Anatomy of a hang

I'd bet my bippy it is power related. Since the sound card failed around the same time I suspect you got a surge when moving things. Maybe it just juiced the mobo a bit too much or the power supply took a knock. Power supply failures are a total bitch to solve. I had one on an old machine... the only time it froze was when I loaded a page with flash. I have no idea why flash did it, but it did. New computer, same general setup = no problems. Power issues manifest in really really strange ways.
