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

Re: Laptop Keeps Freezing
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.

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