My Asus laptop has Windows Vista. Since I do not use this as my main computer, I never updated to Windows 7 or 8. But I would still like to use it. The problem is Windows will work for a while and then it freezes up and the little downlaod cirle icon continues to rotate as is it is downloading a web page but never does. I have to do a factory restore to get Windows to work again. Sometimes I can go for a month before this happens and sometimes a few days. Does anyone have an answer Operating system:Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1 System root: C:Windows Available physical memory: 7933 MB CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 521 Processor Drive Info: C: 687.03 GB D: 11.06 GB Internet Explorer: 11.0
