Vista/ New Laptop Help

[Paul]

Just bought a new laptop about a month of so back and I keep getting like freezes in my game; where i can see what is happening but my mouse wont move for a few seconds. As i play alot of surf; this gets rather annoying and resulting in me suiciding alot/ falling into prison.

I have no idea why? Also i get an error called hl2.exe has stopped responding from time to time.

Oh and the major thing which has been really pissing me off is that my computer crashes EVERYTIME I close CS:S.

Ive been thinking about unistalling Css and re-installing it to see if it will stop my computer from crashing everytime i close cs:s.

But im clueless, any idea's/ help/ advice?

There is your problem right there. Laptops suck for gaming, desktops are far better suitable.

I get the game feezes all the time playing cs:s, does happen a little on other games suchs as cod4 and tf2 as well for me.

I've got better specs than you in some areas, and i'm running vista.

I also use wireless internet, which may cause some fo the issues

I'm pretty sure its sp,ething to do either with wireless internet or with vista

(incidently, if you ever see me playing, then suddenly freeze for a few seconds, or if you hear me disconnecting and reconnecting in vent, its caused by this)
