A list for you to check in order to have a good working computer...

1. is your computer up to date, including the level of service packs.
If this isn't the case, please do.

2. do you have any AV (anti-virus) program installed for the protection?
If not, I recommend one of the following: they are free.
Avast Home Free Edition:
http://download.CNET.com/avast-free-antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html

Scurity Microsoft Essentials:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

Note: choose only one. Do NOT install both.

3. did you regular maintenance for your computer?
If this isn't the case, here are a few to-do-list:
Disk Cleanup:

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry to hear that you are having these problems with your iMac. I'm sure we can help understand you what is happening, but we might need a little more detail about what exactly you see. What I understand, you're saying that your iMac's freezing at some point during the boot process and no answer or go further. is that correct? If you can describe the exact screen it freezes, as well as all the details (indicators of progress bars progress, messages or guests or spinning, etc.), which can be useful. You can find the following article useful to identify the different screens you see during the boot process:

  • My 'to-do bar' (the black belt at the bottom of the screen) became really wide. Can't fix. Help me!

    All of a sudden my 'to-do bar' (the black band at the bottom of the screen) became really wide.  It was 1/2 inch (or 1 centi meters), but now almost 2 inches wide (or 5 hundred meters). She takes down 1/4 of the screen! I must have hit some button to cause this?   How to make the 'taskbar' how it was (to make it close)?  Please help me.  Thank you in advance.

    http://www.blurtit.com/q324464.html

    To make smaller or larger, you can place the mouse cursor on the top edge of the taskbar. Make sure that the taskbar is unlocked by right-clicking on the taskbar and if you deselect the option "lock the taskbar". This will allow the bar tasks to move freely. The mouse cursor will change to 2 arrow keys. Click and hold the left mouse button while on the 2 arrows keys and make the mouse upward or down to increase or decrease the size of the taskbar respectively.

  • When you compose a new message with Thunderbird, the program freezes and says "not responding".

    Recently, I had to reset my 'computer work hand' factory default. Before that I erased everything that I saved addresses messages etc through Mozback, I then transferred all the Info for the laptop to see if it works, what it does.

    After that I have re-installed Thunderbird to my recently returned to zero computer, I used Mozback until the restoration of all the information in the game as it was previously.

    It worked fine for a day or so, recently I came across this problem:

    Thunderbird receives letters and I can read it, but when I try "compose new message", "answer" or "forward", a new box message opens ready typing in unless it freezes and it says not responding do not.

    I have it on my laptop and its works well so far, but I'm willing to work on the master computer.

    What should I do?

    When your issue has been resolved can mark this thread as "solved" Please?
    Thank you.

  • Trackpad of MacBook Pro gets stuck and the screen freezes with pink and yellow lines

    So I'm really frustrated. I got my Macbook pro less than a year ago and Ive already had to get a bunch of replaced parts. I got my computer fixed as 3-4 weeks ago and they had to replace a lot of things (can't remember not what it was, but they had to remove all of the computer and replace some things that have been associated with the battery power /). Recently my computer did this weird thing where the screen freezes and pixelated pink and yellow lines will take right on the screen. In addition, the trackpad will be just stuck and I have to turn off my computer and turn it back on so that everything works. Someone at - he heard about something like that? I thought that maybe when I had my computer repaired they didn't replace not all properly? I did a check of the hardware on my computer (self-control an Apple recommended prior to an appointment at the Genius Bar) and he said that everything was going well. This poll looks like a hardware problem? Could this be a virus? Someone hack into my computer? I don't know, I'm just worried and frustrated :/

    Thank you!

  • Satellite A105 - 1/3 of the screen freezes regularly

    I have a Satellite A105 and the lower part of the 1/3 of the screen freezes regularly, but the top 2/3 of the screen is perfectly fine.
    After pressing the lower part of the screen or the border around the bottom of the screen for a while, it will go back to normal.
    After the slightest movement, it will begin to go haywire again.
    I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a problem with the screen or would it be the inverter?

    The inverter provides simply for the backlight voltage, he can't knock out 1/3 of the image.

    The problem is more likely to be the Module LCD or LCD Cable screen.
