Lads: I have recently become the next person in line to inherit the problem of a machine which freezes up about every 20 minutes, and requires a total restart to regain function. AMD 750 Via KT-133 chipset BCM133KT MB Prophet MX 32 video card Win Xp Pro SP1 all requisite drivers, flashes, etc. I am reasonably told that this is a power management issue but I simply don't know where to start the problem solving process. Any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated. thanks, tps
