You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C



First open CCleaner

Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.

To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:

Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.

Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.

afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.

The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.

If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)

The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).

Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.

Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

The computer's registry is one big database that has numerous files, options, and settings. These settings and options keep changing with every second of you using your PC and can lead to the damage of some of these settings. This causes errors to show up and the computer to crash. Registry cleaners http://clean-up-registry-faster-pc.com software scan the computer's errors and matches all files and settings with the applications that use them. If it identifies any file or setting to be damaged, missing, or corrupted, it provides you with an updated list of the same and also repairs these errors. Therefore, if your computer keeps crashing and need to fix blue screen of death a good registry cleaner is all you need. Your computer can also cause problems because of redundant files in its registry. Reg cleaners identify all these redundant and junk files that were left over during the uninstalling process of hardware of software and delete them. This makes sure that the "computer keeps crashing" issue is taken care of.

There are many possible reasons for this kind of Crashing...



1. System Errors:

Many errors in system or corrupt data in windows registry leads to crashes. First you need to fox those with any good software toll available such as RegInOut. It will also impact computer performance in positive way.



2.Virus or Trojans:

If you find your Computer Crashes, run an updated virus scanner as you could have a virus.



3.Fragmented Disk:

As files are added, deleted, and updated on a disk, the contents of the file can become spread across different sectors located in different regions of the disk. This is called file or disk fragmentation. Disk fragmentation can slow down your machine because the disk heads have to move back and forth to find all the fragments of a file. Windows comes with it's own disk defragmentation tool and the microsoft website explains how to run it.



4.Repair system files:

When trying to solve Computer Crashes problem, the Last Known Good Configuration will only repair the registry data. But if there is something wrong with the system files, it will result in system instability or failure to log in the system. So a scan with the system command "SFC" is needed. Once a file is found to be missing or damaged, you will be prompted to insert the installing CD to restore the original file. You can go to Start -> run -> type "sfc /scan now" and then "Enter" to begin the scanning. By the way, please remember to use a patched CD to restore the system if the operating system in the installing CD is an older one, avoiding a restore to an older version.

you can boot your computer into safe mode... and disable the automatic restart after BSoD.



if it crashes again. write down the error code. which would be helpful in identifying the problem.





that being said. it's hard to know what exactly is happening to your system. smart move would be to back up any important data you have on the machine in case it really gets damaged... which can happen with persistent crashing.



messing with the registry is never really a good idea unless you know what you're doing. the registry is basically a database of all settings and associations within the computer.



so it's likely, something was edited out of the registry, that somehow has left a dependancy in some sort of media player.



you could try uninstalling all media applications, and reinstalling them. ..web browser, flash, adobe, media player, quick time ...drivers for graphics, sound, display.



download and run a memory test utility. run chckdsk on the hard drive. defrag the hard drive.



errors from sleep mode tend to point to me to a mixed up boot sector. can also... just run a fixmbr routine...with an install CD. although.



the error code from the system crash would give you a better idea where to start. it'll identify the component, or memory module that's causing the error/crash.



also... in general. spyware, and anti-virus scans are always a good thing.



my honest hunch... would be dying RAM. might explain the odd buffer in the speakers. if the system hangs. or crashes. it's normally either CPU or RAM. ...unless something serious has been done to the registry. programs would not function, not crash the OS.



...although, like i said. back up your stuff. a reinstall of windows would solve the issue altogether if it's registry related.



a mem-test (windows 7 comes with one i'm pretty sure) may isolate bad RAM.

I use System Mechanic and just upgraded to the latest version 10 (I had 9.5x before).



You can certainly do what has already been suggested but one more thing which I will mention below. First, to disable automatic restarts in Windows 7 is basically the same as in Windows XP. Right-click My computer-select properties. In the "system properties window", select the ADVANCED tab. Next to "startup and recovery", select the "settings" button and UNCHECK the box for "automatically restart" in the system failure section.



Now, secondly, System Mechanic has a feature called "safetynet" which can UNDO any changes made. If you have not changed the settings for this and the undo features for the registry are still checked, you can just select all the changes you had made with the registry cleaner / optimization function of System Mechanic and undo them. Since you don't now if the registry changes are the cause and if so, WHICH changes may have caused this, you should undo ALL the registry-related changes.



Hope this helps a bit. But to be honest, the kind of problem you are describing is most likely NOT due to System Mechanic because any changes it makes will IMMEDIATELY cause an application to malfunction as it happened to me (with WMV files which won't open at all now in my Windows XP but the same files are fine in Win7/64). Chances are, there are other factors at work here. It may be a hardware/driver issue.



Were you ever able to view videos without any issues on this same PC and on the same installation of Windows 7? Did you re-install Windows recently or have you had any "windows updates"? You can see windows updates and undo THEM using the "system restore" feature of Windows. To get to system restore, is by Control Panel but the quickest way is simply type "system restore" in the search bar on the top right of the Control Panel window.
