I had the same problem for months, System kept freezing sometimes 15-20 times a day, mouse, k/b etc. was innoperable, I had to reboot using the restart button on the case. In my case it was caused by an ACPI? conflict. Apparently there was a conflict between W2K and my Bios both trying to control the ACPI controller, causing the system to hang. My problem was solved by flash upgrading my Bios, the alternative was a new m/b. The problem is listed and explained in more detail in Microsofts W2K FAQ. Hope this helps Alan |

Sorry! the OS I had this problem with was XP Pro, not W2K Pro. Maybe they are both similar in this respect? Alan |
