Tip 1: Why the computer hangs
The hang situation Computer Almost every user is familiar with it. Most often these are small hangs, slowing performance Computer and making the work on it uncomfortable. But there are also more serious situations when the computer completely freezes and stops responding to user actions.
Instructions
1
If the computer stays stuck afterSome time after turning on or after you run some "heavy" program, first check the serviceability of the cooler (the cooling fan of the processor). Even if it rotates, a thick layer of dust can accumulate on the fins of the radiator, preventing normal cooling of the processor. Clean the cooler with a spray of air or a brush.
2
If the hang Computer accompanied by the appearance of a blue screen and codeserror, first check the RAM. Perhaps the cause of the problem lies in poor contact: gently pull out the memory slots and wipe their contacts with an eraser, then put it back in place. If the problem persists after that, check the RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostic.
3
In the event that the computer is old enough,do a general cleaning. Disconnect all loops from the motherboard, hard drives and disk drives, remove the graphics card. If you are not sure that you can assemble the computer in reverse order, before drawing it out, draw the position of all the removed elements.
4
Thoroughly clean the system board, cooler,video card and other details from dust. Use a jet of air or a brush to do this. Wipe all contacts and reassemble the computer. If the cause of the hang was in poor contact in one of the connectors, the computer will start functioning normally.
5
If the "iron" Computer in the order, the cause of the hanging is to be found in the software. During a hang-up Computer run the "Task Manager" and evaluate the CPU load. If it is 100%, see which program consumes the main resources Computer.
6
To speed up the performance Computer disable unnecessary services: Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. A list of services that can be disabled is found on the Internet.
7
Check the virtual memory settings: Start - Control Panel - System - Performance - Options - Advanced - Virtual Memory. Perhaps for some reason virtual memory on your computer is disabled or incorrectly configured. Select the option "Size by system choice" and save the changes.
8
One of the reasons for the hang may be the presence ofcomputer malware. Check the anti-virus program and the relevance of the anti-virus database. If the antivirus does not find anything, install the program AnVir Task Manager. It allows you to conveniently view the list of processes, indicates the CPU load, the degree of danger of running programs, startup keys, the name of executable files, etc. With this program you can find and remove malicious software from the system.
9
Check the degree of disk fragmentation by runningthe utility of defragmentation: "Start" - "All programs" - "Standard" - "Service" - Disk defragmentation ". Select the disk, click the "Analysis" button. If the program shows that the disk needs defragmentation, execute it by clicking the "Defragmentation" button.
10
Remove all unnecessary programs from startup. To do this, run the msconfig utility: "Start" - "Run", enter msconfig and click OK. Select the "Startup" tab in the window that opens and uncheck the boxes that you do not want to start automatically.
11
Clean the registry by using the appropriate utility, for example, RegCleaner or Registry Mechanic. "Dirty" registry significantly slows down the download Computer.
12
In some cases, the cause of the hang Computer is hidden in damaged system files. The easiest way is to fix the problem by reinstalling the operating system in update mode. Insert the Windows distribution CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then run the installation. At the very beginning of the download, select the update mode. In this case, all programs and system settings are installed on the computer.
Tip 2: How to fix a computer crash
A hanging computer is a lot of inconvenience to users. There are several main reasons for slow work and hang Computer, namely: lack of RAM, overloaded with programs, autorun, crashes and incorrect operation of the operating system, viruses. Below these reasons are considered in more detail, as well as possible options for eliminating these problems.

1
Insufficient amount of RAM (RAM). Most clearly, the problem of small amounts of memory is manifested in the slow operation of the computer with the simultaneous operation of several programs or the launch of the latest, demanding computer resources, games. With the release of the latest operating systems (for example, Windows 7) and new software products, this problem has also become quite relevant. To solve it, install additional memory modules in the computer. First make sure that your motherboard supports this type of memory and there are free slots. In modern realities for normal operation you need at least 2 Gb of memory.
2
A large number of programs in startup. If at the start of the operating system many programs are loaded simultaneously, the computer will slow down and hang. Click Start - Run, and then type Msconfig. Then, on the "Startup" tab, uncheck the applications you do not need. This optimizes the performance of your computer and reduces the possibility of hangs.
