To be helpful, we need to know more about your computer and connection. Brand, model, hard drive, memory, power supply, age, connection.
Computers can freeze from setup, spyware, defective memory, defective video graphics, defective or outdated drivers, power supplies or power adapters, dust or dirt or fiber in cooling channels or cpu fan, and a number of software install defects... so please tell us enough to give you some good speculation.

so please tell us enough to give you some good speculation.

Like what you are doing or trying to do when it freezes?
Like what operating system you are using?
Like is the internet connection lost when the system freezes?
Like do you get any kind of message on the screen when the system freezes?
Like does it restart again after a freeze?

That sort of information.

And to add to that, use the Event Viewer to see if there are any Errors that correspond to the times the system is freezing:

You don't need to include the lines of code in the box below the Description, if any.
Please do not copy the entire Event log.
