freezing problem T_T

[Destrus]

i used to leave my computer on for days at a time but shortly after i got back from break i started having a problem where if i leave it idle for sometimes 20 minutes (sometiems it takes longer) or more it freezes. i've been doing virus and spyware scans but can't find anything. it seems to run normally up until it freezes.

Omfg mine did that too D:

It used to run for days straight.

Now my processor gets overloaded if I'm doing like Fiesta, MSN, and then listening to music.

Computer freeze.

Computer die.

Then I just reboot and everything is randomly fine again... ><

my processor is always just fine, temperatures are always just fine, everything's always just fine but when i do nothing for too long it freezes D:.

oh except, i also can't seem to defragment. it stops at 10% analyzing no matter what ;_;

well, i think its because the ram buffer gets completely full. I mean I've got a really powerful computer but mine will do the same thing unless I clean out the ram buffer. I recommend running CCleaner to help alleviate the problem. It pretty much gets rids of all the extra junk you accumulate from the internet and such.
Hope this helps ^^

It could also be dust caked on your heatsink. Dust is an insulator so if your CPU's heatsink has a nice think layer of dust on it, its holding in more heat than its dispersing, which could explain why your cpu freezes when you start multitasking. Try running some canned air through it.

it doesn't freeze when i'm multitasking, it only freezes when i'm doing absolutely nothing for a long time. i can run as much as i want and it acts like normal. it stays at around 30C i think
