Hey Everyone,
I'm helping my house mate (I just moved in with him this week) ask this question because he's not too good with forums and just not too great with Internet-related things in general. Anyway, he has Windows XP and his computer keeps on freezing at seemingly random times. Sometimes it would freeze right at the Windows loading screen, sometimes when he's browsing through his Windows folder, sometimes when he's surfing the Internet, sometimes right after Windows loads (right when his desktop comes into view).
Three days ago I installed Service Pack 2 on his computer (before I installed SP2, he had no service pack at all) and for about two days, the computer did not freeze even once. It usually freezes at random times - sometimes he could go on for days without it freezing, sometimes it freezes up to ten times in a row in a one-hour period.
Is there anything I can do to check out what's wrong or is there any way to fix this? Also, any idea why this computer keeps on doing that? It's a fairly new HP computer that he bought just about two years ago. I scanned his computer with Ad-Aware SE, Spybot, and HijackThis and everything seemed fine.
Thanks in advance,
