Windows XP video and audio freezes

pozman21 · 13-Feb-2009, 04:49 PM #1

Whenever I try to play video/audio on my hard drive or the internet, my computer freezes and have to restart. It doesn't freeze everything, just the video player or internet. But I always have to restart. I could still move my mouse, however I cannot open anything else till it unfreezes. Please help, it is extremely frustrating.

I have Windows XP SP3. What should I do?

You may have too many processes running at the same time or not enough RAM. How much RAM do you have?

It says I have 1.79 GHz, 896 MB of RAM.

I should tell you that I reformatted my computer about a month ago, and before that, everything was working fine. I don't know if that helps or not. Did something happen in that reformat process to make my video and audio freeze up?

You may have too many processes in the background running at the same time.
