Computer freezing on start-up

Stevo · Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 2:41 pm Post subject: Computer freezing on start-up

I have a problem on my computer. Since yesterday my computer has been freezing up when I start it for the first time. I can open things, but they don't do anything. Like I can open IE, but it never loads a page. I also noticed that the Norton thing gets disabled.

When this happens I just go to restart the computer. When it is shutting down, it says that ccApp.exe is not reponding and stuff. After I click End Task it starts logging off. It takes forever to log off then it just goes to a blue screen. It just stays there until I hold down the power button to shut down manually. When I boot it up again, it loads just fine and everything is as if nothing ever happened.

I think this ccApp.exe is causing this and it is part of Norton. Has anyone else ever had any problems with Norton and, if so, how do I fix it?

dunno, but I had problems on cold booting and solved it by updating my bios. Somehow it got corrupt. Maybe uninstall norton and reinstall it.

I just installed it this weekend. Maybe I'll reinstall. It just took so long. How would I update my bios?

i wouldnt update bios until you have no other options. id reinstall windows first. bios updates dont always go smoothly, and when they dont, you have to send motherboard in for repair, or order a new bios chip (not too expensive, just a hassle.

This sounds like what was roughly happening to my computer a few days ago. If you start to recieve a massive amount of error messages when you start to log off/shutdown then you have the same problem that I had. Youll probably have to reformat, since I believe that it was a virus that had attacked my anti-virus program (McAfee). It would also explain Norton be constantly turned on/off for you.

Well it didn't do it today. Hopefully it fixed itself. How, I don't know, maybe a Steam bug.

When in doubt blame Steam or Jfet.

yea the ccApp.exe gave me some problems too i think it just happens sometimes

i used to just get where i start up and no programs will start and when u shut down it takes forever to end ccApp. but i havent been having that fer over 5 months now. id try updating your anti virus if its not. andi guess it eventually goes away.
