Solve : Computer freezes up?

1.	Solve : Computer freezes up?
Answer» Also i am noticing that its freezing up on me during the reboot process. IM thinking this could be a problem with my motherboard ? Thanks EdBeginning to think this could be a failing hard drive or corrupt or missing Windows files...IMO. Do you have all of your important documents and files backed up? The REASON I'm asking is that you should perform a HD diagnostic...using software as it pertains to the manufacturer of your current HD. You can usually visit their site for this software. You can also use this same software to repartition and format the drive to perform a clean install of XP. Time consuming? Yeah...I know. Yet...if we can rule out the hardware, this may be the way to go. Back up everything you want saved, first. You also may want to wait for further replies to this topic...Ok been a week now, my hard drive started to be very loud, so thinking this might be the problem I went and replaced it. During the windows install process my MONITOR blink a lot and I had to restart the install of windows several times due to my computer freezing up. So I now have a new hard drive and still have the same problem with it freezing. Im beginning to wonder if it could be my video card ? Any ideas? Thanks for the help ;o) EdAlso im getting messages saying i have probems with my registry now, is there any free registry repair programs anyone know of and will this cause any of my freezing issues ? Thanks EdQuote from: GX1_Man on November 11, 2007, 05:43:52 PM What's next is some details about the computer, including make and model and age. Size, make and age of power supply? What happened prior to these problems? Any changes in hardware, software? Any power surges lately? Do you have a surge suppressor on that outlet? How long has this been going on? Do you have a real Windows CD? What type of ANTIVIRUS, antispyware, etc. are being used? Keep that side panel off and blow a fan directly in there and SEE if it continues. While in there make sure all fans are turning. Post back with the answers to ALL of these and we can proceed. Did you cover ALL of these questions? If not we can just start replacing parts, but that seems rather expensive.... Hi everybody! I've had a very similar problem as the poster, my computer freezes constantly. I've tried many things although nothing has worked as yet. When I first starting having issues with my computer, I turned off hardware acceleration and this is when it started to freeze. I've turned it back on now, and instead of freezing, the screen will flicker on and off. There has been no freeze since then. Although this can be very IRRITATING, it is not as bad as when the computer froze. Does anyone know of any reason this would happen? I'm at my wits end! Thanks
