If English is your primary language, you might try posting your
situation again in a more organized and grammatical format.

As it is, I - for one - find you unreadable.

If your computer is freezing the most common problem is a failing HD. Test
the HD to see if it is the problem then the memory. You can use TESTDISK
from the linux system rescue CD for a start.

Whilst your computer may feeze is it still frozen 30 minutes later?

Does the computer freeze booting to safe mode?

error

Disconnect all hardware except keyboard, mouse and monitor and then try
to boot.

If that doesn't work. Is your mouse and keyboard wired on wireless?

What is the cpmputer make and model?
