Strange XP freezing problem after idling system

[Mike431635]

I have an issue on my hands which is.. interested, to say the least. My self-built system has been stable and running almost constantly since last October/November. No issues whatsoever. Last Wednesday, before going to bed as usual, I started up BitTorrent so it could run my downloads during the night, turned off AVG Firewall and turned on Windows Firewall (since my BT client didn't like AVG at all). When I woke up in the morning, I moved my mouse to check the download, and the screen was frozen up, just the start menu bar was showing, then the mouse cursor froze up too and the computer made a beep. I restarted it, logged it in, left for school, and when I came back it did it again.

I disabled all screensavers, hard-disk turn-off, monitor turn-off, etc. It should remain on constantly and never turn off a monitor, hard-disk, turn on a screensaver, or go into suspended mode. Left it sitting, and like 20 minutes later I came back it did its freezing thing again. I've tried doing a repair install of windows, the problem kept coming back. Then I backed up my important docs and music to another HDD, formatted my drive, and did a clean install. It ran great for a while, got all my drivers and programs back on the computer, and the next morning it was frozen up again.

I've tried system restore, fixed the master boot record with the recovery console, fixed the boot sector, nothing fixes it. I can boot it into safe mode and it WONT do this freezing thing. But as soon as I'm in regular mode it does. I've got Norton on it now, so I know its not an AVG issue. Opened nTune and manually turned up the graphics card fan to 100%, ran CoreTemp to check CPU temps, and those are around 35-45 C depending on load.

And the weirdest thing about it.. if I stay on the computer, it will stay alright for as long as I want it to. If I go away for 20 minutes or so and come back, it's frozen.

Anyhow I found this userenv file in the /WINDOWS/Debug folder, I don't know what any of it means but I thought it might be helpful. If anyone can help me out, point me in the right direction, please do!! I am willing to try ANYTHING.

Sorry it was kinda long, wanted to make sure to include it all

I believe that you have progressed to step 2 in the topic here appearing in 'guides & solved issues'.

You have a clean load with up-to-date drivers. That does not completely rule out any recent driver updates or new software as a cause. Events viewer and the device manager should be reviewed for any useful information.

I usually place RAM and PSU high on my suspect list.

 

[Bobbye]

You're going to see this in the Event Log:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1517
Date: 4/11/2008
Time: 8:42:36 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: xxxx
Description:
Windows saved user LAPTOP2\Bobbye 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.

This is a lot of useless words in a Warning that happen every time the system is put into Standby without logging off first!

I have numerous events like this! It is not a cause of a problem. Bit Torrent is!
"I started up BitTorrent so it could run my downloads during the night, turned off AVG Firewall and turned on Windows Firewall (since my BT client didn't like AVG at all). "

You disabled your security and gave over the system to a night of file sharing, that kept starting up and going into Standby! I strongly advise you to discontinue this type of activity.

As for the Userenv Warnings, when you stop giving control of your system to file sharing, these warnings will lessen.

 

[Mike431635]

Ok I'm still battling this problem. I ran memtest86 on the RAM first thing, and it came up completely clean, but after the problem persisted and I tried everything else, I re-ran memtest86 on 1 stick at a time, and both DIMMs failed miserably. I'm not sure what caused them to fail, since it was Corsair XMS2 and is supposedly very good memory. I replaced them with 2GB of Corsair Valueselect PC2-5300, and everything worked fine.

After 2-3 days of letting it sit idle and having no problems at all (clean install of Windows, all the latest drivers, all my programs installed, etc), the computer has started freezing again.. this time I have more info on it. It's a very odd problem, but maybe it will give you guys more insight into this. If I run Prime95 stress test, which fully loads the CPU, I can let the system idle for AS LONG as I want to.. and it doesn't freeze. I can let Prime95 run for 10 hours, come back, turn it off, and keep doing whatever without any issues. When fully loaded, CPU temps never exceed 42 degrees C, and motherboard temps hover right around the same (according to ASUS PC Probe). Here are my normal operating temps and voltages:

Vcore: 1.38V
+3.3V: 3.25V
+5.0V: 4.86V
+12.0V: 12.22V
CPU: 30 degrees C
Motherboard: 38 degrees C (odd that its so high)
CPU fan: 2934rpm
Chassis 120mm intake/exhaust fans: 1600rpm

I also found out that if I keep the cover on the side of my computer, the cooling must be horrendous because my CPU idles at 38 degrees C and the Mobo temp is at 48-50 degrees C!!

