Randomly Freezing....

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to fix a laptop that belongs to a friend of mine....I thought it would be a quick fix, but I've had no luck.
Sometimes it freezes up right away, sometimes it last as long as 15 minutes. But it does fine in Safe Mode. So i don't believe its a hardware issue....

Any Ideas?
Thank You!

 

Last night while in safe mode i did full scans with SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes', and CCleaner.
They didn't find anything. I also did a "SFC /scannow" and it said everything was fine.

When I started up windows normally i was able to do quick scans before it froze and they didn't find anything......

Any other programs i could try?
Thanks

 

Also all of this started after they bought an ipod and starting installing all the itunes stuff
