Windows 7 getting stuck while operating

[aslamdj]

Hello,
I'm using
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz
2GB RAM, Win7 64bit, 160GB HDD, Geforce 9400GT.

Recently my PC is getting stuck for no reason. while browsing,watching a movie, when i leave it idle for a while its getting stuck. screen is as it was n I cannot move the cursor, keyboard isn't working. then I restart it manually and go to the option "start windows normally"or smthin.

this happened previously and I thought it has smthin to do with my HDD, but I checked it n re installed win7 64bit. it was working normally for abt 3 months and now it started again.

can anybody pls help me out here.

Could very well be your HDD. Reformatting it and installing Windows doesnt necessarily mean its good. COuld be it gets to a certain point on the platter and it starts having issues. Run diagnostic software on it, go to your manufacturers site and download it and run it.

I done a 7 x64 build with 4gb memory, and it would regularly run out of memory and freeze the desktop in place indefinately. Add more memory.
