Hey peeps,

have to restart and then works fine til it idles for a long time again..

ideas?

thanks
 
USB keyboard and mouse?

look for USB Selective Suspend Setting in power options.
sometimes the manufacturer of said items has a workaround or patch.
 
I'm worried that its the GPU memory. Until the latest beta gpu drivers I installed, the display driver would constantly crash. That seems to have stopped, but I still get a system lockup after idle.
 
Right click Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Startup and Recovery and check if write an event to the system log is enabled, enable if it isn't. Also in the same window check that Write debugging is set to kernel memory dump.
When the lockup happens again open Event Viewer and check for errors before the lockup. Also check under C:\Windows\minidump\ if there is a file created before the lockup. If there is upload it and maybe someone who knows how to read the minidumps can take a look at it.
