Bump, still happening

overheating?

You obviously have a virus.

The process of stopping is slightly different between laptop and desktop, but enough to tell what's happening. Get a better firewall and possibly Norton antivirus .. Take them off and activate your firewall ..

That's most likely the reason it's stopping .. :]

Overheating or you got a virus....
Formate plox..
Or Virus scan.

Pull out internet cable/wireless adapter. see if it doesn't stop, if it does, well either it's a bot that's fucking up your laptop or just a error in Windows.

Since when does a computer STOP when overheating? it SHUTS DOWN when overheating, and he clearly said his computer STOPPED and had to MANUALLY shut it down.

If you have a virus, download Kaspersky Internet Security 7. That would fix that. If you're problem persists, consider rolling back you're computer to before the problem.

lets narrow it down a bit before we all go jumping to conclusions.

How much RAM do you have?
What are you doing when it freezes?
Has something been recently installed on your computer?

The network controller is probable your NIC card did someone recently install one?

500 MB Ram,

Using the internet,

Guess so. Me and my brother share the laptop, he showed me what he downloaded, it was a 9.6KB file with hardly anything in it...So yes I guess it is a trojan. Obviously not a keylogger cos' all my passwords are fine, for the moment

Try these in this order.

1. I would try uninstalling any applications you installed in the last week. Or use system restore. If that dosent work.
2. It could be overheating. Make sure all your fans are working. Take out your CPU blow it off and put it back in.
3. Run system file checker and checkdisk

----
It could be a virus because all computer problems can be explained with a virus.

so update your antivirus and perhaps get another one like avast

I honestly don't think its a virus though people just rely on that when they don't know the real solution.
