   I had a similar problem on a new machine recently albeit a completely   
   different spec to yours. In the end the problem appeared to be conflict   
   between XP and its many updates and the motherboard USB 2.0 interface. My   
   system would freeze like yours at random intervals even when in screen saver   
   mode. I have my keyboard connected via usb and it would appear that this was   
   causing the problem. Connecting it via the legacy PS/2 socket provided a   
   temporary solution. The permanent solution was to update the motherboard   
   drivers with the latest version which came out early November.   
      
   Clearly this could be absolutely nothing to do with your problem. You can   
   see a more detailed description of my problem in my post to this group on   
   14/10/06 to which I got no replies. So I offer you the above on the off   
   chance as I know how frustrating these problems can be.
