Hang while idling
-
My computer is starting to give me very weird problems
If i leave my computer on and idle for a while, it will not respond when i come back around 1/2 hr later
The situation happened to be twice, once when i am uploading sth to youtube, and when my computer goes into the screen saver mode
Just now in the morning i was surfing the forums, it gave me a BSOD, which i think was about my memory problem
ANd for this few weeks my Harddisk activity light have been lit up even though i am not using my computer.
HWZ say it might be a faulty processor
As for the HDD i tested with hd tune, no problems found, so may it be virus?I am running windows vista home premium 32bit, the computer hanging problem was encounted after i updated vista yesterday.
Any idea or ways for me to troubleshoot?

Boot up to Safe Mode. Does it hang there? If you run into problems there, hardware or some basic drivers are at fault.
BSOD message... see sticky.
