3D or 2D animations?

Limit the cache size of your download agent, it is talking too much memory, overloads and hang... Laughing

2D i don;t mean it hang when i am only downloading animations it will even hang when i just leave it and go elsewhere and moreover i had just reformat it=X

Sagara SG

you use bittorrent ?

My com hangs when i set the max no. of peers too high.

You mean you just leave the computer on and go somewhere else it will hang?

Try increasing your virtual memory, animations sometimes use so much memory that it can hang a computer.

Right click My Computer, select Properties.

Select the Advanced tab. Under Performance, click Settings.

A new window would pop up. Select the Advanced tab.

Under Virtual Memory, click Change. Change the initial value to something bigger.

After this, click Set. Apply the settings.

Take a look at your task manager. You can use either of these methods.

1st method:

Right click on your task bar, select Task Manager

2nd method:

Press Ctrl + Alt + Del simultaneously. Select Task Manager.

Look at the CPU column. Is any processes using near 100% of the resources? If yes, tell us which process it is. Don't kill it unless you know what to kill. If it's your Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) or Firefox (firefox.exe) or any other browsers, just right click on the process, and click End Process. Restart it.

Next, how much disk space is left? If you have 80GB and less than 5GB is available, it will cause frequent computer crashes. Try not to use the hibernate option too often, as it uses up disk space.

Try clearing all your temporary files.

Lastly, check for spywares, adwares and viruses.

To Mayi: my com hang at the stage where my mouse all cannot move,

What processor are you using?
any idea your internal casing temp?
how old is your com?

ShutterBug SG

The problem can be a simple as a clogged up heatsink fan (too much dust) - heat builds up and hangs processor.

Others are:

>> failing PSU
>> a leaking or swelling capacitor somewhere - can also be inside PSU
>> Failing graphic card
>> large bad sector in HDD

and lastly but not to be ruled out:

>> spyware, adwar or viruses

disable ur screensaver

Perhaps, you should disable Power Management as follows:

> under Display Properties, in Screen Saver tab, click Power
> go to Hibernate tab, and disable it

Your system probably couldn't recover after suspending to RAM, as such, yr RAM could be at fault, or your BIOS settings not proper.
