To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
It's not a BSOD. It just freezes, and I have to wait a REALLY long time for it to unfreeze. I get bored of waiting, so I restart.
I've never used an application log before, but as far as I can see, there's nothing wrong there. It just says "there are no items to show in this view".
Your system is overclocked, are you sure it's stable? Run Prime95 for a few hours and see if you get any fatal errors. Or try clocking back to it's default values and see if it freezes again.

It's not overclocked is it?
sorry, I put the 'is' in the wrong place

Forgot to metion - about the freezing, I can still move my mouse, and it'll allow me to click once on an icon, so that it is shaded but that's it. If I try to open something (program/start menu etc) whilst it's frozen, it'll open them when it unfreezes.
Do you use a USB modem?
What firewall do you use?

I do use a USB modem. Is that a problem?
The firewall is PC-cillin 2002, but it has told me to renew subscription etc, and I will.
Dont have a network connected do you? I vaguely remember a setting where OS searches for a DNS server on your local network (using a broadcast).
Btw you have way too many services running. This is my task manager:

I have no netw rok. I will review my programs/services/start up stuff whenever I find time/can be bothered.
USB modems can interrupt the CPU if the driver/software associated with it is not setup correctly or corrupt.
Try uninstalling your firewall and see if the freezing remains (don't just turn it off, uninstall it completely).

I have uninstalled it a few times, because I tried to install an upgrade, but it wouldn't go to the full version - only a trial, so I uninstalled it, and reverted back to my older version (but it still works and updates itself).
So..., you still get the freezing with your firewall uninstalled yes?

No, I haven't tried it with it completely uninstalled. I uninstalled it, and re-installed it. Is it actually safe to go on the internet with out firewall/virus protection etc???
Possibly not, just stick to trusted sites and general browsing to wait to see if your computer freezes, if it does, then you know it's not your firewall that's causing the problem, it's up to you to take the risk.

I'd still rather not risk it....
I've not had a problem for a while, so it seems OK now.
