Defrag that puppy and clean the registry.Usually fixes any xp related software issue.Weird that it only locks up at a certain time.Leads me to believe there is something else scheduled at that time like antivirus or spyware autoupdate or windows update enabled to run in the background.Check in Add/remove programs for anything installed you may not recognize and uninstall it.Sometimes certain tasks running in the background search for updates on schedules.Check what programs are running in the task bar (run:msconfig/startup) and see what programs are running.Also check service in the msconfig menu.Check the box and hide microsoft services and see what other services are running.
