The Weirdness that is my computer

[Lorake]

If hitting or moving your desktop is fixing the freezing, then the hdd with windows on it is dying. It's probably a header going bad. Go buy another hdd and transfer your important data before it stops reading completely.

Already bought a new HD. Thought that was the reason, so I went ahead. Couldn't think of any other CPU part that would even restart/resume if you shake it.
