I don't get it.. when my computer was downstairs, it worked perfectly fine. Then, my parents moved it up to my room because the room it was in was too mouldy. Now it has a freezing problem that is driving me crazy! For some reason (though it is a bit of a good thing), it only freezes with internet things connected to the internet. Like my MSN Messenger.. randomly freezes (though I think 95% of the time it freezes when I try to sign in) the computer.. I tried to download a game with a program.. froze the computer partway through.. the most annoying is that I never know what web pages would freeze the computer. It's random! Though there was this one page that I went into once.. and the next time I tried to go in, it froze the computer..
This is sooo weird! I'm telling ya, it can't be some malicious program or not enough space (though when dad installed more space, I could access this small social game which kept freezing the computer previously.. that was the only improvement) because nothing changed between when i had it downstairs and when i had it upstairs.
reseat the ram inside (or did your dad add more ram that might not be seated on all connections due to dust on contacts or 100% compatible with the pc of unknown model) also system restore it to the day it worked in start> all programs> accessories> system tools> system restore.
Open the browser and clear the temp files and cache. Exact method depends on which browser you use. In IE6, click Tools>Internet Options. Click General tab and look for buttons to Delete Cookies and Delete Files. When you click the "files" button, put check in "offline content" box on next screen and click ok.
How is this system connected to the internet? Same as it was downstairs? I wonder if there's a problem with the phone line, DSL, router, cable connection upstairs. Or maybe the WiFi signal isn't as good upstairs?
Downstairs it was wired.. when they moved it up, had to switch to wireless because my room's too small to have all that stuff attached to the computer.. gotta admit, this wireless is horrible.. lol
