What is it?
Means that the expected function of the computer or game has ceased to continue. It may return some time later. It can usually be resolved by restarting the computer.

Why is it so?
It is usually the result of an unexpected (for the computer) series of actions or events, particularly the cumulative effect of these actions.

What do I do?
If you computer is frozen usually just restart it (preferably using a software restart rather than a hardware restart). In online games, the function of the game is more likely to be the cause rather than the user's computer. In this case you need to wait until the game has fixed the problem (perhaps by restarting the game server).

Frozen
Written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

If I could melt your heart...

My Take: Okay, I like Madonna as much as the next person and even have forgiven her for changing her accent every week -- even still, I regard her as obscenely talented and skilled with her craft, and this little piece shows it.

However.

As good as it is, there exists a cover of this song; the cover, by Girls Under Glass, makes the Madonna version seem like wet, stringy lettuce because where the original has soothing vocals, the cover has angry boys with guitars. It creates a extreme contrast when you listen to them both together -- on one side you have Madonna's high vibrato and smooth notes.. and then on the other side you have GuG using voice harmonizers, persistant precussion and what amounts to "fierce" guitar work (whether it's real or sampled, though, is something I'm not sure) -- it like what you would expect if Rozz Williams got together with The Sisters of Mercy to cover it and then had Project Pitchfork remix it.

This is not to say the Madonna version is in anyw way bad because it's not, it's just saying that the cover is really, really good. But the lyrics are beautiful any way you like it, and so it really has something to offer anyone, depending on how you want to take it. With sugar or without.

Finland band Sentenced's 5th album, and a huge turning point in the bands sound. This album shows why their transformation from an average run of the mill death metal band, to their original brand of melodic depressed "pop metal" was a good thing. The Sentenced fan community firmly believes that this is the peak of their current musical careers, but Ville and the rest of Sentenced may surprise us yet.

From the albums opening song "Kaamos" a beautiful instrumental introducing the album as somewhat of an epic, through to the depressed meat of the album and then to a sorrowful fading instrumental to finish it off. Sentenced show off their truly magnificent song writing abilities in this album and Ville lets everyone know just how depressed he still is through his dark vocals, and his lyrics.

For song highlights, refer to the track listing, this is one of the best, easily digestible metal albums to date, and not one song on the album lets them down.
