Mine freezes a lot. It'll be playing music, then suddenly it turns into this piercing buzzing noise and nothing works on it and I'll have to disconnect the battery and the power cord to get the stupid thing working again :/

I'm also having major problems with BSOD's when I'm starting it up from hibernation mode, as well as the CPU CONSTANTLY running at 100%.

Lesson learned: 1GB of RAM and Windows 7 do NOT mix:/
This. This is what happens to mine, but i've still yet to go and buy some more ram because i'm just lazy like that xD

Welcome to the wonderful world of netbook ownership. The battery lasts forever, because the processor is so under powered.

That being said, my netbook on occasion freezes, but I watch myself and don't run too many programs on it at once. My laptop on the other hand may only run at 1.5GHz, but it never freezes. Core 2 Duo FTW!!
I really need a new signature.

My netbook doesn't freeze at all. I'm using Ubuntu so that's no wonder.

My laptop does this weird thing where whenever it starts, it has a 70% chance of freezing soon forcing me to shut it off forcibly. But 30% of the time, it works fast and perfectly. That's why I stopped turning it off, I just put it in sleep mode when I'm done.
The more you learn about something, the more you realize just how much you don't know. I've shelved my more ambitious ideas in favor of smaller, more feasible projects and contributions. While I still have an ongoing project, and still intend to experiment with improving Gen 3's multiplayer, it's been much less stressful doing smaller things, like entries for Anthroyd's MAGM contests.

My laptop freezes every now or then, but there is a reason for it. One reason could be because I cracked the screen badly that I can only see on only half of the computer screen, the other is viruses.


:t354:TG
Similar thing happened to me, I can only see 3/4 of my screen after my laptop fell of my bed. My laptop just starting freezing this year, especially when I use Google Chrome. Apparently when the Skype Toolbar crashes, every other program I'm running need to freeze as well >_>

i have never had an instance of my laptop freezing, and im a power user if there ever was one. i run multiple applications simultaneously and run resource-hogging tasks like video encoding quite regularly. os x is just a highly efficient operating system.
someday, someone might just best me
but it won't be today, and it won't be you

I got a pair of older machines, an eMachine W3653 desktop with one of those ancient socket 775 LGA conroe core processors, and a slightly newer Dell Studio 1555 Laptop with a Core 2 Duo, neither one of them freezes up though, and i love to do a lot of RAM devouring things, games, video and music encoding, and the like. That desktop only has 2.5 GB of RAM to boot. My laptop has 4 and it still runs like i just bought it, despite the eject button not working anymore.
