My pc hangs. Quickest way to overocome the problem?

Answer 1

open task manager (pressing CTRL,ALT, DEL keys) this will bring up Windows Task Manger, click on Application, highlight any task that is Not Responding and click on End Task.

Also, to make your CPU boot up faster, I would
click on Start
click on Run
type msconfig.exe (this will open System Configuration Utility box)
click on the Start Up Tab
(you will see several boxes checked under Startup Item). And look for programs that you don't want to launch every single time you log on. (such as Realpayer, yahooMessegner, realsched, etc).
Uncheck the boxes and this will require a reboot. Your computer will bootup a lot faster. These programs you can always open when you want. You can always tell if you have a lot of programs that startup when you turn on your cpu and in the righthand corner, where the time time is at, you see a lot of icons.

Also if you can always open up task manager again, click on Processes, find explorer.exe and kill that process, this closes everything on your screen. dont worry...
then in task manager
click on FIle
New Task Run
and type explorer.exe and click OK
and you will see all your icons pop back up on the screen.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

not enough information to provide a meaningful solution. please provide more details and resubmit the question.
you need to list things like your current CPU, current RAM, GPU size, what programs were/are running when the system hangs, and how long does it hang (freeze) for?
the most common cause is you have too many applications running at anyone time. in other words you are running more programes than your CPU can cope with.
so try runing taskmgr.exe (on a windows xp/2000/vista system).
now in taskmgr yo will see all the running processes on your system try shutting down some background services that don't need to be running.
remember not to shut down explorer.exe or anything like your malware programs.
if that fails then you may have spyware or malware cluttering up your CPUs performance that appears to be hidden from view, go to www.trendmicro.com and run the online scan if you don't have windows there is a MAC scan tool on the site. as for any other operating system i can't advise.

Answer 3

Fix whatever the problem is. Start with a virus scan, then run adaware. Defrag the system, clean out the temporary Internet files. Keep at it until it's fixed.

Answer 4

Do you mean that when you try to shut it down, it starts to, but then won't? If so, you might have programs that won't stop running, preventing shut down. I have had this problem, and fixed it by:

1) Removing as many programs as possible from the taskbar at the bottom, and
2) "Ejecting" the PCMCIA card (by using the icon in the taskbar) that I use, before shutting down. If you have any external devices in use, "eject" or "stop" them before attempting to shut down.
