Computer freezing!
 

Hi, my computer is kinda old, about 2 years. Im having massive problems with the computer just locking up and freezing during mundane activities. I'll be looking at a website and then BAM frozen. I cant even play basic games like close combat anymore with it becuz it just freezes minutes into it.

Specs: Pent 4 2Ghz

XP windows

Perhaps you just need to reformat and start over. I found that my laptop (over 5 years old) crapped out about every year and a half to two years, so I just reformat, start from scratch, and it works fine.

Sometime you just need to clean house.

Reformatting is definitely a great idea. Evacutate all important documents to another, stable machine, and format away. What's happening to your computer is simply inexcusable for the age of that machine.

Yes, I agree. Reformatting sounds like a good start. I found that my PC would also act like this when the c-drive began running out of disc space. Time to burn onto cd or delete your large files and wipe the slate clean.

Make sure all of you fans are working properly as well, although it sounds like it just needs a to be formatted.
