Solved Computer freezing up during web-browsing and standard use

When I set up a new install of any Microsoft OS, I always run a bunch of batch files and scripts, to customize Windows for safety and efficiency. One of the files I run is called simply "Show all Files". So every file in the HD shows up in its full form.


There are a ton more, but that's food for a different day.;)


Cheers Mates!

931GB Seagate ST1000DM 003-1SB10C SCSI Disk Device (SATA ) 33 °C -- is this a hybrid drive?
111GB KINGSTON SCSI Disk Device (SATA-2 (SSD)) 30 °C -- is this the drive that contains your OS? How much free byte space? Earlier, you mentioned "defragment" -- which drive was defragged?
I'm old school, just fishing for anything out of the ordinary. :)

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 is installed on the 931GB Seagate which is my C drive.

I don't think my 931GB Seagate is a hybrid drive but i am not completely sure and after searching around the internet for a bit I didn't find anything specific to suggest it is.

931GB Seagate has 863.413.084.160 byte in use and 136.550.928.384 byte left as of right now.
111GB KINGSTON has 97.787.904 byte in use and 119.933.751.296 byte left as of right now.

I defragged both the 931GB Seagate and 111GB KINGSTON, I defrag both once every 3-4 months or so.

That's fine i'll try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities.

Since this thread has gone silent for a long while now i think it's about time i close it down, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me figure out the issues and there has been a tiny improvement in performance, I am most likely going to do a full factory recent sooner or later, Once again thanks everyone.
