anyone know why my laptop keeps freezing. Its not all the time, but it has just happened 3 times in the last hour. I'm wondering if it is anything to do with it being charged as I'm using it.

low spec, low cpu or low memory, disk or naughty programs running - all possible.
You might want to check if you have hibernation turned on (if its windows system) and turn that rubbish off.0 -
Hotkee, how do I check if hibernation is switched on, & if it is, how to turn it off? I think all the others you mentioned are OK, but would there be any "naughty programs" running without me knowing?:smileyhea A SMILE COSTS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING0
