My game freezes mid game.  The music continues to play but the window greys over and says "not responding" when I click on it.  I tried to close it from task manager but was unable to do so.  I was forced to reboot.  The first time my computer would not restart and I had to perform startup repair.  The second time windows explorer crashed upon startup but I was able to restart it.  
I am running a 3 or 4 year old Lenovo W500 laptop with Windows 7.
