Windows XPpro Freezing

[cover]

My Dell Dimension 8400 w/Windows XPproSP2 is suddenly freezing up. It
starts with the mouse freezing but keyboard works fine and is capable
of Ctrl, Alt, Del functions and so on. I was pretty sure it was a
wearing mouse situation until I noted that under normal circumstances,
I have to push and hold the on/off/reset button for approximately 30
seconds before the machine will shut off. When it freezes, it only
takes a momentary push of a couple of seconds to reboot the machine.

My mouse is a Logitech optical mouse and my wife recently noted that
the red 'LED' wasn't as visible as it once was which makes us wonder
if the mouse is 'wearing out' and causing the problem as it goes.

I've run some decent spyware and virus software and not picked up
anything so again, am wondering if my mouse is crashing the system
(since it's the first and really, only thing that doesn't seem to want
to move on the screen) or perhaps a power supply is failing in the
machine, etc.

thanks for any replies.

Hi cover,

Try a chkdsk /r on your system drive. After thats done and rebooted, check
the Application event log for event ID 1001 (winlogon). Here you will find
the results of the chkdsk /r (repair).

Kind of odd, when I click 'control panel', 'administrative tools',
'event viewer' and 'application', I see the following AVG7 error and
don't even have it on my system any longer.

"Event Type: Error

Yet when I look for the key through 'regedit', it doesn't seem to
exist. Not sure if it would be a fatal error but it does stand out as
the glaring red X.

When I click 'system' instead of 'application', I see the following
error, again the glaring red X (seemingly meaning a significant issue)

From what I've read about MRxSmb though, don't know that it would
create the frozen mouse level of error. Something else I noted this
morning on a freeze up, I WAS able to use my keyboard (alt key
w/proper keys) to reboot the computer - seemed more like a mouse
issue. Replaced it tonight so we'll see. I WOULD like to get the
AVG7 error off the radar though. Will probably contact AVG to see if
they'll help.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.
