Well, I found the part in the manual that said in the Windows device manager you should either set system sounds to off or check "preferred devices" and have your other soundcard chosen to play system sounds. After I did that I had no more problems with my system freezing up. It might be a coincidence, but I had the problem about twice a day for three days before I did it.
