Your computer freezes up:This problem can be caused by a variety of things: viruses and / or loaded software or even hardware. We’ll start with viruses and Trojans as they are most commonly the problem. To eliminate these as causes to the problem you should run your anti-virus software – fix / remove any problems found. You may also want to download, install, and run Spybot, a tool used to identify and remove spyware. After the virus scan, and if you ran spybot, you should reboot the machine. Now proceed to use the computer and see if the problem still occurs. If the problem still occurs then you might have a ‘lack of memory’ problem. There are two simple solutions to this problem: get more memory (hardware), or limit the number of applications that are loaded and being used. Though most people would not like to be restricted by the type or number of applications that their computer runs, it may be necessary due to the computers ability to only recognize a certain amount of memory.
