Startup The Frozen Computer

We have all experienced the same scenario: Your typing away working on that last

minute paper when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, your computer freezes up. Its always a shocking and annoying thing to have happen to you, and it always seems to happen at the last opportune time. So what can you do in this situation and what can you do to avoid it. Read on and hopefully you will learn a little something about avoiding this all too common problem.

The very first thing you should do to avoid the heartache associated with a frozen computer is to always make sure that you have the autosave feature on. We cannot stress enough how important it is to have this feature in place, because even though it doesnt always save 100% of the work that youve done it certainly will put you in a better place than if it was not on. For instance, lets say youve been sitting down writing a 10 page paper and the last time you saved the paper was while youre working on page three. If your computer crashes on you or stalls out there and easier going to be missing seven pages of information, whereas if you have autosave feature on may be it saved half way through page 10 or even on page nine. In my book losing only a page or half a page of work is far superior to losing multiple pages.

So now that you have autosave in place what to do in the event that your computer freezes on you and you cannot close the program in question? I will typically press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up the task manager. From there I will find the program and Im running and right click on it. This should bring up anotheror you can click something to the effect of Close process tree. This will quickly close down the program if it is stalled out.

So what can you do to avoid having a computer crash on you in the first place? I find that if you run fewer programs and keep whenever youre doing when youre open program reasonable in terms of the amount of work that youre putting into it, but I find that my computer stalls out on me far less. So to recap; the first thing to do is to have autosave on, the second thing to do is to limit processes, and the third thing to do is close the process tree if you cannot restart.
