    what kind of laptop is it? can you fill in your system specs?

    I think what kword88 means is go to User CP (top of page) second choice down on left side Edit System Specs

    Edit: No disrespect meant kword

    More general details are required -

    What other Security Programs have you running? [ AV, Firewall, anti malware etc]

    Are your Security Programs updated regularly?

    Is Windows updated regularly?

    How long have you had these problems?

    Have you checked in Event Viewer to see what is listed that could provide clues as to what is going on?

    Have you a System Restore point prior to this problem occurring?

    Do you do regular Computer housework? [ defrag etc]

    What is
    your network set up ?

    Do you have an OS DVD to repair, or a backup to restore from?

    Have you had any BSOD's?


    Any further information you can give us might help.

    I only got AntiVir and yes, it is updated regulary.
    No Windows updates.
    The laptop is slow for few weeks now, as i previously said i had some problems - couldn't boot windows, got an error saying it can't read from hard disk press alt ctr del to restart, then did a clean instal of windows 7, it worked good for a day or so, then it got slow, couldn't come out of hybernation, couldn't boot properly, and now all this freezing.
    Got no sys restore point.
    Yes i do the computer housework sometimes, did alot of it when it got this buggy.
    Local area network
    Got a DVD but not here, it's at home where i'm gonna go in a week
    Had no BSODs
    I'm not familiar with event viewer, so i don't really know what you want me to show or tell you.
    Just did a memory check - it found nothing.

    Yes, did that. Thanks. It took forever, but it worked and normal boot did not freeze so far. It still works kind of slow and with temporar freeze ups.
