Start>Run>enter "regedit"> in the lefthand window go to HKEY CURRENT USER>Control Panel>Desktop>in the R/H window find "AutoEndTasks">double click and change the value from "0" to "1".

Might work and won't hurt.

Good strategy. Especially when we only have limited information to diagnose the problem.

Working on the ole post count, ya know.could be video card drivers in that case.:)

When exactly did the problem start?

What did you install just before that?

Is there a program that you run when you "leave my PC on for a long period of time"?

Something that you don't normally start when using it for a short time.

Try rebooting.

Don't run that program and reboot again.

Does the problem happen?

Now run that program for 5 to 10 minutes and then reboot again.

Does the problem happen?



Keep doing this with whatever you think could be the problem program until you find which one causes the problem.

Once you do then uninstall that program and look for a newer version or something else that serves the same purpose.
