So, while I'm browsing my computer, after sometime it will "freeze up". My mouse cursor will stop moving and I can no longer use the keyboard.

Any recommendations?

Make sure to post your system specs. What kind of PSU do you have and how old is it?

Run memtest overnight at some point to check RAM health:

Run the portable zip edition of CDI to check HD health:

Turns out the problem was fixed by updating to the latest Windows preview build. Thanks anyway.
