I have an nt 4 server on a Compaq machine and have the following problem.

If I leave the machine idle after a while it freezes and the mouse wont move,then the machine is unusable.

If I press the power switch in and touch the keyboard it unfreezes.

I thought it could be the hard drive turning off but I am unable to find the power settings.

Any ides anyone?

Send a message via AIM to mosquito
First check if there are IRQ problems. If not, disable all powermanagement in the bios, and see if the problem remains.

but you are dealing with a compaq here, so good luck (you will need it)

Could also be a bad power supply.
