Good references to know why has my computers stopped responding me
- by Peterstone
Hello all!
I´m a windows xp user (but not for much time...) and I usually see how my computer stop of responding me.
The process is this:
Firsly it became totally stopped or very slow for certain periods of 5 minutes. How could I do?
After that it gets stopped (Even not totally because If I click on the bar I see a blinking response in the bar botton of the program I click on.
It´s could be anything related with security (like the firewall or some virus)?
Computer university: I usually experience this, using Matlab (R2007a) with System Generator (its respective compatible version)
My personal laptop: It´s usually works well but when stopped periods became to appears I know in not much time it will became totally stopped. I usually see how Word 2007 get stopped and after a while my windows xp gets stopped. (well I can access to the the manage task pressing ctr+alt and...). The only solution I see is to kill program by program...
My petition:
Please, I need good references that help me how to think in order to avoid or to manage the problems previously described. Does anyone know usefull books or articles?
