    How do I interogate this PC to get its specs?


    I've changed PCs. So the specs have changed. Its misbehaving so i need The forum to help me. So what PC specs do you want & how do i find the answers?? This PC is generic (not a factory Dell HP Acer etc).

    What exactly is happening?

    To get some of your your specifications, you can use programs like CPU-Z, HWiNFO or Speccy.

    I have another question in addition to what's happening with your computer: when you say you switched PCs, do you mean that absolutely everything is different? Or are there parts from the old one being used in the new one?

    I think it's too early to know what the culprit is. When you say it's freezing every 5 minutes, do you mean that it just freezes temporarily, or is it more permanent until you press the Reset button?

    Some hardware tests to run.


    Hard drive(s)test(s):
    Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.

    RAM (memory) test:
    This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
