Why does my computer freeze so often?

Question

It tends to lock up when the screen saver goes on and when I reboot I can't double-click on my IE icon on my desktop unless I first disable my MSN messenger and that doesn't always help I have 300 MB of RAM and a Viewsonic Digital monitor My computer tech says all of this is nothing unusual Is he right?

Answer 1

Could be any number of things causing that problem. First thing to do is disable the screen saver. There's no point running one if its crashing your machine. You can use energy settings to switch the monitor to standby as an alternative, and if this keeps your machine stable then thats the problem solved.

Look, honestly, if you're doing all the right things like defragging, registry cleaning, regularly checking your hard disk for errors, making sure you have plenty of disk space free, all those basic maintenance tasks, and still cant figure out whats wrong with it, then the easiest thing might actually be to just reformat and start from scratch.

I know that sounds radical, but if you cant solve the problem, that will probably fix the issue and at least get your machine stable again.
