    Freezing up

    gpu issue, if you have a spare try that and if the cards really old you could try oven baking the card, lots of 'How to's' on Youtube, it should bring it back to life.

    Help fixing laptop!

    if that doesn't work you may need to reflow the motherboard. the cheapest way is to oven bake it but there is no guarantee on how long it will last before needing to be done again.

    ide to sata adapter for Laptop.

    it depends on which pin is missing from the IDE side of the adapter and as the sata connections on the drive are not in the middle it may push the drive too far one way. depending on how much it is it maybe worth getting it to try

    ide to sata adapter for Laptop.

    but how will the ssd fit? if you connect the ide pins in then the sata connection will be too low to connect to the drive. If the connectors were inline in may work but they are offset

    i think you'll find that won't fit in a laptop too wide and also will make the ssd to high/low to go in
