i have 2 computers and this only happens on my laptop so i know its me and not something with the game itself.

sometimes (not always)after i select a champ and finish loading the map im on the game will freeze and il have to restart my computer, i cant minimize or ctr alt del. its always wihin the first minute after logging in, if i can go that long and not freeze then im good to go for hours

also and this might be just my imagination but i think the sound sometimes fails before the freeze

It might be a matter of over-heating. Your graphics card or processor temperature will go up for every image to load, that includes characters, maps, walls, etc. In some cases where massive graphics are in the screen (like a zerg or a big town), your system might not be able to move a game this big, then it tried to work harder, it gets over-heated and eventually it can’t and just stop working.

Warning alert: too much heat can break your laptop. Make sure you play on very low graphics on that one and find a way to measure your computer’s temperature.
(Aida64 is a good program for that, but it’s not free).
