Try shutting down ALL unnessary running programs. Use CCLEANER freeware at: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/. This will clean the junk from your machine. In the TOOLS section, STARTUP page, disable ALL Unnessary startup programs. Open the Task Manager to see what is using all your memory/processor resourses. Runa Full Scan with MALWAREBYTES freeware : http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/ In the install, UNCHECK the PRO TRIAL version, you want the freeware version. Remove ALL unnessary TOOLBARS from your broswer, they are killers on broswer speed.

Follow these steps to fix computer freezes problem::

• Remove unused programs
  
• Install and run antispyware software
  
• Free up wasted space with Disk Cleanup tool
  
• Defragment your hard disk drive
  
• Disconnect unused network connections:
  

Click Start, and then click My Computer.
On the Tools menu, click Disconnect Network Drive.
Select the network drives that you no longer need, and then click OK.

ALSO

Stop Unwanted startup programs:

Start > Run > write msconfig > Click on StartUp tab

Deselect the programs you want to stop


Delete Temporary Internet Files:
Click Start - Run, type in %temp% and then click OK.


Once that temp folder is open and you can view its contents, select and delete EVERYTHING that's inside it.
Repeat the steps with c:\windows\temp

After you're done with both temp folders, restart the computer.

Click Start, type services.msc in the Search box. Press ENTER. Right click and stop each service which is not necessary for you.
For an instant fix use Intel Software Partner Reginout. WebRepOverall ratingThis site has no rating(not enough votes)

If it is updating it will take a while to load updates. Once all the updates are installed it should Boot and shut down faster. Just let it finish the updates. do not disturb until finished.

point the mouse pointer on the deep freeze icon on the lower right of your monitor in the startup then hold shift then double left click it will ask for a password if you did not put any password just press enter then you can choose boot thawed.deep freeze can only be uninstalled if its in the "boot thawed mode".


i hope this helps

You can adjust your pointer's moving speed by going on control panel from My computer. Click on mouse option. Drag the cursor as high as you want your mouse pointer's speed. Save the changes.

Hi,

In case your system freezes at system startup, it usually implies that there are way too many programs loading at startup. Therefore, to fix these errors, you will have to stop unnecessary programs from loading during the startup process. To do this, first check the Start > All Programs > Startup folder. If you see any unwanted programs listed here, right-click and select Delete, to remove them. Next, open the System Configuration utility by running “msconfig” from Start > Run. On the Startup tab, clear the checkboxes of the programs that you do not want to load during system startup. Select Apply and click OK to implement the changes and restart your PC.
Computer freezes due to hardware, generally occur when different hardware devices
The problems may also occur if the device driver of a particular device is erroneous. You can resolve these errors with the help of the Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager.) In Device Manager, locate the faulty device—depicted with a yellow triangle containing a yellow exclamation mark, right-click on it, and select properties. Here, on the Resources tab, you can manually modify the resource allocation of the conflicting device

Thanks,

Since you are able to see your mouse pointer move, the display is refreshing so the problem is with something other than the graphics card. Generally software / OS related.

So assuming you aren't experiencing a hardware failure try the following...

Boot from the CD the computer shipped with.

Insert CD and restart the computer holding the "c" key
Your computer should boot from the CD

If so run disk utility from the CD and repair the disk as well as permissions. If there are any errors repair again.

If this is successful your computer "should" be repaired. If it is still freezing, use your CD to perform a Archive and install which should keep all your personal settings and installed software intact.

Cheers

hi, ok go into control panel,printers and other hardware-mouse -slow the pointer speed a notch at a time. this should help. good luck,glen

hello,

try this,
click on start then run, type msconfig in command box,
system configuration window should show up. click on tab called startup. click disable all, then apply, then click ok, it should ask if u want to restart. please restart the computer.

what will it do? it will disable all startup applications.
if this resolves the issue, then you would know its one of the startup application causing your computer to freeze it.

also right click on bottom bar, then click task manager.
click on tab called processor.
average processor is 25-30.
in my laptop i have only 19 processor runnning.
if you have alot of processor running that definitly cause PC to slow/freeze.

hope this information help you
