    For the past couple of months my Laptop has been stalling when I''m on it for about thirty minutes. It will "choke" then be fine for 4 seconds but choke again. It has become a nuisance to the point when it happens so much that my system freezes up and I have to turn my computer off.

    I have all ready recovered the drive hoping that it would cease, but it hasn't.

    I don't know what to look up if this issue has all ready been resolved.

    I'm wondering if it's the hardware of my Laptop, because recovering the C Drive didn't help at all.

    As you have restored the laptop I would be inclined to agree with you that the problem is hardware based - and probably temperature related.

    Is there any indication that the cooling fan is cutting in or not - if the cooling fan has failed or the air inlet/exhausts are blocked the processor may be shutting down on over temperature.

    Download Everest and check out the CPU temp (Computer > sensor) and post back.

    My computer has only been on for at the least five minutes.

    CPU temp. is definitely way above average. Anything above 50 C is too hot. Get you fans checked and/or exhaust cleaned.