Here's something else that's weird.. I can play WoW without a problem at all, all the graphics turned all the way up, and nail a constant 75.0fps, so I know I don't have a graphics card problem. According to GPU-Z my graphics card idles at 38 degrees C (100% fan speed via RivaTuner), and under heavy load it hits 50 degrees C. If I open up Call of Duty 4, sometimes the machine will lock up when I'm searching for servers. Often its fine and I can play with no problems. But if I open up Steam to play Counterstrike:Source, I can get the program to load up but as soon as I try to launch CS:S or join a server from the "Servers" tab, the system locks up and I have to do a hard reset.

As for the event viewer, I have these messages that I'm concerned about. They happen when I try to play CS:S as mentioned above, and I see them after I reset the PC:

DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service winmgmt with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}

DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service netman with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{BA126AE5-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}

I also have a warning, which I don't understand at all. I noticed this after I deleted a couple printers from the system, but I'm not sure if it is related to that or not:

A provider, OffProv11, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\MSAPPS11, to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

Minidumps are on, and the system is set to show blue screens, but I have yet to get one since I changed my memory and formatted/reinstalled XP. All the latest Windows Updates are installed, I'm running the newest version of the nvidia software (Forceware 169.21), I'm running the latest chipset drivers and the BIOS is the latest revision. If I try to do a system restore to a time where I know the system was working and not freezing, it reboots and says it failed because "There have been no changes made to your system" since the checkpoint I'm trying to restore to.

And to top it all off, here are my system specs:
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6420, 2.13GHz (no overclock)
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i chipset)
Ram Speed, size and #sticks: Corsair DDR2 667MHz, 2x 1GB DIMMs
GPU: nVidia 8800GTS 320mb
PSU (do not leave this out): Antec Smartpower 500W; 36A between 2 +12V rails
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 (fully updated)

 

[Mike431635]

And Bobbye, I was pretty sure that was the problem too.. but I haven't even so much as typed the word "Bittorrent" into my browser since I got it stable again, and I'm still having the same issues. And when I did run it all night, I would just switch from the firewall I was using to the Windows firewall, simply because there was a known conflict between AVG and BT that kept BT from running at normal speeds. Nothing to risky there imo..

 

[Bobbye]

Sometimes lessons learned the hard way are the best! This doesn't mean that BitTorrent wasn't part of the problem,.

Both the DCOM and OffProv11 Events are Warnings, not Errors. It's my experience that IF a Warning doesn't resolve, it will be followed by an Error.

Mike, have you run your system through the malware cleaning since these problems began? You mention switching between some firewall and the Windows Firewall, then you refer to AVG, which is either the antivirus, anti-spyware or AVG security which includes it all.

Clarify please, the AVG issue and what you status is for doing security scans.

Volts, amps degrees and the like are not an area I am experienced in. But if there are Errors in the Event Viewer, you can copy them for me.

 

[Mike431635]

The two DCOM ones above were errors in the event viewer (under the "System" category), the other was just a warning. I'm not sure what any of them mean, and clicking the link wasn't particularly helpful. So I'm stumped on those, although they both happen when I try to start CS:S, so I'm sure they are related somehow.

I apologize for the ambiguity. I was running the whole AVG suite, including virus scan and firewall. BT had issues with AVG's firewall, and there is no workaround available for it, so I would always just turn on Windows Firewall and turn off AVG Firewall but leave the rest of the suite running. Since I did a format of the hard disk and clean install of Windows, I've been running Norton Internet Security 2008. I also have the latest, updated versions of Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Hijackthis. I've run HJT but wasn't sure about a lot of the info in it so I didn't touch it. All my other scans have come up clean. The one thing they do find is that I don't have automatic updates enabled, and I never "fix" that since I prefer to handle what goes onto my computer manually.

