      My computer is starting to give me very weird problems

      If i leave my computer on and idle for a while, it will not respond when i come back around 1/2 hr later

      The situation happened to be twice, once when i am uploading sth to youtube, and when my computer goes into the screen saver mode

      Just now in the morning i was surfing the forums, it gave me a BSOD, which i think was about my memory problem

      ANd for this few weeks my Harddisk activity light have been lit up even though i am not using my computer.

      HWZ say it might be a faulty processor
      As for the HDD i tested with hd tune, no problems found, so may it be virus?

      I am running windows vista home premium 32bit, the computer hanging problem was encounted after i updated vista yesterday.

      Any idea or ways for me to troubleshoot?icon_sad.gif

      updates, hmm.

      after configuration ?

      list the updates you installed.

       

      check it via: start> windows update> view update history.

       

      did you over clock too much ?

      Tried disabling update agent? Heard from my more comp-savy friend, that can cause quite a bit of trouble...

      Boot up to Safe Mode. Does it hang there? If you run into problems there, hardware or some basic drivers are at fault.

      BSOD message... see sticky.
