Causes:

Behind the scene factors that stall or stutter a laptop performance (laptop freezing) may fall under the categories of physical, insufficient memory and/or software problems.  

Solution: If a laptop freezes, below are the must-to-follow steps that can make a positive impact:

Physical problem

Task Manager is the ultimate handy tool to address the laptop freezing issue, if it happens occasionally, or happened for the first time. Open it with “Ctrl+Alt+Del” key-combination, and select the program which was not responding, and click on “End task.” If you are not so fortunate to bring culprits to book, then press the Power button for a while to get hard reset done. If you are unable to bear the laptop body temperature, then inspect the body to remove any obstructing dust or other items, specifically from the vents or hinges. Further, allow the machine to cool down. In case, broken cooling fan, or a heat sink failure caused the problem, then physical laptop repair is a must-to-seek service.

Out of memory issues

In case you got any ‘out of memory’ error with any application, then run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool available with the Control Panel. In case, it shows no or negligible free space, then take steps to create memory space, ostensibly by stopping unwanted startup items, removing viruses and malware and checking background processes. You can take lesson from the Support Center section at techvedic.com.

Software problems 

System Restore available with System Tools folder can address software problems in a quick and easy manner by restoring the machine to previous good configuration. If you suspect viruses or malware brought the mayhem, then download Microsoft Security Essentials or any third-party virus removal tool to perform a quick scan. Updating operating system, drivers and installed applications can also bring a big change.
