"Freezing"
Hi
my Win7 (RC7100 i think - it's on my home PC and I am at work) 'freezes'.
Let me explain, I turn on my PC, login and wait until all services have started. My CPU/RAM meter shows about 12% usage on CPU and 25% on RAM usage. I launch IE8 (a 5 tab-set homepage) and wait for it to load, completely.
When I then click on any link in one of those pages (my bank, Microsoft, a couple of music and general news pages) the screen, and mouse, just freezes. I can not move my mouse for up to 5 minutes.
Ctrl-Alt-Tab will NOT bring up Task Manager.
A few minutes, up to 5 minutes, later, system starts to work fine. And will for either short or long periods of time again then....just freezes again for up to - yep 5 minutes. No mouse action, no keyboard action, no Task Manager...
I have disabled all extensions, search and accelerators in Tools/Manage AddOns, but this doesnt seem to have helped.
I am using a Microsoft Laser 5000 wireless mouse and a Microsoft wireless keyboard. 2 separate wireless "receivers"...could this be the problem?
It's infuriating! Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