3
Malicious programs (viruses, worms, trojans,etc.). Viruses can conspicuously consume computer resources. In addition, the presence of viruses on the computer threatens you with the loss of important files, in some cases - the theft of confidential information and other unpleasant consequences. Therefore, be sure to install a high-quality antivirus on your computer and periodically update its databases. It is necessary to take for a rule at least once a week to conduct a full scan for viruses of all drives of the computer.
4
Operating System Failures. Failures of the operating system can also cause slow work and hangs of the PC. Restore the system through Start-> All Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore. " If the recovery does not lead to positive results, in some cases it is easier to reinstall the operating system (with saving data).
Tip 3: Why the computer freezes and reboots
The most common causes of "hang" and restart the computer are infection by virus programs, operating system failures or insufficient memory.
The reason is the virus
To get started, you need to check your computer forpresence of viruses. Use the installed antivirus software and scan the entire computer. In the event that you doubt the effectiveness of the installed antivirus, it will not prevent you from reinstalling and applying a more reliable option. The rating of anti-virus programs is compiled annually, covers almost all the products that deserve attention and is published on the Internet. In the event that the version of the virus infection is not confirmed, but the computer still "hangs" and arbitrarily overloaded, then a sequential hardware check should be performed.The reason is a hardware failure
Begin the hardware test from the studythe state of RAM. For this purpose, the amount of free memory registered in the "Physical memory" of the "Task Manager" should not be less than 20% of the total volume. In the event that there is less free memory, then it is necessary to increase the amount of computer RAM or constantly monitor that unnecessary applications are disabled. Forced shutdown of processes is performed through the "Task Manager".The cause is a failure in the operating system
If there is no shortage of RAM andviruses, the hang-up effect and reboot can be caused by a failure in the operating system. You can fix the situation only by reinstalling or restoring it. Before starting the reinstallation or recovery, make sure that all information from the C drive has been saved to either external drives or to drive D. In addition, the most frequent causes of "hang-up" and rebooting cause such consequences may be a faulty power supply, defects in the components of the system unit , damage to the motherboard. Overheating of the processor or video card is a real scourge of modern computers and, in particular, laptops. Aspiration of manufacturers to compactness, turns out sensitivity of cars to external temperatures. Therefore, if your computer is defective in the summer, it is likely that this is a consequence of overheating. To monitor temperature conditions, you can use special software applications available on the Internet. Such programs allow you to track temperature changes on the main components of the computer. In this way, you can identify which hardware stress is the same as the hang and reboot. It can be very difficult to determine exactly what went wrong at these nodes. Therefore, most often they are changed to new ones. The best way out is to contact the service center to diagnose the problem and further repair the computer.Tip 4: Why the computer hangs while playing
The computer, like any technical device,has its own expiration date. If you squeeze all the juices out of your computer, it will soon lose the maximum functionality. So, for example, many users after several years of work notice that games or programs began to work worse, and the OS itself sometimes just hangs while passing the next level of your favorite shooter. What to do in this case?
The computer hangs during the game: what's the reason?
The main reasons for the so-called lags, orhangs there are only two: incorrect operation of the OS with this or that application, the game or the physical inability of the computer to process the game requests, that is, the discrepancy to the optimal technical requirements. Hangs in turn can also be divided into three types: - hang of the program (applications) - OS hangup - shutdown of the computer as a result of a physical failure ("blue screen of death", etc). Each type of problem is struggled in different ways. So, for example, in the case of the hang of the program itself (the game), most often it helps fixing the computer's bugs and cleaning the registry. Often the application may hang due to the incompatibility of the operating system and the game itself. However, the most common cause of application hangup can be called incorrect installation or damaged files of the archive itself with the game. Hanging OS during the game can occur as a result of the conflict of various system libraries that are used in the process. Hanging OS can also be connected with the problems in the operation of the hard disk, the detection of which is possible only in special service centers.Most of the time, games just hang becauseThe machines on which they run do not satisfy the parameters of the minimum technical requirements. Overheating of parts or inconsistencies in OS and games often result in hovering and braking.Computer shutdown or failurehardware parts are most often the result of physical wear of a particular part or its overheating. This happens most often when the application condition about the minimum technical requirements of the machine is not met, and the machine, in turn, does not have an acceptable cooling system.
