| Ok, Well I have this computer here that my mom got from who knows where. We have had it for about 2 months and I have decided to hook it up test it out. (My other computer is getting old so I need a new one.) And, these are some things about this computer. Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP3 Version 2002 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz. 240 MB of RAM 37.2GB HD Only 10GB of the HD is used right now. When ever I have firefox open, and I open another program, it will ussaly freeze. And I ussaly have minamal programs open on my computer while im on it. Most of the times, programs will freeze on here to. I really dont know what to do. I was thinking rebooting the whole computer, But im not sure. Im only 15 :\ I also dont know what it takes to do that. Can someone/everyone please help me! :\ Thank You Very Much ,Brett aka Siouxpurman |

| 240MB of RAM? Way too low.

| Run your CPU-Z again and click on "mainboard." Let me know the manufacturer and model number. I will google it and we can go from there. |

| Also in CPU-Z, post the RAM spec you have in their respective slots. |

| A couple of questions to help narrow down the issue: 1.) Have you checked your PC for viruses/spyware?  2.) When did you computer start freezing? Was there an update to your hardware software prior to the problem you are experiencing? |
