Until last August I did not install any<br \/>\nupdates. At that time I installed Service Pack-1 from CD.<br \/>\nNo other updates.<\/p>\n<p>At about the time I installed SP-1, Windows began crashing<br \/>\noccasionally when I scroll a window using the mouse on the<br \/>\nvertical thumb slider. I&#8217;m pretty sure it only happens when<br \/>\nI scroll upward, not down. It happens most often in Internet<br \/>\nExplorer 8, but it has happened in some other programs, such<br \/>\nas my graphics drawing program. I don&#8217;t recall that it has<br \/>\never happened in my text editing program, and it has never<br \/>\nhappened in Windows Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>I will scroll a window down, and &#8212; sometimes &#8212; as soon as I<br \/>\nstart to scroll back up, the video goes black and the computer<br \/>\nfans go to full speed.<\/p>\n<p>I press the reset button to restart the computer. And there is<br \/>\nan odd behavior when I do.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, say if I press the reset button while Windows is<br \/>\nrunning, the fans will go to full speed for a moment and then<br \/>\nslow down to normal speed, and the power-on self-test begins.<br \/>\nWhen a scroll-initiated crash occurs the fans go to full speed.<br \/>\nWhen I then hit the reset button the fans momentarily slow,<br \/>\nthen go to full full speed again, then slow again, then go to full<br \/>\nspeed yet again before finally slowing to normal speed, and<br \/>\nthe POST begins. I&#8217;ve never seen this happen in any other<br \/>\nsituation.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone else experienced scroll crash?<\/p>\n<p>Anyone have a good idea where the problem could be?<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Jeff, in Minneapolis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[42],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9028","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-7"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9028"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
