Running WindowsXP home.
All of a sudden the past 3 nights the monitor freezes with blank desktop and
start button/task bar at the top w/no icons or clock. Only happens at night.
Ctrl/Alt/Del
does nothing but show where the arrow is. Have been unplugging modem and
restarting computer. Turned off automatic updates, ran spyware and antivirus.
Everything I've checked (video,graphics,drivers etc.) says there working ok.
Can't figure out how to fix this.
Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks
