hanging computer

Okay. Here's my system.

Sony Vaio PCG-GRX670
Mobility Radeon 7500 w/ Omega Drivers
Pentium 4 2GHz
512 ram

Issue:
I load the game and login just fine. When I choose my character and click play, the computer freezes up and I have to hold the power button and reboot to do anything. I've tried toggling openGL/Direct3D, reinstalling the game, force safe mode, everything and nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss especially since I played the game on my girlfriends laptop with much lower specs. Please help.

Are you playing on windowed mode? Maybe your antivirus or firewall is asking you to allow the execution of the game while it is stuck at fullscreen.

I'm not running any antivirus or firewall, and the game inexplicably ran last night for a while, but when I tried to play again later it started to freeze up my laptop again. So I know the game works, and plays fine on low settings, I just don't understand why it's crashing my laptop

Check the temperature of your CPU, chipset and hard disk. Maybe it's due to overheating.

That's the point i'm trying to make. I can't play cause it freezes when it's loading resources for the game world. If I could post temps I would but I can't even get to playing.

Did you install the latest drivers? :S

This is really strange... We need detailed information...
