Hi!

I have a strange issue with my Dell Latitude E6400. I'm running Windows Vista and my system is freezing randomly, once a while. First my mouse starts to freeze, then the whole system and finally my screen turns black; it takes just a few seconds to recover to normal state. After that, I get a message on the right bottom of my screen, at the taskbar, saying that the display driver has recovered, and another one saying that a drive is connected (I guess my internal HD) by a message and an icon corresponding to the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

Does anyone know what might cause that issue? Is it hardware related or just a driver issue, or another Vista bug?

Thanks!
