Windows Randomly Freezes and Recovers
So I recently purchased a new HP pavilion laptop. It has a Core i7 Gen 3 processor, with NVIDIA GEFORCE 630M and a Broadcom wireless chipset. It came with Windows 7 and I upgraded it soon after purchase to Windows 8 using a promo offer. Well, now I am back to Windows 7 due to some crashes but I noticed this problem in both operating systems.
The system would hang completely, save for mouse movements (No clicks though) and I would not be able to do anything. The strangest thing is that within a minute or so, it would recover. I thought, initially, that the problem was with flash (And I use Google Chrome) so I changed the plugins option to on-demand and the problem still persists. I do have all the latest drivers for all the devices. I am wondering now if the problem is with either the Wireless card (Either wifi or bluetooth). I had a similar sort of problem isolated with Microsoft Word (Meaning only that application froze and recovered). My friend told me the he had the same problem on his Dell Laptop and disabled this particular bluetooth transmit addon which remedied the problem.
Now, I am disabling the Bluetooth network adapter and checking if the issue persists but I cannot do the same with the Wifi as that is quite necessary.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the problem and how I could rectify it? Thanks.
Here is my driverlist.txt from SF Diagnostics.
