Computer Stops working after 2 hours of me being afk?

[Dingas]

I run seti@home, and if I leave, after about 2 hours i get nothing completed.... My computer does not go to standbye, since I have it disabled. Im running win2k, anyone have any ideas of what my comp is doing?
Thanks

Depending on what board you have, it might be APM, rather than ACPI that shuts down your PC.

Esp. with W2K make sure that APM is turned off in the BIOS, W2K doesn't get along with APM well at all.

Other than the "idle" shutdown, your system runs stabily, yes? No unexpected reboots under heavy load or anything?

Some more system specs pls .
