@ Jimbo1,

Nice work so far.

CodeStuff Starters is a useful utility, particularly for communicating in Forum what should be disabled and what should be left active.
And I know I have recommended it to you previously. Heck, I use it all the time.

But did you know that you can see much of the same when using PCPitstop OverDrive.
Use the Software(tab) and then the second line Processes(tab)

PCPitstop Overdrive only provides information and does not make changes.
So you will still need to use CodeStuff Starters.
But getting an overview from PCPitstop OverDrive can be a useful guide.

Best Regards.
Ok thank you very much for the newest reports and so far everything looks real good. Few more items to attend to.

1. Take a look at the attach report to disable the remaining items, once done reboot and then move on to the next step
2. Run ATF again,
3. I notice you have ccleaner on your system, I would like you to run that also just the cleaner part. Caution do not run the registry cleaner we do not condone the use of such and we cannot be held responsible for what happens if you do so.

Thats about all I could think of to do, so after running the clean up process I would say try to watch a movie and see what happens and let us know. what happens.

So far, so good. No crashes since the changes.
Thanks again Jimbo1!


Good glad to hear all is doing ok, Remember from time to time to run your cleaner and defrag the drive it could not hurt. May you have a good day.

Again I am very glad to see all is doing well for you and was glad to help you with this problem. After some thought on this matter I have some recommendations I would like to suggest.

1. It would not hurt to run your cleaner after an extended session of Internet Browsing; it may be beneficial at the end of the day, otherwise probably weekly. ATF is a very good tool to use.

  • Also it would benefit you to perform these items as well.
  • Keep your windows updated by checking for them, updates are important because of security issues and fixes.
  • Keep a good AV (Anti-Virus Software) on your system and keep it updated to help scan for such virus. MSE is a good one to have.
  • Have a Good Malware Scanner also, The one I like to use because you have to use it manually, and this would be the way I would set it up so it would not take up some of your resource. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is highly recommend and a good tool to have. Reason for this is Malware can cause problems in a system.
  • Make sure that keep your Java and Falshplayer updated, check weekly for updates.
  • Manage your StartUps – Reason for this too many programs loading up upon start up can kill or overwork your processor. Remember less is better.
  • CheckDisk Scan every 3 – 6 months would also help to insure your files and hard drive is working at peak performance.
  • Most important of all is to persistently backup all your Document and Files in case you would have a need to restore them due to drive failures or attacked by Virus.
Following these Recommendations will and can go a long way of helping do what we call preventative maintenance on your system and could save you a fair bit of trouble down the road. If you are in need or have any other problems, please post here at WTT to receive assistance with the problem you may have.

May you have a good day.

I'm on top of all of the above. I've had no freezing issues since the changes were made, so I believe I'm good to go. Thanks again for all of the help!
