my pc keeps crashing and i dont know whats causing it im not even running anything and it just crashes i need help
Any error messages and if so what are they?
nope no error messages
Describe the crash...just a lockup at the desktop or what exactly?
yup right at the desktop nothing running
ok, Has it been running awhile when this happens or is it at startup/shutdown? Is it when you're actively using the system or maybe when it has tried to go to a screensaver or standby? Has any hardware or software been added to it recently?
no hardware or software added and um it happens at startup
what is the model of your computer?
are you overclocking?
its not overclocked and i made the computer myself
Go to Start|Run and type MSCONFIG. If you have never used it this is the System Configuration Utility. Click on the Startup Tab...top of the window on the far right side. This shows all the items that start when the computer starts. At the bottom of that page choose "Disable all". This will require a restart but it will turn off any software that may be causing the lockup. If this fixes it, then you will need to restart only 1 item at a time until you find which one is the problem.
ok thanx rik
So did any of this help or did I miss the mark completely?
u helped alot my computer stopped crashing after i messed around with msconfig
