computer freezes

When I try to burn a cd or watch a video my computer freezes. I tried to burn in nero and media plaer with the same result.

Swap out the cable for your CD/DVD drive, see if the problem persists. Plug the cable into a different controller port on the motherboard, see if the problem persists. Check for updated drivers from the drive manufacturer and install them.

Would wrong jumper settings on the drive cause something like this? Maybe it's just a bad drive?

Are you attempting to do both at the same time ? ?

Everything worked fine, the I got some viruses, cleaned them out and that is when the problem started. anytime I try to watch any video clip or burn a cd everything just freezes, keyboard, everything. Someone told me check my memory, I have 224MBs. I have no idea what that means....I can butcher an elk for ya but when it comes to this computer i'm lost.

It means how fast the programs can run.  It sounds that you need to get more for the system.

Mike,
I'm glad you're good with Elk and or deer...i may need your services sometime.
List as much as you can about this system including hardware, what version of Windows, how you went about cleaning it up and what else happened prior to this and someone will be along shortly...

You also need to do this, but today most systems have about 1 gb, but patio thinks it mite not be that yet so listen to him.
