In the past two weeks I've had my system lock-up twice. The first time
while web browsing, the screen suddenly went blank followed by a blue
screen and total freeze. The second time was last night while the
monitor and hard disks were powered off. I don't use hibernate mode, I
just have the power options set to turn the monitor and drives off
after an hour of inactivity. When I tried to wake them up today, I got
no response and had to power off/on the system.

I've had this PC for a couple of years and it's always been rock solid
until about two weeks ago. I regularly install the MS patches when
Windows update notifies me they're available.

I'm running the following:

XP Home Edition (ver 5.1.2600).
Dell Dimension 4550 2GHz with 1GB of RAM

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks.
