Well... guess what. This is happening to me now! Although I'm not running Opera.

Applying a hotfix but no idea whether it is directly related or not. Will let you know how it goes and details on the hotfix.

I still haven't figured out the course, I still seem to be having DMA issues, listening to music is almost impossible when copying files/accessing the drive. Other night I had some music on and wasn't doing anything else, yet it still happened. At least the random lock ups haven't come back.
It could be an issue with the drive itself or the controller.

My specific problem is related to Google Chrome. I think I've found the source of the problem, which is a result of "Advanced Browser Integration" being enabled in Internet Download Manager which does not agree with Chrome and in turn, causes explorer.exe related processes to freeze.

I'm still in test phase but so far so good, so if you're running IDM check it out.

What are you experiencing exactly? There's slightly different stories going around.

For me, it seemed as if Windows only partially froze. The taskbar froze, Chrome froze, but if I had music playing it would continue. I could also Alt+Tab and do a few other minor tasks. In short, it didn't entirely freeze. If left long enough, it would also return to normal state. Almost like it was a severe lag.

Do you use IDM?

Re: Who else uses Windows 7 64 bit?

Sup simon, i used to have an issue like that and by doing some research it ended up being an application that was causing the lockups.
I used a program called DPC latency checker, which analyzes the capability of the computer of handling data streams and enables you to troubleshoot by shutting down programs and/or disabling hardware via device manager.

hope you sort it out

^^ this.

If you have stuttering issues of some sort get this program and troubleshoot untill you find whats causing the issue.

I tried it and it uncovered nothing. The reinstall did it some good anyway.

Chrome has started to become unresponsive on Youtube now. I'm really thinking its a Flash issue but I can't be 100%.
