    Greetings,
    Please your help
    I have a new Sony SZ381P which keep freezing (no response) from time to time,
    I tried everything Sony told to do (clean hard desk, remove programs, & recovery to the original format), but still the same problem. Some time it takes 5 -6 hours then freeze and some times only seconds from the running the windows.

    I really appreciate your help

    I've never owned a Sony, but understand that they're filled with bloatware, just as Dell, HP and the eMachines I recently bought. First, try ridding your machine of the uneeded crap - and don't reinstall to original unless you're installing from a clean disk without the original bloat. Then try removing unnecessary startup programs, disabling processes running in the background which you don't need. If you haven't already, scan for malware - AV, antispyware and rootkits if possible. Finally, run a program like CCleaner, or RegSeeker - perhaps running both might be a good idea.
