EDIT I am suspicious this is connected to when I installed Dameon Tools. I am doing a restore to the SPTD setup, my guess is it is messing with SSD? Hopefully this fixes it. More info below.
EDIT II: This has fixed it (leaving all this up in case anyone else runs across the problem and so that I can ask this question Dameon Tools did not work (is this related to the SSD?) any recommendations for mounting virtual drives? I am planning on taking much of my media with me when I move in ISO format to avoid having a jumble of discs...?
So for my thread about battery options I decided I would run on battery real quick to see what battery bare was saying. I switched it to stamina mode, and unplugged... and it shut off...
It would not turn back on until I, well I do not remember it was either removing battery and/or plugging AC back in. I had it working on AC so I took the battery out and put it back in, and when I reopened the screen it was frozen. I did a hard reset by holding the button in and it booted back up like everything was fine (on battery only) and the second I got Chrome open it froze...
Any ideas?
PS: In the frozen state the backlight keyboard and eject tray were working if that makes a difference.
PSS: This time instead of trying to reopen my closed windows in Chrome I just closed chrome, and when I tried to search for event viewer, it froze again (so I know it was not a chrome or browser issue).

Event viewer has an interesting array of errors.
1) [Error] Source: Eventlog, General: The event logging service encountered an error (res=1500) while initializing resources for channel Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhausting-Detector/Operational.
2) [Error] Source: Service Control Manager, General: The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness Service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start.
Next all the same as #2

11) [Error] Source: DistributedCom, General: DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments "" in order to run the server: ...(numbers)...
Rest the same, but different "numbers"
18) [Error] Source: Service Control Manager, General: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AFD, CSC.
If we jump down a ways...
[Critical] Source: Kernel-Power, General: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. (My first problem here)

Daemon's been getting 'iffier' the past few years. Malicious toolbar inclusions, virtual drivers which mess with other connected hardware for no reason (as you've experience above, and myself too with other custom-built machines) etc etc.
Try Slysoft (they're the people who brought you AnyDVD).
You're looking for Virtual CloneDrive.
http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html
It's freeware, and is very light and safe (works on my 5 year old Celeron machine wth 512MB of RAM). That installs a virtual driver too, but installation (or uninstallation for that matter) does not require restarts and tinkering of startup services, which Daemon demands.
Though VirtualCD doesn't read as many virtual discs as Daemon does (more 'can't read' or 'corrupt' errors). Anyways, give it a try; it might work perfect for your needs.
