Mysterious Hang & lock ups on my XP Home

[Carl]

I continue to suffer from intermittant although now more
frequent screen "hangs" and system lock ups. The screen
hangs keyboard mouse etc all non responsive. All I can do
is a hard re-boot. On re-boot I get no error mesages or
scandisk activity. Previously I was advised to check the
event viewer this suggested some problems with Zone Alarm
& Win Amp now since removed. Event viewer gives me no
idea what is causing the "hangs" the event ID's always
come back with "No more info found" which seems to make
the whole thing useless! Please can anyone siggest how I
can interrogate or set up a warning when
these "unexplaned" crashes occur. Thanx in advance for
any help. Yours gratefully - Carl
