    Problems with PC Freezing


    I have a recurring problem that is now happening daily. My pc will sometimes freeze when left on slide show or when moving the mouse quickly over the screen. I have to manual switched off, I have tried different mice but this makes no difference. I have scanned for spyware etc and tried different mice. Can anyone shed any light on this?
    Many thanks

    The mouse is closely related to your video. Try updating or reinstalling your
    video driver. You should also recheck the Mouse settings in Control Panel.

    Sure. All you need is a wrench and... Just kidding :-)

    This one should be in the event logs. Look in the "system" and
    "application" error logs and see if there is a message with a red X next to it.

    The service belongs to your HP printer. You might try
    uninstalling/reinstalling the printer, getting the latest drivers from HP's
    website. If that doesn't help, contact HP tech support.

    That is the Vista Diagnostic Service Host (WdiServiceHost). It sounds as
    though you may have hardware issues, but there really is no way for me to
    accurately diagnose your computer from here. I very much doubt that it has
    anything to do with your mouse. It could be a software issue (drivers,
    malware) but since you are having lockups with various services, I would
    start by testing your RAM and then your hard drive. Overheating can also
    cause freezes.

    Back up your data first.

    Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
    just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech;
    suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
    suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. Testing hardware failures often
    involves swapping out suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't
    do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer,
    take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
    equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).
