Beginning after my last update, the system randomly slows to an unusable crawl. To be specific, I can move the mouse about 1 inch every 5-10 seconds but can't click on anything and keyboard shortcuts don't work. Have to do a hard reset. The following is posted in the sys log prior to every restart. Maybe that will help.
