Constant Freezing on laptop

[Cortland]

I've been having a lot of problems with freezing in my games and even when I use the internet. But of course it's the most annoying with freezes every 10 seconds in game

Specs are:
Intel Core i7 2630QM
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel HM65 Express Chipset
DDR3 8gb set and 4 gb set
2 HDD 500 gb
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM

I have tried updating my drivers, reinstalled games and directx. I flashed my bios. Scanned for viruses, tried lower game settings. Ran mem test

I don't know what is causing this freezing so I am coming here to see if you guys have any ideas.

I'm not the best with laptops (or computers in that matter)

but , I'd download a program called GPU-Z I believe and it monitor's the temperature. If it's within the high 80's , that'd explain why you get a constant freezing.

It doesn't get to the 80s but the load spikes up to 100 randomly which is only in the 70s at most but i still don't know what would cause my load to spike from 5% to 100%.

70s? It's possible a heat issue. Try putting a fan to cool your Laptop while using it.

I tried the fan. Kept the temps down but didn't stop the lag spikes. Load still jumps up. Makes me wonder though is there anyway I can test the wellness of my hardware to single out the problem. Something that can test multiple things

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Randomly Freezes
No BSOD just random freezes with screen on and no keys or cursor repsond, all I can do is use a hard reset to restart. Then I get the standard windows was not shut down properly messege at start-up. I have been having this issue/s and have tried all the same standard help people have had to offer, in all the dfferent post I've read online.
To actually fix this issue I ended up having to go to the device manager and check for driver updates on all my devices, one at a time. I think the ones that had updates that fixed this issue were the ACPIx64-based PC under the computer drop down and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers especially the ICH ATA and SATA AHCI ontrollers (I think these made the difference). I checked them all, but these were the only ones that had updates. Once those were updated and the computer was restarted, it has stayed on. It's been on for a day now and no problems so far.

Well I did a hard restart and I do think that solved some of it because the freezing is not as bad if I don't do that update but it's still freezing. But now my speakers make a popping sound when I still my computer so I have no idea why it would start that.

Make sure you look for sound driver or graphics card update. Since you computer has been running at high temperatures, have you tried cleaning out the dust from all the vents and making sure you laptop fan/s are able to suck air in and blow out the heated air. You should be able to find cleaning instructions for your laptop brand somewhere online. Usually it just takes removing the access panels underneath the laptop and carefully blowing out the dust build up wth compressed air.
