What BIOS are you using?

What Drivers are you using?

I recommend at least BIOS 1004, and the .32 Drivers

When you say it hangs for a long tme, do you mean it won't accept any user
input? Like from the mouse/keyboard? What about the num lock light, does
that operate in thse periods of hang?

I can't really think of any particular reason for that type of problem...
it's a bit strange.

the mouse can move and i can use other programs for another few seconds and
then nothing but the mouse and i must hard reboot

Very odd indeed. I would go for a full driver reinstall... boot to safe
mode, remove ALL devices from device manager (about 5 top-level devices will
remain) and then reboot. It's fairly drastic, but might work.

Otherwise a repair install of Windows might be easier for you and should
achieve the same task in "less dangerous" manner.
