More likely to slow your system down for no obvious benefit. They may even cause software interaction that will crash your system. Find one good antivirus and stick with it or choose a new one and get rid of the former.

Did you open the laptop by yourself?
The link you are trying to click on is
Working. http://bios-pw.org/

A bios password reset is a delicate job,
You have sorted it. That is good !

u can't suspect ur window yet.
First thing is, what d temperature of ur system after or let say 25mins on?
If it too hot dat means dat y it hang.
Is ur cooling fan working?
Check all dis first sir.

1. System hang if it too hurt.( if it dell, it will write d cause u wen u on it back. Some hp does too)
2. If ur hardisk is malfunctioning ( and it will give u an information like window explorer stop working and so on.
3. The os ( if they os on it is forced to be install on it).
4, hardware problem.
And so on bro.

Given zyzxx previous advice's, please check your laptop memory and
your system rating by clicking start, computer and system properties.

What is the make and model of the laptop? for example
toshiba P300-20H windows 7. if you have an laptop, please
restart and keep pressing f10 for bios. The bios would display a menu, please
use your arrow key to select diagnostics and run me an hard drive short test.

How did you re install windows, e.g. copied windows disc or original windows disk.

hold the windows logo on your keyboard and the letter R and a box should appear.
In the box, please type devmgmt.msc and press enter. In the device maanager, can you
see any exclamation mark/yellow signs

Are you using the laptop on a flat surface not on the bed ?
