I have a Dell computer, about 8 months old,512 RAM-100gigs hard drive, and it has been doing stuff like that from day one. Just spent $200 on a new hard drive, and it helped a lot, but it still does it {freezes up} from time to time. Guess Dell computers are just cheap pieces of sh*t. Hope yours isn't a Dell. \nDe-fragmenting and disc cleaning helps, but isn't always the answer to the problem. Be sure to check for spyware. Spybot is a good spyware remover.

is it just the cursor that freezes or the whole computer \nie can you use your keyboard to use the computer \n\nif just the cursor then it is probably either your mouse is physically broken in some way ie loose wire in which case a new mouse is needed or your drivers are incorrectly installed\n\n\n\nif the whole computer freezes then you may have too many background programs running and taking up RAM the best way too fix this is too buy more ram or close programs using task manager \nyou could also have a virusif your whole computer is ceasing or maybe you just need  a defrag

Hmm.i do not think it is a problem with your hardware if it just freezes when you use Yahoo Mail...do not mess with your hardware over this. Try using another e-mail service like Hotmail or something and make sure you can surf the other sites on Internet....if yahoo still freezes your cmputer maybe you have a virus.

You might want to think about reformatting your hard drive and doing a fresh install of the operating system. This is usually a last resort after all other troubleshooting is done. If the install does not work then you might be looking at a hardware problem.

ah newbies :-)\n\nif you dont have anything valuable on your Disk, boot up your computer in Dos prompt or Comamnd Prompt or Safe made then open Command Prompt.\n\nWhen your in there run the command \n"Chkdsk" this will scan your C drive for errors.\n\nif it still doesnt work try "fdisk". Its another utility to help "seperate" them. \n\nIf your not comfortable playing around with your computer, start it up regualry, right click C: (or w/e hard drive) Properies tools, Check for Errors or something along those lines it should be under Defragmat. \n\nCheck "fix automatically" \nIt will say "its in use check disc next time the system rebbots"  click yes\n\nnow reboot, you can expect you computer to be doing this for at least an Hour.\n\ngood luck

Try doing a defrag on it.  Assuming you are using Windows XP,\n\nStart > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Defragmenter\n\nYou might also want to try uninstalling any programs or utilities that you don't need or use.  Also, try doing a disk cleanup.\n\nStart > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup

your hard disk might have developed some bad sectors, or there is some problem with your file system.\n\nRun a complete scan on your hard disk, it can solve your problem.

Hmm you might want to do a system restore. It sounds like you got a corrupted drive.\n\nTry going to START then RUN then type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the STARTUP tab. Then you might want to get rid of some startup programs thats conflicting with your computer that loads when your computer boots up. Try and download http://www.avast.com and do a scan on your computer to see whats wrong.\n\nAlso click on My computer and then right click on your C drive and choose the scan option and do a scan on your computer to see what errors might need fixing.\n\nThen just reboot and see if the errors stopped.

Under 98 & ME boot into safe mode (press F8 while booting to get there) and run scandisk from there. That way no background processes interfere. If it is 2000/XP going into My Comptuer, right click C:, Tools, Error Checking, check both boxes, say "Yes" to schedule for the next time you reboot, and reboot and walk away. If Scandisk continually freezes still I would consider replacing your drive before you lose everything.

Have you done the regular maintenance stuff? Delete temp files (disc cleanup) and defrag? I would do that first. \nThen I would do another check by going to my computer, right click on C drive, click on tools, then check error checking check now. It won't do it until you restart. If that does not fix your computer then I would do the system restore.\n\nI would also run a spyware program to make sure you are not full of cookies.\n\nGood luck!

your probably running to many programs all at once try closeing some running process....this may work and You need to get more memory go out spend some cash on some memory all you need is a cool 1 gig stick or 2 512mb and u should have no problems.... another thing u can try is to format your drive and start all over again with a fresh system but save your drivers this will save u a lot of time....

I did, but my computer just needed more memory installed.  Check if you have enough memory on your computer...if you are having it freeze up or move real slow, that might be what it is.  Good Luck.
