Computer locks up

On an increasingly random and intermittant schedule my monitor screen goes entirely grey and the computer reacts to no commands at all. The only thing I can do is turn off the computer and then turn it back on again. Any ideas as to problem and more importantly solution?

    2 possibility. ( i am hardware tech)

    1) the video card is having problem.
    - Downgrade ur resolution to 640x480 and 256 color if possible.
    - update latest video card drivers (dell.com)

    2) Monitor problem.
    - when the problem happens, try turn off ur monitor, unplug the cable connect to the PC (w/o shutting off system) and wait for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and see it works. if it does, then ur monitor might have problems.

    good luck.
