First of all, I am currently using an Asus G2S gaming laptop. It is quite new (bought in january) and I'm thinking the problem is hardware related. The problem that I am having is that my laptop will only run for ~5-10 minutes before freezing and having to be manually shut down. This has been happening for several days now, and i am quite positive that it isn't virus or spyware related. I even went as far as to completely reinstall vista in hopes of solving the problem. The only thing i can think of is that about a week ago my laptop was turned on and plugged in during a thunderstorm, which may have caused some potential damage to the hardware, but i am not sure. What happens is: i am doing something such as installing a game and the install freezes but for maybe 15-30 seconds i can still do things in other windows before EVERYTHING completely freezes and i must manually shut it off.
