Power Supply
I have a 235w Power Supply running AMD Athlon 1. 2ghz on Windows 2000 Pro. When I'm doing straneous windows tasks within windows(file transfers, etc) my Computer freezes, no mouse movement, I see the mouse, and everything on the screen.

It's your power supply. Get at least a 300 watter, AMD approved.
Get a new one and then come back if the problems persist.

That power supply is too weak to use with Athlons and more than 2 IDE drives and floppy and a few cards. Seriously, that power supply is probably your biggest problem. You'll need a bigger one for future use anyway.
I have a Geforce2 mx400 32mb Video card with a Creative Labs 1370 Sound card. It screams in games, but whenever I'm doing windows work, it will freeze like I said. Never fails. When I'm doing a download larger than 3 megs (over dialup), it will freeze up.
I'll buy a new power supply next week then.
Thanks all
