Windows XP Perform Maintain >> computer freeze-mostly while on internet (cable modem) I am having problems with computer lock ups. Cannot
control+alt+delete to shut down any programs. Computer
will not shut down in the normal way. The only choice I
have is to turn the computer off, which can't be good
either.
The lock-ups occur mostly when on the internet, but some
recent ones have occured when in other programs (random).
I have ran diagnostics on the hard drive, processor,
memory and other system hardware. All pass.
I have done a restore to bring the computer back to its
original facory condition, I have upgraded to windowsxp.
If anyone can help, please do.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> computer freeze-mostly while on internet (cable modem) Sorry, Bryan, this is not a solution to the problem but a
request for the same information.
I have the same problems either on or offline. Sometimes
my Laptop freezes up 5 times a day. I've tried varying
the settings but to no avail.
If anyone can help It would be apprecaited.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> computer freeze-mostly while on internet (cable modem) Hi,

I am also experiencing a problem as are others (Courtney,
Dick Shrewsbury, Marie, Allen, ogi, Pat Nolan, Bill W,
Dan, Keith, Mario, Asvin)

Dick, Allen, Mario, and I all get temporarily cured by a
restart of the computer. Do you? This seems to be a
common condition. Dick gets anywhere from a minute to an
hour of computer use before its unusably slow. I've had
2 incidents: Nov 18 and Nov 21 with maybe 8 usable hours.

We also have the CPU in the 90% range when it is slow and
nothing is open/running.

Look for posts with subjects of
Slow computer
High CPU usage

I feel like its a new, undocumented virus thingy :(

Do you have what we have?
