Yeah on further inspection there is. It could probably be moved there.

Re: My computer, it no worky!
Ahh, I missed the part about it being a laptop till I re-read the post just now. My bad.
Still the crashes and lags you're describing basically sound like processor overheating. This is from personal experience. One of the cooling fans in my rig had stopped working and I ignored it without realising the cause of lag. Then the day I replaced that fan, it started working smoothly again.
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Re: My computer, it no worky!
Just a thought, check the power supply.

Re: My computer, it no worky!
I agree with the others regarding heat being a possible cause of this type of problem.
Lowering the max clock rate in advanced power settings might help it live through more stuff, at the cost of running slower of course.
You might be able to get at more of the interior to try dust vacuuming by going through the memory, cpu, and disk access doors.
I once had flaky memory which caused similar problems. If it's a model that doesn't require dual bank occupancy, try rotating memory or pulling a bank at a time.
BTW I turned on signatures, and thereby had to endure flying ponies. But it's worth it if it heals up your computer so you can continue playing and hosting.

You can just vote:Double A if you have a problem with that horrible signature.

Re: My computer, it no worky!
I've underclocked my, uh... thingy. And I also vacuumed every port and fan hole on my computer.
Still pointing fan at it, still cool to the touch. Not sure this is resolving the problem. Maybe it's packed full of dust bunnies and I just can't get em all.
Won't know until someone opens it up. But none of my temperature readings indicate anything too hot.
Could I have accidentally installed or uninstalled something that is now causing problems with my graphics card?
