I am running XP Pro, about a week ago (no new programs added) my
computer would start freezing up sometimes but not always which makes it
even more confusing. Usually but not always it's as I launch a program,
try to exit a program or when I try to exit windows itself..

I try Ctrl + alt+del and something in the background changes (like
behind the frozen program I cannot get out of, I can see my desktop
appear behind the program)....windows task manager MAY appear, if does
at that time it too may lock up. Whenever this 'freeze' occurs I cannot
leave windows, I have to shut off the power. Other times windows task
manager doesn't appear at all.....and yet other times when it will
appear and doesn't lock up, I click the frozen program to "end process"
and then windows itself locks up.
and yet I can launch it now and it works fine.. I have run my updated
anti-virus, done a chkdsk/r, run Spybot and No Adware....nothing is out
of order.
The memory does appear low at times.....
