Since you mentioned running laptop few hours or so made your laptop crawl, I would suspect overheating problem. Linux kernel usually logs such incident in kernel dump message so maybe when your laptop starting to crawl, you need to open a terminal console and type:

 dmesg

And look in last few lines at bottom of that log.
