Ok, might be getting somewhere.  I checked the event log from the disk check and it didn't find anything HOWEVER, while I was in there, I could go back 6 months to see all the other events that have happened.

I didn't understand a lot of it BUT I did get when the computer froze this morning, I found out why.

This is what the event log said happened this morning.

The application Cannot be initialized:
Context:  Windows Application, SystemIndex Catalog

Details:  The content index catalog is corrupt  (HRESULT:  0xc0041801) (0xc0041801)

could THIS be causing the computer to freeze?

Shane:
Not sure yet, can you copy and paste the log of the chkdsk for me?

OK good, hard drive looks good. Next thing to test is the memory.

Windows 7 should have a built in memory test tool.

Have it test the memory and let me know how it goes. Right now I am going through a process of elimination to try and trace down the problem, so before we start digging into windows we will make sure the hardware is all good :wink:

Also, when was the last time you did a total power drain on the system? Where you pull the power cord and battery, then hit the power button a few times, when the system tries to turn itself on it will drain itself of all power left in it. That is how you properly reset the hardware and that can sometimes actually fix the problem, so it is good to do that as well.
