5 Answers
Ok, did full scan on laptop and came back as no viruses, no hardware prob, all clear. Still froze as soon as switched on. So finally restored laptop back to factory settings and now works just fine - for now!
My Q is, how do I know what was wrong with it?? it didnt have any programmes installed that were then removed - my son had only had it back 2 weeks and so hadnt put anything on it. Am baffled!!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Overclocking means using software to force certain components to work faster than they are originally designed to do. If done very carefully, this can result in a slightly faster computer but the downside is that you my experience more crashes / freezes. I'm not saying your son has done this – only that it would be one explanation as overclocking crashes are almost indistinguishable from genuine hardware faults.
Glad to hear that it's up and running again.
