My computer keeps freezing

Hi,
HP Pavilion not available reset button.
A hard or forced reset erases all information in the computer's memory which may restore functionality. Resetting your computer forces the system to clear and reestablish the software connections between the BIOS and the hardware.

Performing a hard or forced reset might fix the following conditions:-
Windows stops responding.
Computer stops before Windows loads - no boot, blinking cursor on a black display, and errors relating to OS not found or a missing drive.
Display suddenly goes blank and stays blank.
Software freezes.
Keyboard stops responding.
The computer does not return from sleep or suspend mode.

Thanks..

hookay do you want to save data? do that first

then just format the drive good as new

re install software

and voila new machine

Per HP support this computer does not support windows vista. They are saying no driver for video. I have also checked driver guide site since i am member and only XP drivers. If this is on-board video card you might have to wait and see does hp put out these drivers or some how some one gets it to work. Good luck with this.

It is also important to remove the suspicious applications and programs in the computer to avoid Windows freezing. In this type of infection not only your Windows registry gets corrupted and needs massive repair but also there is virus based penetration in the Windows set up. In this situation it is recommended to conduct a virus scan as well.However, if your Windows freezes up, the best solution is to repair the computer registry.use registry cleaner reginout

Sounds like it is time to replace the DVD unit

if by freezing you mean shutting down then its overheating and youy need to keep it cooler

if its freezing you are trying to do too many things at once unles its old

(freezing means you can still use mouse and keyboerd)
crash is when you cnaot use mouse or keybored)

in the bios setup set first boot device as a cd rom and then insert the OS cd and reinstall the OS.
