local_machine>software>microsoft>windows>curr ent version>run once
hkey_local_machine>software>microsoft>windows>curr ent version>run services
and delete any entries for kazaa

i would also do a full system scan also follow owens help on the link under my signature and then posta fresh hijack this log

hope this helps

Ok ran Process Explorer and found out that winsrv.dll is the culprit causing the 100% spike in Csrss.exe. What would cause this??

Thx Again-awaiting Response

winsrv - winsrv.dll - DLL Information

DLL File: winsrv or winsrv.dll
DLL Name: Windows Server DLL

Description:
File that contains the server side version of the 32-bit user and GDI routines (graphics engine).

Have you looked thru your Device Manager & or Event Viewer?

You should post your hijack this log into the spyware section. Is that the full log? It seems to be missing alot.

Thx For Responding

At the time of lock-up there is nothing showing in Device Manager & or Event Viewer.

And yes this is a full Highjack this. I don't keep alot of junk running in the background if I dont have to. Any other ideas??

Thx again-awaiting reply

Hi all and thankyou for trying to help me out with this very tough problem
Heres what I've done to try to correct this problem and other things I've learned

1. I had a fan blowing straight into the computer .
2. I installed SP1
3. I ran memtest and no problems with memory
4. I created a new account
5. Tried pci slotted video card

Results. Computer still freezes. NO Change.

Interesting Point: Memtest ran for 48 hours in dos and my computer never froze.

Thx again for trying to help.
Awaiting reply.

Ok heres what I've done now:

I just did a new install of WinXP on a Brand new Seagate Hard Drive without installing any other programs or software and the problem still persists.

I also ran Memtest for 48 hours and no errors

Also unplugged anything in USB ports


Now What

Thx again- awaiting reply
