My friend Jack's laptop freezes randomly.
The phenomenon has been lasted for a week.
He did a complete reload of Windows Vista, but the problem is still there.
The computer stay frozen while the it stays running in windows task manager.
If you are in the same panic as he does, well, antidotes are right here for you to fix your slow running computer.
It could be a heat issue.
If there are some section of the keyboard feel warmer than other areas before it started to get freezing, especially when you are running a bunch of applications, the right side of the keyboard would get unusually warm, the system would lock up randomly.
Accordingly, the battery of the freezing laptop should be checked first.
An overused battery can easily raise the temperature inside the computer.
All the while, you need to assure that all the vents are open and clear.
Because vents on a laptop are hard to recognize, not mention to spot all of them.
As the inside temperature reaches a certain threshold the laptop is bound to freeze or even shut down.
If your laptop still freezes after inserting a new battery and shipping more fans and even placing on cooling pad.
Here is what you are going to do.
First of all, you should reboot your computer.
Then, you can run tests for memory, hard drive, video card, mother board.
If this does not work out, you are supposed to reformat the hard drive and set back to default settings from manufacturer.
