Need help with laptop problem Anonymous 2017-07-09 12:03:33 Post No. 343721 [Report]

So, I've been wanting to redownload my games on my laptop from steam. Thing is, when I went to download the games, it would freeze my computer and I would have to restart it. I can still surf the web, go on discord and skype, but I can't download the games from steam without the whole thing freezing. Any help?

If you have another hard drive like an external or a large enough flash drive, download to that instead. If not, defrag your hard drive. (I'm assuming you don't have an SSD)
Steam preallocates the space it needs before downloading anything which could cause freezing on very slow hard drives, like those in laptops, because the hard drive can't seek for free space and seek for user requested files simultaneously.

Ok, and for some reason when I tried it again, it froze like it did, but my internet also went out as well.
