Windows xp stops responding randomly

After installing the updates and patches, restart the computer again to make sure they are applied to the program successfully. Open the program again and verify if it works correctly. If it stops responding again, or there aren't any updates or patches, continue to the next section below. If you are only experiencing problems with one specific program, and all other programs work correctly, uninstall the program having the issue.

After uninstallation is complete, restart the computer, and then install the program again. Test the program again to see if it works correctly now. If the problem occurs with more than one program, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling each of the programs having the issue. However, the issue may not be the programs themselves, but something else wrong in Windows or with the computer hardware.

We suggest reviewing our general computer troubleshooting page for steps with troubleshooting Windows or hardware issues which could be causing programs to stop responding. Viruses or malware can cause problems with Windows programs, including causing them to stop responding.

Make sure you have an antivirus program installed on your computer, and that it is fully updated. Then, run a virus and malware scan to check if your computer is infected.

We also suggest installing the free Malwarebytes program to do an additional scan and removal of malware on your computer. If any viruses or malware were found and removed, restart your computer, then launch the program again to see if it works correctly now. Besuchen Sie die Website Dell.

Thanks in advance! You want us to identify the program that is stalling your system. It may be a badly written program. It may be a well written program that, say, needs to check a large amount of files or large files.

If there is "checking" or loading of programs in the Notification Tray, going on at startup watch the HDD LED and the freezes occur at startup, you are not giving the system enough time to do it's job. Either that, or you will need to restrict what programs run at startup. You say "random ", if it is not only at startup, what is happening in the background to cause it?

Two different computers, one of the programs you have installed is causing it. Maybe it is a clash of two programs running in the background. You do the "leg work" Do websearches and find out background information on the programs you have installed. It may be a program you have spent a lot of money on, that doesn't mean to say it works well. You should investigate background information on programs before you install them at least I do.
