PC Freezing for short periods -> DistributedCOM Error?

das10 · 15 Dec 2018

I don't know if this will help any, but If you believe Chrome is causing the freezes, have you tried toggling the "hardware acceleration" setting in Chrome ( ie if it is ON turn it OFF and if it is OFF try with it ON ) ?

I don't currently have Chrome installed, but the setting for hardware acceleration should be in the Advanced Settings.

Chrome randomly freezes with hardware acceleration on:

Thanks. I'll try it.

Maybe my thoughts are wrong. Because, it's not just Chrome freezing...it is the whole computer. I can't do anything for maybe 30 seconds when it happens.

First an apology...I posted a couple posts here that were meant for other thread. Have deleted them.

I have updated the system specs.

Today, I had a comlete freeze that required a hard shutdown (ie. hold power button). All the others have resolved after 30 seconds or so.

The information that was posted in the specs was entered in the HP website: HP Envy x360 convertible

It displayed 32 computers:

Your instructions for 7 said:

7) Open file explorer > this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\windows\memory.dmp > zip > post a share link into the thread using one drive , drop box, or google drive

So I opened explorer, selected the C: drive and tried these searches:

C:\windows\memory.dmp
C:\windows\memory.dmp > zip

C:\windows\memory.dmp > zip >

So, I went to the Administrative CMD window and typed in:

dir c:\windows\memory.dmp /s

None of them found anything.

Item 8 done, Driver Easy removed. I don't recall why I have that on here, so I can't remove anything that may have been installed by it.

I'm filling out this post as I work. I'm going to finish the post, as I'm afraid I'll lose all this. More responses to continue in next post.
