My computer has been randomly freezing lately.
Always at the end of the day, around 16:30, but last week around 17:30 too.
Only the on/off button works.
Another problem I've been having is that I can't connect to the Wi-Fi of one particular customer.
But it's only me.
Had that issue before and nothing could solve it except a router update after a couple of month.
Maybe I could find out what causes the problems, maybe the problems will go away after some random update, but more likely it's easier and faster to buy a new laptop 
Spending a lot of time and money on something that works 99% of the time is not my favorite pastime, but better do it now when I still have the time and choice

Might be time to back up your data and reinstall the OS from scratch. By "from scratch" I mean get the Microsoft retail version of the OS and install from there, deleting the partition table as part of the process. You may need to get drivers for the machine before you start this process, though.

Easier and faster to just buy a new laptop, which I did.
I'll keep my current one around for emergencies.
Always good to have a spare if your business depends on it

If your time is valued at 80-100 euros/hour, it doesn't take that many hours of wasted time to equal buying a new computer.

Since my laptop backs up on a regular basis using the Windows File History feature, I can reimage and restore in about four hours. My last laptop cost me just under $3,200. Using $100/hour and an 8 hour day, this would have been four business days of chargeable time.
I actually had to do this in February as my previous laptop simply shut off and would not turn back on. Purchased a new machine (Dell XPS15) and had it up and running in about four hours with everything restored from the file history backups.

Shoulda come up from the southwest. It's the long route to Minnesota? but they'll let you in.

I was under the impression that UK citizens dont need US visa.

Nope - only if you're coming in from our southern border do you not need a visa.
|
|

They don't need visas, but somehow they must have crossed the border without checking in. That's not easy to do, but there isn't a lot of traffic in this area, so there might be crossings that aren't staffed 24x7.

In Norway, we also hunt deer, partially because there is not enough food for them all (so they find a lot of food in cultivated farmland - in some areas, it has been claimed that half the crop is eaten by deer!), but also because the meat is popular - and the hunting is popular! (Norway has about the same gun density as the U.S, but we aim the weapons at animals.)
Close to fifty thousand deer was shot last year. These are of the bigger deer variants, according to Wikipedia: 'Red deer' (the Norwegian name is 'hjort'), females typically 160 kg, males 250 kg.
However, we do not plan to extinguish them. We don't want to extinguish any species belonging to the native, Norwegian fauna. If a species is endangered, hunting will not be allowed. Widespread hunting for food is permitted only if there are plenty of animals, and the red deer population is estimated to 200-250,000 and growing. We also have a comparable number of moose ('Elg'), about forty thousand are hunted every year, but each animal is larger, males typically 4-500 kg.
Hunting is strictly regulated here: Authorities specify the maximum number of males, females and calves each hunting team is allowed to shoot, to ensure that the population is not eradicated and does not grow out of control.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Some say that if you speak a cat's name three times in the night ...
... He will appear ...
... As if from nowhere.
And knock something over and break it.
* Probably of the set of one.

You have to speak her name?
She's not properly haunting you then

Under normal circumstances, cats never respond to their own name - it sets a precedent they don't want to get involved with ...

It helps if you have a bag of food in your hand.

Yup. Broke the alarm clock twice, in half a year.
Can't have candles or plants either.
