PC Keeps Freezing
« on: August 10, 2012, 02:42:58 PM »
There may be several reasons why your PC keeps freezing up every now and then. First let me explain what freezing exactly means. It means that your desktop computer stops responding due to some reason and nothing moves and sometimes even Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work. And you have to opt for the last resort that is restarting the PC. In this article we will discuss the various causes of freezing of a PC and possible solutions for the same.

CPU is Overheating


When you use any machine, heat is produced and given out to the surroundings. A computer is no different. When you use it for too long, it heats up. But usually this heat gets dissipated to the surroundings with the help of a small cooling fan inside the CPU. So if this fan is not working properly, your processor may heat up more than it can bear. This creates problems in its computing operation. The reason for the fan malfunctioning might be a lot of accumulated dust in it. To identify if computer overheating is the cause of the freezing, see if the CPU makes a lot of noise when too many programs are on. To resolve this problem you will have to take your PC to a computer repairs shop and get the cooling fan checked.

PC Maintenance

If overheating is not the problem see if you are keeping your computer clean from inside. By inside I mean the software. Many times we install various games, software, applications, just to try them out. But when we uninstall them some files created by these installations along with some registry entries are left behind. If such unused files occupy a large portion of your drive, your computer freezes frequently. To solve this install a registry cleaner and clean up your windows registry from time to time. Also, defragment the drive and run the disk clean up utility.

Virus Check

If you have checked your computer for overheating and you have cleaned up your registry and defragmented your computer but still your computer keeps freezing, the problem might be a computer virus attack. Certain viruses like the trojan horse, can slow down your computer tremendously. If you spend a lot of time on the web an antivirus is mandatory for your computer. There are many free antivirus software available, which you can use to keep your computer virus free. But you have to update them regularly.

Computer Memory Check

Your computer needs hard drive space to operate. So sometimes your PC keeps freezing randomly due to lack of hard drive space. Also, if your RAM is less your computer will use the hard drive space as virtual memory. But if that is also not available, your computer keeps freezing up. The solution to this problem is pretty straight forward. Upgrade your RAM and hard drive. Also, if you are using an advanced operating system see if your computer configuration matches it.

Update All the Software


Updating all software including the operating system from time to time is also very important to ensure good computer performance. Especially antivirus software which has to be updated almost daily. Updating them ensures that all the bugs in them are removed.

How to Deal with Computer Freezing?

Here are some simple things that will help you to find out the reason behind the computer freezing. Once you find the exact root of the trouble, getting rid of it will not be too difficult.

Configuration Check

Check the configuration requirements of all the software you use often. If they are below requirements upgrade your PC configuration. The RAM (Random Access Memory) plays an important role in determining the processing speed of your PC so check that first. Second, check if you have enough disk space as smooth functioning of the PC requires free disk space.

Performance Optimization

My PC has a good configuration and it is free of viruses, then why does this dumb computer keep freezing up? How you use your computer, also affects its functioning. If you have installed too many software, that will clog the windows registry of your computer. Even if you uninstall many software their registry entries may not always get wiped. For fixing this, just download some free computer maintenance and optimization software and run registry cleaner.
