When you say "it freeze". How long have you waited before "pulling the plug" or considering other way of powering off ? Have you checked the temperature of your CPU after leaving it running for a while. Laptop end up with lot of dirt inside and this is not good for thermal conductivity. So they tend to heat up when they get older (and not cleaned). If your system freeze it may be some problem caused by overheating. On the long run, capacitor get tricky and solder may become problematic. But first, is this happening only when you have been using the system for a while ? Because this could point to a problem of overheating. What are asking here anyway is pretty tough. As we don't have your hardware in front of us.
