Client locks up computer while downloading Blockchain #1320

Hi,
I've been trying to get my bitcoin client to work now for some time. I am running windows 7 x64 enterprise. Every time I uninstall and reinstall the bitcoin-qt client, I get part way through downloading the blockchain and the whole machine locks up. Can't move the mouse, can't use the keyboard. I end up doing a hard reset to get the computer back up. This only happens when the bitcoin client is downloading the blockchain. Bitcoin is the only program running also. During normal use I have no other issues. I just reinstalled the whole machine last week, and it has all updates and such...

What can I do? I am running the latest client as well. 0.6.2

I'm about to try pywallet and see if I can move it to a different client.. Very frustrating. Any help greatly appreciated!
