what makes a computer freeze and then go again?

Question

PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTZ

Answer 1

Usually - spyware. But there can be other reasons

Answer 2

It is working on a problem and will continue when the problem is solved. To help your computer run faster, click on Tools at the top and then Internet Options. Then Delete Cookies and then Delete Files. You can also De frag the Hard Drive under Start, All Programs, Accessories, System tools and then Disk Defragmenter. You should also have an anti-virus and an anti- spy program. I suggest the Yahoo Tool Bar anti-spy and the AVG free anti-virus.

Answer 3

Your computer freezes when it requires a response its memory to keep going. When there is a loop in the software (like a short circuit), it keeps thinking, waiting for a response from the memory until it times out. If two items are occupying the same memory sector, it gets really confused and shuts down.

Answer 4

It can be almost anything. However, your computer isn't freezing something is taking all of the CPU's attention. Leaving nothing for other devices such as a mouse or keyboard.

Note: Norton sofware causes slight freeze moments on PCs.

and clean out your internet address bar

Answer 6

The most likely reason is that your computer is processing as fast as it could and it is taking all of the processing available so it is frozen for a moment. After the command that you entered has finished, it unfreezes.

Close programs that you don't need or aren't using. It saves memory. You can buy more ram.

Another reason is because of malicious software such as a virus.

Answer 7

You have too much crap in your system, you need it cleaned out. Your resources are low or being drained because you need a good cleaning and then your computer will run better.

Answer 8

you make to many clicks in to short of time you got to give your computer time to think. My motherinlaw does that.
