Windows freezes any time. What should I do?

[Guest Lalit]

Hi,

Lately my computer freezes- immediately after it loads up or when I do not

use for some time. What are simple, if any, things I should do?

After the desktop loads it is quite common for your anti-virus to carry

out the daily scheduled automatic scan. Whilst this is going on you can

find that the mouse / keyboard does not respond properly. What

anti-virus programme is installed?

 

How much RAM? What CPU speed?

 

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance

Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

 

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With

the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes

before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures

for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

 

Do you leave the computer on 24/7?

 

I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report. Open Disk

Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and

click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents

Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it

is more informative.

Hope this helps.
