    I have an old T22 that I use in the shop and it has suddenly deicded to lock up after a few minutes

    What I know besides Iam and idiot

    It doesn't do it just with battery
    It does if you take battery out and leave power on.
    There is no virus, registry is clean, hard drive is defragged
    I've been getting erroneous messages to eject the CD drive
    It seems to take a while longer to boot up and the hard drive runs a lot. But it always boots.

    Its a plain jane 384 ram, 20 gig HD and a Belkin wifi card.

    Thanks

    On a side note I thought I shut it down last night but evidently not and it was at the desktop all night. i was just notified that the Virus software had updated which surprised me :)

    No programs running and it has not locked up. Got a place where one could start looking . It hasn't mattered what program was running before.

    If somebody can help
    I got this thing down to something to do with the power. It runs fine on battery but when you plug in the AC it ain't long before it locks up. I tried a different different PS and it took longer to lock up but still did.
    Any idea what I'm looking for here
