no , it's not a bad windows setup as i've been using this windows on other 3 PC's not to mention 2 years on this laptop since i bought it.
However, after checking up my event viewer logs i has having a frequent error 11 addressing some ide or whatever i don't recall the exact error. i've mananged to fix my problem by entering in BIOS setup and changing SATA settings from AHCI to IDE. I've reinstalled windows as it came up with a blue screen due to the change. After i reinstalled my problem vanished. So in my case it's a faulty controller, but i've managed to bypass this by switching from AHCI to IDE. Don't know how your operating system works or what the problem might be, but for me that fixed what've i encountered. No more freezes, and to be honest, although some say that IDE is slower than AHCI couldn't notice not even a slight performance difference. peace
FYI: OS X requires AHCI.
