Guest Urbaan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi guys! I've had some major issues with windows7 since a few months back ago, I've been trying to google it but without results. The problem for me is that Windows is shutting down program when I am trying to launch them. The message is: The program has stopped working - A problem did that the program stopped working. Closing Program. This problem can pop-up whenever I install and try to launch a new game, program or something like that. (Thank God it diddn't "Stopped working" when I installed BF3) Does anyone know what I can do about this because I'm starting to think about re-installing this "crab" windows just to get rid of the program.

Guest iNoizZ Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Allright, did you try I full virus scan? And a registry cleaner? Try it, it will remove possible viruses en windows faults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Navi491 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Use ComboFix. Good problem fixer for all sorts of problems with windows. Its free. Just google it, and run it in safe mode. Other options for scanning your PC for problems would be running SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition, and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Both of which are free and should be run in safe mode. Run them separately from Combofix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Urbaan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Okej Thanks! :) I'll look in to it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 How much RAM do you have?, Go to the start menu and search for "system information", next to installed physical memory(RAM) tell me how much it says. There are hundreds of issues that can cause windows to show the error your seeing as its rather generic, running out of memory is a common one, or some kind of exception(i.e. out of range, division by 0 etc).

Guest Urbaan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My Physical Memory is 6GB. Available Physical Memory is 3,69GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iNoizZ Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My Physical Memory is 6GB. Available Physical Memory is 3,69GB? I really have no knowledge when it comes to RAM but i have: Physical Memory: 6,00 GB Available Physical Memory: 4,22 GB It is different....

Guest Urbaan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If you want, you can go through my computer over TeamViewer tonight when I'm coming home around 00:00 - 01:00 CET if you want to. (00:00 CET = 4 PM West, 5PM Mid 6PM East US time, I think) regards Urbaan=US= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ret.Maj.Xander=US= Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My Physical Memory is 6GB. Available Physical Memory is 3,69GB? Is this windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? 32-bit Windows has a RAM limitation of 3.5GB. From Wiki The final piece of the 3 GB barrier puzzle is a limit deliberately coded by Microsoft into the "non-server", or "client", x86 editions of Microsoft Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The 32-bit (x86) versions of these are able to operate x86 processors in PAE mode, and do so by default as long as the CPU present supports the NX bit.[13] Nevertheless, these operating systems do not permit addressing of physical memory above the 4 GB address boundary. This is not an architectural limit; it is a limit imposed by Microsoft as a workaround for driver compatibility issues that were discovered during testing.[14] Thus, the "3 GB barrier" under x86 Windows "client" operating systems can therefore arise in two slightly different scenarios. In both, RAM near the 4 GB point conflicts with memory-mapped I/O space. Either the BIOS simply disables the conflicting RAM; or, the BIOS remaps the conflicting RAM to physical addresses above the 4 GB point, but x86 Windows client editions refuse to use physical addresses higher than that, even though they are running with PAE enabled. The conflicting RAM is therefore unavailable to the operating system whether it is remapped or not.

Guest Urbaan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's a 64-bit (Win7 Home Premium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Urbaan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 did you try re installing windows? No, not yet and I really want that to be my VERY LAST exit. Though I start to think that that's the only option left :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harkster Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I would take out all but one stick of ram and try it. if it happens after many tests try another stick and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Its difficult to trace a problem, hence why people reinstall windows because it recreates all the links between files and registry so in essence its a blanket fix. It works, but you will never find the source of the problem and it won't help hardware issues. I would run windows memtest just to be sure http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/715-memory-diagnostics-tool.html It could also be a virus scanner problem so try disabling that and see if it resolves the issue. Also try what harkster suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Urbaan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 SGM.ThievingSix: I've just done the Memtest and it didn't show any problems, at all. I don't think it's the virus scanner since I just changed Virus Program (about 1 month ago) and the problem was there before. PFC.Harkster: I'm gonna try that this weekend, or eles I'll just start WW3 versus the company I brough the computer from. The computer is about 1 year and 20 days old (Brought it 2010-12-07) and I don't mind starting a war since I payed about 2000 Euro for the computer. Anyway, I'll try what PFC.Harkster said, if that doesn't work I'll start WW3 :) Regards Urbaan=US= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
