Strange Computer Freezing

my pc freezes whenever i try to open up a folder on my desktop. can anyone help me out?

 

same happens to me, and all the icons on the desktop dissapear for a couple of seconds

 

How much ram do you guys have? and whats your processor?

 

format baby

 

how long have you waited?
if your running hella lot of stuff you might have to wait a while

 

Try going to start>all programs>startup and deleting some of those shortcuts and then restart. If you have to many programs starting at the same time it could be freezing your computers.

 

is there anything that yall are running that is computer intensive?

 

this even happens when no programs are up. my computer is pretty fast & i know its not a memory problem, seeing that it just happened one day.
