This article deals with the things you can do to try and isolate or solve random freezing in Windows 7. The main focus is 64 bit systems but the principles can be applied to 32 bit machines as well. Freezing seems to be much more common in 64 bit systems. kadaitcha,cx supposes it is because a lot of 64-bit systems run large amounts of RAM and have misconfigured memory settings.
If you’re not a confident troubleshooter you may need to get professional support because fault-finding the cause of a freezing operating system can be both time-consuming and complex.
Sometimes a machine will freeze when a certain application is run, but uninstalling the application either only reduces the frequency of the freezing or does nothing to stop it at all. Your machine can run for days after uninstalling a suspect application, and just when you’ve convinced yourself you must’ve nailed the problem, it happens again.
The time needed to locate and fix a freeze can be frustrating because you should only attempt one troubleshooting fix at a time before trying to use the machine normally. If you don’t follow this rule you won’t know what the fix was and you’ll have to go through the whole process again the next time it happens.
