Why does my Photoshop CS5 keep freezing?

Hi,
I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Lenovo ThinkPad S1 (8 GB ram) in Windows 8.1.
I really hope that somebody can help me with regards to this freezing issue that I'm experiencing, I have been using Photoshop CS5 for nearly 12 months and it's been great, having said that I'm in the process of designing some banners for my website but when I open up a file, the program crashes and displays a dialog box, saying "Photoshop has stopped working" or "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close, We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
What exactly do I have to do to resolve this issue?

You need to provide the crash details from your system's Event Viewer.

  • Why does my new iMac keep freezing for no apparent reason?

    Why does my new iMac keep freezing? This usually happens when it is not being used and is particularly frustrating when I do need to use it and ahve to switch off and then on again and wait for it to reboot.
    I am not computer literate so keep any answers as simple and idiot friendly as possible. I treat it like a car. If I put in the key and turn the ignition on and the enginesprings into life I am content. If not.............. well!

    In order to provide any help we need to understand a little bit more about the problem you are experiencing.
    You indicated the issue occurs when the sytem is not being used. Does this mean that you stop working on the system and the system 'goes to sleep' where the screen goes black, but when you need to wake it back up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse the system doesn't wake back up? To test for this issue open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver preferences. See the 'Computer Sleep' slider to the far right 'Never' setting. You can set the 'Display sleep' setting to any number you prefer. With these settings see if the issue still occurs and let us know the results. If it resolves the issue then give Apple a call and let them know you are unable to wake the system when it goes to sleep. You shouldn't be having that issue.

  • Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

    I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back.  The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing.  I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help.  Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

    Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
    Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

  • Why Does My Curve 9300 Keep Freezing

    Why does my BB Curve 9300 keep freezing? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The reason it's freezing all the time is you are out of application memory.
    I recommend installing BlackBerry Desktop Software and making a full backup of the device. Then do a Security Wipe. You can do the wipe by going to Options and type security wipe in the search bar. Don't include the media card but include 3rd party apps. You can install those again later via BBWorld.
    When it's done, you can restore only the databases you really need like email, calendar, contacts, etc.
    When you're all done make sure that media is saved to the media card. I recommend getting a much bigger card so you have room for pictures and videos. You don't want that data saved on the device memory.

  • Why does my Iphone 4 keep freezing up, Apps will close with out notice, and will randomly restart?

    I just got a used Iphone, and it keeps freezing every time I try to do anything. Every time I click on an app it will open for a second and then close right back out. It will randomly restart, and some times it will just freeze and the only way I can get it to turn off is to hold the home and power button. I have done factory restarts. I restarted the phone as a new iphone and still does the same thing. I havent downloaded any apps from the app store and have just left it completly stock and it still has the same issues. Any ideas?

    If you already try to restore via iTunes I think it is an hardware problem.
    You should contact apple support and request service.

  • Why does my iphone 4s keep freezing after downloading ios7?, why does my iphone 4s keep freezing after downloading ios7?

    my iphone4s keeps freezing immediately after downloading the ios7 update.
    has anyone else encountered this?
    will there be an update to fix this?
    what are people doing to solve this problem?

    Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

  • Why does my iPad air keep freezing, it's only 2 days old

    I have an iPad air that I was bought for Christmas. It keep freezing a few times a day, can anyone tell me if they have experienced this, what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this.

    It's not turning on at all, it turned off and won't respond to any buttons. I've tried to charge and all it does it turn on to the apple screen than turn back off, and does this the whole time while on the charger. I tried recoverying it through itunes also, and that didn't work either.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep freezing?

    my iphone keeps freezing nothing will work why is this happening?

    Clear the App from background memory, and then try it again.
    Do not use the faulty App.
    If this happens with all Apps, Restore iphone firmware with iTunes, when asked at end set up as New.
    If still problems could be faulty battery, which will be covered by Warranty.

  • Newly purchased Photoshop CS5 - keeps freezing and is unworkable

    I just recently ( in the past two weeks) bought the full student edition of Photoshop CS5. Since then it has problems with freezing where the program just stops responding and most of the time when that freezes it force quit wont work so in order to restart it and try to continue my work I have to restart my computer. So far I have only been using it to manipulate photos at a basic level. The size of the images are not that large (13in x 17in at 240 resolution). They dont have that many layers (less than 20 so far). I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no change. I changed it from opening in 64 bit to 32 bit and that changed nothing either.

    That sounds like you'd be running out of RAM and hitting the scratch disk a lot.
    Are you sure that Photoshop isn't just waiting for the scratch disk?
    How would I know if it is?

    Hello Ivory76
    Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPad freezing on you. It will go from dealing with apps not responding to the device not responding. You may need to restore your iPad as a new device and test it that way.
