Hi

Do you get any error messages? Are they any entries in the Event Viewer
that may point to freezing problem?

I was reading in PC Magazine that MS has implemented overflow
protection in SP2 (if you cpu can handle it). That is if the system
detects that there will be a buffer overflow, it will lock the system,
and not allow the buffers to be overrun. This may be what is happening
to you.
