Now that i have the CPU working some other things it also freezes on other programs

On the Magic online application and also when trying to multitask with internet TV and mail programs.

Could it be my cooler ?

[Broni]

How about getting rid of Norton?

[Rayjinn]

How about getting rid of Norton?

Seriously ?

Why would norton freeze up my computer?

[patio]

Google "Norton problems" .....

You can always reinstall it, if it won't fix your problem.
