Hello again reporting the days troubles. One day went by with no PC freezing and everything working fine but, not to be fooled, the following day all **** broke loose.
I have hard booted about 10 times after PC froze on me at various times of execution.
Then i got the BLUE SCREEN with a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION STOP:0x0000003B on STDRIVERX64.SYS
I am now in safe mode with networking.
i run sfc /scannow which found no problems
Seems that nothing of what we have done so far has been serious enough to cure the RANDOM FREEZING problem.
Looking at the Event logs while in safe mode, i get a bunch of errors of the type:
"The Computer Browser service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start."
