Just an idea but what firewall software are you using?

'I have no wisdom,' he told her.
'Your experiences, then?'

I'm using Comodo x64 Try disabling it. Also, have you disabled Windows firewall? If you run two firewalls simultaneously, they tend to get in each other's way.

Since deleting the DB file in question someone recommended doing, I haven't had any freezes touch wood. But it's so random it could still happen but will wait and see. I thought that myself and turned Windows Firewall off earlier, push comes to shove I may revert to Windows 7.
Edit.
Nope still does it haha, good grief.

You presume wrong.

So you reinstalled the OS? In that case you can't eliminate a software problem as the cause. If you had cloned the disk that would be less likely.

So you didn't copy the hard disk, you didn't re-install operating system, and you refer to "the" hard disk rather than "a" hard disk.
I give up. I'm sure that you are telling us something useful but I have no idea what it is.
My experience with thousands of computers is that if a hard disk has errors the SMART counters will show those errors. And, as I have a couple of those disks myself I know that they are SMART enabled (and extremely reliable). Repeated short freezes in Windows almost always have a software cause - it is at least sensible to investigate that
possibility.

Why would you think I would leap to install a new hard disk with a new operating system or clone a potentially dodgy installation to a new disk in the first instance when SMART utilities werre reporting there was nothing wrong with the disk? I assumed that this was a software issue and did the obvious; I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS. That produced the exact same result. After replacing the disk (the new disk worked flawlessly) I decided to check the old one on OS X before disposing of it. Then and only then did SMART report it as failing. I have no idea why this happened, but clearly it is not safe to assume that because SMART is saying all is well that it actually is.

Ah well, it was worth a try. You could try installing the Win7 drivers for this board.
