roar of hard disk and the computer freezes for a few seconds

My hard drive makes a sound whirring for a few weeks now and when I type in emails or messages like this, the computer freezes for a few seconds. Any ideas how to fix this?

A desktop computer. Your problem could be overheating.

You must remove the side panel right and remove dirt dust bunnies fans. Also, make sure that all the fans are working. Safety switch the computer off and pull the power cable before removing the side panel. You can then move the computer backon and check that the fans are working.

Then, turn off the computer and some time for that cool. It is best to use a wrist band, which you set on the casing of the computer to you the earth before touching anything inside the envelope. You can buy one in a store of computer accessories. Static electricity can damage a motherboard if you don't take precautions.

Then, you use a small brush to remove the sheep of dust around the fan on the processor. I used an electric razor, cleaning brush. I use an Air blower to clean the power supply fan. An air Duster is also useful fopr cleaning keyboards.

Removal of the dust bunnies should reduce the noise that makes your computer. It can also reduce overheating, which can lead to errors of Blue Screen of Death.

Another way to check the hard disk to see if it is overheating is to use HD Tune 2.55 (free):

  • Computer freezes for a few seconds

    My computer seems to freeze every 3-5 minutes for a few seconds (by what I can say, I can always communicate with things on the desktop, but nothing seems to move). I scanned my computer for malware (Nothing found) and my hard drive does not need to defragment.

    Why is this happening?

    I really appreciate the help.
    Curiously, just a simple reboot fixed it.

    Perhaps a task did not work properly and was playing with the GPU?
    :/

    In any case, thank you.

  • My computer lag / freezes for a few seconds then starts to work again and get pop ups, I have never before.

    For example, while I am typing my computer freezes for a few seconds and I can't type or will not move the mouse. This lasts a few seconds but then starts to work again ok. This happens on every 10 minutes or so... enough to get on my nerves, especially at the time of the school. How can I fix? I also get a pop-up whenever I go to a new page. How can I stop this as well? I'd be so grateful for any help on this matter.

    Thanks, Elsie

    Hello

    What the popup say or lead?

    Search for malware, and then run the cleaning as described below.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

    Hi guy,

    I think that it of difficult to say exactly why the screen / the game freezes for a few seconds during the game. There are too many different factors that can affect the game, laptop performance.

    For example the GPU performance can be clocked down due to a higher temperature or memory might be full and the data has be moved to the HARD disk using the paging file.
    Maybe the CPU's load a few seconds due to various processes that run in the background (anti-virus, etc.)
    Maybe its GPU driver problem. Who knows

    I think first of all you must disable all security and antivirus software that could run while you play a game. But do this only while game.
    You can also try to reduce the graphic details in the game settings.

    In my opinion, the picture freezes for a few seconds because the CPU starts a new background process. As far as I know similar problems occur if the use of processor performance is to 100%.

  • CC 2015 Multicam freezes for a few seconds each time I pass cameras

    I am modifying a project of 4 cameras multicam in 2015 CC and whenever I click on a camera or select a camera with the keyboard shortcuts, reading about all the cameras freezes for a few seconds, then starts again. Audio playback is not interrupted. Of course, this is a very frustrating issue because I didn't happen on other projects making, and it is impossible to cut quickly from the camera to the camera when I don't see what I am cutting. It should not be a performance issue because the media on the SSD internal and rendered and replacement with Cineform has no effect on the issue.

    Turned off the coast of GPU acceleration reading the parameters of the project and the problem has been resolved.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds, the cursor disappears for a split second and the clock freezes and restarts.

    Original title: OS time questions continuum (microfeezes)

    It seems that my computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds approximately. My cursor disappears for a split second, and because the clock freezes and restarts, it displays a worst time of the day. Audio and video have the same gel splitsecond. The problem persists in safe mode. Dell Inspiron 1520, servicepack2 of vista running. I've never had any problems with this machine. Here's a video I took of the number: http://youtu.be/fbUeK8U7wHw

    I would like to know if there is other info/specifications that could be useful.

    Thank you.

    Good,

    1:
    Updated the chipset drivers even though it said I was with the best.

    2:
    Run a SFC scan, which revealed no violations of integrity or files not repaired.

    3:
    five hours and 8 infected files later, my computer is totally cleaned.

    I opened the event viewer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are many changes to the machine because it began to act up, which were intended to correct the problem. I installed the Service Pack 1, then 2, scan MS Safety and new chipset.

    I also ran a memory diagnostic, but all was well.

    What should I look for in the event viewer? I know that the problem started in a 12 hour window. Should I save and post the logs at the time?

    There is a certain mystery. We need Sherlock Holmes.

    -UPDATE

    I have reset the system to its factory settings. Now, it's as if it were new.

    The problem persists. He still hiccupping. It freezes again for a few milliseconds about once per second. And I'm going crazy.

    UPDATE 2-

    The computer was closed for about 12 hours and when it restarted and Windows initialization complete, the problem disappeared. It works normally for a vintage computer 2007. I'll let you know if I learn more.

    Pf30 soul it records progressive, but puts it as interlaced on internal memory.

    Better is to implement a project of 30 p manually as elements are likely to be interpreted as 60i

    If so, you need to interpret all the clips in the assets of the project at 30 p.

    MXP mode means that it has been saved in 24 Mbit/s.
