Computer Problems [Solved]
Added 2018-10-26 14:12:04 +0000 UTCIt seems the issues I had back in late July are resurfacing - my computer will freeze or shut down randomly, and sometimes give four loud beeps and just sit there spinning its fans when I try to restart it. Cleaning the insides of dust was the solution last time, and it had been running fine since, but now it doesn't seem to help much.
Fortunately I bought a newer computer back in July, which I have been moving all my data over to. It's probably time to switch, but I'm going to try a few more things with the old one first.
Obviously this takes up a bunch of time.

Ok =)

2018-10-28 11:19:12 +0000 UTCMaybe add better parts, like a new graphic card, help speed stuff up

2018-10-27 22:50:04 +0000 UTCYeah, that's one thing I'm worried about happening eventually. So far it's been holding up though.

2018-10-27 22:47:30 +0000 UTCAh I know what this is...You need to go to your PROGRAM FILES FOLDER and then click on the WINDOWS folder, you'll see a folder called 'System32', this can become corrupt over time and not only slow down a computer but force it to freeze, re-boot etc. If you delete it you should be fine.
