That's not freezing! That's burning up!
This computer was old and shit even for 2009 standards. Floppy drive, IDE HDD and CD-ROM, a PCI modem, CPU looks to be a P4 socket 478. I'd say this PC was new somewhere around 2002, so well worn by the time 2009 rolled around.
I like how not only has the heatsink fallen off (which happened often with those early P4 plastic push pins). The little fan on the videocard is also disconnected. Not that a fan and such a tiny crappy heatsink would do much anyways.

That's how you turn on the quiet mode of the GPU.
Heatsink glue failed. common problem.
Never lost a cpu cooler. But I had a 6800GT shit itself because the fan died and got all melty. Was able to get a good enough replacement at a comp USA and it still worked.
Reminds of this one from around the same period:
those are just cap vents to let the angry ghosts out
Oof XFX too. ๐
Is this picture potato quality or is it just my end?
Yup. It's a potato. I've taken it with a Nokia E51 in 2009.
Like seeing a classic car in the wild

It's fine. The cooler just needed to go on a little walkabout.
