Maybe there are some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer freezing".You need to clean you computer.
Every time you install and uninstall hardware and software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the registry cause "computer freezing".Unfortunately, over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner.Good Regisry Cleaner can fix computer freezing prominently.It also can improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically up to 300%!

Let's start with simple remedies. May be RAM overload. Check out these suggestions and see if they help.

- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)

I don’t do games, but I do know they are primarily graphics which need and use a lot of memory.

- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
then cl Remove.
There is also a “Disable All” button.
This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

When you are working in a large file, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)

Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

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.

Answer 4

Your not alone! Microsoft tells us they have a reliable XP or Vista operating system, but everybody knows that they have continual problems with their Personal Computers (PCs). The only way you have a chance of operating a computer with very little problems is if you have a stable system to start with, and then never change it. My only answer at present is to make an "image" or clone of your hard drive once it's working ok and then simply restore it to the back up copy when you need to. That's what I do using Norton Ghost software. Good Luck. You need it.
