Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate - mouse or explorer.exe hands up system completely
FreeCat:
Thanks Boggin,
Well, I was very worried about the SSD when I first installed it, but since then (maybe 2 + months) I have not had any problems with it and system seems to be OK. I have hear that performance can be increased with Magician, but for now I will just leave well enough alone. I am putting in another idential system in the next month and will read all about how to install based on you link for that system.
Re mouse or explorer.exe hanging up system, I guess I have to wait till it happens and take a careful look at the event viewer as you suggested. By t till then and thanks much!
Boggin:
Okay.
Boggin:
I forgot to add that while a chkdsk /r doesn't apply to SSDs, a chkdsk /f can be run on a SSD as it mainly just reads the disk with any corrections only taking minimal writing which would not impact on the life of the SSD.

Hi - OK at 13 44 today it happened again.
Attached are the event viewer notices; none of them happened at 13 44.

When it happened, mouse and kb and cpu were frozen; all monitors were on.
On reboot two of the AMD W7000 monitors did not come on; I went to screen resolution and they would not connect.
But, every time it has happened in the past there were no problems at all with the monitors coming on.
Boggin:
Are your monitors on now ?
See if there's an update for the video driver or you could reinstall what you have by opening Device Manager/Display adapters then right click on it and select Update driver - first to let it search online and if that comes back as already having the latest driver, right click on it and select Update driver again.
Click on Browse my computer - Let me pick and then click on the driver and then on Next where it will reinstall.
I don't know what that expired certificate is for but Avast could have problems with having repeated errors, although as you don't have a timed error date for the freeze, then it's unlikely to be the cause.
Can you go Start - type view reliability and press enter when View Reliability history comes up which may also have something recorded.
I don't know if it would be worth doing a memory test as when the RAM modules become problematic, you usually get a black screen, but if you have more that one RAM module fitted, remove all but one then go Start - type memory and press enter when Windows memory Diagnostic comes up and let it scan then do the same with the other modules to see if it reports anything.
However, if there's anything wrong with a module or its slot, when just that one is fitted, the machine may not boot up but a scan could spot a weak spot.
