    Major PC problems, need anyones help.......

    My hard drive went out and I went to have a new one installed.I took out a memory stick out from another PC and the guy who installed my hard drive said that it would be compatible I got a new operating system delivered to my house because I had not kept the original disc. Anyway I then got a new dsl installed and after getting my new service finally going I am getting computer freezes. IN the middle of burning cds and while on the internet. I have virus protection galore as well as so called pc antifreezing programs. All I want to know is could it be that the added 256 memory(from a generic pc) to the already 512mb on my Compaq, cause my pc to freeze up? I also removed certain progams to to try and aliminate these probles and still no good I really need someones help...............

    There's a good chance that stick of memory is causing the problem. I would remove that stick of memory and see if the problem continues to occur.

      Took out the extra memory and still got freezing. I am starting to wonder about the new drive. The tech at Best Buy where I bought it from put it in.

          A PC that freezes often could mean 30 different things. I would take it back to the tech.

              It sounds like your issue is the memory stick... it might not be compatible with the mobo.

              And all you guys keep saying get a Mac... Macs are for people who don't know how to use a PC correctly.

                take out the memory stick, backup all your important data (you should have a separate HDD for important info anyway), format, and start from scratch.
