I'm not sure what causes it but have a feeling that it is connected to my fan having to go into overdrive.
This happenes whenever I am using my laptop at the same time it is on charge, so quite often!
The screen and the laptop will completely lock up and I won't even be able to turn my laptop off when this happens!
If I am listening to audio at the time it locks up, the audio will continue but will be distorted in places. The freeze will continue for around 5 minutes before unfreezing, however it may then just freeze again for another 5 and so on and so forth. I've tried moving my laptop so that the fan is not touching anything but it seems to make no difference.
This seems to be happening more and more often and I have only had my laptop for a couple of days!
Any advice would be helpful :/
Thanks,
