Firstly it started to overheat, I had to update BIOS, which worked, but it caused my adapter to not be recognized by my computer, meaning my battery wouldn't charge (it was later found to be the battery that was dead), but I had to replace my MotherBoard, which worked, however a few weeks later my Hard Drive died. I replaced the Hard Drive as well (all done through Dell), but now my computer freezes whenever I do anything intensive with it (i.e. watch Netflix on Silverlight), or play Civ IV while having some chrome internet tabs open.
Now, my computer is a dual-core 2.2gig machine w/ a GeForce 8600M and all that and 4gig of memory, so its not a hardware issue, as far as I can tell. I thought it might be a driver issue, but I checked my device manager and it doesn't seem to show any driver issues, is there anything else I can check?
It will just freeze up and force me to do a hard reset. I can't find anything really wrong with stuff, except when I first got this comp I had Vista, and after the HD failed, I put in 7, but I don't see how that would really affect performance this much.....please.....help
