Laptop Keeps Freezing
 

My Sony VGN-NR38E laptop keeps freezing after a few mins, so I have to keep restarting it.

Anyone know how I can sort this problem out?

Thanks

Does it actually get into Windows?
Is it shutting down and giving any error messages? Maybe overheating?

Can you get into safe mode and run Antivirus / Antispyware?

Yea I can get into windows fine. When it freezes I cant do anything - can't move pointer using touch pad etc.

I'm not getting any error messages and it's not overheating.

Open up Windows task manager once in Windows (ctrl + alt + del) and see if anything is hogging the CPU. Kill any unneccessary processes.
