yeah i actually checked that, the times when the pc freezes it tells me there was a critical error and under details it tells me windows has restarted without shutting down correctly, the cause could be that windows stopped answering, failed or that the problem could be caused by the power supply.

But yeah the list about critical errors, normal failures and warnings is long :/ :s ?

If it was the hard drive, the chkdsk /r should've found something.

The PSU is just a shot in the dark. Most normal causes have been suggested already. A flaky PSU can cause a lot of weird issues. It was also suggested as a cause in your error.

Yeah but I compared the critical errors with my friends pc. He got the same errors when he presses the reset button so it totally normal :/ the psu, yeah il get one in the next days and try change it 🙁

Yes, the 58xx and 57xx series cards have driver issues. The issue was fixed on the 58xx series. From what I read, it was more of a display problem, not a freezing problem.

yeah but in some cases black screenes and then they needed to restart, so i hope i works, and now i overclocked my gpu as suggestet and have been on for 3 hours now doing nothin than watching videos scanning virus surfing,, no crash, so looks good

But il keep you up to date!

 

[aford10]

Quick update

Now i dl'd and installed ati's newest driver 10.3.
Its all much better now, but still in rare occasions, it can freeze. But not nearly as bad as before, now i can finally use my pc normally again, i think il make a petition to ati and will let them tell me what problem could be at the moment

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Randomly Freezes
No BSOD just random freezes with screen on and no keys or cursor repsond, all I can do is use a hard reset to restart. Then I get the standard windows was not shut down properly messege at start-up. I have been having this issue/s and have tried all the same standard help people have had to offer, in all the dfferent post I've read online.
To actually fix this issue I ended up having to go to the device manager and check for driver updates on all my devices, one at a time. I think the ones that had updates that fixed this issue were the ACPIx64-based PC under the computer drop down and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers especially the ICH ATA and SATA AHCI ontrollers (I think these made the difference). I checked them all, but these were the only ones that had updates. Once those were updated and the computer was restarted, it has stayed on. It's been on for a day now and no problems so far.
