On Thursday night, being the drunken so and so I was, I fell asleep whilst my music was playing. 5 hours later I woke up and it was still on so reset my computer as it was being all slow and shit.
Anyways, the first thing that comes up on the screen froze and I had to turn it off from by using power button. I turned it off for about 10 mins and then it was ok. However, since then its started doing it alot.
Whats my laptop playing at?

erm on a serious note, not too sure did you download any files or installed any new applactions?
So the good news is you probably didn't cause it by falling asleep with it on.
The bad news is that I've not really any idea what's wrong with it.
Is there a cd in the drive?
Is it connected to the internet? Does it speed up if not?
If there is a fan on the bottom is that bit blocked or dusty?
I am connected to the internet yes. I always am. I've not noticed if its slower if it is!
I don't think a fan is blocked.
My laptop is just going crazy then?
Most girls I know use their laptop in bed, especially now there's WiFi - unfortunately beds and laptops don't mix - mattresses / sheets block the air vents, etc - could have over heated if it was on the bed and you fell alseep
IF it's slow then download a program that helps speed up PC's there's loads of free ones about

Actually, I think it's windows that slows down with age. If you format and reinstall things should be as fast as they were in the beginnning.
Now the cynic in me would say that perhaps M$ has added code to slow down the system using the time that passed since its installation, or even worse given the date.
