What makes my computer freeze up all the time

Are you in XP? If you go to Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools ( if you are in category view you need to click on Performance and Maintenance to see that)

you will see a number of icons, one of which is called Event Viewer. If you click on that, and then click, or double click on 'Application' and 'System', respectively in the right-hand window, the list will extend to show you the most recent events, the top most being the latest. You will probably see some red icons with crosses on, which indicates a problem.

If you click or double click on one of them to open it, you will see a message identifying what the problem was, and possibly the name of the faulting module if it is an application. That might not be of immediate help to you, but it could be useful to pass on to anyone who is trying to help you, whether on here or on a techy forum, of which there are many.

Both @dtrainer and @paw.. answered correctly. Make a note.
Also here what you can do:

1) don't forget disk defragment,
2) you may have a lot of junk accumulated from the Internet and it makes your computer very slow or freeze. Download CCleaner from ccleaner. com - free version - and run it. It will clean a lot of garbage from your computer.

I suspect you may be lacking memory. And disk defrag. may help release some free space. You have nothing to lose by running disk defrag and ccleaner.

Good luck to you.

"Why does my computer freeze?" I was wondering this question myself not too long ago. I would be using my computer like any other time. When all of a sudden my computer freezes up. I cannot access any programs. My mouse is not moving anywhere. I cannot use control/alt/delete. The only thing you can do is turn off your computer manually which is unsafe for your computer and causes you to lose any information were using at the time.

Anyone who has experienced this knows how big of a pain a computer freeze is. And it is even worse for those who like me had this happening to them on a regular basis. It just seems to come out of nowhere and can be a huge nuisance.

What I learned was that the problems were coming from my Windows registry. The registry is the most important and fragile area of your computer. It contains the information that runs all of your software and hardware. As you install, update, and delete programs the registry becomes filled with unwanted information.

This unwanted information causes two problems. First off it slows down your computer considerably. Like a traffic jam, your computer becomes congested with information and needs to be cleaned out to run fast again. The other problem is windows error messages and your computer freezing up. This useless and corrupted information on the registry counteracts with other programs causing serious problems.

The only way to fix this problem and prevent these kinds of computer freezes is to repair the Windows registry. Because it is such a fragile area it was recommended to use a program to clean up registry errors for me. I did so and my computer stopped freezing almost immediately. Even better it began to run like it was brand new!

If you are interested I have recommended the program I used below to solve this problem for me. With this program you will never have to wonder why does my computer freeze up ever again. Give it a try!

You're using windoze that's why.
