Computer freezes after being idle (e520)
Hello everyone,
I received a Dell Dimension e520 a week ago and I noticed that if I let the computer be for some time, (half-hour or overnight), whenever I come back, I can move the mouse but 3 seconds later everything freezes. I played with the screensaver, power off, stand by options but it didn'T change anything (even if I disabled them all).
What could be the problem here?
Thank you
Frederik

Ok, I've tried different setups and let my computer idle for a while and I couldn't get one specific thing that causes the freezing... Now, I've got everything plugged in and it didn't freeze yet after three times that I let it idle.
The one thing that is weird though is that sometimes, when I leave my computer idle and close my monitor, my keyboard and my mouse that are connected to the monitor usb hub, don't work and get no power when I open my monitor back up. The system is still working, the screensaver is still running but I can't get my mouse nor my keyboard to work even if I plug them into any other USB port.
I then have to press the power butting which closes the Windows and I can see that all my windows are still open and running before it completes the shutdown like it would've been done using the Windows start button.
So I guess something is wrong with the USB ports or seomthing... Anything that can fix this?
Thank you
Frederik
