How often does your computer freeze up on you?

I am sorry that it is/was not working well.

What laptop was it?

@TheHorse HP

@TheHorse I often have a lot of tabs open

That's pretty good. I wonder if I sometimes have too many browsers open.

@TheHorse too many windows open would allow cold air and frost to come in that's why it freezes so better close it.

Heh. I think I probably just have too many windows open at the same time.

@TheHorse I usually leave mine when I start it up and do something else. Once I'm in it's usually fine for the rest of the day.

That may be my problem as well.

@TheHorse No, but they would have if I hadn't had the protection plan on it.

Good to hear. Did Geek Squad charge you even when they couldn't figure it out?

Oh, I meant coal reboot. I build a small coal fire under my computer to keep it warm. Did you know that plastic melts?

@TheHorse Yes, plastic melts. Hope it unfreezed after melting

That may be my issue as well.

Mine is working OK since I did a cold reboot this morning.

Mine has been a good boy since this morning.

@TheHorse I hope it stays that way.

@xander6464 So far so good. I'm trying not to open up too many windows at once.

@TheHorse That's possible. Mine handles about twenty open tabs before it starts balking while playing YT videos at the same time.

Yeppers, still working. Maybe I just tend to open up too many browsers at once, taxing working memory. I dunno.

@DaddyEvil That's pretty good!

That's pretty much my strategy.

Glad to hear. I may try to do too many things at once.

@JudyEv That may be my issue. Tonight, things are running smoothly.

@TheHorse That could be the problem. I sometimes have a heap of windows open then start to worry about overloading the poor thing.

Could it be that I sometimes open too many browsers?

@DocAndersen Hmm.

@TheHorse that I would say is possible but not likely. it is more likely a bit of software you have installed that isn't doing what it is supposed to do. For example - you ask a child to please put blocks away. Every day they put the blocks away, but they always throw one in the trash. You let them, and collect the ones that are incorrectly stored. But on the last day the child can't play with the blocks they are all in the trash. your computer is the same as the child. it sometimes throws the blocks away not knowing it needs them later. then it reaches for that block, it isn't there and freezes.
