Num lock freezed after system post, OR num-lock indicator on keyboard 
lights and stays lit??
Ordinarily, CAPs/NUM/SCROLL indicators flash in unison once or twice as 
visual indication of successful POST test of motherboard. If "lock up" 
comes after successful "POST", then possibly IDE cable, CPU fan (length 
of time to CPU overheat once started?), ...
