Thanks ahead of time for any help given!
Computer keeps freezing after working for short periods of time. Internet Explorer and Firefox do. I have not used any other programs for extended periods. They slow to a snails pace and then freeze, but eventually respond after a minute or two. The browsers minimize themselves and then maximize. This just started this morning.
I looked at the Event Viewer and this is what I believe the problem is, but I'm not that good with computers. Here are the two event ids that i believe are the culpirate:
