| Windows 7: Computer keeps freezing... |

Computer keeps freezing... This started when I applied two updates plus SP1. The computer now just freezes, the mouse keeps moving but everything else stops(Video,Audio etc..). I tried uninstalling SP1 but that didn't change anything and I looked for those two updates but the history shows 2/26/2011 as the installed date when I uninstalled SP1.
I tired a roll back, but that doesn't go back before I applied the two updates plus SP1 for some reason.
Any help? Thanks.
My computer is a Dell inspiron 580 Core i3-530
Windows 7 64 bit.

Do you experience this lock ups while doing something? or just like that... Nope, just watching my shows on WMC and or surfing the web nothing processor intensive. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell inspiron 580 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Core i3-530 Memory 6GB Graphics Card Intel HD graphics Monitor(s) Displays HDTV.

The Repair install is something I might not want to do as it might affect the DRM on my WMC files(And make them not playable). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell inspiron 580 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Core i3-530 Memory 6GB Graphics Card Intel HD graphics Monitor(s) Displays HDTV.
