Hello folks. I am using an Inspiron 1525 laptop. I am using Natty Narwhal. I encounter a strange problem at times. All of a sudden everything stops. Like if I am browsing suddenly the screen freezes and I won't be able to do anything after that. Keyboard too stops responding. Only the mouse pointer moves and neither left click nor right click works...

But the laptop works internally when the screen freezes... I mean if I had put some download, the downloading is not affected and my modem shows LAN activity... I can see from my modem when the download ends and when I reboot the system, I will have the fully downloaded file...

Can someone tell me why this happens? and any remedy? It's summer in India and temperatures are soaring... Yesterday it was 48 degree Celsius.... could it be the reason?
