EASY 10 POINTS! COMPUTER FREEZING?

Heat is the biggest culprit when puters just shut down or crash. First thing is to make sure the fans and vents are clean and clear. Get a couple cans of compressed air and blow out the vents and fans. The best way to blow the fan and heat sink is to blow the air into the exhaust vents. Hold your hand over the vents and find which one is blowing air out. It is normally the one you can see one the side or back of the laptop. You can place the laptop on a towel upside down so you can see the inlet vent and place the tube from the can of compressed air at the exhaust vent. Press the trigger on the can and move the tube back and forth across the outlet vent. Make sure you can feel the air coming out of the inlet vent. If you have someone to help, you can get someone to hold a vacuum hose near the inlet vent while you're blowing air in the outlet vent to help catch the dust coming out. You can find some good videos on YouTube on how to keep a laptop clean.

The nest thing is to run diagnostic on it. When you press the power button start tapping the F key that is for your puter and the BIOS menu will open. Select diagnostics if you have one and test everything to find any errors. Not all system come with a BIOS diagnostics. If the hard drive fails you're going to have to get a new one and order the recovery DVD from the manufacturer. If everything passes, it sounds like the OS is corrupted. If you have a system repair CD or a Windows install DVD, boot from the DVD/CD and run repair from it. You will have to access the boot device options in the BIOS to make it boot from the DVD/CD. If you do not have a system repair CD you can make one from a puter that has the same OS as yours. If that does not fix it then your probably going to have to reload your OS to get back up and running. You will need to recover your data and files before doing that. If you wish to try to recover your files go to the link below and read on how to download and use a Linux Live CD to boot the system to recover what you want. If you have a Windows 8 puter then you need to turn off secure boot before using the CD. The Live CD will also allow you to check out the rest of the puter.

Once you have recovered what you need you can reload your OS.

Try Advanced boot options. When you press the power button, start tapping the F8 key. You will see the advance boot menu. Select repair your computer. Select your language and then enter your user name and password. Then click on (brand name) factory Image Restore and next. Answer the question and it should start the recovery back to factory settings.

If you can not access the advance boot options then try recovery from the recovery partition.

When you press the power button start tapping the F key that is for your puter and the BIOS menu will open, select the recovery mode. This will reset your puter back to factory settings.

Manufacturers BIOS menu F key

This is what a BIOS menu will looks like. Yours might be different, I am posting this one to give you an idea of what to look for.

F1 = System Info

F2 = System Diagnostic

F9 = Boot Device options

F10 = BIOS Setup

F11 = System recovery

I have window 7 it was once appearing like that then it crashed after it used to be crashed and constant we use kasperwaskey i consider that is how you spell it anyway it used to be web safety gadget and now my laptop works nice i mean it does freeze as soon as in a even as butt for like a minute i recommend getting a web protection gadget to there round 70 80 dollars but they work and rebooting it won't work i tried and never download an endemic protection gadget on the internet you handiest emerge as with extra virus us

it depends on your operating system becasue when i had my Windows Vista(Worst one) it did the same thing to me. I kept getting blue screens and it kept freezing every 30 mins, But when i upgraded it to windows 7 i had no problem and everthing was working great so it may be your os but its what i think

pry have dust inside laptop causing overheating. get a can of air and blow it out

I dont think that it will damage the computer for pressing the button everytime it freezes but I suggest that you shout down the computer with the power button one last tIme, then leave the computer alone for about an hour or two to "calm down" a bit, then reopen it and it should be okay. It worked when I did it once

I don't KNOW
