After a few sessions same thing. Dealer said to remove and reinstall AVAST antivirus..did that helped for awhile back to same problem.
Then took unit back to dealer they did a deep virus removal and that seemed to help for about 2 weeks, then, bingo, froze up again! Really frustrating.took it back once again and dealer gave me a new Hard Drive, ghosting my old one...we will see. Dealer has been very helpful but who knows if this will be ultimate solution or do I simply have a "lemon"
Question? anyone had similar experience, possible solutions? or cause?

Thanks



Hello Score - what operating system are you using? I have had similar problems with VISTA - moved over to Windows 7 and, presto - no more problems.
