Laptop freezing
2 Answers
I have a Toshiba laptop that has just decided to start freezing, there are 4 profiles on it and it seems to freeze more on mine (the main one). It seems to be ok then when you dont use it for maybe 5 mins it freezes and has to be re-started. Could this be a virus?? Is there a way to restore to before issue as this is the laptop that has 4 peoples worth of itunes stuff on it?? Please bare in mind I am technically challenged!!

If you need to, go here ..http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ and install the program to check what you're getting. You may have to clean out.
Then turn OFF System Restore .. and do a FULL AV scan .. AND download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and do a full scan with that too. Let them sort what they have to.
Once it's clean turn on System Restore again.
This is just the first thing to do.
