Mike,

Did you have this problem before the install of S&T 2k5? You could test
your theory by uninstalling and see if it resolves the problem.

Mike, don't get me wrong here. It is possible that you do have a hardware
issue given the age of the unit. However, go through as much of the
software as your willing to see if it is software related. The ultimate
test would be to again hard-reset, not install any applications, and see if
it continues to lock up. If you have just the default install on the unit,
that will tell you real quick if it is something deeper (hardware).

Regards,
