My computer freezes or hangs if I don't use it for
approximately 15 minutes. The computer icons disappear
from my desktop and my desktop background is the only
thing on the screen. In addition, my mouse pointer
disappears.
 
Go to a clear place on the desktop screen. Right click
and go to properties. Go to screen saver / power saver.
Turn all of the power saver items off. If this fixes it
turn each one back on, one at a time. When you find the
one that is causing the problem, download a better driver
for it.
