My computer keeps on freezing up.

Extremely hot? :f6: Sounds like a serious cooling problem to me. Even if it's not the cause of your freezing, it's still something that you should fix. Get a can of compressed air and try to blow dust out of the fan. If that doesn't work, then look up a disassembly guide for your laptop model on Google, so you can take off the fan cover and clean it easier that way. Just be careful when you do it. ;o
