I have a Gateway NV54 laptop (Intel Pentium T4400, 250 GB HDD, 4 GB Memory, Windows 7) and for the last month or so while I'm using Internet Explorer the whole laptop will freeze/crash. I can't move the mouse or start task manager or do anything with it. If I have music playing it'll slow right down to annoying long drone-like noise.

The only option I have is to unplug and disconnect the battery and plug it back in and turn it back on. It's happening more and more lately.

Any ideas what I can do with it?

antivirus?
make sure to uninstall any programs you don't use.
try running internet explorer without any add-ons....

it basically sounds to me like you need to clean your computer a bit
