Steven,

Thanks for your reply. I guess I am not familar with using
ALT-CTRL-NUMLOCK for anything. I will give it a try.

I do not think it is a heating problem, unless it is because of cold
components inside the box. Usually, my hang occurs the first time I turn
on the computer in the morning after a night of rest.

I will look for a BIOS upgrade for my MB. I don't know though. I almost
rather pop it a new MB than fool around with a BIOS upgrade. I'll see
though how easy or hard it is.

Harry
