Recently, about a week ago my computer freezes for no reason at all. Of course all computers freeze/stop or crash once in a while, but my computer is now crashing every second. Here are the times when it has crashed, doesn't always crash but just saying.

*Loading up Internet explorer
*Typing in Microsoft word
*Using Photoshop

Does anyone know the cause of these crashes?

It's a bit difficult to tell, but search for, download and run SpyBot, AdAware and HijackThis ( www.hijackthis.de ). The last one might be the most useful, as it examines the processes that are running rather than searching for spyware, which might not be the cause of the problem.

Check the manufacturer's website and run a search for the type of computer you have and the problem you're having with it.

If Wong's things dont work, if you built your machine or its out of gurantee etc have a look inside, see if your graphics card fan or one or more case fans have stopped working causing it to overheat. If your CPU fan had stopped it would have cooked it .

plus i cant be held for responsible for anything that happens blah blah blah .

Hit del on startup and check your fan speeds in BIOS.
Once we had a PC's fans fail and we took off the case and just had a desktop fan blowing in to the side.
Check for viruses, spyware, remove unecessary junk on your computer etc.

If you've got a P4, I wouldn't worry too much about the case fans failing. Your computer would run so slowly you'd notice something's up.

Internet Explorer is the worst thing ever invented and it wouldn't surprise me if there was some spyware that automatically downloaded itself. You don't have Active Desktop enabled, do you?

Phizzy I had a radeon 9000 pro (ATi cards have the heatsink/fan glued on) fan fail and it still ran fine doing mundane things...as soon you ran a game or something like rendering the PC would fall over within about 3 minutes. Thats why im now a geforce user they run so cool and the fans are clipped on with doofrey thingys.

Plus i guess i should read whole posts.... Yeah i agree its probably spyware, get spybot search and destroy and adaware...

btw my case fans rpm is not shown in the BIOS as i wired them directly to 12 Volts .

I had a problem on my other pc when double clicked on something, the program would close before opening so nothing would work. Luckily i had adaware and spybot in the start menu. After running them both it works fine.
