"My boomerang is home....and the solution was something I'd never heard of,
so there is a chance it will help some of you.
First: Tried unplugging external drives as suggested. No help.
Ran chkdsk again. No help.
Ran memtest66. No help
Scanned with Dell online hardware troubleshooter (My system is Vestros
470). Nope
Uninstalled all MS updates for last 2 months. Nope........At this stage was
still getting freezes, BSOD, log off and shut down stalls. Decided to try
Resource monitor. Couldn't get anything useful (to me, at least) there, but
saw a link to something in my Win7Pro system called*Reliability**
monitor. *Bingo!
Showed some problems were Windows ("We're working on a solution and will
get back to you when we find one"), but most were either the Dell datasafe
(included with the system) or a program I had installed months before and
forgotten about because I thought I hadn't activated it - a firewall call
*Glasswire**. *I uninstalled both the Dell and Glasswire programs, and have
been problem free for the last week...long enough to stop holding my
breath. The takeaway here is the Reliability Monitor may be a good addition
to your bag of tricks. Hope it helps. Thanks again to everyone for the many
suggestions.
