My computer keeps freezing. It will freeze, then at the very top are the words ''Not Responding''.
I've ran my Anti-virus software, and nothing was found.

I agree with the above answers, but you might also want to determine if you are running too many programs all at once. Many of today's programs, and especially games, use a lot of RAM. Your computer can create virtual memory to allow it to run many progs all at once, but the more you are running, the slower your computer will be.
You can always increase your computer's memory by buying additional memory chips. Or try to turn off the programs that you don't really need. Sometimes I do CtrL-Alt-Delete or go to Start--Run and type services.msc and I manually shut off any programs I don't want. But that can be risky if you don't know what a program is doing, like a system program. In any case, if you don't use a program, shut it off.
You can try to clean up your disk also, throw out useless junk that is taking up memory and defragment the drives. That may not really help speed up your computer much, unless, for example, you are almost down to the bare minimum hard drive memory possible. Check by going to control panel.
Finally, are you sure your computer is running at optimal temperature? The CPU can get really hot and if a fan is underperforming, it will run hotter than normal, slowing down the CPU. Make sure the fan works, make sure the area beneath the laptop or behind the desktop is ventilated. If you have a laptop, you can buy a tablet that cools the laptop underneath. There is also a special silver compound paste that is applied to the CPU, it does a great job in dispersing heat. But these last options should be handled only by a professional, and only if you have CPU cooling issues. There is a program called Motherboard Monitor, designed for Pentiums, that tells you the CPU's temperature. Usually if you run many programs, the CPU will start to heat up, but if the fan is ok it can handle it.
