How to solve that your computer freezing after startup process?

If your computer starts up normally, but then has a problem once it has started, such as the screen freezing or it is running very slowly, there are a number of tricks you can try.

Restart your computer

This will solve many desktop and laptop problems. It's quick and easy so is always worth trying first. If your computer screen has frozen you can usually force a shut down by holding down the power button until the computer turns off, then start up your computer again.

If it won't turn off, you can force a complete shutdown - with a desktop PC by turning off the power at the mains and a laptop by removing and replacing the battery.

Backup your files

Even small problems, such as your computer running slowly, could be symptomatic of a bigger issue. To avoid losing important files and photos if the problem escalates, back up all your files.

Run computer security checks

If you think that your computer running slowly than previous time, it would happen by the virus or malware attack, so in this situation you have to run your security apps, and update them first and do scan. You can use an antivirus software and SuperAntispyware for malware, this anti malware apps free version is enough for you to remove spyware, malware, and other security threats.

Remove recently installed program

If your computer has problems just after you've installed a device or a software program – whether you've installed it from a disc or downloaded it from the internet - uninstall the last piece of software you put on your system. To do this safely and fully, go to the Windows Control Panel (accessed from your Start menu) and select 'Add or remove programs'. Once you've uninstalled the program, check for improvement. If everything's working OK again, you can try reinstalling.

Check for duplicate programs

Problem will arise if you have installed more than one version of an application. Check add remove program list in your control panel for duplicate program and uninstall all version of same application and reinstall one version of the application.

Do not use more than one antivirus program

If you are using more than one antivirus program on your computer this will cause to crash yours PC and slowdown your PC. For example if you are using Microsoft security essential with another antivirus like Norton or McAfee, this will slow down your computer by sluggish.

Check for and install Windows update

This will improve the performance and reliability of your computer. You can change update setting to check for update and install automatically, but if you like to check and install update manually. I think automatic update is easy and more security for your PC.

Make a system restore

This is a powerful and effective tool and will fix many PC problems by reverting your computer system to the last state in which it was working well. Go to Start> All Programs> Accessories> System tools> System restore or in Windows 7 just enter 'system restore' (no quotes) in the search box.

Once you are in the main window, if you have an available restore point the date will be highlighted in bold. Click that date and simply follow the step-by-step wizard that will take you through the process and will even restart the computer for you. If it has restored successfully you will get confirmation.

Conduct a system repair

You will need your original Windows operating system disc for this. Put your disc in the disc drive and restart your computer. When the computer turns on, you will see an on-screen menu with a number of options. Select the repair option - in Windows XP you do this is by pressing 'R'.

WARNING - DO NOT select the option to install Windows – if you do so and proceed with a full Windows installation, it will wipe your drive and re-install Windows from scratch. This will lose all of your data. Using the repair option will not affect your data, but to be on the safe side, back up your files before trying this method.

Bios-cmos-reset - How to reset the CMOS?

CMOS-Reset instructions for PC-Mainboards and Notebooks.

When should I reset the CMOS?

• Computer don't boot or freezes during boot process.

• No display in the startup process.

• BIOS-Error messages like "CMOS Checksum Error".

• Reset lost BIOS-Password (only PC -Mainboards).

• After making a BIOS-Update (recommendation by many PC-Mainboard manufacturers).

• After inserting a new BIOS-Chip.

There are of course other situations, but the above are by far the most common reasons to make a CMOS reset.

What is CMOS?

First of all: the CMOS is not the BIOS!
The CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) is a static Random Access Memory (SRAM), which stores the BIOS values. The CMOS will lost its data when removing the voltage/battery (CMOS-Battery, see picture). The duration for a complete loss of data could differs between some seconds, hours, or several days. So it usually won't help to remove the CMOS-Battery for a short time! For this reason, most of all PC-Mainboards have a jumper to immediately reset the CMOS. Notebooks don't have any jumper.

On which computers can i reset a BIOS-Password?

YES, on PC-Mainboards you can clear the BIOS-Boot password resp. BIOS-Setup password by resetting the CMOS.

NO, on Notebooks you can not clear the BIOS-Boot password resp. BIOS-Setup password by resetting the CMOS, because most of all notebooks have a better theft protection. They have an additional small, hidden IC which stores the password. That means: the password is not stored inside the CMOS! Other notebooks are able to store the password on a hidden hard disk sector. Your only chance is to contact the support of your notebook manufacturer. Depending on the manufacturer, you have to send him the serial number of the notebook and you'll get (in many cases free of charge) an individual master password to unlock the notebook. Some other manufacturers even offer only the replacement of the notebook's mainboard - which will be really expensive!

CMOS-Reset with Jumper

Most mainboard manufacturers have a download section on their websites where you can find the manual of your specific mainboard type. Inside the manual there should be a layout drawing which shows the jumper position.

Read the manual to find out how you can reset the CMOS! Because the procedure can be very different! For instance, most mainboards have to be completely dead, but there are others where you have to reset the CMOS when power is on.

