Oh no i completly forgot one thing... now i remember that i did NOT test the midnight freeze when i did the clean install of windows 7, because at the time i did the install it was morning and i didn't want to wait all day until midnight without the usual programs i use. BUT i did tried the clock changing trick, and it never worked... I also did test the 1 hour freezes, that's what i tested for SURE in a clean install, and it behaved exactly like it's doing now. Tomorrow maybe i will try doing the clean install again to see if this really happens, but i will use instead the image i did at the time i installed windows seven, i still have the system partition image i did with acronis true image when i did the clean install here in a file. But first i have to make one of my current partition, which takes about 1 hour.
hum... power fluctuation ? Well this doesn't happen in the first few days when i install windows xp, it's only only after a few days it starts happening i have no idea why...
Regarding internet issues, those 1 hour freezes DO happen even without the internet connected at all (i mean with the lan cable removed, since i have a router that connects via lan cable). The problem is, windows vista and seven already install the ethernet adapter drivers by default so i can't see if this is the cause of the freezes. In fact in windows xp when i install it i don't have the ethernet drivers installed right away.
It must be something related to hardware indeed, i see no other explanation.
