Have installed all the available updates.
Were only recomended & optional ones available.
Update was already set to install important ones.
I'll see how that goes 1st before making any other changes.

771431 2009-05-06 11:17:00 Sometimes the actual problem is very obvious - click on the start button, type in performance From the results , click on Reliability and Performance Monitor On the left, under Monitoring Tools, click on Reliability Monitor, there you will see a graph - where there was a problem, it will show a red Circle with a white X " the fault will show below.

"Sometimes" its quite obvious what has happened, other times you go "yeah I know that" - if thats the case - Take note of the day/Time of the event, close that window, click start, type in eventvwr click it to open from the result. On the left, under Windows logs, expand out Application - locate the time and day, should be a fault /error there, once found, double click to open it - Copy/Paste the complete error message back here.

( You have to use Ctrl + C to copy, then right click/Paste or Ctrl + V)

If there is no fault in the Application log at the time, look in System Log.

EXAMPLE ONLY of an error message - this is when FF spat the dummy and threw its toys away then froze on this PC.
Faulting application firefox.exe, version 1.9.0.3399, time stamp 0x49f1091d, faulting module FOXITR~1.OCX, version 1.0.0.1, time stamp 0x495057f6, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00002c8e, process id 0x464, application start time 0x01c9cdc9459e27f0

The event viewer only had warnings so I won't worry about putting them in here at this stage.
Seems to be all good today.
Thanks for you help
