    This shit just randomly decided to start happening one day. (Windows 7)

    Every time I do anything on any program I always encounter a "Windows is not responding" It's going to respond when I fucking smash it in the ground with a fucking lightning bolt from Zeus, SRSLY.

    I should just google this but it seems those retards can't speak english half the time...

    It works fine half the time.. It doesn't matter what I am doing, like today I was in paint, drew a line and windows won't respond............... Go to hit start menu........ Windows won't respond. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I can't even use my search function on the start menu!!!! Sigh

    First I'd check the memory with MemTest
    If that doesn't find anything, I'd redo the OS
    After that I'd suspect the hard drive

    Usually this kind of thing happens when someone spends too much time on inappropriate websites. ;)

    I forgot about this thread.. I'll have to check memtest.. Doubt it will find anything.

    Buy a mac so I can't play any Pc games, sure :cool:

    :rolleyes:

    Yeah the comp has been rebooted many times, scan viruses every day and always clean disk/defrag every week.

    This comp doesn't see those sites. This is my gaming computer. I am guessing W7 is fucked. Stupid fucking windows :rolleyes:

    This kind of thing can be caused by a piece of hardware acting up..perhaps due to a recent driver update. (Such as a network controller, or video card). Try rolling back if you've changed one recently.
    I'd bet it's a piece of hardware causing it (even though it may be brought on by software drivers). Something on the SATA bus can cause it too if it's got a bad connection or a drive is faulty.
    That should give you some places to start troubleshooting and narrowing it down.

    Everything that was suggested I tried. My only solution was reinstalling windows.

    There must of been other shit that was corrupt on this comp as well. Everything is so crisp and clear now. So smooth, so fast once again. And finally windows programs work like top.

    :cool:
