you might have to reformate your hard drive. The hardware
will not give you a blue screen unless taken out during
while system is running. Hope you find another way but
the only other way to fix the freezes is the chkdsk. The
only thing you said it always gave out errors. Does the
computer freeze the programs or the whole computer? Well
good luck. I will see if I can find more of an answer.
