My problem has been solved but it (and the solution!) may be of relevance to others.
Problem occured with
-------------------------
MOBO: Asus P5RD1-V Deluxe
Graphics: Novatech GeForce 6600LE 256MB PCI-E DVI/TVO
System would freeze completely (screen locks, no mouse, no keyboard, sound stutters if it was playing - NOT A BLUE SCREEN)
Also, sometimes, no video signal for POST/bios screens - video would kick in when windows booted up.
Both problems were intermittent and hard to predict.
SOLUTION!
-------------
Bios was updated/flashed from bios rev.0707 to bios rev. 0907. See ASUS website for details. Dont forget there is a risk involved in flashing the BIOS.
Hope this helps someone - its a karma thing!
