I would assume you are running Windows, possibly on an older PC. If you haven't yet, upgrade to XP. It is the most reliable Windows as of now. Use registry cleaners (google it) and defragmenters to provide some basic maintenace to your computer. Also, if your computer is older some virus programs, like Norton AntiVirus, will severly slow down the machine, and certainly would cause crashing. Norton is notorious for this. If this is your problem I would switch to something like McAfee or something that is not as processor intensive.
Let me know as to your situation so I can be more specific!

You probably have picked up some spyware. Spyware is not covered by your antivirus software. I assume that your computer is running Windows. Install Spybot from the site below, start it, update it and run the Search an Destroy option. That should speed your computer up.

this could be bacause it is old or beacause of certain websites or because its been on all day. my computer will freeze if it has been in use all day. i just turn it off then back on and its ok. sometimes it just needs a rest

Is it just freezing when you visit a specific website?

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

Also, what freezes and when?
