Hi I think your hard drive may be on the way out.I would back up your personal stuff urgently.The reason it freezes up is that the drive is stuvk and cannot be read.When it resumes your machine will continue working.OPen the side of your case the next time it starts making noise and if its coming from your hard drive you could b in trouble.Hope this helps
I always found norton slows a machine down.turn it off and try it.Also lavasoft adaware is ,I found,Far superior at scanning than spybot. Hope this helps
Hi I could be wrong but It seems to me that it maybe an overheating problem.The fach that it does it playing your game would push the processor anf if overheatinfg would crash.Maybe thats the reason why it wont switch on immediately.Some machines have a function that wont allow startup until the temp drops.Check your fans are all working .Hope this helps
