Is the laptop set to High Power mode or something similar, its in the power settings. I used to have that problem with my netbook and i set the powersettings to high and it fixed it.

It didn't fix it though, not really. You changed a setting that masked the symptoms.

If there's instability when using lower power states of your CPU that's a problem in my book.

Hi,

Sometimes your system might lack sufficient hard disk space which then results in frequent system freezes. In most of such cases, cookies, temp files and folders occupy a lot of the memory space on your system. In such cases, you must use Disk Cleanup to delete such unwanted files and data from your system and free up the disk space. This will not just remove unwanted information from your hard disk, but will also allow you to compress your Recycle Bin and old files. get more information and help........ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/a82a7321-a75e-408b-9458-e4549bbb6fd4/#cb36bb28-cc7c-412c-82b5-7a55f054fc30
