    I would like to pick the brains of all on here to see if I can get a really frustrating problem fixed asap.
    Everytime I go from page to page on the Net or walk away from the computer for more than a few minutes I have to keep clicking Control-Alt-Delete to get any response from my PC.

    A little more information would be helpful :)

    You say you have to Ctr+Alt+Del, is this because your PC is unresponsive?

    Does it show any software "Not Responding"?

    Do you have power and/or screensaver options switch on?

    What hardware do you have? (cpu, ram etc)

    What Operating System are you using?

    What happend just before this started? (installation/removal of hardware/software, virus detection etc)

    Do you use Cleaning software such as Ccleaner etc?

    Sounds to me like you either have too heavy a load on your hardware (possibly recently cause by Hardware failure) but more likely that you are either bogged down or have some form of Virus/Malware or a conflict somewhere.
