Windows XP stops responding

I have been running Windows XP Pro on at MSI M/B K7T266 Pro2 with a AMD 1700XP Processor and 256 Memory. The problem I have been seeing is Window XP Pro seems to stops responding intermittently, the keyboard does not work and the mouse pointer is still on the screen and can be moved. Pushing the reset button on computer will reset system and computer will again work for days until it stops responding again.
Has any one else see problems like this?

Hi,

Yep, I've seen this and I find that its actually hanging on the IE somehow.

If you've got the same problem as me, you can often bring it back by starting up another browser or sometimes from going to task manager (ctrl-alt-del) and "switching to" the browser session that is displaying as "not responding" or even another "ok" browser.

I'm not sure what causes it but its only a minor annoyance for me. It happens maybe a couple of times a day and fixes itself usually within a few seconds of playing with it...

If this isn't the problem you're seeing, then post back here and I'll see if there is something else specific to your problem.

Hopefully someone else has a more permanent fix to this.

Cheers,
Tim.
