Thanks Richard. Is there a way the problem can be diagnosed? Isolated?

Random freeze-ups are usually caused by a hardware problem - bad memory, bad
power supply, or a failing or failed cooling fan somewhere in the system are
the most common causes.

I have: Win ME, use Foxfire, no viruses (PCcillin), no spyware (AdawareSE
and SpyBot), recently deleted internet temp files and ran scan disc and
defrag.
For a couple of weeks, my computer has been locking up. It doesn't seem to
be application specific. I can't even esc or ctrl alt del---have to
manually
turn power off CPU and reboot.
I never have gotten an error message.
The latest thing I downloaded was TurboTax---which by the way is a piece
of
crap. I uninstalled it. And I recently downloaded "Registry Mechanic."
Any ideas?