In most cases you can find the jumper (green jumper cap, see picture) nearby the CMOS-Battery. There should be a label like JBAT1, RTCLR, CLRCMOS, CLRCMS, CMOS_CLEAR, Clear RTC, or similar

There are 4 different C MOS-Jumper types:

3-Pin CMOS-Jumper: The connector strip has 3 pins and the default jumper position is pins 1+2 (see picture). To reset the CMOS move the jumper cap to position pins 2+3.

2-Pin CMOS-Jumper: Depending on the default position, you have to remove or place the jumper.

Soldered points: Sometimes there is no connector strip and you'll only find 2 soldered points which must be bridged (e.g. with a paper clip) to reset the CMOS.

CMOS-Reset-Button: On newer mainboards you'll find different buttons for e.g. Power, Reset and CMOS Reset. The CMOS-Reset-Button works like a normal CMOS-Reset-Jumper.

Instruction: CMOS-Reset with Jumper

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord (on notebooks remove all accus).

2. Press the Power On/Off button (PC-Case) 3-5 times to discharge the mainboard condensers.

3. Remove the coin cell battery (CMOS battery).

4. Move the CMOS-Jumper to his clear-position (read your mainboard manual to find the jumper).

5. Wait ~ 15 seconds (the longer the better).

6. Move the CMOS-Jumper to his default position.

7. Insert the coin cell battery (CMOS battery).

8. Plug the power cord (on notebooks insert all accus).

9. Turn ON the computer, enter the BIOS-Setup and load the "Setup Defaults/Optimized Settings".

10. Save the BIOS settings and restart the computer.

11. No success? Repeat the steps 1-10.

Never turn on the mainboard during a CMOS-Reset! It could cause a short circuit which would damage your mainboard!

CMOS-Reset without Jumper

If your mainboard has no jumper (like most of all notebooks) to reset the CMOS, you can try to remove the CMOS-Battery for a few days and hope that this will clear the CMOS.

If you don't like to wait, you can try the following instructions, but as I said at your own risk.

Instruction: CMOS-Reset without Jumper

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord (on notebooks remove all accus).

2. Press the Power On/Off button (PC-Case) 3-5 times to discharge the mainboard condensers.

3. Remove the coin cell battery (CMOS battery).

4. Insert a 10 Euro Cent coin into the CMOS battery socket (or bridge the +/- contacts with a paperclip).

5. Wait ~ 15 seconds (the longer the better).

6. Remove the 10 Euro Cent coin (or the paperclip).

7. Insert the coin cell battery (CMOS battery).

8. Plug the power cord (on notebooks insert all accus).

9. Turn ON the computer, enter the BIOS-Setup and load the "Setup Defaults/Optimized Settings".

10. Save the BIOS settings and restart the computer.

11. No success? Repeat the steps 1-10.

Never turn on the mainboard during a CMOS-Reset!
It could cause a short circuit which would damage your mainboard!

CMOS-Reset did not solved the problem! What can i do?

First you should try the following:

1. Repeat the CMOS-Reset and increase the time to clear the CMOS from 15 seconds to a few minutes!

2. Check the voltage of your CMOS-Battery (~3V).

3. Remove all unnecessary additional hardware like e.g. TV-, Sound-, and Controller cards on your PC-Mainboard (not on Notebooks!). You only need CPU, RAM and Graphic adapter!

4. If you have more than 1 RAM module, remove the other (maybe one module is defective?).

5. Reset the Hardware table (DMI): the DMI (Desktop Management Interface) manages the integration of various hardware in a computer.

Sometimes the DMI data table gets corrupted and you could try to reset it. Remove the following hardware components:

RAM
Graphic adapter (on Desktop-PCs!)
all drives like Hard disk, CD, DVD, Floppy, (on Notebooks remove only the Hard disk!)
TV-, Sound-, and Controller cards, etc. (on Desktop-PCs!)
Power on the computer for ~ 30-60 seconds.
Power off the computer, insert all hardware components and restart the computer.

Note: if a working BIOS recognizes that some components are missed, the BIOS automatically scans for new hardware and refreshes the DMI hardware table.

Nothing works?
1. Check all cable connections.
2. Check all components and remove any existing dirt.
3. Replace CPU, Graphic adapter and the Power Supply Unit. Or use a second PC to check these components.
4. Check all Electrolytic Condensers.

An electrolytic condenser is a cylindrical electronic component that stores electricity. The cylinder is mostly green, blue or black, and has a pressed aluminum cover.

On older mainboards, it often happened, that the condensers get faulty. In most cases you can identify a defective condenser, when fluid leaked out of the cover, or when the cylinder itself is arched.

How to Speed Up Your Computer?

Fix your slow computer:

Below are steps for Microsoft Windows users that should help speed up the computer or determine why the computer is running slow.

Background programs

One of the most common reasons for a slow computer are programs running in the background. Remove or disable any startup programs that automatically start each time the computer boots.

Tip: To see what programs are running in the background and how much memory and CPU they are using open Task Manager. If you are running Windows 7 or higher run Resmon to get a better understanding of how your computer is being used.

If you've got an antivirus scanner on the computer, spyware protection program, or other security utility make sure it's not scanning your computer in the background. If a scan is in progress it can decrease the overall performance of your computer.

