Been having a problem with my system freezing up. This
only happens when I'm out on the internet for more than 5
minutes. Everything else is working fine. The system
freezes solid- no mouse or key stroke possible - and
Ctrl/Alt / Delete does not work either.

I have unistalled and reinstalled Windows twice and have
installed all the security updates and patches. I'm
running System Suite firewall and virus protection and
work on a cable modem. I have tried Opera, Netscape and
IE6 and get the same results.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate your help.
