freezing

Let me first say that I am not an IT person so any help would be appreciated but please keep it basic. I run Windows 7 Home Premium and when I go to Facebook on one of two links that are in my favorites or on the favorites bar the computer locks and freezes. It then sorts itself out after about...

Lately, on occasion, I'll be typing and will move the cursor to a new line. I'll just type a sentence or two, look up, and the line is blank. Cursor is absent for a few seconds, then appears and all is fine. (due to disability, I can no longer type 80 wpm without looking at the keyboard. I...

First off, Hi :) I'm new here. My Problem: Yesterday my PC was working fine when I was using it for one of my classes. I shut it off when it was time to go and when I started it back up a few hours later. As soon as it got past the boot logo it went to BlueScreen and shut back off. Up until...

This is very hard to explain in words, but I'll give it a try. Basically, I can't play any games continuously without it freezing or crashing. HOWEVER, this is not a typical crash that you may be thinking of. Normally a crash is when the system cannot cope, and it ends the application's...

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop with a Logitech mouse and keyboard. Lately, they have started lagging bad (in games and just at desktop), and they will blink or have the lights on them go off completely. Trying different USB ports doesn't help. Rebooting makes it work for a few minutes. Just the...

Hi there folks and I just wanted to ask a question that has been pulling my hair out for the last months of Windows 8 being released. When Windows 8 was released I was eager to pay the £24.99 and buy it, so I did. Unfortunately though, there is one issue that is driving me crazy. This is slow...

Sorry if i put this in the wrong thread, as i have yet to pinpoint the cause as of yet. I'm having an issue where game would all of a sudden freeze up on me for no reason. It usually only happens maybe once a day after 6 straight hours of use. Now the unusual part is the manner in which it...
