Hi

Have you tried to start the laptop in Safe Mode? Does it work then? If so, then run some diagnostics to make sure the OS is OK, and most importantly, check you are using the latest drivers. Also make sure that Windows has the latest service pack and subsequent patches applied and that the software you are using (particularly anything that starts when your computer starts), is also up to date.

Good luck
