    Computer freezing

    My computer keeps freezing, and the screen looks puzzled. I/ve already
    re-booted it, and did a maintanence scan however that did not help. Any
    suggestions.

    If the screen gets corrupted with bright colours and other weirdness it
    sounds to me like symptoms of the graphics card overheating.

    Try pulling the side of the case off, and if you've got a desktop fan
    kicking around point it at the machine, see if it still crashes then.

    Or try booting in SAFE mode.
    If you can then it is a driver.
