Machine Freezes - Vista Business
We have a Vostro 220s running Vista Business connected to an LCD in one of our meeting rooms. This seems to freeze whilst using it at regular intervals.
Looking at the system event log just prior to the freezing gives no clues.
I've ran Memtest86 for an entire weekend with no issues what so ever.
The PC isn't inside a cabinet / doesn't have it's vents blocked or anything.
I tried running OCCT which stated it could only run for CPU, so I tried this for a weekend too - the machine froze at around midnight on Friday, what I did see of the test looked fine though.
Does anyone have any other clues, besides attempting a reformat (which I may do just to eliminate it, despite the fact I think it's hardware).
Cheers.

@LordBean - I shall check that when I get a chance - I'd be very surprised if it's anything but the default settings from Dell. I'm the only one with admin rights on that machine and I have not tinkered with it.
(The PC is often in use, if its not, the meeting room is! - I seldom get a look in!)
It's looking more and more like a rebuild is in order - the various hardware tests have not thrown up any errors :/
