System freezing up

message from =?Utf-8?B?RG9u?= on 4 Jun 2004
After my computer sets idle for awhile or even if it doesn't,
the system freezes up & I have to reboot. I've downloaded
all the updates that are available plus I've run the upgrade
from the system CD, still have the problem. (XP Coorporate).

First, check Event Viewer (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tolls - > Event Viewer) for possible errors.

Then try switching to Never all options under Power Options/Settings (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options/Settings), disable Hibernation.

Do not to do a complete reinstallation. If nothing helps, just repost your problem and list of things you've already done.
