I've had a problem with the computer freezing up for some time, but
recently it's gotten worse.  At various intervals (from several minutes
to many hours) the machine just locks up and nothing works, the display
freezes, the mouse cursor freezes, etc even CTRL-ALT-DEL won't work, and
the only way to recover is to switch it off and reboot - letting it run
through Scan Disk, etc.  The machine is a 900 MHz Athlon with 256 MB, and
running Windows Me.  I keep current a copy of Norton's A-V so don't think
it's a virus.  I know there must be a zillion possible causes, but would
be interested in suggestions as to the more obvious places to start
looking.
