PC freezes 5-10 times on start-up
Greetings!
Windows 7 freezes (unresponsive mouse/keyboard or failed startup) 5-10 times every morning when I start up the PC or after an extended period in sleep mode. I have had 2-3 instances of BSOD accompanying the freeze. Freezes occassionally happen while watching a video or playing a web game, which is accompanied by a continuous clicking or beeping sound while mouse/keyboard becomes unresponsive.
These issues began roughly around 9/25/2012 after a fairly extensive Windows 7 automated update. nVidia 3-D viewer autoinstalled around that time as well. I have also had some issues with the graphics card heating up and shutting down while plaing 'Legend of Grimrock', which, according to their forums, has an ineffective frame rate limiter.
attached is the SF diagnostic compress file. I sincerely appreciate any advice!
