Talkpader 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 My Laptop (netbook) is Degee I8B11D4 and recently it has picked up this annoying habit of stopping and freezing pretty much any program I run every 2 to 10 minutes. No matter the program, everything from Torchlight to windows explorer(actually froze firefox after typing that), the program will freeze and I will get the "not responding" message most of the time. The amount of time it will lock up varies roughly between 5-30 seconds and sometimes longer. My anti-virus(avast) tells me I'm clean, and I have defragmented and cleaned out my HDD. I even went through and cleaned as much dust as I could find and still to no avail. I have no real idea what is causing this. If anyone could help narrow my problem down I would greatly appreciate it.My specs are:Brand: DegeeI8B11D4Operating System: Windows7Processor: Intel Atom D425 1.8GHZGraphic Processor: Intel GMA X3150Display: 10.2'' Wide-screen 1280*600 WXGASystem Memory: DDRII 1GHard Drive: SATA 160G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anwiii 17 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) well from my knowledge, you're using the bare bones minimum ram needed to even run windows 7. i am assuming you are running 32 bit so windows 7 should be 32 bit. upgrade your ram to 4gig. this will probably be the easy fix to your problem. if you don't want to spend money, backup and reformat your h/d. if you don't want to do that, run "msconfig" and get rid of the programs that may be running in the background which you don't need. the last idea can be time consuming if you don't know what to look for or what each program does. hope this helps. personally, i would front the money to upgrade the ram. like i said, windows 7 itself needs about 1 gig. this doesn't include all the other programs you are running that you may not even know about. a good basic indicator to find out your cpu usage is hitting control/alt/delete at the same time to get in to your tasks manager. it gives you some information in what areas are eating up your resources. there are good free programs out there too that allow you to manage your ram but you hardly even have any ram :)you can also always downgrade to windows xp. it will help, but it wont get to the root of your problem. you can also consider putting a linux os on there instead of windows. i never hear of that brand before. obviously it's some sort of a cheap netbook so i don't even know what upgradable ram you can even put in there. maybe 2 gig.

From what I saw of this computer, it is only upgradable to 2 GB of RAM. But that would definitely be the problem. 1 GB of RAM is nothing and even opening up 2 or 3 programs would cause such a slow mess. Nice diagnosis of recognizing the problem immediately.

daviscup 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 Upgrading your system will solve the issue. Increase RAM, HDD and the processor to get a good speed. Meanwhile run MSConfig and disable the unwanted program and disk cleanup to delete the unwanted files. It is better to run a virus scan to check if the slow system performance is due to virus/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xivio 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Nothing drives a person more nuts then a frozen computer. This goes for technicians, administrators, typical end users, and everyone else in between. You?ve been working for hours, when suddenly your computer completely locks up, and you are relegated to either rebooting your entire machine or simply killing all programs presently running. It typically happens for no rhyme or reason, but more often then not, is caused by multiple applications overloading your PC to the point where it can?t take it anymore.While rebooting is usually the most effective solution, it?s typically not the most practical. Fortunately, amongst many of their great products, Resplendence Software has come up with an amazing solution to your ?frozen? problems, called AntiFreeze.AntiFreeze is a self proclaimed ?Emergency Task Manager? that is capable is suspending all applications presently running, and killing them if necessary. This is how it works. While AntiFreeze is sitting in your system tray, eating up very little resources, it?s awaiting the hotkey combination of ?ALT+CTRL+WIN+HOME?. Once this sequence of keys is pressed, the task manager like AntiFreeze is launched and a majority of running applications go into a ?suspended? mode. Where as it doesn?t kill any particular app, but it places it into an anti virus like quarantine and allows you view any programs that may be the culprit. As opposed to the Windows Task Manager which doesn?t suspend applications, it forces you to kill applications one by one. The suspension feature of AntiFreeze is what makes it unique. It essentially ?kills? any item that may be the problem child, without actually killing it at all. In the screenshot below, you can see that you also have the option of resuming programs, which you know aren?t causing the issue.The only time that such a great application as AntiFreeze won?t come in handy, is when your mouse itself has become unresponsive and your system is quite literally LOCKED UP. This typically points to a hardware issue, whether it be a driver or overheating. Other then that, AntiFreeze is a perfect solution for software based lockups, which can be quite frequent on Windows based machines. This can be especially handy on a Windows based server, a server where a reboot cannot be accomplished during production hours. AntiFreeze is compatible with 32 and 64 bit XP, Vista and Server 2003 operating systems.For the amount of resources that it eats up, and its completely simple ease of use, you can?t go wrong with AntiFreeze. It does everything as advertised. I have yet to discover any bugs or problems thus far, but please let us know of any you already know or discover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plz shift to a liter os like winxp.... Computer freezing like you said is not normal and is not due to ur configuration....Plz try run a full format of ur hard drive and install windows 7 again.... Dont forget to back ur files up before formating....Freezing would be a os related problem thus i recommend you get windows 7 reinstalled from scratch....
