How old is it? If it's still under warranty, take it to HP support center. could be a virus issue.

Information given by you.

1 yr old laptop which has 1GB RAM and is manufactured by HP. Period

How do you expect us to reply??

phew.... when asking a question try to give full details like Model number, Processor, and most importantly the Operating system. you have to tell if you did any virus scan on that or not. else you wont get information and we will simply be wasting asking simple questions.

I don't think he can do virusscan on a lappy that hangs in two minutes.

@Pritish, Have you tried booting into safe mode and doing a virusscan?
