My wifes has a problem where if you leave it for 3 to 5 mins with not
activity it freezes up. she games on it she can play hours at a time
with no problems but as soon as she walkes away it freezes. any ideas?
I suppose the list of possible causes of freezeups is extremely large.
Two causes in my personal experience have been "flakey" hardware
and partition managers. In the first case I once owned a cheap
motherboard that caused frezeups when run at its rated clock rate.
Only if the clock rate was reduced slightly would the computer run
"freezeup free".
In the second case, only when I removed a second partition from my
hard drive would my current machine run "freezeup free". My clue
here was that a cloned drive worked fine ... so I knew the problem
was associated with my normal working hard drive (or something I
had done to it like create a second partition).
