Its Windows 2000 on this particular machine. I plan on trying to unhook the DVD drive and seeing what happens.

I know all of the software on the machine (and the processes). In fact, I have reloaded the OS from scrach since the problem has started, and it hasn't changed anything.

Its so hit and miss that I can go a week or two without it happening, then have it happen three times in a day. Going without the drive for over a week will be hard.

One thing that crossed my mind is that it could possibly be the power supply. This machine is pretty loaded. However, I have removed a 30Gb IDE hard drive recently and it still will lock occasionally.
