Can you post your computer specs?
Have you set up GraphicRules? Sounds like the game maybe doesn't recognize your graphic card/chip properly, and is having issues running because of this. It will run with the lowest settings and often with graphic issues, freezing, etc. Could also be issues with the display, which is mainly fixed via GraphicRules.
Is the laptop starting to get old? If it's 4-6 years or more, it could be slowly decreasing battery life, dust buildup, overheating parts, or wear&tear if you've moved it around a lot.
Freezing issues both related and unrelated to playing the game can be an indication that something's off either in the software (OS) or hardware (RAM/CPU, etc.), or simply that the computer is working very hard on something and is best left alone for a few minutes. If you have Windows 10, (temporary) freezing issues seem to be part of the OS due to some processes that seem to hog the capacity of the harddrive (for an hour or three if you're unlucky, and freeze the computer if it gets too bad).
