Computer is freezing?

Question

Is it possible that your computer will freeze if wires or anything else are touching inside of it? Mine freezes multiple times but i moved the wires around and it went about 20 min without freezing. Also it freezes whenever I try to play a game, Could it be my video card causing it to freeze?

Answer 1

Mine freezes when I type commands too close together and confuse the system. The PC will also freeze if you do not have enough RAM to complete a command. Review my checklist for RAM-freeup and see if anything applies to you:


- 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.
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.

Answer 2

It could be a number of things causing it to freeze, I would doubt it is the wires. It would most likely be a software problem.

When playing a game it could be your computer does not meet the min. requirements. Check out the game's website to find out.

Also another suggestion, which might help.

You can disable a lot of programs that start up on your computer automatically and use up resources.

Click on the Start Tab, then RUN, then type in MSCONFIG, A window will pop up, click on the start up tab and uncheck everything you don't need.
