Sometimes I can get to Windows and use my system for a while before this happens, and when it does, I can still move the mouse around but the system is unresponsive. I would appreciate any info on this.

I would advise to download and run the hard drive diagnostic programs from the respective manufacturer's homepages and see what the results are. You can find it under the support section of each manufacturer's homepage. Your description does sound very much like hard drive failure.
