Humph!!!!!!!!
My computer is freeking out!!!!
This is frustrating. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it keeps freezing. It started doing it and my thought was "time for a format/reinstall" so I did. Even right after I formated it started again. So I'm 90% sure it's not a software issue. Plus it is getting more frequent. Jonathan suggested that heat was the issue so I installed speedfan. I left the graph on my screen and the temperature stayed pretty constant for over an hour and then my computer froze. I think my temp was between 33 and 36 (if I remember right). So it's not software and not heat (as far as I can tell). Right now I'm running my comp with the side off the case to see if it helps any. All my fans are working, and I haven't moved around any hardware in months so it's not some connection. Could something be dieing?
This is dumb. I'm REALLY thankful for my laptop right now because I can't do anything on my desktop with it freeking out like this.

Your hard drive might be acting up and may be causing your OS to freeze while reading system files... or your CPU just might be unstable... Are you overclocking it by any chance? But it does sound like a hardware issue...

Might wanna check your connections anyway. They can get loose just from stuff like slammed doors and vibrations in the floor and you have LOTS of floor vibrations in your room. :-)
