In late November 2006, I purchased a P4 (3.2 Gig. Hertz, HTT type) and after installing it, I decided to check my programs to make sure that they would continue working with the new processor.
Several programs hung up the PC. Hung up in this case means that I had to unplug the PC and re-plug it in to get it to run again.
I have now returned to using my previously running Celeron (2.4 Gig. Hertz - No HTT), however the programs still Hang the PC.
I'm running Win2000 SP 4 on a clone PC with an Intel D865GLC motherboard Bios. 08/04/05 v 8.00.10 (their latest).
The programs which hang are:
Ad-Aware SE Personal (v 1.06r1)
SpybotSD (both v 1.3 and 1.4)
Xoftsoft (v 4.22)
AVG Free (v7.5.432)
SFC (v 5.000) Protected File Scanner [comes with windows]
Prime95 (v24.14) Stress tester
There are programs I haven't tried that probably will hang the PC as well.
Just before upgrading my CPU, I added one program and updated another.
The one I added was Stock Signal Pro (v 2.4 rev. 10-31). I upgraded AmiBroker (v4.7 to 4.8).
I checked with Stock Signal Pro and they claimed that they updated 2 system .dll's, but when I compared them (using a CHECKSUM generator) with the same files on another PC, they compared(i.e. no change)!
AmiBroker told me they don't change any system files. All they need is in their subdirectory. This directory is NOT in the execution path.
I've talked with Spybot's e-mail support and we tried changing several of the settings in Advanced Mode, but to no avail.
I was referred to this web site: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=110 where I learned to run imageCFG and set the affinity to 0.
PC still hung while running SpybotSD.
In preparation to writing this post, I read the Before you Post post and found Trend Micro Online Scan and ran it.
It hung the PC up.
So I need someone's assistance to help me find out what's wrong with my PC and correct it.
