Annoying "Generic Host Process" problem.

Cen0x™ · August 15th, 2006

Hello Everybody.

Few days ago i started experiencing a very annoying problem,

I am able to work on the computer only about 25 minutes with the internet after that few errors are starting to appear on the screen here are few pics :

And this error appears after about 10 minutes after the first one :

if i press ok or close on one of them , my whole GUI is crashing to standard and internet connection is crashing too, say everything that is running is crashing.

I tried everything to solve the problem from full computer av scan to full computer spyware scan and hijacking scan, And nothing found.

Hope you people have any ideas or familier with this problem, Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance /Cen0x™.

Sounds more like a hardware issue (I'd guess ram) if anything. Download a ram tester like Memtest86 (the bootable one, not the windows one) run it, and see what it comes up with.

Well you know actually it happens only if am connecting to the internet ..
if i will leave the pc on without internet it will not show up .. so i am in doubt that its the memory..

Ah, the original post was unclear about that. What network card are you using? The card could be faulty or it might need a driver update (assuming you're using a LAN connection to connect to the internet).

Memtest86 has not been updated in two or more years and had some flaws.

Better off to use Memtest86+ instead.

It might actually be ICS. Let me do a little research.

Update: Seems a ton of junk is tied to that service. Look at your event logs for anything unusual. Worst comes to worst, reinstall ICS or install some NAT program and see if it goes away.
