When i saw your message, it was something of a relief, I was even thinking about a hardware problem, sometimes it freezes for so long and so much it even doesn't allow me to switch to one of the consoles. Sometimes I could not wait, and just reset the computer. Now I know it might be something else besides hardware (I have run Memtest+ for more than 24h and nothing showed up).
