System locks up !

[David Platt]

I'm running "Windows EP Professional" & have a recurring
fault:
The cursor & all keys become non responsive, the only way
to get out of the problem is to re-boot.
Sometimes one re-boot is enough, sometimes it may take as
many as ten !
The problem is completely random, it can be several days
between "lock ups" or it can be several times a day.
It will happen at various stages of boot up, or after
having used the system for sometime.
Anything not saved prior to "lock up" is lost, so as you
can imagine, it's very frustrating.

Anybody got any suggestions please ?

Thanks

David

Sounds like you have an Overheating problem. Check and make sure all your
fans are running. Get a program like
Motherboard Monitor or CPUCool. http://mbm.livewiredev.com/download.html
http://www.podien.onlinehome.de/CPUCOOL.HTM With these programs you
can monitor the voltages of your
Power Supply and the Temps. Your CPU should not be running hotter than
70 degrees Centigrade.
