Hello. The most common reason for freezing is memory related. In other words what programs you have running etc is utilizing most of or requiring more memory than you have available. Reduce the number of programs in your start up menu to only those absolutley needed. Try not to have too many things running or open at the same time. Or, have more memory installed. Your usage style may just be exceeding the memeory your laptop has - even with all of these things\nabove take care of. It can be other things but this is the usual cause. Freezing is the laptop's way of saying: I cannot do what you are asking ...Like trying to turn on all of the electric things in your home all at once....the circuit breaker blows...you reset it ...then turn everything in the house on again...the same thing will happen. Use a few things only at any time or upgrade your laptop's ability to handle more at once! I hope this is of assistance. Also overheating (due to utilizing the laptop in scuh a manner that it's vents are blocked -like on your blanket in bed or similiar) is the second most common reason for this....If it feels really hot then this could be the problem. Laptops are best used on a table where it can vent (cool itself) rather than on a "lap" ..... they should have called them something else! Take care & good luck.

t could be several things that cause your computer to reboot on its own. Here's a few to check out....\n\n1. It could be a virus. Do you have updated anti-virus software running on your computer? Do you notice anything unusual running on your PC?\n\n2. Your PC could be overheating. Does your PC have adequate ventilation? Does it have very little dust on the inside? Is the Processor getting too warm?\n\n3. It could be misconfigurations. Meaning your PC may be blue screening (without you seeing it). Windows XP is notorious for blue screening and rebooting right away before you even know what happened. Did you install something recently that could be uninstalled? Did you add a new hardware component that's not functioning properly?\n\nHope this helps out a little....

In cases like this either you have some hardware problem or a very major software issue. The reason windows reboots is to stop damage from occuring to your system. My advice would be either to identify what is causing the error. \n\nHave you recently installed any new software or made any configuration changes or installed a new hardware on your system. Undo those changes to see if the error occurs.  Also try starting windows in safe mode usually by presseing the F8 key when windows is booting and see if you can get windows operating system to load. I am not fully certain but with windows xp you can do a repair of the operating system with out having to fully re-install windows. What I am not sure of is whether this will delete your saved files or still keep them. Hope fully someone here can answer that  \n\nHope this helps

if it's freezing in normal mode and in safe mode it's fine then it means that there is a program or service ruining in normal mode that makes your computer freeze. what you can try to do is to disable some programs/services that you don't need to use right away. Go to Start/Run type msconfig  then go to startup tab and uncheck everything from there except video card drivers(usually if you have Nvidia). then also go to services tab, checkmark hide all microsoft services, then uncheck all non windows services. then restart your computer. If it works fine for 10 min, no freezing then you can do the same thing but enable few programs/services..after a couple of times you'll find the program that was causing the problem.\n\n\ngood luck

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

causes your laptop to completly reboot?! \n\nThat might be a diff problem. run spyware and virus scans with fully updated programs. Also, check to make sure you have all running updated drivers. Check the event log, right click My computer, click Manage, and go to event viewer. Check out the System part in the event viewer, see if there are any major errors. \n\ngl !

Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

It could be a couple of problems. It could be that the processor is overheating and you might need to get a new fan or reapply the thermal glue. It could be a bad power supply or power supply cable. I don't think it is a virus for the simple fact that even the deadly boot sector viruses show signs after it does POST. I would take it into a computer tech shop or the Geek Squad and find out what they say. Good luck.

Sometimes you can get your windows to restart by re-installing windows again. I've seen this kind of freeze up before and by re-installing windows I managed to get the computer to fully load so I could back up my information before formatting and re-installing windows from the beginning. You could try continuing after getting it to fully load but if there's a virus or something your AV can't find it will just happen again.
