If i wipe my hard drive will my computer stop freezing?

Its possible a new install of O.S will work. However, ,there a several reasons why your computer is freezing. First question is when was the last time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a whole host of errors and problems. Freezing up is one of them. If you have a lot of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke. Scan your registry with a good registry cleaner. If you pull up more than 20 errors or duplication, clean your registry.

2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be a the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using a lot of RAM by net surfing or other activities without enough empty space your will get freezes. You don't need to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary data and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below link will show you how.

3. Spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected.

4. That last area is a hardware drivers. This could be the problem if new hardware has been added to the system. So, the drivers should still be up to date. So try the first two suggestion and see if you can get your computer to stop freezing.

Check your drivers. Hope this helps.

Yes and no. If the cause of the blue screen of death is misconfigured operating system then yes, and you don't have to wipe the drive, you simply have to reformat your drive and reload the operating system.

Reformatting will clean up your logical files and thus whatever software issues you have or file corruption will likely become corrected as long as you don't do anything that might make it happen over again. Vice wiping is a physical cleanup of the drive. If you suspect that the crush is due to a bad hard drive then wiping might do the trick but not for long.

k first kick ur friend in the balls 4 giving u a shitty cpu then u need 2 find out if it's a hardware or software problem my guess would b hardware and ur fan is broken and ur cpu is shutting off 2 keep from overheating get a new fan install it and see what happens possibly even a new case if u don't know **** about cpus find a geek and pay him but don't use geek squad unless u absolutely have 2 they will overcharge u like a muthafucker

Yeah I'd say wipe the hard drives and reload windows, 2000 is pretty stable or maybe Xp. Don't listen to Jarredmate's advice though, he is crack addict and a manwhore.

yeah wiping the hard drive could by theory fix all the freezing, but all the other info u have on ur computer will be erased completely.

if there are not important files on there that you wish to save then go ahead if there are back them up first. there are many causes for blue screens, next time the blue screen occurs, if reformatting didnt work, take note of that 000x000000000 stop number than search for it on google you can then see what hard ware is acting up from that info.

If the freeze was caused by software then the answer is yes but if the cause was hardware then the answer is no I had that problem and it was caused by the fax modem was getting bad when I replaced it every thing runs fine.

check the software you installed on it if it is not that then it may be a virus on it

Also try removing files or programs that are not necessary to increase the hard drive space

Absolutely, just use some paper towel and wipe once across the screen.

Technically, if you do a system recovery it would be like a brand new computer (like you just paid for it), but that's not always the case.
