My computer hangs (up) ?

Hi, everybody !

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 !

  • 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.
