i have a Compaq, windows 7 laptop ive had my laptop for about a little bit under a year now maybe 9 or 10 months , my laptop recently started acting up about 5 months ago , it was running sluggishly and also while using my laptop for about an hour it would suddenly begin to get glitchy and when i move my mouse the cursor would move little by little very slowly and glitchy for about 30 seconds then the laptop will completely freeze , i thought it was a malware problem so ran some programs that was told to me by a professional on my computer , after that my computer sped up and was working smoothly the pop-ups went away , but still my laptop randomly freezes i have to hold the power button down to reboot it when it freezes and when i start it back up it stays on the windows start up screen and glitches while the windows logo builds up for a very long time maybe 15 minutes then when the windows logo finally builds up it freezes and doesn't go past that , i do the same thing to reboot it for a third time and the laptop works perfectly fine and there's no problem , later in the day maybe week the same thing occurs, i believe it is a heating problem and want to find a way to fix it , please bear with me i don't know a lot about computers and laptops
