Mistake Computer is freezing

Hi I need help with my computer because it keeps freezing and stops responding but when it stops responding it looks like the operating system has stopped responding because the task bar at the bottom disappears and the applications on my desktop disappear as well I really need help because it does this every 10 minutes I have done a virus and spyware test and I have healed everything I don't know what else to do.

pc specs

foxconn motherboard
80GIG samsung hard drive.
Intel celeron D
512 MB Ram

Re: Computer is freezing

Hi musicistabest -

How old is that memory dump - from this recent freezing?

You said that you performed viurus scans and found.... exactly what? How do you know that all viruses are now gone... did you perform scans with multiple ant-virus products as well as malware scans?

When you say that things are disappearing... do you mean while the system is idle, or when using for intense activity - pushing it to its limits?

Post the memory dump - attach it to post- DO NO PASTE it in a post (no good for analysis). You will have to copy it to your desktop and rename it to change the file extension so that it ends in "txt".

Also, download the attached zip file and run it, then ATTACH the text file to your next post.

Regards. . .

jcgriff2

.
@Mike - good job on your part thus far... my prayers go out to your mom.

Please provide more detail... I do not understand anything beyond the minidump portion of the answer.
