| 532810 | 2007-03-14 03:29:00 | I keep getting Random Freezes on my computer a few days a week or so. I have no idea what the problem is since No blue screen comes up. The computer just locks up and is stuck on one picture. Nothing will work, I cant move the mouse, the keyboard doesnt respond... Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could find out what the problem is or how I could fix it??? Thanx, Dan, X_Volt_X@hotmail.com (Feel free to add me to MSN to help me) |

| 532811 | 2007-03-14 03:38:00 | http://www.memtest.org/ Go there, download it, and read how to burn to a disk and boot from it. It will test to see if there is a RAM problem at all, a lot of the time, random intermittant problems are your memory having a slight fault. Good luck. |

| 532812 | 2007-03-14 03:38:00 | You should have continued from this post (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) or this post (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) If this post relates to either, which by the sounds of it, it does. I wouldnt put my email here, you'll get spammed. What are u doing now, for the system to freeze? Playing games, browsing the net, or anything? If it doesn't blue screen or restart its most probably a hardware prob. |

It will test to see if there is a RAM problem at all, a lot of the time, random intermittant problems are your memory having a slight fault. Good luck. I have now done that, I let the test run 10 times. But I never got any errors... So I guess my computer passes that test ? lol Does anyone have any more suggestions on how I could find or fix this problem? |

| 532815 | 2007-03-14 20:52:00 | I would take everything out of the case except for ram, the videocard, hdd, and the cd/burner whatever u have. Boot it up again, see if it freezes then. |

| 532818 | 2007-03-15 03:51:00 | No-one has mentioned software problems, so clean it up (CCleaner for starters), check your HDD isn't full and do a malware scan. | pctek (84) | ||
| 532819 | 2007-03-15 04:03:00 | My past experience with these types of problems usually points to video card or PSU problems. Sometimes pushing a video card (particularly the cheap ones) to there upper limits (refresh rate, resolution, colours etc) can cause this type of problem. I have recently replaced a PSU in a PC which was displaying similar symptoms to what you describe and this solved the problem. Unfortunately it can be trial and error. Unless you can beg, borrow or steal different hardware to try it can become a costly and frustrating process. Good luck ... |
