Desktop Frozen but Active
I have a strange issue whereby if I leave my desktop for a long period of time, say an hour or more, then when I return the desktop is frozen. I usually am able to wiggle the mouse after a few tries, but often times thats all that responds. Other times a wait of up to 5 minutes will be sufficient for the desktop to become responsive again. Now for the strange part...... the computer is is on a LAN and all of the other networked computers can access all of the shared drives on the PC without a hiccup while its desktop is frozen as they normally would.
I've considered it might be some type of power saving glitch, but the fact that other PC's get to the drives steers me away from that. I have tried the {shift x 5} trick, but it works only sometimes, most times not.
I only noticed this behavior after I installed the graphics card listed.
EVGA 01G-P3-N945-LR GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card
Any ideas?
