Hey. Try uninstalling your current antivirus with the special tool found at the following link. Then install MSE as a replacement. If you're using a torrented Windows copy, that may be the reason for the freezes as many of them are malware-ridden.

Sounds like it could be a heat issue. Try leaving the laptop on a desk with proper ventilation as opposed to on a bed or something, and see if the freezes occur like this.

If they still do, type msinfo32 in the start menu and hit enter. File | save on the screen that opens. Then rar or zip the saved file and attach to a post using the paperclip. There may be clues seen like this.

So has the machine locked up at all while testing on a solid surface with proper ventilation?

So what you're saying is that you did an "Upgrade" install on your HP notebook computer instead of a "Custom" or Clean install?

If so, a lot of users have been experiencing problems when doing that. A "Custom" or Clean install is the absolute best way to go. In addition, your computer will be faster and more responsive doing a fresh, clean install.

If you need help, let us know. Also, you'll need to download all the 64 bit drivers for your notebook model from the HP website and store them on a thumb flash drive or burn to a CD-RW disc.

You haven't posted the msinfo32 file yet, which could prove to be helpful to solving your issues.

From my post in the thread previously...

"Type msinfo32 in the start menu and hit enter. File | save on the screen that opens. Then rar or zip the saved file and attach to a post using the paperclip. There may be clues seen like this."

It shows me your services, problem devices, drivers and many other helpful clues where something may stand out and then I can advise.

You only copied and pasted what is on the opening page of msinfo32.

Instead, you need to click on file, then click save. It will create a file on the pc with all the info.

Then you can zip this saved file. In a new post, you can attach the zip to the post using the paperclip above where you type.
