Well not a lot lately. I bought a new Power Supply (550 Watt) and it works great and everything, but my computer still freezes. Could it be my RAM? I just figured out uesterday that trhe RAM in my computer was a 512mb PC2700 stick. And I added a 512mb PC3200. Could it be the different ones causing freezing?!?

The first thing I would do is check for heat. Make sure the processor is not overheating. This causes computers to freeze. Next, download an anti spyware program: (Avast! Home Edition is free and really works good and Spybot does a good job too. (Google them up if you want to use it) Install the program but do not run the scans yet. Turn off your computer, unplug the ethernet cable (or whatever your internet connection is). Turn on your computer and run it in safe mode (as soon as you turn on your computer, keep pressing F8). Once in safe mode run your anti spyware utility.
Some spyware is really clever that when you uninstall or quartine the process, it adds more processes. If you go to safe mode, majority of them will not start and gives you a better scan. While your there, you can also do a defrag. Defragging is good in safe mode because in normal mode, defrag utilities cannot defrag anything that is running.

After analyzing all those different solutions, it surpassed off to me that the project would o.k. do not have any more something to do with the OS, viruses, or any of that different nonsense. merely positioned, it could be a project comparable to what I had your time in the past. i became experiencing an same hassles, the in person-friendly words element i might want to do became to close it down and attempt back later Lo and behold, i wanting to get a larger hardchronic sometime, I put in it and the project disappeared. WHY? It seems that the project became that the HDD became at fault. A techie advised me after attempting out it, that a capacitor (a thingie that holds a charge for a particular length of time) contained in the HDD became no longer functioning and therefore it became overheating and closing itself down. answer: Get yet another HDD, deploy the OS, deploy all of your backups and/or reinstall any courses or video games you want. a great number of work, yet having pronounced that, a comp. is in person-friendly words a chunk of hardware, it may and does destroy down by no fault of your man or woman. ;-)

Think about formatting your computer, after saving all your useful and/or beloved info in cd's, of course... maybe it's full of virus and/or spyware...
And stop downloading porn or saying yes to any ad you see

virus,spyware from porn sites or low processor speed with heavy OS can be the course of it

What's your processor speed? What OS are you running? How much free space is on your HDD?
