Why My Computer Freezez - heelp me fix this problem

jjuuaann1
Hi i need help with my computer everytime i start my computer it freezez and it makes a sound like a fan. I told my uncle but he said he dint found anything that it could be the hardware but he dint told me how to fix it (he works with computer)

I think that the problem is that the computer needs a clean up from inside.

Well your problem could a myriad of things, it could be your boot process, the computer could be over heating, Operating system could be corupted, could be lack of memory, could be viruses, could be a corrupted registry. Need more detail in order to help you with your problem. I would start with a system restore that goes as far back as possible before the freezing started and if that doesn't work do a boot to last known good configuration. I would say do a complete re-installation of your operating system to fix your problem. No disrespect, but you uncle doesn't know anything on computers if he can't find out the problem.

if you hear a fan noise it is probably hardware related. Freezing might be bad ram or cpu overheating. I would just look in the case when you start it up. It could be something simple like a wire stuck in a fanblade smile.gif

You should try to clean it.
In my case i have problem when i dont clean it for about half year. My cooler gots dirty and start to make noises, so i dissassemble it and make a deep clean.
Then i clean the contact of the sockets in the PC and then i assemble everything. It is fast, just take as much an hour.

It sounds like a hardware issue, but then again, it could be an assortment of other problems.
If you feel like you can try to troubleshoot the problem by yourself by opening up the computer,
then go ahead and open up the case to check out if anything's wrong.
If you're unsure about doing this and messing up your computer even more,
then seek help from somewhere else. (You said your uncle worked with computers)
You said your computer freezes right? So how far does it go until it freezes?
Like what does it show when it freezes? Maybe it might help someone else solve your problem.

I had a similar problem with a computer i used to have.
I bought it custom made on Ebay.
The spec was great, but that problem was just awful, the one who sold it to me did not have a clue and sort of washed his hands of it.
Apart from the freezing, I had to re-install my Windows time after time and lost loads of work.
I tried about anything: I added RAM, I replaced my Hard drive, i cleaned the machine out, you name it......

Then one day (after all, what did i have to lose?) I upgraded my BIOS. I just went to the web site of my motherboard manufacturer, downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my particular motherboard and flashed it to my PC.

You will not believe this, but as by magic, my problem was all of a sudden gone. My PC ran as smooth as anything and I never had to reformat again. So, it might be an idea to explore that route as well.
Please let me know how you get on if you decide to take that step.

Another cause of hanging at the start is the CMOS battery. it may be running low or you may have a problem with your video card or RAM. you can remove the video card and RAM and clean it by using a pencil eraser to clean up the dirt that accumulated in it.

a pleasant greeting to the God's of computer world.

I just Want to ask something about my computer, when I am playing games.. My Computer beggins to hang when connection is to slow, but I observed to Other pc's that it wasnt hanging when connection are slow.. They can Still move the mouse but mine is not.. The game I used to play is Greater than the specs of game system requirment.  a little bit hang or It takes 3-10 secs of hang while playing game, and whenever I press d Alt-tab and return to game, my monitor turns to black on about 3mins... I checked my processor if its over heated but it wasnt, CPU temp and System temp is on a 30-40 degree celsius..While d treshold of my Processor is 70 degree celsius.

other problem of my computer is Theres a message appearing when I starting my computer. CMOS checksum Error - loaded defaults.. My technician said that my power supply was Flactuating also,and this was the cause of the problem...

I Always run my pc in out of date, even my anti virus cant process Because of its out of date, in this case.. What could be d possible Cause of my computer and d complication of flactuating power supply? How will I know if it is truly flactuating?is it d video card that causes d problem?

 

system specs: Pentium IV Intel 2.80Ghz (socket 478), 1G RAM, 80GB hard disk, 128Mb Video Graphics, 

I truly appreciate if some1 answers my problem..Thnx and more power in this site -reply by Author Name - e.G. John, Mike

    of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
    more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
    amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
    tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....
