you have too much on the hard drive. delete all things you don't need. make sure you're actually removing programs and not simpy deleting the desktop short cuts.

I don't think having too much on his hard drive would do this?

running to many programs could do this if the ram is low,

i would do a disk clean
then update my antivirus and anti spyware,then restart my pc in safe mode then do a full antivirus scan to see if i had a problem,

you could also do a prefetch clean,
click start then type in the run box prefetch then delete all that shows up,

do a defrag

The exact same thing has happened to me and also a few people I know. And every time, it was un-needed programs slowing down the PC and it freezes because it's not supposed to run so slowly.

Do you have a 266 or something?

I can safely say it won't be having too many programs. It will be a bit of Spyware, a virus or a dodgy bit of hardware.

Well if he deletes a few programs, he's more likely to get rid of the faulty one.
