Re: Computer freezes after idle time.

So what are you saying? My system didn't crash. It works fine...until it is
idle for an hour or two...then it freezes up. You are suggesting a system
failure....I don't have that ( I hope)

Hi Manny,
What do you mean by system backup? I back up my data files weekly...

You should have been using an imaging program such as Acronis True
Image to backup your entire system to either a second internal hard
drive or an external USB drive.

If you don't have that, you might be up that proverbial creek:

Other than that, I have no words of wisdom to offer you.

Sorry.

Hi, this happened out of the blue Thursday. When my Vista Home Premium-SP1,
is idle for awhile, the computer freezes... the screen is a grayish color and
the mouse circle just keeps twirling. I have to manually re-boot.
Everything is fine until I leave and come back...and it is frozen again. I
cannot ctrl-alt-delete either. When I went to do a system restore, I saw
that all my restore points were gone. How could this have happened? I
thought maybe a windows update could be the source so I uninstalled the many
updates ( approx. 25)....the next morning , I saw they had all returned even
though I have it set not to download automatically. I am hoping that someone
here has a solution for this bizarre behavior. Please help.
Thank you !!
Eileen

Of course, you don't have any system backups to fall back on... right?
