Why does my computer keep freezing?

I have an HP laptop and for the last few months it has kept freezing on me and I am forced to turn the computer off and turn it on again. Sometimes it works perfectly and days can go by without it freezing but other times it freezes constantly and is so bad that I can't use the computer for the whole day. Recently though it has got even worse and it is very frustrating. What happens is that the computer goes on and when I try to open up something, Google chrome for instance, nothing happens and then you can't click on anything. Other times I get into Google Chrome and it goes very slow and after a short while doesn't respond and freezes my computer yet again. Could you please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

    if your computer freezing when ever chrome is opened try to uninstall chrome and re install after restarting your system.

    if your computer freezes often try some pc cleaners like Ccleaner and update your anti virus and scan your entire system.

    if the above both fails better to format and re installing the OS is best way after coping your valuable data

    Your computer might have a lot of memory and its storage is almost full

    Also checks if your computer is protected from viruses as it can slow down your computer

    Make sure you don't have a lot of programs downloaded

    Get Norton 360 or other virus protection program... They also clear up some files that are not useful

    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/

    It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
