IBM T-42 Freezes when I try to DL or Play Video...wh​en I have 3 windows open

I have 4 IBM T series laptops, 3 T-40's and ONE T-42...The issue I have is with the T-42 ..2379RFU , it randomly freezes and from studying the problem I find it is for instance when using IE and I select to DL some software ..there is 2 windows that pop up on top of each other immediately...in addition the the original window I use to browse to find the DL...One window says ofcourse ...RUN...SAVE...or Cancel I believe...can't remember what the window under it says but as soon as these windows pop up the computer freezes...and I can't do ANYTHING...CTRL-ALT-DELETE or anything else...all I can do is press the power button to do a hard shutdown of my system...Then do a restart...NOW when using Firefox I can DL...but it STILL freezes when I watch certain videos online...In addition it freezes when trying to use Windows Live Mail...It's like when a certain amount of memory is used it freezes the puter ...and I've watched the performance using the Task Manager when this happens and EVERYTHING freezes and CPU usage goes to 100%...but it also does on my other laptops but they don't freeze up...SOOOOOoo this is what I've done so far...I've ran diagnostics on as much as I know how to...and everything is fine...I've swapped the hardrive with one of the other laptops I have and still the same thing...I've swapped all the memory, swapped the wireless card and still the same thing...I changed the Modem...lol...still the same thing...The T-42 doesn't seem real HOT and the fan works fine, I pushed EVERYTHING and move the puter when it freezes and still nothing...Swapped the keyboard even...thinking about swapping the Navigation pad and buttons with one of the other puters but haven't yet...I've done every update I can possibly find, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, IE, Firefox, Disabled my Anti-Virus and Firewall, uninstalled drivers and re-installed, Disabled the Hardware acceleration...Updated the BIOS and checked for other updates...and STILL the same result...I have NEVER had a problem with ANY of my other T-series latops...and the only thing I can see that is different from the T-40 and the T-42 in terms of general visionary stuff is one has an ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 Monitor and the other has a ATI Mobility RADEON 9000 for a monitor....Most everything else as far as Drivers and updates are the same...And I'm running XP Professional on all of the laptops, so I figure it's a hardware problem...since I swapped out the HD's with the same result...This T-42 works great for an old cheap laptop and I can't afford a NEW one NOW...That's why I have these...I have like $200 in all 4 laptops because they are OLD but work prefectly except for this ONE...1.8 ghz processor, 60 gb HD, I gb memory which is fine for what I need in a laptop I have desktops for everything else I do.....anyone have any ideas?...

Hey.
Since you seem to have tried mostly everything, apart from exchanging the motherboard, I'd say you have at least one option left, and that's to reinstall Windows from the recovery partition / recovery discs. That might solve the problem, if this is due to a software-error. General updates etc. might not work to fix such problems, but a clean install should.
If that doesn't help, I'd say the problem is somewhere either with the CPU or the motherboard, maybe bad connections or some sort of malfunction that prevents the computer from coming out of the 100% CPU usage.

  • My new Ipad 16 gb  freezes  when I try watching the apple demo videos?..

    My Ipad starts to play the apple ipad demo videos and then stops within seconds until I hit play and then it does the same thing..it only plays for one to two seconds... any help would be appreciated?

    Which videos are you talking about? Are you referring to [these videos|http://www.apple.com/ipad>?
    ...and then stops within seconds until I hit play and then it does the same thing..it only plays for one to two seconds... any help would be appreciated?
    It sounds like you're not waiting for the whole video to fully download to your device. Take a look at [this explanation of the video player controls|http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z242/asatoran/Playerbar.png]. If the circle catches up to the "dark gray" area, then the player will pause until it has downloaded more of the video. If you press play, the player will play what it has, but if it only downloaded one second more of video, then of course it will pause again.

  • I have a powerbook G-4 15 inch, It wont boot up and the display only works on the first try. it gets to the apple screen and freezes, when i try to restart theres no display. Help please, whats the issue here?

    I left it running over night, it was running perfectly, in the morning the screen was black. i tried to restart it and got no display but i can hear the machine running. so i put away for several months, plug it in, charge the battery, it boots, i have a display, it loads the desktop and freezes. when i try to restart it theres no display. the last time i tried, i started it, i got to the apple screen and nothing. whats the issue here? please help.

    Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

    When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
    Any help would be really appreciated!!

    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

  • Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

    Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai?  If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files.  I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

  • My mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Hi Oli_boss,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it is frustrating when you cannot use the Messages application as you would expect. The first thing I would suggest would be to open the multitasking screen and quit the Messages app. After It quits, relaunch it fresh and test. If the Messages application is still having the same performance issues, try restarting the iPhone. Those steps and others can be found in the following article.

  • ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

    I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Tyson Moore
      Windows XP Pro  

    I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.
