There a several reason why your computer is hanging/freezing. Also a bit more information would help to decrease down the problem. But, I will try to cover all the most adjectives reason for computer lockups.



First query is when was the later time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a integral host of errors and problems. Hangs and Freezing up is one of them. If you have seriously of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke.



2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be a the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using deeply of RAM by net surfing or other comings and goings without plenty empty space your will acquire freezes and hangs. You don't entail to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary information and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below join will show you how.



3. You have spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected.



Hope this help.
