In that case, if the version of virus infection is not confirmed, but the computer still freezes and randomly reboots, it is necessary to conduct consistent review of the hardware part.

Cause – faulty hardware

Begin testing the hardware with a study of the status RAM. For this free memory recorded in the item "Physical memory" task Manager" should not be less than 20% of the total volume. In that case, if free memory is less then you should increase the amount of RAM in the computer or constantly to ensure that unnecessary applications have been disabled.

Therefore, if your computer is faulty in the summer, it is likely that this is a consequence of overheating. For temperature monitoring you can use special software applications available on the Internet. These programs allow you to track the temperature changes in the main components of a computer.
