Ester, it is quite possible either your RAM (memory) or hard drive is failing. 8 Years for a computer is about 150 human years. I would seriously consider either buying a new computer or taking that one into the shop to see if they can do anything. But the money you’ll spend at the shop will be better spent toward a new computer. You can get a good PC for $500 these days.

I have a sony desktop vaio computer which is about 8 years old. Last year we loaded Macfee antivirus software. Recently my computer often froze while working on the Internet Explorer, the screen was either frozen or turned to blue with nothing on it. When it happened, I can only power off, then reboot. Sometimes, after rebooting it happened again. One other incident often occurred is from the Internet linked to Hotmail I got kicked out of the Internet, then I have to log on the Internet again. Is my computer too old to carry the load of the work? Please advise if any fix possible. Thanks.

My laptop started and crashed quite a few times before I remembered a tip from an IT friend; I grabbed an older laptop from storage and downloaded TDSSKILLER to a thumb drive. Booting up the ‘crashed’ computer with a Linux Live CD I ran the killer program, and a couple other antivirus suites for good measure and bingo! I was up and running again. Just for additional peace of mind I ran the antivirus programs again, and slammed on 2 spyware programs as well. Got myself a squeaky clean system now…..

Tap F8 when booting. Select Safe Mode. Once in Windows, try and determine what the problem is. If you recently installed something–remove it or try a system restore from the Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools area back to a date when it was working fine.

Sounds like a weak power supply cannot spin up two hard drive at the same time. Suggest a larger PSU.
