There might be other stuff, but I'd definitely get rid of any searchqu (toolbar related) entries.

Then do the usual scans: Ccleaner, antivirus etc

Figment

When it crashes, do you get a Blue Screen of Death?

No it will not do anything and when you press any button it makes a noise.

Figment

So it's freezing rather than crashing?

Probably due to the sheer number of programs you have running at startup.

It could be running 5 mins or 5 hours before it freezes.

How do I view the programs I have running at startup?
