What is the preferred way of saying that a computer freezes? 1. My computer hangs all too often 2. My computer hangs up all too often
(I'd just as soon use option #1, but I've come across version #2 a great many times and now I'm not clear on the matter and in doubt)
Thank you ever so much !

1.
My computer hangs all too often 2.
My computer hangs up all too often (I'd just as soon use option #1, but I've come across version #2 a great many times and now I'm not clear on the matter and in doubt) Both are OK.
When I used to be in the computer business years ago, we said that the program hung up , not the computer , but today people probably speak of the computer.
