    hey all, having a nightmare recently with my laptop!!

    started when I was leaving utorrent downloading, after bout 10-15mins it freezes and is unresponsive and then I cant even close it in the task list processes!!

    so I reinstalled that but with same result, then I tried limewire next and it started happening there too, soon after google chrome starting doing the same after 15-20mins, uninstalled that and went back to firefox but now its doing the same too...

    ive run error check, disk de-frag, spybot, ad-aware, malware bytes, and then anti-vir anti virus, all coming up with zip so im lost at the mo!!

    also tried to do a system restore back a week but it fails and cant complete!!

    any suggestions, im outta ideas??

    Sounds like one of either two possible problems. The computer is riddled with virus' which could be the case as im sure your not using limewire or utorrent to download legal media. Suggest running the pc in safemode and running a decent AV scanner like AVG.

    Other possible issue is a hdd on its way out, download hirens boot cd, boot from it and run one of the hdd tests (the one which makes the make of your HDD)
