[Ham-Computers] WinXP hangs

[John McClain]

I have converted my Thinkpad that I use on Ham Radio over to Windows
XP PRO and ever since then I have been experiencing a system hang once
or twice a day.  No errors, no blue screens, just a hang and it always
happens when I am using the mouse.  It happens with various programs
including IE6. The systems is completely locked up, CTRL-ALT-DEL
doesn't work.  The only way out of it is to press the POWER button for
about 5 seconds until it finally powers off.  Once it is powered back
up again everything is fine until the next hang which will take at
least 8 hours.  Is anyone else having hang problems with XP Pro?
