Using XP Pro SP 2 on P4 Assus MoBo.

When I set Turn Off Hard Disks at 30 minutes
of inactivity, the system will eventually freeze
up either with the desktop in view, or later
with a blank screen. When I hit Reset, it reboots
but does not go thru Scandisk.

If I go back in as set Turn Off Hard Disks to Never,
no freeze.

What should I be looking at?? Hardware or XP??

can be a conflict between bios "power saving" and windows "power saving".
