My Dell Inspiron laptop (3+ years old) is freezing constantly and I am out of ideas. Usually any problems I have I solve using System Restore feature and go back to a previous point in time. No such luck. I've downloaded some registry repairers and done scans with McAfee and AVG but those haven't helped either.
I can boot up windows normally about 35% of the time and then after using whatever program (typically Firefox which I've removed and reinstalled several times thinking it might be part of the problem) the computer totally freezes and cannot be put to sleep or shut down without holding the power button down. It doesn't matter which program I'm in or none at all - it always freezes after 5 to 10 minutes of use. The other 65% of the time when it won't boot, I get an error message and it does a disc check... And then boots and freezes...
Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to have to buy another laptop so soon... Otherwise look for my new thread "recommend me a laptop" coming soon to CAG. Dammit.
Thanks in advance for fixing my laptop!!!
