It's driving me mad!!
Vista freezes our Laptop (Dell Inspiron 1501 1Gb PC-5300, Turion Cpu).
Initially the Laptop started getting quite hot, so I cleared the grill and fan inside and thought that would sort it. It has made no difference. So then I 'googled' about.
Ran CCCleaner to get rid of 'crap' and heal registries etc.
Defragmented.
Ran AVG and Adaware to clean it up.
Stopped any unnecssary services/processes at startup.
Also, I read something about Windows indexing being a hog on resources, so I went disable this and only the start menu is being indexed (which is advised).
I want to reinstall vista, but I need to burn/move/copy to flash, but If I can get the process to work it says 64 days for this to complete
btw safe mode seems fine.
Any ideas please?
