I've been having system hangs on my wife's machine the past week. Getting worse. Ran Memory tests clean. Stress tests clean and GPU tests clean. Disk check was clean on all disks. Thought maybe I had a software problem. Ran SFC. It had errors but it wouldn't put them into a file (using the microsoft site). Finally copied the log file to a non system folder and went through it found a telemetry.asm-....json file bad in the C:\ProgramData\microsoft\Diagnosis\downloadedsettings folder. However, I wasn't sure this was the bug and I was trying to figure out how to replace it when I stumbled on SFCFIX in the tech cookbook blog. This fixed the problem mentioned above but after about an hour or so I hung again so I'm writing.

This is a desktop machine I built about 5 years ago??
Windows 7, 64 bit Home Premium was the original build. Using an OEM system builder pack.
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor, 3.20 GHz with 8 GB of RAM
Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H The GPU is std on the motherboard
PS is a Thermaltake TRX-650M 650 Watt PS

The collection app didn't get anything, I've attached the txt output.
Resource performance monitor failed, I think that's good, attached output.
Also attached output of the SCFIX file.

Thanks for any help!

will do. Thanks! I'll do that prior to the disk test... the quick test passed, and I wanted to copy part of my disk before I go any further. I use Bootit Bare Metal so I always have a spare copy of things... I just remembered a couple of other things... I did boot up on another copy of Windows on a different drive and that hung up as well. I forgot I did that... Looks more like either a memory bug or maybe I have a PS flaking out on me??? I jump on the memory first.

Thanks!
 
just nervous about the seagate tests... I don't want to take a chance on losing something if it finds a bad sector and tries to fix it. I really don't have a good description on what the tests are doing. Started the memory tests.
 
Memory tests clean. So memory is good and I'm gaining more faith that my PS is good. The machine was up for about 16 hours without a hang. Hopefully I'll catch something when I check my OS and Program disks today.
 
C:\ was fine. My second disk (where I store programs and some data) had one bad spot. The tools fixed the spot. Testing the last disk now, which I use mainly for backups, don't think should be an issue.
