when does it lock up? - at the "blue screen" while booting up?

No - It boots fine works for a litttle fine then within 15 or twenty minutes it just freezes. I saw on another forum that this particular model possibly had some faulty capacitors and the motherboard would have to be replaced. Am looking to see if there's another answer first.
capacitors can be changed - no need for a new logicboard
the price difference for the parts is huge (capacitors ~30$ - new logicboard ~1000$)
but you need some soldering skills to change the capacitors - or someone who can do that for you
