Windows XP Freezes

I've been having problems with my computer. It's brand new, just put it
all together yesterday. Specs:
AMD 3500+ 64 bit 1ghz
Asus A8N-Sli Premium
1 Gig stick of Crucial DDR400
Geforce 6800GT 256 mb GDDR3 PCI-X16
250 Gig Western Digital 16mb buffer SATA2
When I load up windows it does everything fine until I let it sit for
anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes and it freezes, I can see the screen but
keyboard lights go off and so does the mouse. Any suggestions?

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about
the problem

Probably hardware problem since you just installed windows, check your
BIOS settings.
