Computer lockup?

redwngr · January 21, 2022

Anybody else have troubles with their computer freezing while using this site?

This lockup/freeze has happened a bunch of times in the last week, maybe a little longer.

Won't respond, fans kick in and run on high (like it's working hard).

Only escape seems to be using the power switch. (Maybe I'm not patient enough.)

I regularly visit a bunch of other forums and this is the only place this occurs. (none of the others use the same software as this one).

Antivirus software has not popped up with an issue.

I have had this on and off also lagging really bad but my fans don't kick in. This site has had issues for some time took me 3 times to log in kept saying "opps something went wrong" I just know this site is bombarded with ads now, ad blocker plus does help but it can be a pain using for other sties.

Does get slow at times but so do all the other on line apps. Maybe just the internet getting overloaded at time with all the traffic and bandwidth used up because every one is at home on line because of Covid....

You can get a free testing program to check your PC for errors, they will run everything at 100% to check the system out.

Yes. Multiple computers, same freezing problem.

redwngr, try doing ctrl+alt+delete, that should get you to the task manager where you can exit the program when locked up, easier than a hard boot.

We have very good internet at this location.

This site is the only one that has these problems.

EDIT to add:

when this site running slow (or locking up) my computer/internet performance immediately returns after leaving this site and heading to another.
