Good Afternoon,

Recently upgraded my computer, and I am running Win7 64bit.

However I recently have been having a few issues with WINDOWS 7 - after weeks running flawlessly!

It initially happened when i was playing a some music through iTunes, and my system stalled... although the music continued to play. I let the song finish (what a tune it was!) and the forced my computer to reset (ctrl-alt-del wasnt working either!)

After the reboot, windows would load, and then just hang...
same would HAPPEN on safe mode, the system would load up... and hang.

However I discovered if I leave it long enough it will let me run again, although only for a short period of time.

I searched online for a solution - (although with various interuptions when windows decided it needed a NAP) - but failed to find anything that solved this problem... i fear that as I'm typing this its no longer stalled, and it may have fixed itself? ha...

anyway was wondering if you guys had any ideas to what could be the problem,

Id like to point out that my cpu is running at 27oC and have did the usual disk/memory checks, all not showing any problems... i truelly am lost for ideas...

Comp Spec:

Windows 7 (64bit)
Core i7 2.8GHz -
Ram 8gb 1600Mhz DDR3
Velociraptor WD 300GB HD
Cant remember the graphics card, but i doubt its the problem

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

DavidMy 1st suspect would be iTunes itself...
You certainly have the horsepower for Win7...

Any other issues at all leading up to this ? ?Yea, I thought it might have been iTunes as well... although when the system was hanging on safe mode, i ruled out iTunes as the problem.

To be honest I think it has solved the problem itself... I haven't crashed yet....
Although on further inspection, I think the problem may lie with Steam (game/online thing) Since IVE STOPPED this running on start-up it seems to be running smoother... but this may be a coincidence... fingers crossed!

CheersSteam is carp...and has caused many issues...however tons of people run it and have zero issues...go figure.I agree with your evaluation of steam... however it lets me play football manager 2010 without a disk... and really can a boy say no to that? haha There are other methods you know...
