Hi,
I don't know what's causing my computer to completely freeze. I thought it
was Firefox because the computer would freeze when I was using that browser,
so I uninstalled the browser (I prefer IE8 anyway). Now when Chrome 1 came
out, I installed it and all was okay. No freezing or anything like that, but
now with Chrome 2, my computer is freezing like it did when I was using
Firefox.
Can anyone please let me know what might be causing this complete freeze up?
I'm running XP SP3 (fully updated), Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, 1 Gig of Ram,
OneCare. I'm not noticing high CPU levels or the hard drive going crazy. Just
out of nowhere, no warning: The mouse freezes, no Ctrl+Alt+Del. (When I put
my hand on the opening when the fan is, I can feel hot air coming out
though.) The only way I can gain access to the computer is my doing a hard
boot.
Is there a reason why Firefox and Chrome freeze my computer? Or is it
something in Windows that's not playing nice with either of those browsers
when they enter a version 2? LOL Chrome 1 did not freeze my computer but
Chrome 2 does?
Thanks.
