So I just upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows XP.
Love the new operating system, except for one major flaw.
Programs keep freezing on me! Even windows items, like when I'm browsing through my pictures.

There's a few programs that ALWAYS freeze though, including Adobe Bridge and iTunes.
Sometimes they'll unfreeze, other times I have to manually force close them through the task manager.

My specs:
Windows 7 Pro installed on a 60gb Vertex 2 SSD
i7 2600k clocked at 4.0ghz
5TB of WD storage
16gb of Gskill Memory
OCZ StealthXstream 600w PSU
Water-cooled, and CPU idles at 25-26c

So I don't think it's my system causing it (not enough memory, overheating, etc...).
Has to be something internal with Windows.

ANY help would be appreciated.
I've tried doing research on this, and most of the answers I find are pointing it towards the lack of memory, which is not my case.

I don't blame you! There's a lot to read...

Okay, I ran Belarc.
What info do you need to see?

Oh, and I have tried only 2 sticks, and in different slots.
Same results.

My serial codes for my programs were in there though. :p
Needed to block them.

Plus, didn't want a super long post...formatting could have been off too.
Let me know if the info helps at all!

I'm not seeing a way to delete it, other than using the screenshots and blocking info.
I read through everything, and didn't really see anything else that was personal other than the serials.
Do you see something else I should block?

Just wanted to report that I finally found a fix for this.
Over a year and a half dealing with this issue, I finally decided to just bring it into professionals. Dropped it off at a place down the street. They had it for 2 days, ran tests, found nothing wrong with it, but had some ideas on the cause.
They gave me 2 programs to run on my computer, one for the cache (CacheBooster), the other was an SSD optimizer(SSDTweaker).
I don't know which one fixed my issue (I'm assuming the CacheBooster), but I no longer have those freezes!
And on top of that, the computer place didn't charge me anything. Hope this helps someone else dealing with this issue!
