Computer Freezing

For the last few months, I have had problems with my computer freezing
randomly. I would be doing my homework or anything else and suddenly
it would just freeze. It sometimes occurs whether it be on for 1 or
more hours or being on for just 5 minutes. I tried following the
directions for this link:

But nothing works. I was wondering if anyone could look at the things
on the link and possibly figure out what might be causing this.

(P.S. I even used the AntiVirus Program Trend Micro AntiVirus, but it
didn't detect and virus or any malicious programs) :crybaby:

First thing to do, is check your Event Viewer for any errors.

lockups."

No, the most common cause by far is bad power supplies. Like, 95% or
better. -Dave

I'd also consider the possibility of overheating. Check the cpu fan, clean
out the case, maybe add a case fan, check that the power supply is blowing
hot air, check that the computer case is not in a hot environment like a
closed unit. One way to check on the latter is to put a cheap floor fan
(box fan) near the computer and blow air on the computer while in use. If
that keeps the computer rocking, then you know that it was overheating.
