Dear CNET members,
Happy Friday, folks! Every week we get a great deal of answers from our members to help one another solve tech questions. However, I do have a favor to ask from those who submit questions to be included in each week's newsletter Q&A: We need details, and lot of it! If you are submitting a question, please provide as much detailed information about your situation, such as computer make, tech specs, operating system, technical abilities, etc. The more specific details you can provide, the easier it is for our members to help you out. And if you see your question being presented, jump in the discussion thread and be a part of the conversation--we won't bite and we'd all love to hear from you directly, especially to follow up on what worked or didn't work. Now let see if we can help Harry with his Windows 7 system that just frequently freezes after it sits inactive for a while.
Well, Harry, a few details were left out in your question that could've come in handy for our members to help guide you in the right direction, but no worries, a whole lot of different recommendations were provided. After reading through the discussion thread, it seems that quite a few folks have run into this behavior as well, so you're not alone. As with this type of behavior, there can be a multitude of items that can cause this issue; it could stem from incompatible software, BIOS that need updating or setting change, a corrupt screensaver, or incorrect power management settings, just to name a few. We even got a few funny responses. |
