Anyone have THIS problem accessing Facebook? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I cannot access EVERYTHING but facebook, and when I go there EVERYTHING freezes up, even my mouse won't move and I have to reboot the whole computer.

What could be causing this?

A Virus could cause that. Your CPU could be getting hot, maybe a weak or bad CPU fan. Or the CPU could be going bad. RAM could be locking up. My money would be on a virus. These are more common than anything else. Try to restore the system to an earlier time. If that doesn't work, go back to factory settings. But to reset the pc that way, you would have to back up all your files first. And if that doesn't work, it might be bad Hard Drive, or even something in the mother board. Good luck.

It's working fine now, but it was so weird, it only did it when I went to FB.

Okay. I was confused. I thought it was doing it all the time.

It was doing it for about an hour.
