Freezes after a few hours of inactivity
I installed Win7 on 20th and all seemed OK. I left it on overnight and in the morning it was locked. The clock showed it had stopped at 02:21.
I could select icons on the desktop, but not activate them.
The task bar would not scroll up.
An open sticky note could be selected but when I clicked on the text, the text just disapeared.
So...
Not completely dead, but completely useless.
I powered off.
After reboot a number of items were missing from the desktop including Network, PC and a few other icons. Also the CD & DVD drives were no longer recognised.
-----
I got it all going again, performed an orderly shutdown and rebooted.
This morning, same again (clock frozen at 06:03 this time). Everything selectable but nothing actually works.
-----
Powered off, rebooted, all OK (as far as I can see )
Any ideas, suggestions (other than turn it off at night) would be most welcome.
