    Well, you really only told us that you have intermittant "freezes"
    and the event long has repeated consistent errors.
    Not much to go on really. What are the errors, and how does
    the freezing look&feel.
    For example, when the UI halts, and the mouse might later do
    some jerky catch-up, and the hard disk light is busy, and the
    event log is recording ATAPI errors is often a sign of a soon
    to fail hard disk.
