    Software Troubleshooting<\/b><\/h2>\n

    A computer freezes due to a program exhibiting unruly behavior while it is loaded. The respective program can be gotten rid of via the <\/span>Task Manager<\/b>. Simply press <\/span>Ctrl<\/b> + <\/span>Shift<\/b> + <\/span>Esc<\/b> to launch the <\/span>Task Manager<\/b>. Select the <\/span>Performance<\/b> tab to monitor the amount of resources being taken up by programs currently in use.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If a program is taking up a huge amount of memory, chances are that the computer will freeze. Else, one of the corresponding values of a particular program regarding the <\/span>CPU<\/b> or <\/span>Disk<\/b> category could be extremely high, which could again lead to a freeze.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Note down that program and reboot the computer. Once you have successfully logged in, relaunch <\/span>Task Manager<\/b> and select the <\/span>Processes<\/b> tab. Sort the list by <\/span>CPU<\/b>, <\/span>Memory<\/b> or <\/span>Disk<\/b> (whichever was the highest value when the computer froze last time). Now notice which <\/span>Process<\/b> pops up to the top of the list as the computer freezes. You could then take measures to update or uninstall this program in order to prevent such situations from occurring in the future.<\/span>
