This has never happened before. Is there a fix to this or do I have to reformat my laptop? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Laptop specs listed below:

CPU: AMD Turion X2 1.86GHz (Dual-Core)
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Video: GeForce Go 6150
HDD: 120GB 5400rpm SATA
OS: Windows Vista Media Center Edition SP2

Sorry I cant post anymore information, laptop locks up before I can run a hardware scanner program.

OMG!!! I especially joined this forum to ask the exact same Q!!!
My laptop also does that: if i don't see the little computer icon come up in the taskbar i know my computer is gonna freeze up no matter what i do. Even if i go to 'start' and try to shut down using proper procedures it just freezes up. I have to force shut it down using the power button.

My laptop is also AMD Turion 64-34 processor. (1Mb L2 cache, 1.8 ghz)
RAM: 1Gb DDR
HDD: 120GB

I thought it was a dodgy CPU. Do you happen to have an Acer Aspire 5004WLMi laptop?

I'm not a computer person, therefore I'm sorry if i'm asking dumb questions. Seeing as you're experiencing teh same problem as me, can I assume that mine is also a corrupt Windows installation? And what is a sfc/scannow? How can i reformat my computer before i reinstall?

By the way AznDemon, this is not in relation to the CPU problems, but rather the audio in the laptop:

Do you notice that when you play movies or dvds in ur laptop the audio is verrry soft? Even when i turn it all the way up i can still barely hear them talk. Music and youtube etc is fine. It only happens to movies downloaded to the comp, or dvds. Not sure if it happens to all laptops or just mine :(

I appreciate any response
