i would try scanning for spyware using spybot or adaware. This may help. You may also want a ram optimzer.

Sometimes it just freezes when I open a browser or just by saving a file .... just anything simple. I don't have lots of programs open or anything.
I have spybot and ad aware, zone alarm and AVG virus program. I've checked for viruses and spyware and it shows nothing. I can't imagine why it is freezing, not all the time but enough to make me curious

how much ram do you have? do you have an optimizer? i sent you the link (bottom one). not really sure how effective these are, but i run one 24/7. May as well give it a try.

Thanks for the welcome

Any of you guys know Ontrack Fix it utilities and if so, have you tried it and what do you think of it if you did? I heard one time in the past it was a pretty good program with many options
