I've got Norton 360 too, it catches everything.

When I get that symptom it is almost always either too much stuff on the hard drive, or too much shit running in the background. If you have virtual memory turned on and there isn't enough room on the drive for it to use, you'll get crashes. I've also had registry issues do that. Something gets corrupted.

I almost always have a lot open at once (order entry app, excel with 4 files open, ie with 3-5 tabs, windows media player), but usually only music is "running" in the background. That load didn't cause problems, and I haven't increased the load recently. Saturday, I clicked "print" and the computer shut off, and it's been intermittently freezing since. Monday, the back up power supply died. Tuesday, I went to the computer store.
