Windows Vista Home Premium Constantly "Freezes"?

Question

For the last few days as I work in Firefox 2.0, my computer will "freeze" after awhile meaning that I can no longer surf the Internet or access any other screens, functions or programs. It also does the same thing when I use the latest version of IE. When I try to press ctrl + alt + delete to kill processes, it won't work either. I cleared browser cache and cookies and rand ad-aware, etc..Is there anything else left to do?

Answer 4

I also had vista and it did the same thing. So i took the battery out and put it in again!

The best thing to do is to install XP. It doesn't happen anymore!

So try getting windows XP.

XP also supports more programs.

Answer 5

I know what you mean. Out of no where programs close and the screen freezes. I just press Alt Ctrl Delete to kill it too but sometimes it takes FOREVER to come out. It's annoying i know. Try cleaning out your computer and etc..

Answer 6

Well "Aaron", It might be because your system does not have the power (more like strength with Vista) to handle the load and just freezes. You might wanna call tech support with this problem or just downgrade (yes, that means giving up the biggest memory and resources hog since Windows 98) and giving back to XP, which would probably run alot faster on Vista hardware

Answer 7

Look Windows XP is much better then vista in many ways so l say that u get rid of vista and install XP cause XP is much better and easyer to use.

Answer 8

your computer needs a good registry clean, try googling a free registry cleaner
