I'm having intermittent crashes while I'm away from my computer.
The event log is not logging any faults I'm not sure why this is happening. I witnessed the (blue Sceen) checkdisk procedure running tonight, but I was not able to discover the cause. THis has happened intermittently for no rhyme or reason always while I'm away from my machine. Does anyone know what I should be looking at to find out the cause. Event Log is merely logging the bootup services and such, nothing prior to the crash. THere are no hardware conflicts or software that I can find. I ran defrag tonight as well. Figured it couldn't hurt. I can use some suggestions. This is a windows XP Pro O/S, version 2002, SP1. I've installed all the critical updates.

This issue sounds like the video driver needs updated.
You probably have a screen saver or standby mode
elected. When it goes into one of these modes it blue
screens. It does happen on Nvidia video cards goto
vendors website to update driver no auto update from
microsoft.
