Does your computer always freeze up without any cause while in the midst of doing something? Or does your mouse often freeze so you have to manually turn off your computer which is not safe for the computer or cause data loss?

Above are very common complaints for all computer users. If you have searched the Internet, you will find that these are due to a variety of things. Here some methods will be discussed on how to fix computer freezes.

Firstly, it will relate to the hardware on your computer. If there are defective or mismatched components existing on your computer, it will cause the random freezing-up of the computer. So you have to check your computer to see whether there are something conflict and then replace them correctly. Besides, it is necessary to note the settings of the Bios should be correct; and then the frequency of the CPU shouldn't be too high; and the memory modules are correctly inserted into the sockets; and the displayer / power shou ld be good heat-dissipation.

Secondly, it will have something to do with the software installed on the computer, which take up lots of system resources. So it is highly recommended that you can uninstall the unwanted programs from Add / Remove Programs when noticing that they are no longer used. Also, if too many programs runs automatically when booting up the computer, some will cause computer freezes.

First guess, you need a memory upgrade. Not hard drive (storage) but memory. After that, a good spyware and registry scan.

Answer by Cheeto
Have you tried double clicking to many times? That makes it freeze. Also rushing your computer makes it not work well. Try Crtl Alt Delet to make sure it is frozen, it could be a virus.

Doing a scan every day isn't necessary; all that wil do is lessent eh life of your hard drive. Go buy one of those "air-in-a-can" things and blast the hell out the fan area on the back or side of the tower/laptop. Improper airflow/gunk on and around the fan is accountable for damn close to about 60 percent of all permanent computer crashes.

When my computer freezes I push ctrl, alt, and delete and this box comes up and you click on the program your in and click end. But this is all I know. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can actually be the fan or actual power supply because of the temperature of your computer. But it can also be your mainboard that controls your entire computer basically. I recommend not opening it yourself since youre not so experienced with it. It can cause damage to your computer if you touch or change the wrong things. You can try call the company or even the place where you bought it. It might cost quite amount of money, but if you really need this computer, then its definately worth it. Good Luck!

Answer by chulaginag@sbcglobal.net
use control, alt, delete buttons all at once to snap pc out of freeze. or 3 times quickly to restart everything all over; you may lose work not saved. good luck

Hia, first of all don't worry and calm down !! Right, Sometimes the effects of crashing are caused by 1) Too many programs running at once or you clicking something continuously with speed. 2) You have an infectious program on your computer e.g Limewire is well-known for viruses and although I use it myself I have been told that MSN messenger eats up your computer 3) You have a virus on your computer so if you have done or have any of theme points then I suggest you uninstall the program or take it to a repair shop.

Look into buying more RAM memory. This is an inexpensive and easy way to upgrade your computer's performance. Make sure you have at least 512 MB of RAM. To check how much RAM you have, hold down the the "window" key on the bottom left of the keyboard (the key that looks like a flag), and then press Pause/Break at the top right. Then, a page comes up. At the bottom of the page, it should tell you how much RAM you have. Remember, you need at least 512 MB, and your computer will become much more stable.
