Hi,

First check if the laptop is getting sufficient amount of air that enters it's vents because one cause of lags and freeze would be an overheating problem. Next is to uninstall and reinstall the graphics card driver from Device Manager. Uninstall the graphics card driver then reboot the laptop that should automatically reinstall the driver for it. Lastly is to clean the inside of your laptop to make sure no dust is preventing the fans to spin freely and reapply a new thermal paste onto the CPU and GPU.
