R# is hanging VS and it is driving me crazy

I updated yesterday but the problem is worse. It's happened 3 times this morning already and I had to restart the 3rd time. All I'm doing is typing. That is all I am doing. Then VS just stops. Your little hammer icon moves up and down on the screen as I move the mouse wheel. The screen does not scroll. The place where the cursor was kind of blinks a few times, the screen get translucent white, the title bar may or may not say Not Responding. Sometimes in 20 or so seconds or so it may come back - but I have been restarting VS 10 times a day because of this. What the H can I do to help you fix this? Guys - your product is supposed to help us - not hinder us. I hate complaining but 5 minutes after I get in this morning and I'm having trouble with your products. I know. I should just shutup, uninstall it and go away. I am trying to keep you on my good side. But I am seeing no increase in performance - but am seeing degradation. I'm getting tired of being frustrated that I cannot work my normal workflow. I have a 6/12 core, 48 Gig machine. IT IS NOT THE HARDWARE. And once again - all I am doing is typing.
