Alison, it totally depends on how the Operating System was restored; if
it was completely restored (i.e. drive formatted and the operating
system reloaded), repaired (no formatting, just replacing system files),
or Windows restored (Windows System Restore).

Normally if your system was completely restored and you are still
experiencing issues with lockups, it could be faulty hardware.
Lockups/freezes can be caused by numerous of things; faulty drivers,
faulty hardware, memory leaks from corrupt software, spyware/malware,
etc.

Please give us a little more details as to the original problem (why you
had it reloaded) and what has happened since. That way we can better
help you.
