Windows Vista freezes with funny screen
HP Pavillion TX2500 Tablet notebook
After using the laptop for a while it locks up and the screen pixulates like picture shown
Word froze up first
It does get quite hot on the side by the cpu fan
Any ideas
Thanks

Looks like an overheat issue to me. Given that it is a laptop, unless you are very comfortable opening the tub up for servicing, you should stop here and get professional help.
You are getting a signal to the monitor, but the sync signal is either missing, or too small for the monitor to detect it. That's what causes the screen to look the way it does. This may be a result of the overheating, or it is a symptom of the problem that causes the overheating. Apparently there is a component within the laptop that's faulty, and it is getting hot enough to affect other components.
If the laptop has value, it should be repaired before other things start going wrong, and before it affects your monitor.

Try plugging in an external monitor to see if the same thing happens, if it does it could be a faulty video card, or it could be over heating. I know HP had problems with some of their highend laptops having video problems to this and the video card needed to be refluxed (resoldered) to the mobo. I am not sure if this model of tablet laptops has the same issues.
