system lock up

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Try running your system with Knoppix or with WinXP (via a separate hard
drive) and do a systematic elimination of faulty hardware which may be a as
simple as mouse/keyboard/external HDD . Since the problem has a random
repeatable nature it may be time consuming. Therefore least expensive
options may be tried first. First I will check memtest as much as can be
afforded / tolerated but not more than overnight. Second I will double check
external HDD then mouse/keyboard. After that (it can be a week) try other
expensive items. It can be as complex as CPU/mobo if ur solution is not
simple.
I hope U post the solution in detail when U arrive at by any means.
Wish U Good luck.
