Hey everyone, thanks for the advice last month. I had a chance to try it all out (first with Safe mode, then with disabling startup programs one by one) and found the culprit(s):
* Killer Network Manager (one of the proprietary software with MSI gaming laptops) - with this disabled, it freezes up a LOT less, but still occasionally freezed up
* Nahimic UI Interface (also proprietary MSI software - with this alone disabled, it almost never froze up - working for hours, days, etc., but it did freeze up maybe once or twice)
With both disabled at the same time, I haven't experienced one freeze-up yet... so both apparently contribute to some extent to the problem. The interesting thing about the Nahimic, is that there are two to three other startups processes/services related to it, but they don't seem to interfere... only the UI Interface seems to cause the problem. It's a nice piece of software for regulating sound with different devices, but by no means necessary to get good sound. Similarly, with the Killer Network Manager, it doesn't really bother me, because I very rarely have an internet connection and even then, it's a metered connection, so I don't need the fancy no-lag stuff since I don't do online gaming. The much better thing is that now I can use Calibre as much as I want and get all my work done! Much better now!
Anyway, just letting you all know. If you have a list of known incompatibilities, then maybe you can add these to it.
