Does that include the part before windows is started ?
If so, it's a hardware problem |
Nope it starts up normally, most of the time I can sometimes run things through task manager.
I'm going to defrag everything and see how that goes.

Way to copy and paste.
But his screen is losing signal from his GPU, which then to get it back is forced to hard shutdown.
So no you might want to go reread some more information. |
I didn't copy and paste any of that :\
Besides, what relevance does it have anyways?
Think before you post. |
Because that is a OS freeze up, he is having a hardware malfunction. Just go delete all your posts because you obviously didn't think before you posted. |
Oh man, sorry for trying to help. Damn. You de-repped me because you thought that the most mature thing you could do was go butt-hurt commando and cry yourself to sleep.
Fuck this. Next time I see a thread asking for help, I'm not even going to try.

| lol, tha main reasons of freezing is heating and unstable configuration in bios about the system speed, but if you set it to auto, the main reason is still thermal, so look if all fans are working especially the graphics card fan..

The white could be a driver issue, but as OP described I'd lean more towards a Windows issue. If Windows is running slowly to begin with, things are slow to open, the display is slow to update, it could be that something is consuming all your resources, I have seen instances where Explorer becomes bogged and the display goes full white, normally it will stay blue but usually the full white you describe is when Windows is losing the Active Desktop.

| Most of the time, Windows crashes because of 3rd party drivers which were poorly written.

OP hasn't said OS crashes just white screen and non response for up to 5 mins. This sounds less like hardware.
Heat can cause this, but alot of times the card will cut totally out. Before I went risking ESD and extra expense I'd eliminate software. To test for heat you need to see if there is a video card stress test that you can run from a boot disk. Something similar to MemTest x86 (not affiliated with them).
Also you mentioned this is a recent issue. How old is your box. Was there any hardware you changed? Any new software installed, any drivers updated.
Currently at work I'm experiencing something similar on Server 2008 r2 on our SDC. It seems that a bad dvd drive is causing explorer to die when you goto My Computer. You can get anywhere you want from Run, cept My Computer. It freezes and you have to manually kill and restart the Explorer process. I don't think yours is the same. Sounds like yours is doing either at the Windows Splash screen or when you should be getting a desktop generated.
