y570 freezes

[gioellip]

HI everyone. I just got my Lenovo Y570 last Saturday. I asked my relatives from Singapore to buy it for me. I live in the Philippines. So I have a problem. a really big one. And I am kinda pissed off about it because I was so excited at getting this. When I first booted up, after about 10 minutes, it freezed. I cannot do anything about it. I cant use the touchpad or keyboard and the pointer freezes. It is a hard hang. All I can do is to press the power button for about 5 seconds for it to reboot. Ive been having problems for the first time I used this laptop. It always freezes. All I can do is to press the power button 5 second for it to work again. I havent installed anything. I dont know if it is a driver issue or not. What do you think? I really dont want  to send this back to Lenovo because I need this for college. Please help.

shut down your computer, press one key recover button ( the arrow sign one ) to perform clean windows installation. if it doesn't help, post back the results so we can suggest another solution(s).

I already tried that and it didnt work. I set it up agan from the initial state but after it freezes up again. So I tried to update some of my drivers. When I updated my chipset driver, the freezing problem was gone for about 2 hours. And then it freezed again. Today, I installed some drivers like in my integrated graphics card. For about 2 hours again, it does not freeze. But just now, it freezes up again and again. All I can do is to do a hard reset. I do not know what to do next. Please help. I really dont want to send this to Lenovo back because I really need this for my studies. Im not sure if its the drivers or anything.

try bios update. ( do not forget to restart your computer before flashing bios update )

Hi. Thanks for answering. I really want to do that but I dont know how and Im afraid the motherboard would be fried. Is that necessary? I really dont know how. Im just a regular student who knows about the specs. I havent tried updating bios before. Would one key recovery work if the flashing is unsuccessful? I really dont want  to brick my laptop.

if you follow the instructions, i believe you'll be fine.
even if you burn your main-board, lenovo will replace it for free.

also, try remove/replace or swap the ram sticks.

update your bios to the latest. I bought mine in Singapore and got it in the Philippines. it always froze and I almost sent it back to Singapore. but the Lonovo Singapore customer care was the best. They had been patient and really asked me to update my bios. read the instructions though when flashing bios. I was afraid but they told me that they will replace my motherboard if it burned. But i successfully flashed it and no freezing ever since. update also your touchpad drivers after flashing bios.
