Question

Computer Lock Up

Asked by: perezm

About a week ago, my computer has started locking up.  It forces me to turn off my computer and start again from a cold boot.

However, there is no logic or consistency when this happens.  It happens when I am working with different software.  Sometimes it happens right after a cold boot.  Sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, or 20 minutes, or sometimes longer.  There is no telling when it going to freeze up;  or, on which software it is going to lock up.  But it is driving me crazy.

I have run defrag; scandisk; virus protection; on-line virus programs; adware programs, etc.  And, so far, I have found nothing.

I keep getting the following error on my system log.

2/12/2006      8:18:59 AM      Service Control Manager      Error      None      7000      N/A      MARCO      The MCSTRM service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

However, I have searched my computer and couldn’t find an MCSTRM file on my computer.

I also got the following error in the administration log.

2/12/2006      3:41:13 PM      Userenv      Warning      None      1517      NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM      MARCO      Windows saved user MARCO-GDTEHN42L\Marco Perez registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

Any workable solution would be appreciated.

Thanks.

mcstrm.sys is part of the RealNetworks Virtual Path Manager®. Maybe you should try to uninstall all Real Player components. But i guess the software is already uninstalled, because "The system cannot find the file specified."
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices -> Scroll Down to Non-PnP Drivers, there should be a driver called "MCSTRM". Right-click on the driver and delete it. If you don't find that entry:
Open the registry editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. Scroll and try to determine that driver. Report back.

 

by: perezmPosted on 2006-02-12 at 13:26:05ID: 15936776

Errors seem to be gone from system log and administration log.

However, when I run RealPlayer, I get an insufficient memory window.

When I try to run iTunes, machine locks up again.

Do I need to uninstall and install again?

 

by: AntunbPosted on 2006-02-12 at 14:29:01ID: 15937065

try to uninstall, reboot than install again, and see if it fixes it

 

by: perezmPosted on 2006-02-12 at 14:57:41ID: 15937200

When I tried to uninstall, the computer locked up.

Although errors gone, computer still locks up.

I wonder if I have a memory problem.  Is there a way to diagnose memory that is going bad; i.e., not bad yet, but is going to be a problem?

 

by: AntunbPosted on 2006-02-12 at 15:07:35ID: 15937243

try running a mem test

http://www.memtest.org/

 

by: nobusPosted on 2006-02-13 at 00:25:39ID: 15939431

you can have contact problems - in this case, i suggest opening the box, disconnecting , inpect, clean and reseating all cables and cards and devices.
Also check if all fans are running normally, and remove all dust.

 

by: AntunbPosted on 2006-02-13 at 00:37:11ID: 15939476

click start >> run >> type cleanmgr
run the wizard, and remove temp files


run defrag
start >> program files >> accessories >> system tools >> defrag

When you say your computer freezes does anything work at all, ie: is the mouse curser frozen also? Does the Num/Caps/Scroll lock ligts do anything when you press them.  If these thing dont happen I can almost guarantee you have a piece of hardware overheating.  Make sure all fans are working.  CPU, Power supply, motherboard chipset if it has a fan, video card.  Put a finger on the chipsets, hard disk and heat sinks inside your PC to see if they are very hot to touch.  The one that is too hot to keep your finger on is the culprit.

 

by: perezmPosted on 2006-02-13 at 08:50:44ID: 15942754

The mouse arrow and hour glass shows.  I can move it around, but I can't launch anything.

It freezes up when I boot the computer (cold boot).  And, about the 5th time I open a Window, everything freezes up, except the mouse, forcing me to turn everything off and re-booting.

 

by: jms99Posted on 2006-02-13 at 13:05:57ID: 15945106

Forget what I said then.  You should definitly follow antunbs suggestion to run a memtest and if that comes up clean maybe have to post a hijackthis log.  Have you tried running in safe mode as a test to see if it still locks up?

 

by: perezmPosted on 2006-02-13 at 17:38:14ID: 15947451

I have run the memory test 3 times without any problems.

I get a message that a program is trying to find the server.  Since this is a stand alone machine, do you know why it is looking for a server?

Would running the system restore be of any value?

Do you know what the following errors are trying to tell me?

What is the program that is trying to find a server?

Fogret the DCOM events..They just arent starting in safe mode.

Did your computer behave itself in safe mode?

the userenv warning suggests there is a 3rd party app or service running that is not releasing part of your profile when you are logging off.  I doubt this is related to your PC crashing.  If you want to get rid of this one you can just change the account that every service is running with to "local service"  
Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Services.  Look for whichever services have your account name as the logon and change the logon to local service.  Leave the ones using "network service" or "local system" alone.

Dont know if hijackthis logs are allowed here but it would definitly help...http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip...Copy and paste the output from this.

It looks nice and clean but you have two antivirus progs running at the same time by the look of it.  Having more than 1 resident AV software can really cause a lot of problems.  I would suggest you remove the yahoo AV software and run hijackthis again to make sure there is no Yahoo AV running.  If you remove it from add/remove progs and there is still remenants in hijackthis just delete them from there.

Good luck.

jms99,

You were right on the money.  When I got rid of the Yahoo AV and all its little thing in the various folders, everything straightened up fine (so far).

Thanks for all your help.
