Hello all, I have been having the same problem (obviously), but am currently running NOTHING USB. This all started to happen almost a year ago right after I had done a windows update. I am not currently running a wireless NIC card, but I do have my pc connected to a wireless router (provided by verizon), I rremoved it from the system and it still is having the same issues.

Also, my virtual memeory I have set so that Windows will auto-increase it as needed.

Any thoughts?

Hi, pleeze can smbdy help me? I first had problems when playing games like Oblivion and Medal of Honor Airborne, about 40 min into playing (needless to say, i couldn't do much playing), but then the freezes started being completely random, i could have just let my computer do nothing and it still freezed, now it freezes in less than a minute, 3 times it froze BEFORE it even entered windows, i got nothing usb, no wireless, the temperature never rises higher than 60 C (it's normal, right?) and it's usually 55 C. is it possible that my 400 w source is too old (4-5 yrs i think, i'm not really sure) and can't handle 2 HDDs? please help

Oh, i forgot to say, the freezes KINDA started when i installed a 2.8 GH processor, instead of a 2.4, and a third 180 gb hdd(kinda because 1-2 days after i did this stuff). Yeah, i thought about the source and having 3 hdds, so i removed 1, but it still freezes((((

My problem was solved as it was a faulty graphic card.
