How do I interogate this PC to get its specs?

[AaLF]

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?

Run Belarc Advisor. It will give you all the info of your system.

If it`s new to you and giving you problems, I would simply re install windows.
