For some reason, my windows 2000 Advanced server
(professional did the same) locks up. it's not a process
that's taking up a lot of cpu or ram or anything. it just
locks up, when it's starting up and has the login screen
and when i'm just using it. I don't know why it does, but
if I let it sit frozen for 10 minutes it unfreezes for a
minute or 2 then freezes again. Any ideas why this
happends?
 
Lucas,

There's a whole host of possible reasons, and unfortunately this is not an
easy problem to diagnose.

It can happen when one thread owns an object and all other threads are
waiting on that object. I've seen some antivirus software cause that
problem.

Your first step should be to ensure that you're running current versions of
all drivers on your system. If the problem is sufficiently important, it may
be worth calling Microsoft support.
