What to do When Vista Freezes Up

So many of us have had this happen before:  we’re working merrily along and then BAM! vista freezes up!  This frustrating problem happens quite often and it’s maddening for it to happen on a computer that’s fairly new.  One common problem associated with “the blue screen of death,” as it’s called, involves running too many programs at once, eating up all available RAM and sending your computer into hiding.  The other issue could be registry errors, which are a bit complicated to deal with on your own, but certainly not impossible.  It’s at least worth a try to fix on your own before you send your machine off to be repaired.
