I told my uncle but he said he dint found anything that it could be the hardware but he dint told me how to fix it (he works with computer)I think that the problem is that the computer needs a clean up from inside.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Well your problem could a myriad of things, it could be your boot process, the computer could be over heating, Operating system could be corupted, could be lack of memory, could be viruses, could be a corrupted registry. Need more detail in order to help you with your problem. I would start with a system restore that goes as far back as possible before the freezing started and if that doesn't work do a boot to last known good configuration. I would say do a complete re-installation of your operating system to fix your problem. No disrespect, but you uncle doesn't know anything on computers if he can't find out the problem.

ckcomputerstallahassee 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 if you hear a fan noise it is probably hardware related. Freezing might be bad ram or cpu overheating. I would just look in the case when you start it up. It could be something simple like a wire stuck in a fanblade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seba1killer 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 You should try to clean it.In my case i have problem when i dont clean it for about half year. My cooler gots dirty and start to make noises, so i dissassemble it and make a deep clean.Then i clean the contact of the sockets in the PC and then i assemble everything. It is fast, just take as much an hour.Regards, Seba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangms 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 It sounds like a hardware issue, but then again, it could be an assortment of other problems.If you feel like you can try to troubleshoot the problem by yourself by opening up the computer,then go ahead and open up the case to check out if anything's wrong.If you're unsure about doing this and messing up your computer even more,then seek help from somewhere else. (You said your uncle worked with computers)You said your computer freezes right? So how far does it go until it freezes?Like what does it show when it freezes? Maybe it might help someone else solve your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrdee 1 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 I had a similar problem with a computer i used to have.I bought it custom made on Ebay.The spec was great, but that problem was just awful, the one who sold it to me did not have a clue and sort of washed his hands of it.Apart from the freezing, I had to re-install my Windows time after time and lost loads of work.I tried about anything: I added RAM, I replaced my Hard drive, i cleaned the machine out, you name it......Then one day (after all, what did i have to lose?) I upgraded my BIOS. I just went to the web site of my motherboard manufacturer, downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my particular motherboard and flashed it to my PC.You will not believe this, but as by magic, my problem was all of a sudden gone. My PC ran as smooth as anything and I never had to reformat again. So, it might be an idea to explore that route as well.Please let me know how you get on if you decide to take that step.

Another cause of hanging at the start is the CMOS battery. it may be running low or you may have a problem with your video card or RAM. you can remove the video card and RAM and clean it by using a pencil eraser to clean up the dirt that accumulated in it.
