Talk:Hang (computing)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That thing about "unstable electricity" seems a bit fluffy. There's no explanation or theory as to why and how an unstable electricity supply can cause a computer to hang.

True, but I would like someone to research this.. because I definitely have unstable electricity (monitor flickers and everything) and that might explain why my computer hung ALL the time (recently it's just plain broken).

Sound immensely dubious to me, I've removed it (and added some explanation as to why newer systems hang less). Dave 15:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Freeze?

I suggest that we move it to the common definition, Freeze. Marlith ^T/C 22:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fix the Freeze Ref

For me at least (Australia), hang is the more common term. In any case, this line needs to be fixed:

The term "hang" is synonymous with "freeze," the more commonly used term.

If that is so (I don't believe it to be, but not going to fight it), the article should be at freeze. Otherwise, the line should be removed.. as it is, it makes it seem like wikipedia's a bit unstable. Themania 10:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
