I have a problem where the screensaver causes the computer to freeze after some period of time. Nothing can be done but to reset the system.
OS is NT 4 Server
What could some of the possible causes be??
Thanks

Q? is this a new prob. or has it always done this?
Check the powersaving settings disable and see

check that all the drives are installed

Q. have you installed any new hardware(again drivers)

Is it a ceration SS eg OPENGL freezes the machine but not starfield.(vidio drivers)

I hope that helps but if not I have some other ideas.

We have experienced the same on our systems and my resolve was to go into the BIOS settings and turn off any "Power Saving" features. I have found conflicts with certain BIOSes and/or setting when it comes to Power Management and Microsoft OS. To resolve the conflict I let Microsoft control the power settings through its software instead of the hardware controlling the situation. Therfore, turn off (disable) all Power Saving" features in the BIOS and set the Power Options in Microsoft OS.
