There are a few basic ways to fix a slow computer or one that is freezing often:
1. Check for and remove any viruses.
2. Upgrade your RAM.
3. Get a faster HDD (either an SSD or a HD that spins faster).
4. Disable startup processes that are unneeded.
5. Defrag your hard drive.
6. If the problem is your processor (these days you need at least a 2 GHz processor with two, preferably four cores) then you can't really do anything other than get a new computer, at least for a laptop. If it a desktop you can try to get a better CPU installed, but otherwise you really should just get a new computer.
Those are a few basic ways.
