Hi there,My laptop is admittedly fairly old now, but has been very reliable until I did a windows update and installed SP3. Now it freezes after a few minutes of use for what seems no reason at all. Its seems to more commonly happen either when watching media (i.e. youtube videos) or playing games, although it can happen at other times too.Anyone had anything similar? any ideas how to prevent this?My pc details:Dell Latitude D630Intel(R) mCore(TM)2 Duo CPUT7300 @ 2.00GHz1.99 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAMMicrosoft Windows XP ProfessionalVersion 2002Service Pack 3ThanksGary

Have you updated your flash player lately? Also, can you uninstall SP3 and see if it still happens?vader95 Windows 95-7 office 97-2010 Ubuntu 9.10-10.10
