Solve : Random Freezes?

Answer»

Hi everyone,

Just recently I have been having an annoyance occur where my computer randomly freezes. So far its only been when I have been on the web. I do play high end games on my system as well but so far no freezing during any of those. I am curious to know what people might think about this and maybe if a certain piece of hardware could be to blame as im doubting it to be a VIRUS. I do complete system scans with about 4 different programs each week. This computer is about 5 years old and the only internals I have changed was the video card and the power supply.

Here are my CURRENT Speed Fan READINGS:
GPU (Nvidia GeForce 26) - 52C
System - 41C
CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 2.66ghz - 29C
AUX - 75C
Core 0 - 38 C
Core 1 - 37C
CPU0 Fan - 1962 RPM
Aux0 Fan - 2464 RPM

Other Information:
Motherboard - ASUS P5W DH Delux
2 Different Hard drives (1 Vista HOME Basic the other XP)
4 GB DDR2

If I missed any vital information please let me know. Thank you very much for your time.Open task manager to the Processes Tab. Sort on the "cpu" column with highest usage at the top. Next time the system freezes, take a look at which process is eating the cycles.Which browser does freeze?
Did you try a different browser?So far it hasn't happened lately. Do those temps I posted look somewhat normal to you guys?The temps are normal. When you say it 'freezes', do you MEAN you cannot move the keyboard and mouse and the screen is completely stuck with no functionality, or does the hard drive spin a lot and the system just bogs down?

Unplug the computer, take your RAM out, and put it back in making sure it is seated properly.1) Don't touch the ram. You said everything is fine now - leave the system alone.
2) If the system DOES freeze again, first thing to do is follow my instructions above.I've cleaned up the thread, deleting the disagreement (which didn't help anything).
