Problem: The mouse freezes and the screen seems to have come to halt and also keyboard does not respond as well.
This is generally a computer hang. Main reasons behind the PC hangs are:
Why Computer Hangs?
1 Overheating of processor / Motherboard. If the cooling fan is faulty, the processor gets heated up and ceases to work beyond a particular temperature.
2 Faulty hard disk drive.Hard disc problems also hangs the computers in case the important Operating System files needed to keep the computer running, become in-accessible.
Solutions : To Fix the PC hangs (computer hang problem),you need to follow two steps:
Step1: Check that the cooling fans on the processor is working properly or not. So ensure that the fan is working fine and is clean. If not, then get the fan replaced. Also check for the additional fans on your computer casing/cabinet(if any).
Step2: To Fix this, run a disk scan which checks for disc errors and fixes the bad sectors (some examples are scandisk and checkdisk utilities in windows). If there are bad sectors which can not be repaired, then you need to replace your hard disc.
Tip for enhanced performance: Once there are no bad sectors and the disc scan is complete, do a de-fragmentation of your hard disc partition(this may take long time), it will help the computer to access files easily and computer runs better(also fast in some cases).
These three steps will fix your computer hangs considerably.

My laptop HP Compaq is hung after I connected to internet today. The message on top left was “Internet Explorer (not responding). The end task window does not come on pressing ctrl-alt-delete keys. also the start icon does not respond which means I cannot use the restart option. So I had to use the shut down by keeping the power switch pressed for a few seconds.
On re switching on, it boots alright & all desktop icons appear but clicking the mouse on any of the icons is non responsive & so I cannot operate my laptop for any purpose.
Plz help
i was disappointed after format my Pc coz it was still hang even i changed heatsink… im also changed RAM but it was still not working, I rmved my fan n processor bt gets hang.still..What can i do???…;(.. how to check motherboard if it bad sectors
@Yarande
– Check your temperature @ BIOS, U’ve change your RAM and heatsink (Cpu cooler) then it should be fine, your problem only lies on your hard disk or vid card.. check their temperature use SPEEDFAN, check your cables.. it’s either a faulty HDD / VIDCARD or it’s your MOBO . T_T .
some reasons computer hangs, if your pc have a built in vga and you used it, the vga shares some capacity in the memory, most of it get the 64mb space, and the memory adjust the speed of bandwiths, the memory over clocking the speed and adjusting the page file, and resulting for a hang senario.
solution
before you open your pc reset youre cmos battery remove it from the slot then count for 10 seconds then put it back, these enables the default value of the dimm slot of the mother board to be prior readable then boot it up press f1 do not change the value of the bios just press f1 your computer will perform as its las good configuration
avoiding computer hangs
1. dont use a built in vga if youre trying to install a large amount of software, if your installing large amount of software add a video card compatible to the board.
2. buy a mother board that has a cmos reset if youre computer hangs turn it off and press cmos reset then boot it up again press f1 to continue then youll see the result
3. just always remember what board compatibility you have must be equal if your planning to add hardware. for example, if your board have a speed of a dimm memory slot of 400mhz
buy a memory equivalent of a speed of 400mhz. some board allow over clock but the stability is not quite short.
Thanks its help for clear interview round

Disable any firewall and check if it resolve your problem, If resolve then uninstall firewall and install again. Second and most probably your system may hang due to SMPS, change your SMPS. Third Check your Hard disk for bad sector using seagate HDD utility. Fourth, Change the Data cable M/B to HDD
