Computer -Randomly- Freezes -Solved-
silents429:
I did one a month ago with both sticks in. I'm not able to remove them, the laptop is owned by my school, and they have the ram slot covered..?
But for some reason not the HDD panel. So I can't really do seperate slots.
Edit- Forgot, Yes I was trying to fix those event viewer errors, but they appear again. And then when I found out what the processes are for, and notice how they are running fine anyway.

I believe I know the cause. Heat.
After paying absolute close attention to when the freezes the past 3 days my computer has been hot. Very hot.
Which would explain why it freezes during idle, because I leave it all day, and thanks to my house being a room temperature of like 79 and 60% humidity, it doesn't cool down easily.
Of course this is speculation, I'm gonna keep my mini desk fan on my laptop to cool it down and see if it happens.

If the laptop belongs to the school, how come you had to pay for the replacement HDD ?
HWMonitor will show the temps which you can leave running http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/hwmonitor.html
Only click on the brown Download@Authors Site (32 bit) button in the top window.

No the HDD that broke last time was my own.
I use my own because they have massive restrictions on there OS, Im unable to optimize it or replace there norton anti virus etc.
It was affecting my schooling so I just replaced the HDD, and I switch them out when I mail it back in 2 years.
Boggin:
OK - have you downloaded HWMonitor and what is it giving for your temps ?
If it's intermittent then it may not be overheating which is why I'd previously mentally discounted that - those type of freezes or even shutdowns in extreme cases tend to be more regular, but see how the monitoring goes.
