so I was having this problem still until today when I had another butchers on the net for people with similar problems. Came across a guy who also has an HP laptop and he mentioned going through msconfig, unchecking certain processes etc at a time which I had already done, just not very thoroughly because, let's face it, doing that shit is boring as boring ass. However, he deducted that it was Windows Search causing the problem on his machine. So I've disabled that and touch wood, it appears to have sorted the problem, posting now from a normal bootup, it's been at least half an hour etc since I booted up, which is at least 15-20 minutes longer than it's gone without freezing since this problem started etc. Any idea why Windows Search could have given me so much grief? Pretty strange.
