First, thanks for taking the time to help me out with this problem. Okay so i have a HP laptop with windows Vista on it. The other day it all the sudden froze. So I had to hold the power button to reset it. It booted fine and once it was done I would click on something and it would freeze again. I couldnt even ctrl+alt+delete. I have button reset it multiple times. I then went into safe mode to do a virus and spyware scan and it froze in the middle of that. I have also done a system restor and memory error scan and none of it has worked.

I hope this is enough info.

Thank you

have you tried hp website

also try turning off your hibernate and sleep function(set to never)

I cant even get to the hibernate solution without a lockup and i went on the support site and found some possible solutions and one was a sfc scan but the nptebook lockedup in the middle of the scan. I can seem to do anything that wont cause the computer to freeze up.

Any Suggestions?

Please anyone? Still having the issues.

it could be freezing for any number of reasons:usually these

1. Software related issue.
2. Driver related issue.
3. Operating system related issue.
4. Heat related issue.
5. Hardware issue.
6. Serious issue with Windows
7. Hardware failure.

without knowing whats in your machine its hard to say.
try using the repair function on your vista install disc

What are some steps i can try before i have to bring it to a tech guy. I freezes roughly 10 minutes after boot up. Is there something i can do before it boots, like during boot stage.
