So I noticed this after I changed my start up processes but I have not suspected that to be the problem mainly because these freezes occur long after I turn the laptop on.
I am running Windows 7 and the freezes are ones where it requires for me to press down on the power button on my laptop to manually shut it down. Capslock/wifi/mute button lights are unresponsive.
Here is the list of start up programs that I have enabled and disabled:

Apologize for that wall of text. Is there anything that I need to turn on to eliminate these freezes?
I ran the registry cleaner multiple times before and the freezes still continue to occur.
