The screen just freezes sometimes for no reason
Here are its specs:
MS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1
Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU T3400 @ 2.15GHz, 4.0GB RAM, Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family--I got these from CCleaner.
I'm now downloading the latest drivers from Intel--http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect. I think that should help but I'd like to ask you guys if there is anything else I can do. Thanks.

After downloading the latest drivers, run msconfig, go to startup, and remove anything you dont need. If you see anything with a blank manufacturer its probably a virus. Normal programs have a proper name and such.
Also get and run malwarebytes, could be adware or anything slowing you down.
Get HWmonitor and check temps. It could be throttling from heat due to dust.

I'm very careful about what I download and from where I download, but I will download MB. I'll try that out as well, thanks!
EDIT: So far it seems to be running well! No screen flashes
