My ASUS G73JH laptop has been freezing and locking up lately. I have re-installed the OS twice in the last week and bought Driver Update (from the Slim Drivers people) to update my drivers. I even updated the VBIOS with no luck.
Most of the time when the freezes come, I have been in Google Chrome, but not always. Today at Subway it froze, so I restarted it and twice it restarted and immediately locked up before even getting to the login screen and it was making a strange buzzing noise through the speakers.
It just froze again a couple of minutes ago and I took this screenshot of the temps immediately after rebooting, but I don't know what the normal operating temps should be.

I hope the motherboard isn't dying. If its an SSD issue or something, I can fix that. But, I am at a loss as to what is causing the freezing/locking.
