I have a packard bell pc with a P4 2.8 , 512mb ram, 120gb HD and an
Ati Radeon 9200 AGP graphics card.

I have recently swapped the DVD burner but it had this fault beore and after in the same way so that rules it out.

Every 24 - 48 hours my pc locks up, the screen is perfectly frozen and it requires a reboot to restore it. I have also recently restored it back to factory os settings and this has not improved the situation. I have checked the fan and had a clean up inside to make sure its not heat related and I ran everest last month and temps seemed fine. Air vents are open and unrestricted.

What can I do to start to diagnose the fault?
