|  Programs Stalling in Vista
I'm having serious problems with induvidual programs freezing in Vista. This started suddenly yesterday. Programs will work for a couple of minutes before freezing. Sometimes they return to normal after 30 seconds or so, but just as frequently they become 'stuck' for good.
I ran a full scan with AVG free and it has picked up nothing. |

Check your temps. Download a free program to monitor those temps and see if maybe your CPU/GPU is overheating.

How can I find out if my CPU is overheating? | |

No, temps as in temperatures.
CoreTemp, RealTemp, etc. are good ones for CPU temps.
For GPU, just use RivaTuner or ATiTool.

Does anything seem out of the ordinary? | |

I don't know anything about hardware, but I'm fairly sure that the room is warmer that 11 degrees celcius. Could the readings be wrong? | |

Try RealTemp, or boot into your BIOS and check to see if it gives temp readings there.

Yea that's a false reading, any active processor should have put out more heat than that.