Free hard drive space

Verify that there is at least 200-500MB of free hard drive space. This available space allows the computer to have room for the swap file to increase in size as well as room for temporary files.

Bad, corrupted or fragmented hard drive

Run Scandisk, Chkdsk, or something equivalent to verify there is nothing physically wrong with the computer hard drive. Run Defrag to help ensure that data is arranged in the best possible order.

Update Windows

Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates installed in the computer. If you are on the Internet when your computer is slow also make sure all browser plugins are up-to-date.

Update your drivers

Make sure you've got the latest drivers for your computer, especially the latest video drivers. Having out-of-date drivers can cause an assortment of issues.

Memory upgrade

If you've had your computer for more than two years it's likely you're computer is not meeting the memory requirements for today. Today, we suggest a minimum of 1GB of memory (RAM). By having enough memory for programs to run within memory your computer will not need to swap information stored within memory to the swap file. If your computer hard drive light is constantly active, its a good indication of your computer is swapping information between your memory and hard drive because of the lack of space in memory.

Run registry cleaner

We normally do not recommend registry cleaners. However, if you have followed all of the above steps and your computer is still slow try running a registry cleaner on the computer.

Computer or processor is overheating

Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating. Excessive heat can cause a significant decrease in computer performance since most processors automatically step the speed of the processor down to help compensate compensate for the heat related issues.

Erase computer and start over:

If none of the above solutions resolve your issues, it is recommended that you either reinstall Windows or erase everything and then start over.

Old computer

If your computer is older than five years come to terms that it is likely the age of the computer that is causing it to be slow. Computers progress at an alarming rate as new programs and updates for programs come out their minimum requirements increase and will cause older computers to slow down. If your computer is older than five years we suggest purchasing a new computer or just realize after following the above steps it is going to run slower than a newer computer.

Hardware issues

Finally, if your computer continues to be slower than normal after going over each of the above recommendations (including erasing and starting over) it's possible that your computer is experiencing a more serious hardware related issue such as a failing component in the computer. This could be a failing or bad hard drive, CPU, RAM, motherboard, or other component.

How to clean your laptop?

Unfortunately, unlike the standard desktop, a laptop is not as easy to open and clean. However, there are still several steps an end-user can do to clean and maintain their laptop or portable device.

Before cleaning any computer, we suggest the computer first be turned off and unplugged. Also, because you're going to be cleaning the laptop, we also suggest you removing the laptop battery.

Cleaning laptop case

Cleaning the exterior portion of the laptop case can help keep the laptop looking new. The exterior case of a laptop can be cleaned by using a damp cotton cloth that has been dampened with water. It is not recommended that the exterior case of the laptop be cleaned with household cleaning solutions. However, if there is a substance on the laptop that cannot be cleaned with water, we suggest using rubbing alcohol.

Cleaning case openings

If dust, dirt, hair, or other substances are in the case openings, it can prevent air from getting into or out of the laptop. This can cause the overall heat of the laptop to increase, and in some cases may also cause such issues as random reboots.
Look for laptop openings where the laptop draws in cool air from outside or blows out any hot air from the inside of the laptop. These openings are usually on one of the sides, the back, or the bottom of the laptop. Dust, dirt, hair, or other substances can almost always be removed using a cotton swab or compressed air.

Caution: If you're using compressed air to clean the openings that have fans within them, it's possible that the amount of air blown on the fans can cause them to over spin, damaging or destroying the fan. To help prevent this issue, place something in-between the fan blades, such as a toothpick.

Cleaning laptop keyboard

Like almost everything else on a laptop, a keyboard is also different from the standard computer keyboard. With many laptop keyboards the keys cannot be completely removed. Therefore, we suggest cleaning the keyboard by using the same damp cloth you used to clean the exterior case of the laptop. In addition, compressed air can be used to spray any dust, dirt, or hair from in-between the keys.

If you've spilt something onto the laptop keyboard (like a soda) that's causing the keys to stick and cleaning it does not help we suggest that you have the laptop repaired since the keyboard cannot be replaced.

Cleaning laptop mouse (touchpad) 

Cleaning the laptop touchpad can help improve the look of the laptop and also many times will help improve the responsiveness of the touchpad. To clean the touchpad surface, use the same damp cloth used to clean the exterior of the laptop.

Cleaning the LCD
Wipe the dust off with a dry cloth.  Do not apply too much pressure to the screen. Make sure to use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth to wipe. A large cloth is best, since it will help to reduce the risk of leaving streaks across the screen from finger pressure.

Suggested non-abrasive cloths: (Microfiber,Cotton T-shirt, Cotton handkerchief, Cotton tea towel)

Avoid the following, as they are too abrasive: (Paper towels, Dish towels, Facial tissue)

Cleaning internal laptop components.

Cleaning the inside of a laptop computer can be a difficult task. However, in some situations, it may be necessary because of excessive dust and dirt buildup within the computer, such as on the processor's heatsink.
Unfortunately, however, because of the complexity often involved in disassembling the laptop to reach many of these areas, We cannot provide this information online for every laptop ever made. If you believe after cleaning your computer that it is still overheating because of dust and dirt buildup, we suggest taking the laptop to an authorized repair center.
