win xp pro sp2
ms office pro 2003

Since recently running ms update, I have experienced random system freezes,
lasting several seconds, with complete blacking out of the screen. There is
no specific action that will provoke the problem.

I have used system restore to go to the configuration before the update, but
the behavior persists. I have run trend micro pc cillin and adaware (with
updated definitions), but other than a few tracking cookies, nothing was
found. MS AntiSpyware is running.

Can anybody please help me correct this problem?

Thanks,

Clem.

Any errors int the Event Logs around the time of the crash?
 
i suggest you to try panda out ,i had 8 virus on my system norton could
only remove 3 of them,trend micro didnt find any with all updates ,i
downloaded panda and found 5 virus's and it removed them,have not had a
problem since
 
I (think I) fixed the problem by updating the NVidia video driver. I note
that it was not windows logo tested, and it was not recommended as a
hardware driver updated by windows update...

Mr. Lol,

I tried Panda, it only found 3 spyware entries, but see the response above.

Thanks,

Clem.
