My computer keeps freezing...

And i dont know what to do D : I've scanned for Viruses and stuff but nothing comes up..


I've tried to download a reg. cure program but it does nothing ._. What should I do?

 

RAM, processor speed, and OS?​

 

^ This, as well as:

- Does it just do this randomly or does it do it when you're doing certain things, i.e. gaming?
- How long have you had this PC?
- Brand of PC?
- What virus software did you scan with?

 

It does it sometimes randomly..but does it when im on the internet mostly

-Toshiba Satellite Laptop..

-Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

 

Do you have any toolbars installed in your browser(s)? If so, how many?

I ask this because I've seen many a student come into the ITS lab with a slow computer, and there's 10 toolbars installed in Firefox.

Also, you didn't post the ram, processing speed, and memory. Post memory usage too (what's free on your hard drive compared to it's total capacity).

 

OS matters too. Vista eats up a lot more memory than XP, for example.​

 

^This. First thing I did when my mom complained her Vista-laptop was running slow was upgrade her memory. Cost me less than $40 to upgrade her to 8 GB of RAM, the max her laptop can hold. Only took ten minutes to install too.

Also OP, I forgot to mention in my first post that you should try to clear your cache. You say your computer freezes mostly when you're on the internet; this could be because temporary internet files from past log-ins get saved to your computer, and the next time you log in the comp is more likely to pull the old stuff, which can cause hang ups and freezing. To clear it (this is for XP; I think it might be the same in Vista):

1. Click 'Start'; choose 'Control Panel'
2. Click on 'Internet Options'
3. On the General Tab, under 'Browsing History' there should be a button that says 'Delete'. Click it
4. I leave my cookie unchecked; this makes sure the wizard doesn't clear my log-in info. Check the Temporary Internet Files, History, Form Data and then press Delete

This usually works, you could also try a Disk Defragmenter scan to see if there are any fragmented files floating around.

 

I tried what you have said and it work, thanks ^_^


This can be closed now.

 

Glad it worked for you. ^^