Preventing the "health" OS as a way to get rid of hangs during the game
Often the hang of games or the application is due toin that the computer's RAM (RAM) is occupied by other applications not connected with the game process. In this case, you need to clean it by removing all unnecessary programs.To avoid problems during thegames you need to regularly clean the computer's registry and remove unnecessary programs from the list of "Autorun" - they load the computer's RAM, while for the most part are unused or useless in principle.
Tip 5: Why is the laptop hanging?
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, peoplesuch problems when their favorite laptop in the process of work begins to hang, slow down, and then completely shut down. How to find out why this is happening and how to cope with it?
Tip 6: Why does fallout 3 hang?
Fallout 3 - one of the most anticipated games. Unfortunately, after buying the game, some users could run into the hang of the game. They are associated with many different factors.
Fallout 3
Fallout 3 - the continuation of the once-sensational game. She was waiting for a very long time, and when she appeared on the shelves of stores, they began to buy up swiftly. Some users after the installation of the game encountered the hang of the game in various places (even if the game was run on modern computers). First of all, of course, you need to check whether your computer meets the minimum system requirements. If everything is in order, then the problem should be looked for in another, and if it does not, then it means only one thing - it's time to change the components of the personal computer. Also it should be said that if you have the Windows 7 operating system and if you have one multi-core processor, the game will certainly slow down and hang. Perhaps this problem is related to the optimization of the game itself for this operating system. First of all, it's best not to change anything in the game directories, but simply update the drivers for the video card and sound card. It is best to update DirectX, .NET Framework and XLiveRedist to the latest version. It is possible that even after these simple manipulations the game will work well, but in the event that it still continues to hang, you need to enter certain codes in a special game file.How to solve the problem with the hanging in Fallout 3?
To solve the problem, you need to find the file Fallout.ini. To do this, go to "My Documents", find the folder My Games and then the folder Fallout 3. It stores all user information about the game (settings, save, etc.). In the General section, the user needs to find the string bUseThreadedAI = 0, where the value "0" must be replaced by "1". In addition, in the same section you need to add another command - iNumHWThreads = 2. Then you need to save all changes. After these changes, the game will work stably and without hangs. Just in case, it's better to make a backup copy of the file Fallout.ini beforehand (it will be needed if something is done incorrectly). It is also worth remembering that if you did not purchase a licensed copy of the game and downloaded it, for example, on a torrent, then most likely the problem is directly related to the "improvements" of pirates who tried to bypass the protection system. Perhaps it should be known that pirated copies of the game do not always differ in their performance and can have many different shortcomings, including the hang of the game.Tip 7: Why a computer can hang
The computer can hang for various reasons. This can be caused either by the installed software or by the computer configuration itself. To solve the problem, it is necessary to determine the exact cause of the problem.

Instructions
1
In order to find out why your computerperiodically freezes, refer to its configuration. Open the properties of the computer and view the parameters of the frequency of the processor and RAM. Also open the settings for the video adapter. Make sure that you run those games and programs whose system requirements correspond to the capabilities of your computer.
2
Check to see if the background is not workingAny programs that require a certain amount of RAM to perform operations. Start the task manager (Alt + Ctrl + Del or Shift + Ctrl + Esc) and view the CPU load and the operational and virtual memory involved. Check the running applications and processes on the adjacent tabs. View the programs in the notification area that can work in the tray.
3
The computer can also hang on to otherfor example, the presence of viruses and malware, so update the anti-virus database and perform a full scan of the computer. In the list of checked items also include RAM and boot sectors. Delete the detected viruses and other security threats to your computer and restart it.
4
Pay attention to the work constantlyyou use in the work of applications. Many of them, for example, a browser or a player can take a lot of system resources when performing software updates, libraries, and so on. Also, many modern sites for their discovery require significant resources of operational and video memory.
5
If your computer hangs constantly,reinstall the operating system, install the updated versions of the drivers on the devices, download the optimization program and, if possible, update the configuration of your computer, because eventually you still have to do it.
