Basically my laptop keeps crashing, after some looking through though i believe this may be to do with a file i have ( at the moment i only really have pictures, videos and music files).

Is there any way I can find out if one of them is causing my laptop to freeze?
Thanks

Theoretically, bad driver/program can cause crashing or Os itself. What error message do you get. I advise you to reinstall a display driver

Remove the previos one, restart the laptop and install new downloaded display driver.
