Hello there. I need help trying to solve a problem with my old computer. It's starting to constantly freeze when I'm running a couple of programs like Chrome or Skype or even a game on steam. I want to know how to fix it. I'd much rather get a new computer, but that's just not possible at the moment.

I agree with Mike, reinstall windows on a brand new ssd.

Your specs are quite confusing, a 111.8 GB motherboard ??

6.2 GB of memory ?

Please fill in your specs properly :)

haha I'll correct that when I can. I started the download. But, wait, if I uninstall Windows 7, what'll happen to all the files and programs that I installed?
