Interior heat, a hot video card and or your power supply maybe not providing enough power or maybe crapping out. These three issues can cause locks and or freezes. First try to cool your computer down buy adding another fan or two. Just insure at least one fan is blowing out while the rest are blowing into your case. Last, you might need to replace your power supply and if your a gamer then get at least a 500 hundred watt power supply. If you power supply is not at least that big now then that might be your problem.

My first instinct is to defrag, reboot and see what happens.
Your memory is what is in trouble here, and if you don't have enough memory available, it is definately going to freeze up.
Another thing you might try is look and see how much space you have left. Space gobbling video games take huge amounts of your available disk space and if you don't have enough free space, it will freeze up too.

What are you doing when it freezes up? Have you had the computer professionally tuned up? Is it a Mac? (that will answer everything) Are you running the OEM software? What antivirus are you running. There are so many answers I can give you.

You need to give much more info. Does it frezes during boot ? Do you get blue screens ? What OS you use , Can you install the system?
One thing you can try is runing the OS from the bootable cd ( like Mepis - you can download it from www.mepis.org )
If you can run the system from CD - try reinstaling your windows, if not - you have problem with hardware ...

You need to clean up the "crap" on a regular basis. I would clean up your temp files and internet temp files along with your cookies. I woudl also run disk cleanup and defrag once a month. You can also go to www.download.com and download adaware and spybot to celan up adaware on your computer and you can also download ccleaner which cleans up your registry. You may also have a heat problem which can cause your computer to lock up.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
