Wooderson Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My laptop is having some major malfunctions. About 3 weeks ago the laptop started having problems picking up a wireless signal, no matter where I was. It would detect the signal for about 90 seconds and then the signal would just disappear and couldn't be found again. Then, about a week ago, the laptop started finding the signal again, so I had no more problems with that, but that's when the freezing started. My laptop will freeze, without notice, at any point between 5-20 mins after I boot up the computer. I've had to restart several papers because you can't do a thing when it freezes, all you can do is power off and turn back on. I think it might be a virus, but I'm not positive, so any other ideas to fix it would be nice. I'm not that much of a computer whiz, so any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks! P.S. I've ran a system restore twice, and defragged the harddrive but neither made any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
