Fixing Freeze up Problems on your Windows XP

Are you hav­ing a prob­lem with your com­puter – does it sud­denly freezes up on you? There are var­i­ous rea­sons for that. The first symp­toms are your com­puter per­form­ing slow or not per­form­ing well, and then it moves to the next stage where it freezes. The ulti­mate stage is your PC dying with a Blue Screen of Death Screen error mes­sage, the dreaded one! Now let's talk about how to pre­vent the freeze and then avoid all other con­se­quences that fol­lows after it. When your com­puter freezes, you may expe­ri­ence key­board and mouse not work­ing. The sim­plest solu­tion that you might do is to restart the com­puter. But this is inef­fi­cient one, as you need to keep restart­ing every time your PC freezes. So you must know how to fix the prob­lem so that you com­pletely elim­i­nate it from occur­ring again! Let's talk about that now…

1. The first step is to clean and defrag­ment your hard disk. Go to Start menu > All Pro­grams > Acces­sories > Sys­tem Tools, run Disk cleanup and then Disk Defrag­ment. This should clean up all the unwanted files and frag­ment your disk into healthy disk sec­tors by killing all the bad sec­tors on your hard disk.
2. Make sure to update and sched­ule your Antivirus and Anti­spy­ware to run reg­u­larly, atleast 2 times a week!
3. Like­wise, invest in a reg­istry cleaner. Update and sched­ule scan peri­od­i­cally atleast once a day. This will keep the win­dows reg­istry clean and compact.

If any of the above meth­ods did not work out, we have to find the source of the prob­lem that causes the sys­tem freezes. Let's talk about that now…

There are 3 main causes that a sys­tem freezes,

1. Too many start up programs.
2. Mon­i­tor dis­play problems.
3. Device dri­ver conflicts.

The rem­edy,

1. Too many start up programs:

You might have observed that when you install a new pro­gram like yahoo mes­sen­ger or lime wire, it auto­mat­i­cally is set to startup dur­ing every PC startup. Too many pro­grams run­ning dur­ing the startup over­load your com­puter. Keep it less than 10 — 15. You can choose which pro­gram you want to run dur­ing a PC startup by going to Start menu > Run > Type ‘mscon­fig' with­out quotes. Nav­i­gate to startup tab and uncheck the pro­grams that you don't want to run on PC startup.

2. Mon­i­tor dis­play problems:

This is when your mon­i­tor shows a black screen or "sig­nal out of range" mes­sage imme­di­ately upon PC startup. This is because your dis­play res­o­lu­tion is set too much than what your mon­i­tor can han­dle. The rem­edy is to reboot your com­puter, then keep press­ing F8, and in the boot menu, choose safe mode startup. Once the desk­top is ready, right click any­where on the screen and click Prop­er­ties > Set­tings Tab. Change the mon­i­tor res­o­lu­tion to lower enough for it to work. You can sense it, if you don't get any warn­ing that it won't work. If you don't get that mes­sage you are good to go!  Gen­er­ally 1280 by 800 pix­els is ok! If you don't have that 1024 by 768 pix­els is good enough. Click apply and reboot again!

3. Device dri­ver conflicts:

Some­times your com­puter may not have the right device dri­ver for its hard­ware. It might have an incom­pat­i­ble dri­ver or com­pletely out­dated one. In that case, the fix­ing steps are, right click My Com­puter > Prop­er­ties > Hard­ware Tab > Device Man­ager But­ton. If you see "yel­low tri­an­gle with an excla­ma­tion mark on it" that means the device is not prop­erly work­ing – it doesn't have a dri­ver or the exist­ing dri­ver is cor­rupted. In that you need to put in the CD rom that came with the hard­ware and right click the fault device and install or update it. If you lost the CD rom, you can look for the appro­pri­ate device dri­ver on the inter­net. Install that, and then your PC will be fine back again!
