Okay so my personal computer is haveing some major issues right now. (am am currently using the family computer, which sucks, but not as bad as my computer does) So heres the problem it keeps freezing for no reasion! It just stops working and nothing helps except turning it off! It somtimes does it right as it starts up, other times it runs for an hour before doing it. I have upgraded my grapics card and just put in a new wireless card (it's a desktop with a wireless desktop card) The wonderfull people at best buy, where I got my grapics card said I shouldn't have to upgrade anything, but now I'm starting to wonder, it's been like this for the last month! I'm starting to go crazy. If I had the money I would just by a new one, butI don't. Anyway if anyone has any clue as to what might be wrong I would love to hear it, or if your fed up with your computer vent here, I understand your pain... lol

I'm sorry for Yuo problem... Anyway Why you've upgraded graphic card... Maybe this new Graphic card taking more resources..Anyway here is what can be Your problem... You have one big hard disk This can slowly Your PC. after You do many writting and deleting... This is always happen....Some people reinstaling Operating system each year.. Also It's possible that You've catch up something malicious from the net...But I doubt.. Hard disk maybe have some problem to operate... If Hard disk can't to operate Your PC will froze... Also if Your CPU is so hot same thing will happen.. To resolve Your problem You must find someone in Your area to fix Your PC... Well here is my suggestion what to do... First You must have instalation of OS Delete partitions... Make first Partition to have 10 Gb not more... Second partition will use rest of disk... Then format them and install Windows... And run defrag at least one per month... Anyway You can test Your hard disk, I don't know what hard disk You have... But You should go to the internet site of Your hard disk manufacter and see if they have diagnostic program for hard disk.. then save it on floppy disk and You can use it on Your pc...

The pc normally hangs due to the installation of failed hardware. You have got new graphics card and wireless desktop card. This is the problem you will have to remove and check the pc it runs fine without the cards and dosent hang up. Or the configuration in bios has to be changed according to the hardware. If the graphics card is the new and with higher watts it needs a high watts power supply . This may also be the reason. The best thing is remove the components and then run the pc for hours the problem will be diagonised. Or there is some loose connection between the hdd cable or the cable has got the problem so replace it. These are the general problem I have mentioned. Check it whether it works. I hope I am helpful. Tell me if this has worked Or I will again help you. Thanks and regards. Kunal, Inset Data Labs.
