    I ran memtest and it didn't report any errors. I didn't run it to completion, but I did run it for an hour and a half and it seemed to be repeating its tests after a while, so I stopped it.

    Set a static amount of virtual memory, usually 1.5 times that of your total ram. In your case 768MB. I wouldn't recommend Windows having control over how big the swap file is.

    Also, try running your system with the cover open and try doing what froze your system before. Could be overheating.

    You seem to have a lot of computer problems, maybe you should try a new one?

    My range was 672 - 1344 MB, so I changed the range to 768 - 1024.

    I suppose it could be overheating - when it has froze, after a while, the fan starts to spin at its fastest speed. It is a laptop running on a P4M, which run hotter than the Centrinos, so that could very well be it.
