Computer issues: Freezing

Question

Hey

I've got a Windows XP, I think it's either Media Center or Professional. It's running sort of slow on the internet, but I think that's because of my wireless router. But recently, it's been entirely freezing up. Whatever media I have playing begins skipping constantly, on the exact same spot. I can't move my mouse, and the only way to turn it off is manually, which I hate doing because I've heard it could be damaging to my computer. If you need any other information, I'll post it. It happens most often when I'm on the internet, as well. I use Mozilla Firefox, if this is of any relevance.

Answer 5

It very well could be firefox , but I dont think that is your issue. Does you PC feeze up when you are watching video or when you are just playing sound. If so try updating you sound device driver. You can find this by first getting the manufacturer for your sound card. Right click on your volume control in your start up menu lower right of screen and select adjust audio properties. This will get you the info you need to get your driver. simply download and install.

If this doesnt help you will need to provide more specifics to your problem such as RAM use when applications you are running causes the freeze. You may just have to many programs running in the background. windows washer can help solve some of those issues.

Probably your hard disk is nearly full so please check it and the other thing is the RAM of your computer is not that high. And probably the fan of your processor is malfunctioning so please check it.
