Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately there was a message on the screen
after the third lockup   that ask if I wanted to eliminate the standby
mode. I clicked "yes" and this option is no longer available in the Power
Management Setup screen.

What else should I look for or try?

Are there any clues in the Registry? I have Norton System Works 2000 and
Fix-it 99 Utilities.

Thanks.
