    « on: November 10, 2008, 03:34:39 AM »

    What are your computer specs?

    RAM
    Processor Speed
    Hard Drive Free Space
    Hard Drive Capacity
    Video Card
    Operating System

    Also, is this a recent problem, or a problem that has happened since you got the computer?

      Hmmm....There is once simple way which includes downloading a program called Everest.

      Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
      Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
      In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
      Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
      Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI

      However, to find the Hard Drive information, just Right Click your C Drive in My Computer and go to Properties.

        All right.

        Also, is this a recent problem, or a problem that has happened since you got the computer?

        One problem I can see is you have only 8% Disk Space free. Windows needs at least 15% free.

        You may want to look here as it may help you recover some space and speed up the computer:

          Since i did not use this computer right away it was used by another family member. Though ever since i got it (computer was couple years old) it always crashes, freezes, or doesn't even play High Spec video games. Right now Playing WoW works but almost always crashes at random times.

            After doing all that its still is crashing. I dont think its crashing because of performance issues. Are there any driver updates, codecs or whatever i can download to fix this?

              hey there Buntotman, i do not have a fix. but i can tell you i have a HP computer much like yours.  i used to crash a lot on when playing WoW.
              if it's the same crash i was getting (completely freezes, can't even bring up task manager), try this
