Windows XP Freezes

I've been having problems with my computer. It's brand new, just put it
all together yesterday. Specs:
AMD 3500+ 64 bit 1ghz
Asus A8N-Sli Premium
1 Gig stick of Crucial DDR400
Geforce 6800GT 256 mb GDDR3 PCI-X16
250 Gig Western Digital 16mb buffer SATA2
When I load up windows it does everything fine until I let it sit for
anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes and it freezes, I can see the screen but
keyboard lights go off and so does the mouse. Any suggestions?

Probably hardware problem since you just installed windows, check your
BIOS settings.
