Win 2k lock ups? Any ideas?

[kyle99]

I am having system lock ups when my PC is idle. Seem to be releated to active desktop, but maybe not. I get the restore active desktop screen after reboot. It is either locking when my screen saver turns on or when i turn it off. I think it may be both.

My system:
Celeron 566@852mhz
Abit BH-6
Prophet II MX (great for the money) Not overclocked yet! 6.27 det 3 drivers
SB LIVE gamers X
196MB ram

1. NO it is not the CPU it is rock solid! I can run quake loops and other system test for days with no lock ups. Could even go higher if I had better ram.

2. I think this is a bios issue. Setting I mean. Maybe AGP setting or something.

IDEAS?

Thanks all,
Kyle

What screensaver and/or have you tried switching screensavers?

Any cause this. Even the basic lock the workstation one.

If I turn them off everything is fine, other than it hangs on shutdown. (doesn't turn the PC off)
