really need help with my laptop

[quetonto1]

Hey

so 1st of all i wanna say sorry for not being around

but anyways....

my laptop has been freezing and crashing soo much from last weekend

it gets to about 5 mins in after load-up then just won´t respond to anything even Alt+Control delete

i cleaned the fan yesterday to see if it that was the problem, i got a TON of dust out but it still does the same

i´ve also tried deleting some stuff i don´t use but that didn´t work either


i would really like to get it working as soon as possible because i´m wanting to start editing some videos


thanks to everyone

what OS, what set-up?

but sounds liked a messed up registry with to much shit to handle in the start-up, so i guess its a windows system...

try a registry cleaner or setting up the system new

its running windows xp and its a acer 5612 (about 5 years old)

so you mean its got to much stuff on its hard drive ?

i do have along with other things after effects and vegas but i´ve had them on for about 5 months with no problem

and what registry cleaner would be the best ?
and how would you go about setting up the system new again ?


sorryy for all the questions but its killing in me not to be able to use it

thanks alot man =)

I would suggest System Restore to a time before it was acting up or use a Virus scan or Spyware program to see if it helps or if you can find anything. Other than that you could re-Install Windows given you have the disc.
