Hi -

Any BSODs or just freezing?

Bring up Computer Management -
START | compmgmt.msc

Check the Event Viewer - Filtered Admin logs to start
Check Reliab & Performance

Take a look at WERCON - Problem Rpts & Solutions
START | wercon.exe | start w/ Problem History

How large are these files? Is system ventilated properly. Sounds like heat may be an issue. Even when system appears "IDLE" it is not. Look at Reliab Monitor during so-called idle periods. Vista takes advantage of such periods to perform routine housekeeping activities.

Download and install SpeedFan - keep an eye on temps.

Also maybe something overloads your CPU/ Check out running processes in the Task Manager.
And do you perform basic maintenance, like disk cleanup and defragmentation?

@Asphodel excellent point. A severly fragmented HDD could definitely be a problem here - Auslogics Defrag - good product - I use it!

Thanks. . .
