   XP stopping

   I have a new machine with XP SP2 installed and the system just freezes for   
   no apparent reason. There is no pattern to it sometimes it will happen more   
   than once a day sometimes it will go as long as a week without stopping.   
   When it freezes it will not respond to anything but the restart button.   
   After a restart I can go back to what I was doing at the time and carry on   
   as if nothing had happened. I have looked in the event viewer but there are   
   no faults indicated and as far as I can see nothing was running in   
   background at the time. I am new to XP and not got to grips with it yet. Is   
   there anyway I can trace what is causing the system to freeze. I have   
   managed to crash the system once so far but it restarted itself as I have   
   autorestart switched on but this clearly is not being triggered by whatever   
   is freezing the system.
