Always starts a couple hours after boot up. A utility I run called TaskKiller shows eBoostrCP as not running, closing it will sometimes 'unfreeze' screen, so I'm not entirely sure eBoostr is the culprit. I've been reluctant to go back to a previous version of eBoostr, until I know for sure.<br /> (Toughbook with: 1.2Gb RAM, 2Gb USB2.0 stick (eboostr), 1.1GHz cpu, XP Pro) </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/rc-random-freezes#post-1244 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:47:23 +0000 Art 1244@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I had problems with the firefox 3.6.2, probably a conflict with ati video card programs. When I removed the 3.6.2 and installed an older firefox version all came in order (stability and velocity). Att.

I was thinking that maybe what triggers the freeze is that I reach a condition where there is not enough memory left and eboostr needs to shuffle things around.<br /> I also have Virtualbox open and I'm using the eboostr feature that uses the lost 1GB in a 4GB 32bit system.</p> <p>If I turn eboostr off, then I don't experience any freezes anymore. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/rc-random-freezes#post-1239 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 05:27:40 +0000 Bunji94 1239@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Nothing to do with Firefox upgrade, I believe. I upgrade my Firefox from 3.6.1 to the latest 3.6.2 yesterday. I'm Firefox user since its build 0.8 around 2003 .... and testing eBoostr since its Ver 2 together with Firefox. I assume there is another reason that you encountered the problem. Nevertheless, information provided appear to be not sufficient ..... Please put the situation in detail, I recommend. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/rc-random-freezes#post-1233 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 10:26:04 +0000 interfasys 1233@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I'm experiencing freezes ever since I've installed the RC.<br /> I haven't managed to pinpoint it to eBoostr yet as I also upgraded to the latest Firefox, but the way it happens is really strange.<br /> Mouse still works while the whole interface is frozen. Stays like that for a while and then mouse pointer freezes as well. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/enable-use-of-hidden-system-memory-still-hates-intel-atoms#post-1136 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:06:58 +0000 Andrey Zarudnev 1136@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>@goose, thank you.

Got the same - invalid Memory Size values in Control Panel and BSOD 0x0000008E in win32k.sys. Memory dump is not saved, BSOD frozen on "Initializing disk...". When rebooted I see all two of my RAID arrays broken.

And replace old cache and settings ONLY if all new settings applied successfully? Or implement something like "Test new settings" button?

It's working fine, but 3 days ago I was encountered with Win Sys 32 Blue Screen after I changed USB flush memory and re-built cash. The blue screen message said "newly installed device would be a cause .... If it happens again, remove the device...." So far, it have not happened again yet. Initially, I was using a 2GB Kingston Data Traveler, then I changed it eDrive 2 GB (Mfr is unknown). My PC is the old machine, Dell Dimension 4600C (Yr 2003 made), OS XP SP3, RAM A-Data 1GB x 2 (original 512MB), HDD Segate ST3320820A 320GB, Ultra ATA/100 (Original Western Digital 80GB). Unfortunately, the dump file at that time is not available because I instrumentally cleaned it up when using CC cleaner. Again, so far no blue screen has not happened again but if it happens again I'll make sure to keep a dump file to make available for the eBoostr Beta team folks. Other than the one-time blue screen case, I have no problem with Ver 4 build 538.</p> <p>Bunji94 from Japan </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-4-computer-freezes#post-702 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:56:53 +0000 BB 702@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I did it.
