Duncan,
Sis 661 FX Chipset
'661FM2' for Intel Pent 4 Processors.
512MB RAM
Win XP service pack 3 (genuine owner)
2.8 Ghz Intel Celeron processor..
Just to eliminate a few other suggestions earlier in the
thread I have so far:
1.Run the PC direct from the power point instead of
on a 4-way powerboard.
2.Changed the laser mouse over to another mouse
No freezes so far but it's only run for maybe an hour
since I did those.

TBH mate, from those specs i would be thinking about upgrading your rig anyway, i know its not old in the grand scheme of things, but the average life expectancy of a mother/circuit board is around 5 years. but fainling that, things i would try.
BIOS upgrade, maybe a flash to the BIOS might help
reset BIOS, quite often resetting the BIOS can help, this is just usually as simlpe as reseating a jumper on the board.
new CMOS battery, after it boots, has it lost any settings? time and date?
Reseating the M/board - i have seen things like this in the past caused by bad earths with internal equipment
Change the CAS and TRAS settings on the memory, if the RAM has issues, downclocking it so to speak, can make it more stable.
Or use the excuse to treat yourself to some new hardware !!
