Windows 7 Freezes When Browsing The Web

Potential Solutions:​

1. Check System Resources:
   • Insufficient RAM might lead to freezes. Monitor your system resources using the Task Manager to ensure memory usage is within acceptable levels.
   []Browser Extensions:
   • Disable browser extensions/add-ons one by one to identify if a particular extension is causing the freezes.
   []Clear Browser Cache:
   • Clear the browsing history, cache, and cookies in your browsers to eliminate any corrupt temporary files.
   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed. Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the updated drivers.
   []Check for Malware:
   • Run a full antivirus scan to rule out any malware causing system instability.
   []Windows Updates:
   • Make sure your Windows 7 build is up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft. Update any pending patches or fixes.
   []System Stability:
   • Run Windows Memory Diagnostic to check the system’s memory for errors.
   • Check the system for any potential overheating issues.
   []Restore to Safe Mode:
   • Boot Windows into Safe Mode to identify if the freezes are related to third-party software or drivers. If the issue does not persist, it could be driver-related.
   []Event Viewer Logs:
   • Check Windows Event Viewer logs for any error messages or warnings that might indicate the cause of the system freezes.
   []Registry Cleanup:
   • Use a trusted tool to perform a registry cleanup to fix any invalid entries that could be causing system instability.
   []System File Checker:
   • Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run sfc /scannow to scan and repair any corrupted system files. Addressing these areas can help diagnose and potentially resolve the issue of system freezes when browsing on Windows 7 build 6801.
