So, my laptop has a tendency to freeze up for a while after leaving it for a little while (20 or 30 minutes, sometimes less). It doesn't always do it, but every once in a while it locks up pretty hard, and takes forever to start responding.
The screen will turn back on, but the mouse will be frozen (most of the time), or sometimes move around really jumpy before finally freezing in place somewhere.
I've noticed that the network activity light seems to be locked in the on state or sometimes flashes really slowly (compared to the quicker flashing it does when the computer is running normally).
Is there any way to track what exactly is happening when it locks up like that?
EDIT:
I've got a ton of error messages in the Event Viewer from ACEEventLog that seem to coincide with the time the computer locked up:

(That's only a partial log)
Installing newest drivers right now.
Hmm, still happening. Anyone know where I can send this shit to AMD and bitch them out for their drivers not working right? (And not just be a useless forum...)
