Windows 7 freezes

by cap'n billy . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

My Windows 7 Home Premium has developed a habit of completely freezing up on me from time to time. When I say completely I mean just that. No mouse movement, nothing I do on the keyboard has any effect, CNTRL-ALT-DEL has no effect, nothing. It will freeze when I’m browsing, it will freeze when I’m doing nothing with no windows open. The only thing that will get out of it is the Reset button. There is no pattern to this; sometimes it does it 2 or 3 times a day, other times it goes for 4 or 5 days at a time without doing it. The first time it happened I used System Restore to take it back to well before it first happened, but that didn’t work. I installed this OS in October, and before I do a clean reinstall I would like to know if anyone here has any ideas that may enable me to avoid that drastic step.

Here is my basic info:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz 2.66 GHz
RAM: 4 GB (3.37 GB usable)
System type: 32-bit
Motherboard: ASUS P5GC-MX/1333
