Ok heres the problems and i hope someone here can help me with it.
Yesterday for no reason my my system started freexing up for no reason. I am
not getting any blue screen or anything everything just locks up. I restored
back to an earlier date last night and it seemed to help the problem but it
didn't. I have run the live care virus scan and cleanup scan and that hasnt
helped either and no virus's are found. Hope someone can help with this.

Freeze ups are often caused by excessive heat. Open your computer case and
blow out all of the dust. Pay particular attention to the heatsink and fan on
the CPU and video card or video chip. Check that all of the case fans are
working and the vents are clear.

you can test and compare
windows performance by
accessing the safe modes.

if windows doesn’t freeze
up in safe mode, then your
problem seems to be an
easy fix.

however, if the freeze also
occurs in safe mode, then
the problem is likely to be
related to hard ware or an
issue with the windows
core system files.
