Hello:

I have an HP computer that was running Vista nicely and smoothly. However, it appears after downloading and installing Vista SP 1, the computer has a tendency of "freezing" and the only remedy is to press the power button. I did notice that when the computer freezes, my second bay DVD drive flashes, and the activity light on the console, which indicates HD activity, constantly flashes.

It is a new HP Computer running Vista Premium Home. Any input would be great. This has caused me a lot of frustration and I am not sure of the remedy.
