Hi,
when I "work too fast" under heavy system load, i.e. I switch between
task windows, open and close browser tabs and move the mouse cursor
rapidly across the screen I experience random system lockups (system
hangs or system freezes). I can only press the power switch and
restart the system.
It happens about once in 48 hours but it happens out of a sudden, I've
never found an error message close to the crash time in the logfiles.
I am running XP-pro SP2 on a Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ Fujitsu
Amilo K 7600 Laptop PC with 1GB of RAM
Video: KN266 integrated S3 Prosavage 32 Mbyte shared memory, true
color
Audio: 18-bit stereo audio (AC97)
Pointing device: Synaptics Touchpad, SynTPLpr.exe running but not
SynTPEnh
a D-Link Airplus DWL-G650+ wireles adapter sits in the Cardbus slot
(PC-Card, PCMCIA)
Hardware Manager shows a clean tree without warnings.
My web browser is Firefox 2.0.0.6. I always have at least 2 dozen
browser tabs open so Firefox consumes up to 350-400 MB of my 1000 MB
RAM.
I tried to run msinfo but I get the Windows Help window.
I have changed Windows' performance options to give background
services more CPU time and to give programs more memory. I feel that
helped a little. But Firefox appears a bit lame now and the freezes
still occur.
What else should I try?
Best regards,
Dieter
