One thing that you don't say is wether or not the drive access light stayed
on when the machine froze.

I had a similar problem on a brand new SE 2/40 with quantum internal drive.
As it turned out, the drive was found to have some BAD sections on it and
froze whenever access was attempted to those intermittently BAD bits.

The supplier replaced the drive.

Hope this doesn't alarm you too much but your problem reads exactly like
mine was.

Mark.
