Each user had to deal with a freeze of the computer. This is a rather unpleasant event that always catches you by surprise. Computer freezes can occur for various reasons. Therefore, for a start, it is worth determining the causes of the freeze and then eliminating them.
Instructions
Step 1
The main reason for the computer freezing is associated with unstable system operation or hardware errors. In particular, the computer may freeze due to processor issues. This can happen due to the appearance of various equipment defects, insufficient cooling, and a power surge.
Step 2
If your computer freezes due to system instability, then you need to take measures to speed up the system and optimize it. Most often, the system starts to freeze after a long period of use. The registry gets clogged, fragmentation increases, errors appear due to inept user actions.
Step 3
Using special utilities, carry out a complete diagnosis of your computer. Next, using the programs, clean the registry, scan hard drives for errors. Also, don't forget to run a virus scan. Often because of them errors occur and, as a result, the computer freezes. Defragment your hard drives to speed up your system.
Step 4
If the reason for the hangup lies in the equipment, then everything is much more serious here. Check processor cooling. Monitor the processor temperature using BIOS or special programs. Improve cooling. You may also need a complete diagnostics of the equipment and its partial replacement. If the computer freezes or restarts due to unstable hardware operation, then this is the first sign of its obsolescence and breakdown.
Step 5
Also, a computer freeze can occur with a large load of RAM. This applies to those users whose RAM does not exceed one gigabyte. You can see how much your memory is being used using the task manager. The "Performance" tab will show the load on your RAM. In case of lack of resources, you need to increase memory by purchasing a strip.
