Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Locking Up

[zenbudda]

I have download the SF Diagnostic Tool. I ran it as administrator. I created all of the log files. I have zipped them up and attached them as requested.

Here are my observations:

1. laptop freezes up a LOT when watching Hulu
2. laptop tends to freeze up more when bottom starts getting hot (fan is blowing hard)
3. laptop seems to freeze up when it is real hot and i tap it the wrong way (put it on my lap, sit it down on a table, etc).
4. I've put the laptop on a laptop cooler and it still freezes up.
5. I noticed that my laptop cooler has scratches on it. Upon inspecting the laptop I noticed one of the screws is also scratched up. could this be the problem?

Welcome
Sounds like an overheating problem. Download speed fan and find out for sure.

Upgrade your Video card, too.
Your other thread will be removed. Its against policy to double post, with the same question

i downloaded the utility, however, i got some serious malware on my pc now (just as a warning to others who visit that site). something called funmoods. grr

anyway, i do see that the pc is overheating a bit. i updated my video drivers. it's freezing less, but it's still freezing.

and i apologize for the double post. i posted this thread and did not see it pop up in the forums. so i thought i lost the thread.

Get rid of the funmodes with a system restore. I will find another site that you can use to monitor the temps.
