How do I stop my computer from freezing?
Computer freezing can result from limited RAM, malware, or outdated software.
Frequent freezing can indicate issues with memory, software, or hardware. Start by closing unused applications to free up RAM, especially if you’re running resource-heavy programs like video editors. Check for system updates and install them, as outdated software may conflict with newer applications. Run a malware scan using antivirus software, as malware often leads to slowdowns or freezing. Examine storage space, as full drives can cause performance issues; if your drive is near capacity, free up space by moving files or uninstalling unused programs. If you’ve recently added new hardware, ensure it’s compatible with your system and properly seated.
