George,

I maintain a very healthy system. The only problems I've ever had on this
machine have been with ChessBase and Shredder. I think I may have solved the
problem though. Something in the "My Games" database was causing the program
to hang, to use up 90-99% of CPU time, and mis-allocate memory. Since I've
cleaned up the database this hasn't happened -- it's been over a day now,
and I've opened CB 3-4 times. By now it should have "hung" at least once.

Angelo,

That's not supposed to happen to a healthy Windows XP system. When a
XP system freezes it is usually do to a hardware or device driver
problem.

Do you have all the most recent OS patches and device driver updates?

Best regards,

George
