I'm afraid you are going to have to pony up the bucks and have it looked at.  Most programs do NOT clean up a freezing problem.  You could have a virus, a bad motherboard, or an old system that has just given up.  Some places can take care of it for less than $100.\n\nGood luck.

try using a HTML editor and updating your site\n\nyour problems is most likely to be fixed by deleting the cache (in case it got corrupted and is not loading the new page)

There could be hundreds of reasons why your computer freezes when you try opening video files. Your video files might be infected, it cannot find a program to play those files, or simply your computer is overloaded. \n\nRebooting always helps. Try rebooting your computer. If that doesn't help, try transfering a video file to a different computer.\n\nMost importantly, make sure that you have a media player (MS Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quicktime) that plays your video files.

download mozilla firefox from www.firefox.com or www.download.com it will fix the problem for sure. If it doesnt then it  must be your internet connection blocking the website from being accessed.

1) Check for spyware and run a system cleaner that will clear you internet cache etc. (see below)\n2) If problem persists, check internet security settings, you may have to lower the security.\n3) Alternative solution: Switch to Mozilla FireFox as it is a much better Web browser.

Try hitting Ctrl+Alt Del and checking your system resources. Select tasklist and look at your Processes Tab then look at what is using the most CPU. If you can see something rising to the top ie.90+% then that could be the cause. \nAnother reason could be that something is overheating and could be taking 20minutes to reach lockup.\nAlso try switching off yer firewall temporarily. Software such as Norton can be quite sore on your pc. I had this happen on a laptop recently and switched to mcAfee and problem resolved. Lockups however in this instance where for 3-4 sec then ok for 10 or so then lock up again.

What are you doing when it freezes?  Is it randomly, no matter what you're doing or even if the computer is idle?  If so, then I'd start suspecting a power supply.  A power supply that is getting flaky will supply inconsistent power, often causing a computer to freeze.\n\nIf it's during heavy usage, then I'd suspect RAM or lack of RAM.  \n\nAlso, make sure you defrag your hard drive, run a Disk check on the drive to make sure it's running properly.\n\nScan for Virus, and spyware..  Many of these types of items will cause freezes.\n\nCheck the interior of your PC to make sure your CPU fan and other fans are working, and that the heat sink is not full of dirt and lint.  An overheating processor will cause freezes, also.\n\nWant me to keep going?  Freezing up can be caused by so many factors that it's just not an easy thing to just say "This is it".\n\nStart with this list and the suggestions of the others, and you'll find it in time.\n\nGood Luck.

Just tried it myself. Same happened for me! Their web server must either be offline of have malfuctioned. I suggest trying it at a later date or try and contact the people who are hosting the web site to see what is wrong.

Hi,\n\nThis has happened to me a few times before in the past and I usually think nothing of it. Try refreshing the page and running basic diagnostics on your computer such as disk clean-up, defrag, virus scan etc. Then restart. Also you should make sure you have the latest version of Firefox availible. I also use Firefox and have this problem every once in awhile, maybe it is a bug. I don't think there is anything wrong with your computer though!

Sometime websites will (either by accident or by design)\nhave an insane amount of stuff going on with Javascript.\nYou might try turning off javascript before visiting\nthose pages to see if that doesn't relieve the problem.\n\nThe "catch" to doing this is that if you leave it off,\nsometimes you'll visit pages where *useful* things\naren't functional because they depend on it.

I get that too, I delete all IE and cookies and then restart and that usually fixes it.

Having your PC lock up every time you get on the Internet points to a problem with your TCP/IP stack or software that uses it. My guess would be that you've downloaded some malware of some sort. Could be a virus or spyware or adware... I bet some malware is activated when Internet Explorer starts and it is causing the lock up. \n\nYou get this stuff loaded onto your PC by accepting all the 'free' stuff that you see on many pages. Free search bars. Free downloads. Free screensavers, etc. Avoid that kind of stuff.\n\nYou can get a free scan with any of these products, but if bad stuff is found, you'll actually have to purchase it to enable the 'clean my PC' functions. \n\nGood luck!\n\nhttp://watersaffl.NOADWARE.hop.clickbank.net/\nhttp://watersaffl.TREKBLUE8.hop.clickbank.net/

Clear your browser cookies and offline pages. That should help. By the way restart your pc after that.
