Basically for the past week, on my laptop it just keeps locking up.
I have windows vista, basically i go on to internet/firefox, any program, it will work for a few minutes then it will freeze and say not responding, sometimes it will come back on after a few seconds, most of the time, the screen just freezes and theres nothing i can do but do a hard reboot.
This happens ALOT. the most ive been online on my laptop while this is going on it maybe 20 minutes at most, its really annoying.
Ive tried searching online but i cant seem to find anything that can help me.

I have Windows 7 and i had this problem for ages, turns out it was a virus, i hadn't scanned in two months.
Scan your virus protection, if that doesn't fix it, i don't know what it is.

run a virus (Use AVG, Avast or Avira There basically the only decent ones around now) And A malware scan with MalwareBytes. If that doesn't pull anything up we can only assume its hardware based. If the laptop is under warranty send it in. If not sign up for a pc/laptop enthusiast forum and ask the people on there about what could be causing it.
