constant PC Freezes by aNILEator on 12-15-2004 at 10:07 AM

OK i've had it with my PC just stopping while i'm playing music or something and freezing or the internal speaker going off when it freezes

I have no idea why it does this, it does this when i leave the computer alone for too long or if i'm just playing music

I have no idea and its incredibly annoying, also upon computer start up there is a horribly loud grinding whirring noise from my tower.


Does anyone have any ideas as to how i could fix it, if there isn't then i will just have to *shudders* go to a PC shop to get it fixed :o

Sounds like your cpu is overheating. Check if the fan is spinning properly. It might need replacing.

The whirring sound could also be a malfunctioning hard-disk or cd drive.

That used to happen to moi!  Is it an old pc?  Have you got much Ram?  Try scanning it for active trojans and things.  These slow down your pc a lot.  I recon though its because you have lots of bottle necks in your pc and it just slow du to know virtual memory.

I'm getting a new computer in a mini tower soon (3 months maybe) i think
