Computer stops working

Hi. So, when I play a video game or surf the Internet, suddenly my computer stops working: mouse and keyboard or any other functions aren't working. So, I restart my computer and it's OK again. Sometimes a table apearred witch says about a wgatray.exe error. I have deleted wgatray.exe, wgalogon.dll, wgalogon folder in registry Notify and LegitCheckControl.dll. Nothing is working for me. Still in a middle of process my computer stops working. I don't know what to do. That's the problem and what I have to do?:confused:

P.S.:Sorry for my English, I'm Lithuanian.

You should check for malware too. If you find any and removal does not solve the problem, post in the Computer Security section.
 
Repair your Windows operating system using the Windows operating system CD or DVD-ROM disk.After that scan your system for viruses using some good antivirus programs like McAfee and not those crappy ones which never find anything lol.
 
So, I checked the Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer and I found that the last error (when I was playing NBA 2K11) was by application „Security Center“. What should I do to repair this problem? Why that thing happens?

P.S.:I have checked my computer for registry and other errors and repaired them with CCleaner.
 
Recently I had another computer stop but not in the game, but when surfing the Net. It caused Security Center, too.

P.S.:This is an additional information for those who want to help me.
 
My OS is recently renewed. I said that I scanned my computer with CCleaner and removed all malware.

CCleaner does not fix all registry errors and is certainly not an anti-malware application. You say you have removed all malware but have not said how. You should be checking with something like Malwarebytes and your Anti-Virus application.

If you recently renewed (re-installed? repaired? upgraded?) your OS, it depends what you did since then as to whether the PC could be infected.

If your "renewal" came from a dubious source, it may not be a genuine copy of Windows which is why you are getting wga problems. Normally if you install a bootleg copy of Windows you get a polite message rather than the PC playing up.

I have cleaned all found viruses with avast!Antivirus. And my OS is reinstalled by computer specialist. My Windows copy is genuine. So, the problem still exists. Malware doesn't create the problem. What should I do?

P.S.:There wasn't an error by System security. It was only an information log. There wasn't any errors in Event viewer.
 
Perhaps the messages should be ignored for now and you are simply having random errors. You have checked your hard drives for errors already. Testing your memory is not so easy. This link lists a number of memory test apps. Have you checked all your temperatures including the HDDs?

When the OS was reinstalled by the tech didn't they find any problems, or was it a simple install and return the PC to you?

Could you still have a virus issue? You may think you have everything but maybe not. Perhaps you could post that issue in the Computer Security section.
 
My HD0 temperature is 23 C. My computer doesn't boot my CD where is a memory testing program. What should I do? The OS was reinstalled and was checked for errors. About posting in Security forum, I'll try.

What about all the other temperatures, motherboard and CPU?

You say the OS was checked for errors but did the tech run your PC long enough to see any of the problems you have been getting? What did you tell him to do - fix the PC or just reinstall Windows?

If you cannot boot from the CD you made with the memory testing program, check that the CD drive is first in the BIOS boot list. Perhaps you have an option screen when you boot up. There may be one key that takes you to the BIOS, another to the boot menu. The boot menu would allow you to choose which drive to boot from. On my PC for example, they are F2 and F10 and the boot menu gives me 4 options to boot from.
 
Have you tried updating Windows since the re-install? I realize you deleted the wga stuff. The updater will probably want to re-install all that. Why not let it and see if that fixes the problem by overwriting whatever was left. At some point you will have to do that anyway to maintain security.

What are your specs?
 
GPU and Core temperatures are 40 all others are about 30 by Celsius, HD0 is 21 and Ambient is 0. I have checked this thing with SpeedFan.
My tech didin't run my PC for this long and didn't play computer games. There was only a problem with bootup. 1 time of 10 it didn't booted up. But now, at home, that problem doesn't appear.
I had earlier made that PC bootup my CD first. It wasn't working. That's why I ask you to help.
I run Windows update almost every day, but wga doesn't update. There aren't these files that I have deleted.
My specs are:
AMD Athlon 2800+, 2.08 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 216 MB Nvidia 7600 video card, Realtek audio.
 
I'm out of ideas. If the OS was just installed, there should not be errors such as the wgatray. If you deleted some of its files I'm surprised Windows Update did not reinstall it or post a message. The hardware seems to be OK as far as reported. There's a conflict somewhere. Hopefully someone else has more thoughts.

Did you open up Run and type sfc /scannow ?
