Visual Studio hangs Windows
- by Kronikarz
I have:
Windows XP Pro SP3 with latest updates, drivers, .NET, etc.
Pentium 4 2.8GHz
2GB RAM
150GB HD
ATI Radeon HD 3400
Recently (as early as a week ago) Visual C++ (both 2005 Pro and 2008 Express) started hanging up my computer. Whenever they are run, after 5-20 minutes of work the computer freezes. Everything becomes unresponsive, including the mouse cursor. No combination of keys does anything. What's strange, is that Winamp/Firefox continues to play whatever it was playing at the time (internet radio, mp3 playlist, etc). The only thing I can do is a hard reboot.
I've run CCleaner and a full AVG antivirus scan, both of which found nothing suspicious.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
