Power saving mode (pc freezes)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a problem with my Dell Desktop, 2.6 Ghz CPU, 80gig harddrive, XP Pro,
512 Mb ram, NTFS format, flat panel (PC is about one year old). The drive is
only 27% disk space full. The PC randomly goes into "power savng mode"
frozen. I downloaded the driver for the flat panel monitor from Dell's
support site, did not help. I went into the Power Management applet, checked
"never" (meaning do not go to standby mode), did not help. I ran the Dell
diagnostic test utility (before it booted into Windows), the test all shown
OK (including memory, cache, disk, controllers). What is causing the PC to
go into "power saving mode" (in essence, frozen)? I have to "cold boot"
(press the power supply off, and back on, but even then, it goes into power
saving mode). I tried to reboot to Safe Mode, sometimes during rebooting, it
goes into "power saving mode", frozen. Help....
