Hi,

I have WinXP Proff with Service pack 2 installed on my laptop
(Thinkpad A31 ). The computer hangs up (display and keyboard) after
some time (varies from 5mins to 45mins) and I cannot do anything but
restart the computer.
The only way to prevent this problem is if I plug in a USB mouse!

Things I have tried so far are: reduced hardware acceleration,
switched off and on system restore, uninstalled and reinstalled
network cards (the computer has a regular and a wireless card in it).
I have updated all the drivers as far as I can tell. In the safe mode
I DO NOT see this problem.

This problem only started a few weeks ago and I’m at my wits end and
would appreciate any suggestions.
 
I would check for loose ram chips, or cables. Laptops get banged around.
