Hi,
Does it happen on the same program that you have or to all other programs?
When did this issue started happening?
If it happens to the same program then try reinstalling it to your computer.
If this issue started happening after you have installed this program or by installing other programs , softwares or hardware then try performing a system restore (if you are using windows OS XP, vista or win 7.)
Hope this helps
Thanks
Dennis

send it to repair store
they replace a new plug ac

Probably full of spyware / clogged by programs.

Remove / uninstall any existing spyware program(s)
Download Malwarebytes(FREE) / install / full scan / delete all infections.
Ensure you have aPAID anti-virus program installed / update / full scan.

Open My Computer / right click on / C drive / properties /disk cleanup (Tick all boxes) / remove all files surplus / OK it as quite safe to do so.

Perform defragment. Start / Programs / accesories / system tools / defragmenter.

Go to Start / run / type in msconfig / enter / select start up / untick all BUT antivirus and malware program / close / reboot / tick box that pops up upon reboot.

This will absolutely speed up your Laptop. Perform this every week and you will never need for Tech assistance again!! (Except the msconfig one)

try to reformat your laptop

hi try reinstalling yahoo messenger 10.0 without anti virus, after uninstalling anti virus program reboot ....let me know if this helps or not cheers

runs slow doing what? task manager would help(right click at very bottom of screen for menu, select task manager, and click on performance tab. see what the CPU and page files are doing(if more than 75% up scale, then the problem lies elsewhere).

well i think the machine is getting hang

To be honest this still sounds like a fan problem. The freeze will happen if the laptop overheats. Maybe you should have it repaired again by a different company.(ask for the fan to be replaced!)
