It seemed as if the freezing had stooped, but perhaps I was mistaken. It seems to happen whenever I go idle and I'm not so sure if spyware is the issue. Could it be hardware?

Edit: After looking online I've been hearing that it could be my Power Supply. I have a ATX12V 450W Power Supply.

Read that to find out how to test your psu. I don't know if that is the real issue though.

It might be malware, and you should check out the guide: http://www.geekstogo...uide-t2852.html
If you have a feeling it might be malware, you could post your logs and the techs could look them over, to see if malware is the issue.

Are you overclocking any hardware? (cpu, graphics card?)

Try doing the things entailed in this article.

Here's a scan I ran and to my knowledge I'm not overclocking anything. I've also already turned off "indexing".

His logs are clean, I highly doubt its malware related

couple of things to try...go to the power options in the control panel and set hibernate and standby to never...same for hard disks...
OK your way out reboot...
when it hangs...if you let it set for 5 or 10 minutes can you resume working...
can you post a screenshot of your processes for us when you have ALL your normal things going...click on the cpu at the top to get the ones that are using the most resources to the top of the list....drag the window open to get it all before getting the screenshot..

I waited 5-10 minutes after my pc froze froze and it restarted. This is the 1st time this has happened, so I'm unsure if this is always the case.

[edge2022]

Do you know what is using the process searchindexer.exe? I have seen that process cause some problems like yours.
Do you have itunes installed?

[happyrock]

by restarted do you mean you could use it again to do something... like move your mouse ect...please just post the screenshots here as the image you have only takes me to imageshack...and nothing is there...

when you have the screen up that you want to capture...click on the PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload...
then after typing any response you have... click on browse...desktop...find the screenshot..select it and click on the upload button...then on the lower left...after it says upload successful...click on add reply like you normally would...

Itunes is installed and I'm think the process called searchindexer is from a program installed by windows update.

I also reuploaded the image of my processes on photobucket.

[edge2022]

Try teminating the searchindexer process, and monitor your computer if it comes back.
That might solve your problem. When the computer freezes, observe task manager, and see what is acting up.

[Kuronishi]

When it freezes I can't do anything. I can't move the mouse or have use of the keyboard.
