Hi, my computer crashed for no reason. I was surfing the wb while listening to some music and suddenly the whole computer froze and even the sound and then it rebooted. After that a message appeared that i didn't have enough disk space on drive C , there was 100MB. After that i manualy restarted the PC and after that there was even more free space on my system drive than before. Could someone please tell me why something like this would happen.

I had some problem with viruses before but i cleaned it with various antivrisu software and online scanners.
The last time i reinstalled Windows was years before.
 
you could have a program that slowly running up ur memory usage, that causes the swap file to grow on ur hard drive till it runs out of memory and crashes. hit cntr alt delt and start task manager then look under performance and see if ur free memory is slowly going down without u doing anything.
 


not sure then. could have just been a random thing. if it hasn't happened again Im not sure id worry about it to much. just make sure u create backups every so often(should always do this on any computer). if its reoccurring issue then im not sure what it would be. good luck
