Computer Frozen?
I'll Get It Unstuck and Prevent It From Happening Again.

A computer that freezes regularly is telling you something is wrong. It could be insufficient RAM, a failing hard drive, overheating, a software conflict, or malware. I diagnose why it's freezing and fix the root cause so it stops.

Computer Frozen or Unresponsive FAQ

Why does my computer keep freezing?

Common causes: not enough RAM for what you're doing, failing hard drive, overheating, too many programs running, or outdated drivers. I find the specific cause.

Should I just turn off a frozen computer?

If it's truly locked up and won't respond to anything, holding the power button for 10 seconds is okay. But frequent hard shutdowns can damage your drive.

Can more RAM fix freezing?

If low RAM is the cause, yes. I check whether your RAM is the bottleneck and can install more on the spot if you need it (parts at cost).

How much does it cost to fix a freezing computer?

$10 up-front diagnostic (waived if you proceed with repair), $50/hr (1-hour minimum). Most freezing issues are resolved in 1-2 hours.
