Hi, there well I am a little bit confused due to my dedicated memory and shared memory for my Dell Studio 1555 Laptop's graphics card.
It contains, AMD Radeon 4000 series with dedicated memory of 506 MB and shared memory is displaying about 1780 MB and I am facing the freezing error while playing the NFS Most Wanted Game on it.

NFS Most Wanted should play fine on Studio 1555 with your config. Your GPU is definitely capable of handling it.( Also, I'm assuming its a Core2Duo with 4 gig RAM?)

For starters, I would suggest you uninstall NFS, install another game like say NFS Underground 2 and see if it freezes. That'll eliminate faulty or incomplete installation as the cause.

Also, check the laptop bottom for heating issue. Install GPU-Z to monitor GPU temp during gameplay. If it exceeds 80*C you have a heating issue that is most probably caused by dried and cracked thermal paste. Apply new thermal paste and clean the vents.

If that doesn't work, you might need to change the whole setup - Heat sink, Fan, Tubing.

This is all assuming that it freezes ONLY during gaming. Provide more details.
