In the last few days, My computer suddenly freezes up after 20-40 minutes after start up. Tried De-Frag, and getting rid of the "trash". still doing it. Windows task manager says I have 40 processes going, 2%-8% of CPU usage. Have run all my spyware stuff too. Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks!
