Funny. Well not really but I spent Thursday afternoon working on a Sony Vaio with Vista Home Premium that had trouble booting and would just hang. Backed up most data but had some I couldn't get. Getting corrupt errors. Could see disk from UBCG 4 Windows except for some areas it would just hang. Tried running chkdsk and it found bad sectors and then hanged. Figured hard drive was going bad. Still under warranty so back it went.
With it happening to three different machines it's unlikely to be the hard drive. Have you tried running MalwareBytes or one of the online scanners? Can you try running Process Monitor to see if it shows anything? Does it do it in Safe Mode? I'm sure you've thought of these but just checking. Anything changed? Other than that I'm not aware of anything that might cause that.

It appears to be in a hung state where using task manager or hardbooting is the only way to clear it. Three Sony VAIO's are exhibiting the same issue yet MSE doesn't detect anything. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
