Probably the most common and most annoying problem for users with a computer is its freezing, which often has no apparent reason. In this regard, both experienced and novice users are constantly racking their brains over how to eliminate the unreasonable freeze of the computer and return it to stable performance. There can be many reasons for freezing, and in this article you will learn about some of them, as well as how to fix them.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to Start> Run and type msconfig in the window. In the system configuration window that opens, open the "Advanced" tab and disable fast system shutdown. If Fast Shutdown was turned off on the contrary, try turning it on. In the same window, in the "Startup" section, uncheck the boxes from those programs that you do not need to start at startup when the system is turned on.
Step 2
Open the system.ini file and add the following parameter in the [386Enh] section: PagingFile = C: WINDOWSwin386.swp.
Step 3
It is possible that your antivirus program is causing the freeze. Try changing your antivirus and see if the system hangs up.
Step 4
Open the properties for network connections and under File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, turn off the LM alert. The hang can be caused not only by the network connection setup, but also by a slow network card (for example, Realtek). Try reinstalling the network card drivers and removing the incorrect Windows startup and shutdown screensavers if you installed them instead of the original system screensavers.
Step 5
Turn off the sound scheme in your computer sound settings.
Step 6
You can also disable advanced power management in BIOS and enable Assign IRQ for USB in CMOS Setup. It is also generally helpful to update the BIOS and reinstall the graphics card drivers. The CMOS Setup settings can be reset to the original setting.
Step 7
Do not forget to clean your computer from garbage in a timely manner - delete unnecessary temporary files and folders, and also clean the registry from errors and incorrect files using special utilities (for example, CCleaner).
Step 8
Disable the PC Speaker driver by opening the system.ini file and deleting the wave = speaker.drv line.
Step 9
Don't use Internet Explorer to access the Internet - use safer and faster browsers.
Step 10
Finally, a complete reinstallation of the operating system, which is necessary if your system has been functioning for several years and requires replacement and updating, can save you from freezing. Perhaps some of these actions will help you cope with the problem of the computer freezing.
