Machine freezes, The monitor is dark, cpu fan is running. Have to hard boot (reset) Then it will startup and run until next time.

Power supply problems? If so, tips on troulbeshooting?

Approx: 1 yr old P-3 chip running win2k

1 non-system program running 24-7,

No software orhardwarechanges

Very little activity in front of the machine.
 
Sorry, That should read: No Software or Hardware changes
 
Depending on the hardware, I would expect that you have a video problem. Particularly the graphics processor.
You could restrict airflow around it to see if it causes it to fail sooner or more often.
