might get and run a temperature and fan speed program and see if possibly you are getting hot.

just for a precaution might blow the cob web and dust bunnies out of the computer. canned air is the way to go.

I use Speed Fan to monitor temps and fans.

I've been running Vista Ultima for several months. I think it's great EXCEPT
I'm encountering an occasional problem in which the system will freeze and I
cannot do anything except hold in the power button until the computer shuts
down.

The problem can happen while I was moving through normal dialog boxes but it
will almost always happen while playing solitaire. Very frustrating, you
just never know when the system will lock up.

The only programs installed on Vista are Microsoft Office 2003. No add-in
games, etc. I've upgraded the graphic driver (Radeon X1600 card) to one that
supports Vista and tried a different mouse - no help.

I'm seen this problem posted before but not seen any solutions.

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
