I have been having this problem over the last 3 days, and from what I can tell it has something to do with the latest windows updates conflicting with a driver on my system. If I restore to 3 days ago the problem goes away, but if I then update my computer from Microsoft the hang comes back. I am not having this problem on any of my other updated computers just this one.\nI have run it in IE6, IE7 and Firefox and the problem is the same. Still working on the problem if I work out what it is I will let you know here.\nUpdate \nI think I have found a solution, download and run the program called HijackThis that can be found here http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlog...  You will arrive at the tutorial page, once you run the program you are looking for any program that you don't recognise, remember to create a restore point before you do anything and fix the problems one at a time, the problem and solution can be found there.

Your processor is fast enough and you definetly have enough memory to run Windows XP, but maybe you're trying to run too many resource-hogging programs. Try to not open too many programs at once, so you don't overload your computer. If you don't open many programs, maybe there are spyware programs installed on your computer that hog resources away from your CPU. Try installing one of the anti-spyware programs listed on the site below and running a full scan on system:\nhttp://www.download.com/sort/3150-8022_4-0-1-4.html?\n\nAfter you've ran the scan, delete all the spyware, if any, that the program finds.\n\nIf none of the solutions above solve your problem, you need to describe at what istance your computer hangs (i.e what programs are you running? Did a certain program cause your computer to hang?).\n\n\nGood luck!

There`s a variety of reasons your firefox could be feezing. Most commonly it`s the extensions people download, but since you just installed it this shouldnt be the problem.\n\nWhen firefox freezes you should click control alt delete, click the task manager, and order by cpu use, to see which program is actually freezing. If it`s svhosts, dont blame firefox. See the (www.jimmyr.com/blog/Svhosts_100_memory_usage_slowing_down_computer89_2006.php svhosts crashing page).\n\nIf you have zone alarm or some other firewall, make sure firefox isnt blocked. That would obviously cause it to `hang` because the program freezes while it`s trying to connect to the internet but can`t.\n\nTry downloading an old version of firefox, search oldversion firefox on google. See if those work. Try another browser like avast or the new internet explorer beta 7.\n\nTry checking what`s connecting to your comp. start ->run->netstat -b.\n\nGood luck. It`s probably not firefox. It could be a number of things.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/yah/firefox_hanging_again_97_2006.php

Could be any of several problems. Clean all the cookies off the computer. Make sure your computer is set to accept cookies. Also get rid of all temporary internet files.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "hanged" and also don't know what operating system you are running.\n\nbut, I'll give it a shot....\n\nIf you have a few different applications open, and your computer seems to get stuck changing focus from one application to the next (it gets a white screen with the border of the application you are trying to open or leave from) then the issue is RAM.  You don't have enough.  There are some software programs that are RAM hogs. The more applications you have otpen the more RAM you really need.\n\nIf you are on Windows platform, on your desktop right click on your "my computer" icon and select "properties". Under the general tab, the last thing on the screen should be your RAM.  If it says anything less the 512 MB, you likely don't have enough for what you are running.  RAM is fairly inexpensive nowadays, and super easy to install.    \n\nAnother question is "how long have you had your computer"? Have you ever tried defragmenting it?  If your hard drive is virtually full, your computer is likely searching for empty sectors for available space.  Open up "my computer" and right click on "C:/" (your hard drive).  Select "properties" and "defragment". You can also select "check for errors"\n\nAnother question is "Is there a pattern of actions you do that make your computer hang? Does it usually happen when you are running certain applications?  It could be the RAM required for that application.  It could be interactions between that application and other processes on your computer, or it could be that a piece of software is full of bugs and is causing soft crashes.\n\nI hope that helps.

1) check for ventilation problems; CPUs (the core of your PC system) tend to get a lot of heat.\n2) if you have recently added new hardware (supposing you use Windows) go to "My PC(Right Mouse Click)Properties|Hardware|Device Manager", look for the new device, select its properties (again right button click, then Properties) and Disable it (there's a button just for that).\n\nIf those didn't work, then repost your question but explain you have checked for CPU temperature and new devices.\n\nHave a nice day without computer hangs!

what are you trying to do when you get this error?  It sounds like you don't have enough ram, or something is tying it up.  Check to see what unnecessary programs you have running in the background and then try again to do whatever it is that caused this error.

delete your temp files and cookies\nrun a spyware/adware check\nrun a virus scan

Run a Spyware scan, which is probably the number one reason for a slow computer these days.  The Yahoo toolbar has a good one, powered by Pest Patrol.  There are other free ones available at http://www.download.com/  The best two free ones IMO are Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.\n\nAfter you run one or more of these, also do a virus check, a disk defrag and other tweaks, and you should be back to normal.  If ALL ELSE fails, back up what you can, and reinstall Windows.  If that doesn't work, it's a hardware problem.\n\nGood luck!
