Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny M83 Hangs and Freezes frequently

Scenario:

We got 10 of those new machines with Windows 7 x64. Systems freeze randomly, forcing us to turn on and off the system

Resolutions:

After troubleshooting, it turned out that the Lenovo Active Protection System was the software causing it to appear frozen. Since those machines are tiny, when they feel a movement of the desktop, the Active Protection software stops the hard drive to protect it...computer freezes completely. Kind of stupid design!

Uninstall software from Control Panel and reboot. You should be good now.
