Myself I have wondered plenty of times why my laptop froze. There should be a place for these kinds of problems. This question basically allows us to share general troubleshooting techniques. | |

The existing one's are mainly kept for historical purposes, and there are some truly useful. However the SU audience is very wide, and these questions pop up quickly as ways to try and gain instant reputation. I often have to close duplicates because of this. | |
