Slorgy Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hey, guys. My computer keeps crashing without warning, and I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas on how to fix it. Thanks! :sad02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 It could be anything, perhaps you can be more specific. Perhaps you got a virus, maybe there's a loose connection somewhere in your computer or a specific file missing to run windows. Crashing as in.. the blue screen of death or just power off?

Shane for Wax Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 It COULD be a virus at work. You might have a computer registry error as well. Every time you install or uninstall a new program, your registry entries in your registry are changed, and may not be restored to their original settings. Over time, the errors in the computer registry become overwhelming. The first effects you will experience on your computer are the slowing of processing speed, followed by frequent computer crashes. As a result of the crashes, the user will need to restart the computer frequently. But no matter how many times the computer is restarted, the root problems in the registry are not resolved, and the computer will still crash and run slow. One simple solution to this problem would be to buy a registry cleaner. They are effective software that are specially created to detect and repair errors and useless entries in the registry. If you can, open up the computer and check the capacitors on the motherboard... If they look like this: http://www.eventlogblog.com/blog/2008/01/18/Bad.jpg it's bad. Obviously. they should be flat. I can give better advice once I get specs and what your definition of crashing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Can you describe exactly what you mean by crashing? Is it locking up in Windows, blue screen, powering off, rebooting, etc? Any funny noises? Also, some information about your computer's specs would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Try to be more specific. It's hard for us to figure it out without you telling us more. For one thing, is your computer a Mac or PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbif Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 As with everyone else, we need more information to be able to help you. I'd recommend taking it to an ITS office somewhere. A local college, a library, somewhere like that. If you look around you can get free service help if it's not some huge issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I agree with dasbif. Unless you can give us more information, we can't help you. I suggest seeing a computer specialist. They could tell you the best possible method. Note that they might have to put in a new hard-drive, so save your stuff onto a flash drive before bringing it in.

neofan123 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe it is a registry or a WINDOWS file error. Reinstalling the OS can normally fix a fatal crash. F11 at startup(if your OS was preinstalled) or use the CD if you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I had a problem with the blue screen.. turns out the issue was just that my fan was clogged with dust and cat hair!! You have no idea how many times I reformatted, ran virus tests, installed various programs to find the virus, cleaned the registry.. etc. Check your fan! LOL I know it sounds dumb but trust me, it could save time! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
