Default Freezing and Screen Flickering

Whenever I equip new armour via the Inventory Menu, my screen flickers for a few seconds, totally freezes up, then more flickering. After several seconds, things turn back to normal.

Whenever I press H to bring up the Hero menu, and go to view my Titles Track, it freezes, if I'm lucky and fast enough to close it in time, I just lag, if not, I freeze and have to re boot my machine causing errors and such.

It's getting really annoying.

Laptop specs:

Nvidia GeForce 440 go 64 mb
512 ram
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor

Lower your video setting (if you're not already at the lowest setting) and try again. Laptops' hardware are very tightly packed together, so getting rid of the heat inside is very hard. Flickering screen is usually caused by overheated hardware. Hardware can overheat very easily on laptops, especially during summer (now..assuming you don't live in Southern Hemisphere) System crash are usually caused by unstable system and there are TONS of different possibilities that can make your system unstable.
