    How to Fix and Prevent Computer Freezes

    Are you frustrated at how often your computer freezes? Do you want to fix these annoying and random PC freezes? Here are a couple of ways that you can fix and prevent CPU freezes.

    Fix And Prevent Computer Freezes By Defragmenting Your Hard Drive

    The Windows operating system places files and programs on a hard drive where there is space. Over time, a hard drive can be fragmented with hundreds of files broken up in many different locations, which can ultimately slow your computers performance and cause PC freezes. The process of defragmenting your hard drive places all parts of files together in one single space. This process will play an important role in preventing CPU freezes and speeding up your computer.

    Follow these steps to properly defragment your hard drive:
    1. Click the Start Button
    2. Select the All Programs icon
    3. Click the Accessories icon
    4. Click the System Tools icon
    5. Click the Disk Defragmentation icon
    6. Once the program is open, click the Analyze button - the program will analyze your hard drive

    Defragmenting your hard drive did not fix your PC freezes? Then there may be something seriously wrong with your Windows Registry(WR). 85% of most system freezes are associated with a damaged WR. In order to fix and prevent computer freezes, it is highly recommended to use a registry cleaner(RC).

    Fix And Prevent Computer Freezes With Registry Cleaners

    The WR acts as the brain behind your CPU and is a crucial component that controls all of your PC's applications and functions as well as contributes to your systems performance. The purpose of a RC is to help repair and fix all the errors that have accumulated throughout the years of use and restore your PC back to its original "out of box" state.
