dont get me wrong im no computer noob i built this machine 5 years ago or so. its a Abit VT7 motherboard with a gig of ram a AGP Geforce6200 vid card and it passed Geek Squads hardware diagnostic with flying colors.so i thought it was software, i did bios flash, i did complete fresh install on the Computer and still my Computer solid state freezes with no error given, fresh Xp install, passed extensive hardware test , what can still be causing the freezes and how do i find out?

So right now there is nothing "added" to it, it is a fresh install so i do not know what to remove to make it stop freezing, all the drivers are up to date, if it is a driver causing the problem how do i know which one?

just go to safe mode
Safe mode will often allow you to get the computer up and running with minimum drivers so you can reinstall or uninstall a program that is causing the problem, run scan-disk or some other utility. If you know what you did just before it crashed you may be able to undo it such as change some settings under control panel.
Computer freeze always caused by a corrupt registry, you can download a PC cleasner.

You did not mention this, so I have to ask… Does it freeze in Protected mode?
Analyze how "frozen" it is. Keyboard and mouse almost certainly, but is the CPU frozen too? If you have a programmable power switch (that is, on Windows there’s the option to give the power switch shutdown capability rather than shut-off), see if that works. If it does it might give you a chance to at least close things properly, as well as telling you that it’s not the CPU that’s frozen.
And if it’s not the CPU, then you’re probably looking at an interrupt problem. Wired USB mice in particular can develop intermittent opens in the cable that make the machine look frozen. Sometimes unplugging them and replugging them wakes things up for a while.
Those are some thoughts. Hope they help.
