Sometimes when I use my laptop, it will suddenly start to skip, freeze one moment, and then the screen suddenly fritz out. It can change colors, to different colors covering the screen, or just completely gets rearranged to non-comprehensible images. Is there any way I can get that fixed? Thank you.

It might be caused by overheating. You might want to check the following web site:

FWIW to XP users: When you click on the 'Command Prompt' you are just causing the 'Command prompt' to be displayed. This prompt gives you access to NTVDM.EXE, the 'NT Virtual DOS Manager'.
