    I have a Dell Laptop that stops working after 10-20 minutes. It doesn't do the Blue Screen Of Death or anything, it just completely freezes. After it freezes, I have to manually shut it down. After that, it will not boot up until another 5-10 minutes have passed. Repeat.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    EDIT: I checked the fan, and it's spinning fine. The bottom of the laptop does not get very hot when it freezes, so I don't think it's overheating.

    I forgot to mention, it's an Inspiron 5100.
