I found  the exact problem that causes this freezes. My computer freezed today at 20:17. I went to the event viewer and found that at that time there is an event says that "The DgiVecp service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified."

Is there anyone who knows about it?

Thank you.

Hi, Tekinalp67,

Try Gloria's Suggestion from this thread-

-Or-

Start > Type Regedit

Press Enter

Navigate to the following key:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

 Look for an entry listed as DgiVecp

 If you find this, then change the Start data value to 4.

 Reboot the system and see if the message is gone.

    hi,

    Today the case occurred again. at 07.02.2012 21:20:06 it says The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

    When I looked at the 07.02.2012 21:20:38, 07.02.2012 21:20:40 and 07.02.2012 21:20:41 I have the same error in eventviewer it says that "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1."

    What is that? Is this related with my freeze or is it the result of the freeze?

    DgiVecp is the Virtual ECP Parallel Port (IEEE 1284) Service.  It's used mainly with printers to simulate a parallel port.  I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's for older systems to allow them to work with networked printers by connecting the printer through this virtual parallel port.  I've never found a use for it on modern versions of Windows.

    So, after years of having the same problem, I finally tracked down that it was my Samsung printer that was installing this service, however, like yours, my system couldn't actually find it.

    It seems that many different printer drivers install this service, however, since it's not actually starting, that means that your system, like mine, doesn't actually have any use for it!  (Assuming that your printer is working OK.)

    If so, then you can just disable or delete the service.  I would suggest disabling it first, just to be safe.

    To do so, open a command window as Administrator and type the following:

            sc config dgivecp start= disable

    Make sure that there's a space between the "=" sign and the word "disable".  (It's easiest to just cut and paste this line.)

    After that, reboot your system and start checking your Event Viewer to see if the error message persists.

    If you decide to just delete the service, as I did, then type the following at the command line:

            sc delete dgivecp

    Hope this helps!
