Hi Everyone

My system is still freezing. Does anyone know if there are any tools 
that I can use to monitor my system? I found a web page that mentioned 
cpuhog memhog etc. does anyone know where I can get these? Are there any 
other logs that I should check?

Thanks

James

Hi Rob

spelled your name wrong, sorry. Welcome.
