Computer freezes at random times? Help please?
My computer suddenly decides to freeze every now and then at random times while I was doing random things. So it's hard for me to point to where the problem exactly is. It once froze when I was browsing the internet, another time when I was just on my desktop not doing anything, and another while I was playing games. Only way to get it running again was by restarting it. When I restarted my computer, I noticed the DDR voltage went up from 1.80v to 2.00v, not sure if that's a big deal, but that is all I noticed in the change when I restarted the computer.
Running my computer on a:
Biostar MCP6PB M2+
AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor 3800+
Nvidia GeForce 9500GT
2gb ram
... Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
I already cleaned up my registry and defrag
Using Windows 7. Checked for virus also, it's clean.
I checked the memory diagnose, says no problems detected. :/

It might have a faulty RAM. I don't think it's a heat problem since it froze when you weren't doing anything.
Maybe the voltage went up because it is trying to fix itself? But I don't think so.
It could be a virus.
Download Malwarebytes anti-malware from download.com
Run a quick scan, get rid of the viruses (if any) and restart computer and then run a full scan and do the same thing.
A quick scan can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 45 minutes. A full scan can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Oh and yes download Advanced System care and clean out your registry etc. I would try that first.

Bad memory (RAM) maybe??
If you are running Vista or "7" you can test by using Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.
Just type "memory" (without the "s) into your Windows search box.
good luck.
