Before I vacuumed, it almost always was over 95 and usually went up to 110 during games. My LED temperature display on the front of my computer rarely goes anywhere out of the 93 - 107 F range. I recently (like just about 2 weeks ago) did a thorough vacuum of the inside of my computer, and I can say the dust is definitely not a problem. Mass Effect, and my entire computer never started doing this until just in the past two weeks. So any idea? Sorry for making this so long. Even though I downloaded the right ones, and they are more recent than the updates I currently have.

I tried to solve the graphics card problem by downloading Nvidia's latest drivers, but the install failed for no reason, and won't work.

I'm suspicious this could be a hardware problem because I was playing the PC game Mass Effect, which the stalling also affects, and usually after about 20-45 minutes of gameplay the game will experience another one of these freezes where the picture freezes but the sound is still played (or skipping), and then the screen goes black for a second, and I'm greeted by an error message that says 'nv_4 display driver has stopped working properly and requires a restart to regain full display functionality.' The game will then continue you to work normally, go through a few more stalling sessions and then finally bring me to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner, and require a reset button press. I'd click on the video, the video would start up and then freeze everything, and I'd unfortunately have to press the reset button on the front of my computer. But unfortunately the crashes have been fatal two or three times, each time when watching a YouTube video. Even exploring folders on my hard drive do these lock-ups and I have to just sit back and wait.


It does this about ever 10 seconds-1 minute on my computer, more often on Facebook or my e-mail website than anywhere else. My computer has been having these 'stalling'-like freeze patterns where I could just be sitting here typing something on Facebook, and the computer would freeze up and my typing would be delayed for several seconds, and then it would suddenly all explode into the text field shortly after it was done being frozen. I've run into another, but less fatal issue. To Windows users, Microsoft is a single entity.After solving a previous issue with my system where everything would completely freeze after about 5 minutes of the computer being on by going into MSConfig and unchecking all of the unnecessary automatic start-up programs.

” Who wrote these update packages? Microsoft’s Visual C++ team should not be called like this. Looks like either those Visual C++ programmers are slow to update their tools, or the customers of those programmers are slow to update their apps.Ī Microsoft tech support is quoted as saying “Visual C++ packages were written by a ‘third party’.

Some Windows 圆4 edition users reports the problem goes away by manually download the 圆4 edition to install, probably inspired by an old walkaround for KB2467175.īased on the number of error reports and those “me too” comments, Visual C++ 2005 programs probably have a customer base 9 times larger than Visual C++ 2008. On a 64bit computer, the system could have both x86 and 圆4 editions of Visual C++ Redistributable installed, since Visual C++ is a common used component, and it is normal to have 32bit apps and 64bit apps installed on a 64bit systemįrom reading the reports on Microsoft Answer’s Windows Update forum, Windows Update correctly detects the 圆4 edition of Visual C++ Redistributable needs to be updated, but downloads the x86 edition to install. You may not have those components installed, if you did not install one of these apps that ship with Visual C++ components. To make those app more secure, Microsoft offers security update for the customers of its customers of developer tools.

This update is offered when Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is installed along with one of the apps created using a Microsoft software developer tool called Visual C++. In the mean time, you can hide it and unhide after the fix is released (probably in a week or so), or manually download the updates from Microsoft’s download center. KB2538242 (maybe KB2538243 as well, but I did not find an official response from Microsoft) is defective and will be replaced. To save your time going to the forums or calling Microsoft’s free security hotline, this is my answer: Questions about KB2538243 appear as well, but to a less degree. Recently there is an outburst of posts related to the KB2538242 update being offered repeatedly on MSDN’s Visual C++ forums, TechNet’s various Windows security forums and the Windows Update forum on Microsoft Answers forums.
