ccleaner is what is used at work, so must be fairly good. I think I have tried it here at home as well. It did clear a bit of junk out & so far the pc is still working

It does :

CCleaner uses an advanced Registry Cleaner to check for problems and inconsistencies. It can check the following:

* File Extensions
* ActiveX Controls
* ClassIDs
* ProgIDs
* Uninstallers
* Shared DLLs
* Fonts
* Help File references
* Application Paths
* Icons
* Invalid Shortcuts and more...

CCleaner it is then!

We have it at work and it doesn't seem to do anything much... probably because of the massive firewalls we have

well i am fucking stuck and so fucked off with this computer at the moment in the past i have been able to sort these shit typ of problems out but this is messing with me big time ~x(

I never got any disks with my computer either Malgossno1
But if i set to factory settings all the programmes that were on it when i first got the computer come on as they are pre-installed on your hard drive - maybe this is the same for you

Just make sure anything on your hard drive such as music, videos and pictures are saved to an external hard drive before you reset your computer and make sure the external hard drive is switched off too

Are you using internet explorer or firefox? I used to use internet explorer & found that it would freeze up on me quite often, so I switched to firefox & it's much better

Excellent advice msprim , although I will say malgossno1 to be vey careful when you're doing that - you're obviously very frustrated atm and I wouldn't advise touching the damn thing, bull in a china shop and all that. Go and have a cuppa, think about it, and approach it logically and sensibly.

Don't mean to patronise you but the amount of stuff I've wiped off my drive because I've been raging is untrue... better to have a slow PC rather than none at all

And where the bloody hell is BB when you need him?

Right....

Freezing up - only seen this once with a mates pc. Sounds very similar - very slow & then locked up / turned off.
What was causing the problem on his one was some dodgy program running in the background causing the pc to work 100% and therefore overheating the pc.
He could barely get online before it turned itself off.
Now this may not be what's happening here, but it does sound very similar.

To test the CPUs load - press Control Alt Del & then click the Performance Tab.
On mine for eg (with a few progs running & few windows open) it's jumping between around 5 - 30%.
If your one is 100% and not shifting, then something running in the background is causing what's happening.

Next thing to try is boot up in safe mode & do that test again. Hopefully it will be ok.
You then need to get some cleaning up software to detect viruses / trojans / spyware as my guess is it's something like this causing it.

Could it be a possible dust or processor fan issue?

You never know...

My Internet keeps freezing every couple of days & Then i have to restart it to get back on!
What's all that about :-\ :-\ :-\

i think i have finally won the battle :ymparty: :ymparty:

thanks for everyones help

i recently downloaded windows explorer 8 and i have uninstalled it and upgraded AVG and that seems to of done the trick i think when i installed explorer 8 i didnt read the info and just clicked away i wont be doing that again thats for sure. it turns out you need a different version to run smoothly on vista and i downloaded the xp version, hence thats why it wouldnt run smoothly..

thanks again for everyones help
