Windows 7: Freezing after new install of W7 Home edition

No rhyme or reason it seems, running various programs, firefox/thunderbird, itunes, explorer - totally freezes.

I've run eventviewer, and it mentions kernel and 41 - uploaded the Diagnostic Tool output - any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hey, is your copy from Microsoft, Manufacturer or Pirated? If its a pirated copy this is probably caused by a corrupted copy or a failed burn of the disk. At cases like this, getting a better or a legit copy is recommended.

EDIT:
Analyzing your attachment, there were errors in Windows Update it can mean that an update was not successfully installed. That can also be a cause. I had this problem once and it was fixed by a new copy and a repair install.
