My stupid computer keeps freezing! How do I prevent this? (1 Viewer)

[Dragonmaster262]

Well I've tried to install all the drivers. Thing is that my computer freezes when it's doing a lot of things at once e.g. has 5 things minimised on it. I do give it regular breaks after a couple of hours but it still happens. My firend's computers run fine and they use them for vast hours. Can anyone identify the problem?

Roffle...

Specs?

Need more info:
*How old is your computer
*What are its specs
*What are you trying to run
etc...

If you watch a lot of porn/stream free tv shows or use something like limewire it puts a lot of crap on your computer that slows it down.

Try systems restore (if the problem is new) or a reformat

My computer's on about 15 hours a day, running fine.

and yes, Specs.

Could be a bad connection, faulty psu etc..

My computer was built at the beginning of this week.

Basically sometimes when I try to run a lot of things (like 5 word documents) it jsut freezes completely. Neither the keys nor mouse responds and when I push the reset button it takes about 30 seconds for the computer to restart. Pushing the power button when it freezes does nothing at all.

Should have got a mac.

 

[adomad]

put a jumper on the computer... it will make is warmer ergo, making it freeze less

Use task manager to check if there's anything eating up a lot of CPU time.

Virus. It came with a virus.

I doubt it's hardware related, it's new. Unless something's faulty.

Probably best of you don't insert penis into USB port.
