If Miranda NG freezes, hangs up or consumes CPU without a reason, you may investigate the case using Process Explorer tool.

All you need to do is the following:
* Download [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 Process Explorer] from Microsoft website. Run <tt>procexp.exe</tt> and accept license agreement by clicking ''Agree'' button.
* Download [[Special:MyLanguage/Download#Debug_symbols | Miranda NG debug symbols]] {{Strong|corresponding to your current Miranda version}}. Extract the symbols to any directory on your computer (Miranda main folder will do).
* Point Process Explorer to the debug symbols using ''Options → Configure Symbols'' (Screen 1).
* In Process Explorer pick up Miranda process, right-click it and select ''Properties…'' (Screen 2).
* On ''Threads'' tab in the window that will pop up select the main thread. Under Windows 7 its name looks like <tt>miranda32[64].exe!wWinMain</tt> (Screen 3).
* Clicking ''Stack'' button will open the window containing the information which you may copy and attach to your bug report.
