u can cause a crash dump when the machine freezes so you can analyze it to determine the cause of your system freezes.
do this http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=261339&ssdFilterCommunity15=1408&ssdFilterCommunity13=0&ssdFilterCommunity11=634&ssdFilterCommunity10=368&ssdFilter_SearchKeyWord=registry+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&page=1&ssdSearchOperator=0&ssdFilterCommunity3=0&Hilite=registry+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE <http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=261339&ssdFilterCommunity15=1408&ssdFilterCommunity13=0&ssdFilterCommunity11=634&ssdFilterCommunity10=368&ssdFilter_SearchKeyWord=registry+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&page=1&ssdSearchOperator=0&ssdFilterCommunity3=0&Hilite=registry+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>and next it freezes you can press the specified keey combo to create a crash dump, despite what it says, it will work on usb keyboards as long as the usb driver has not crashed. you can then use a crash dump analysis tool to try and find the cause. e.g. http://www.nirmaltv.com/2008/12/18/whocrashed-windows-crash-dump-analysis-tool/ <http://www.nirmaltv.com/2008/12/18/whocrashed-windows-crash-dump-analysis-tool/>If you don;t have any luck with this, then I suggest disabling all non windows services and auto startup programs to see if this resolves the problem, and then enable your services one at a time until you determine which one is causing your freeze ups, you can do this via the msconfig tool. press windows key + R type run <enter> go to services, check "hide all microsoft services". uncheck all the remaining services so they do not start disable all your startup items. reboot machine run like this until you are sure the system is not freezing then use msconfig to enable services a few at a time until you again get a system freeze, then you will be able to narrow down the cause.
