However, the most common cause of Window's PC "freezing up", by far and
away, is a software conflict....

Hardware conflicts usually result in the PC freezing very soon after start
or being unable to start at all!!

Check any recently installed software.

Pay particular attention to exactly WHAT was going on / you were doing,
when the "freeze" occurred.

On reboot, take a look in the Event Log for any additional clues.

Thanks Tim

I thought that too. But I have dual bootable hard drives and it
happened with either drive booted. As a further test, I have
disconnected one of them and am running solely from the other.
So far no freeze. This AM though when I powered up I heard a slight,
unusual, sound coming from the CPU fan. I wonder if the fan is
binding up and CPU heat is the culprit. I need to watch that, and I
can since the tower is running with the cover off.
