Continuous Freezes
Hey there, I've got a problem with my Windows 7 Home Premium..
I guess, I should start from the beginning. I have a VAIO VGN-NW150D laptop approximately 1 year old. It was sold with Vista, but Sony was nice enough to send me an upgrade to Win7. I've upgraded it right away, a year ago.
In the beginning of November'10 it started freezing. It mostly happens about 5-10 minutes after Windows boots up. I got a BSOD a couple of times, but mostly the system just didn't respond, and I had to force restart it.
What I did that time: RAM tests (no problems), Hard Drive test (no errors), system restore to an earlier time (kept on freezing), Antimalaware scan (nothing found), Antivirus scan - even made Kaspersky bootable flash for it (nothing found), checked for any hardware conflict (again nothing). After a couple of days of desperation, I've just restored the system to the factory settings (Vista), then updated it to Win7 again..
Till today everything has been working flawlessly (2 weeks), but the system started freezing again in the same manner (no BSOD). I've tryed everything listed above again, did the clean boot, but nothing helps..
I'm really desperate to fix my laptop since it's getting closer and closer to finals at university. Please, help me to figure out this problem, I can't keep on restoring the system to factory settings. Tell me if you need any other information or files I can provide.
Thank you.
