When that happened I popped my computer open to take the chance to fix some other
annoyances. My mobo wasn't seated properly so a nudge would make it power off from
it shorting or something. I cleaned all my fans, replaced my thermal paste with AS5
(had some lying around), etc... etc... I think it might be my HDD drive. So I'm running
a bunch of diangostics on it, hoping that might shed some light. I will also try
a Vista repair install on it to see if that might fix the app hangs.
