It would be helpful if you could tell us a little more information on your
computer.  Not knowing how much ram, operating system, cpu, motherboard,
etc. makes it more difficult to help you.  Two thing you might check are: 1.
How much free hard drive space you have available for your swap file,
providing you are using Windows as an operating system.  2.  Check your
resources.  If your resources are to low then that can cause freezes where
even the 3 finger salute will not help.
