Hi everyone.
I've been suffering an issue with XBMC for as long as I can remember (At least with Atlantis, Babylon, Camelot, Dhama, Eden) and its really difficult to explain. However, I will give it a go.
PC SPEC
Intel Quad core Q8200
Nvidia Geforce 9600GT
6GB RAM
Windows 7 x64
My Windows PC is left on 24/7. XBMC gets closed when not being used.
After a fresh reboot, XBMC runs smooth as butter with no issues at all.
After maybe 3-4 days, I notice lockups ONLY in XBMC whenever I navigate to a file browser. (i.e browing videos in files mode, or changing a music fanart).
This lockup starts off short (~5sec) but the more days the PC is on, the greater duration the lockups occur for. Right now its 19 seconds. PC's been on for about a week.
After the lockup unfreezes I can use the file browser (navigate/leave/enter etc) for about another 30 seconds before the lockup happens again.
When this issue starts happening it presents itself at XBMC startup with the same delay (I expect XBMC is trying to access the file system for something upon launch)
Now, if I reboot my PC, the above cycle starts again. All goes fine for a few days before lockups occur.
During the time I have had this problem I have rebuilt my PC several times (complete format and re-install windows), and as mentioned above, it has effected me with all versions of XBMC that I can remember.
Here is a debug log of me launching XBMC and waiting for 19 seconds (Lockup) with a black screen before my home sceen appears and then imidiatley exiting XBMC.

The freeze obviously happens at the point in the log where the time goes from 18:58:36 to 18:58:55
I hope someone can shed some light on my issue. I dont use UAC in Win7 and I am the Administrator/Only User. but I can't see this being any kind of permissions problem as XBMC runs fine for days.
I look forward to any response
Thanks in advance
