It simply replaces needed operating system files.(missing Dlls, etc.) It takes several minutes to accomplish its work, however. Perhaps as long as twenty minutes.
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type SFC /scannow in the run command slot. (Note: there is a space after SFC and that's a FORWARD slash in the middle, there.)
4. Press OK button below on run command menu box..
It will ask for your operating system disc/CD. Put it in your CD-ROM, and let it work.
This tweak appears harmless, and unlike some other tweaks, doesn't seem likely to challenge your system. It may help you when doing a spaced sequence of those things one does in order to 'cover your bases,' like chkdsk, ipconfig /flushdns, disk defragmenter, Disk properties file check with recovery of bad sectors, Comchec, DISKPERF -N, unchecking unneeded services in msconfig Start tab, etc.
This may not substitute for a full system repair, reinstall, update, or upgrade, however.

Windows Freezes or Stops Responding All times
The problem could be caused by any of the below possibilities.
Software
Drivers
Operating System Error caused by viruses
Heat
Hardware Failure
Serious issue with Windows
If the computer frequently freezes or completely halts. An easy way to determine if your computer is in this situation is by pressing the Num Lock button on the keyboard and watching the Num Lock led to see if it turns off and/or on.
If you're able to get the light to turn off an on, press CTRL + ALT + DEL and attempt to end task the program.
Software Error
A computer locking up or freezing is often is caused by a software error. If you're encountering lockups when the computer is opening a particular program, make sure you have all the latest updates for that program. Find the latest updates for your software through the software developer or publisher or from their Websites.
Drivers Error
A computer lock up can also be caused by drivers. For example, if there is an error that exists with your video drivers a computer could lock up while playing a game or displaying any other type of video. Make sure you have the latest drivers for all major devices in your computer (video, sound, modem, and network). A listing of driver related pages as well as driver related help can be found on drivers homepage.
Operating System Errors
Make sure your operating system has all of the latest updates installed on it.
Heating Failure
If the computer processor is getting too hot it can cause the computer to freeze. If you have heard any abnormal noises coming from your computer recently such as a high squealing, this could indicate a fan may be failing in your computer.
You can first start by verifying the fan on the power supply is working by examining the back of the computer and seeing if the fan is moving and moving smoothly. For all other fans in the computer you will need to either open the computer and make sure the fan are working (processor fan and case fan) and/or if your BIOS monitors the RPM of the fans, enter BIOS and make sure the BIOS does not report any errors.
Users may also be able to determine how hot their computer is by onboard thermal sensors. If your computer comes equipped with these sensors, make sure your CPU is not running too hot.
Hardware Failure
In addition to software, hardware can also cause a pc to lock. If you have recently added any new hardware into the computer, try temporarily removing it to make sure it is not the cause of your issue.
Before attempting to remove any hardware, make sure you are not encountering this error because of hardware conflicts by viewing Device Manager for errors.
If you have not recently installed any new hardware into the computer, the next best solution to determining if this is a hardware failure would be remove any hardware on the computer that is not needed. For example, remove your modem, network card, sound card, and any other expansion cards that are not needed for the computer to operate. Run the computer without these cards to see if they are the cause of failure.
Note: When opening the computer, make sure you are aware of Electro Static Discharge and its potential dangers.
Serious Error with Windows
If you have tried all the above recommendations and the computer continues to frequently lock up, its possible that Windows may be seriously corrupted. Try running through the basic troubleshooting steps for your version of Windows by repair the windows. If this step do not resolve your error, I suggest you to backup all information that you need (from C:\ or from windows drive, ie windows installed drive, C:,D:)and erase and re-install Windows on your PC.
Hardware Failure
If after reinstalling your operating system, or during the installation of your operating system, your computer turns off abnormally, it is very likely that other hardware is failing in the computer. Often this is RAM, CPU, Motherboard, and/or Power Supply (in that order).
If you have extra available parts or have a friend or co-worker with a similar configuration that is willing to allow you to test their hardware in your computer, try swapping these parts to determine if they are at fault. Otherwise, you will need to have the computer serviced.

Safe Mode in Computer
While your computing is booting, you can instruct the computer to boot in 'safe mode'. Safe mode refers to secure mode. You may then ask, is our computer not secure when we boot normally. Let us see how is safe mode more secure than the normal booting.
When your computer gives problems and you want to identify where is the problem, then you can use the safe mode for this. In safe mode, only limited number of driver programs are enabled. Therefore you cannot use CD drive. You cannot use the printer. And many other unnecessary drivers are not enabled.
While in Safe Mode, you can use the ScanDisk, defrag and other utility programs to repair your computer. To bring the computer to safe mode. When Computer Turns on, you have to press the F8 key. You should press the F8 key before the windows screen appears. Then you can choose the safe mode option to boot.
Some Anti virus software will tell you that some viruses can only be removed in safe mode, therefore the antivirus software will automatically start in safe mode or you may have to goto safe mode and then run the virus removal utility to remove the virus.