If there is any other source I can pull info from for you, I'll be more than happy to do it, or run any recommended scan or logging tool. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. I mean, I DID find a temporary fix for the freezing when idle.. just run Prime95. However, I don't think it's a good idea to be running my CPU at 100% capacity for 10+ hours a day. More wear than is necessary.

I've hypothesized that there may be a problem with the CPU itself.. I'm no expert on processor architecture, but perhaps there is some circuit that is used, or bypassed, when the system goes idle, and it's damaged or something. I'd like to hope thats not the case, but it would give me a reason to upgrade to a Q6600 quad-core. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.. I do think this is a software problem.

Related to viewpoint which is usually considered foistware, usually installed with AOL
Mike, I would suggest you uninstall this program. (Viewpoint)

For the DCOM Events:
Error: "The service database is locked". This error can happen if an attempt is made to stop/start or otherwise perform some service-related tasks when a server has just started and the systems still performs some of the startup functions in the background thus keeping the services database locked. In this case just wait a couple of minutes for the system to finish its tasks. It could also be that a faulty service installation procedure "locked" the database and in this case a reboot may help. Source EventID.net

If this problem continues, see:
How to disable DCOM support in Windows:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825750

 

[Mike431635]

Alright, I went into add/remove programs, uninstalled Viewpoint, then scanned with HJT to confirm it was gone and it is. I then disabled DCOM using the registry method.

Last night, I decided to go over all my settings again, at the direction of someone on a different forum. All that I had enabled was "Turn off monitor: 20 minutes" so I turned that off, double checked and made sure hibernation/suspend are off, disabled screen savers, went into the device manager and turned off all the "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" check boxes in the device properties boxes. This included the network adapter and USB hubs.

Then I went into the BIOS, and examined all the settings. I set the memory manually to 5-5-5-12, 2T (recommended timings at the FSB I'm running), and set the following:

Execute Disable Bit: OFF
Virtualization Technology: ON
SLI Broadcast Aperture: Auto (recommended)
LDT Frequency: 5x (default)-- made for AMD boards but somehow it's on this Intel board.. they recommend to just leave it at default
ACPI Suspend Type: S1 (changed from S1&S3.. you can choose S1, S3, or both, no OFF)
HPET Support: OFF (only used in Vista, which I don't run)
Enhanced C1E: OFF
Speedstep Technology: OFF

So I think I caught all the power saving settings and switched them off.

I logged the system back in, played around for a bit, and left it sitting for the night. When I woke up this morning, it was frozen again

I've done some research and found that the Northbridge is not adequately cooled on this board, and the Southbridge is not cooled at all, not even a heatsink. So I'm going to change coolers on the NB and put a small HS on the SB, but from what I'm told these components should not show any adverse effects until high up into the 60 C range.

I've been thinking about things I could have changed to make this happen. I did install updates, as I do Windows Updates manually on at least a weekly basis. I've looked and can't find a list of updates by release date, but if a Windows update caused this, it must have been released on or around 4/9 of this year.. and I'd suspect a lot more people would be experiencing this.

We'll see if my problems stop after uninstalling Viewpoint and disabling DCOM.

 

[Bobbye]

Mike, if you go to the Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> check 'show updates'>> you should see the listing from oldest to newest by date.

 

[Mike431635]

Yeah I tried that. Unfortunately since I had to reinstall, all the updates were done on the same date and are in alphabetical order

 

[Bobbye]

Mike, come to think of that, I think you mentioned this before. sorry. Mind is too cluttered!

See how you run without Viewpoint and DCOM.

 

[kritius]

You say that you run AVG, yet,

I DID run AVG, before I completely wiped my hard drive in frustration, reinstalled XP, and started using Norton.

Right now I'm looking at Plan Z, since I've exhausted just about everything else out there.. Plan Z being, rip all this **** out of my tower, take it out back and use it all for target practice with a .44 magnum, and rebuild using completely different parts.
