I *had* a 900 Select that did the same exact thing.  After I formatted and
reinstalled the OS
it still locked up, couldn't even ctl-alt-del, had to power off.  This
occurred when I put in audio CDs just as Media Player 7 started, it also
happened with Encarta and other CDs.

To make a long story short, I took a $100 beating and sent the whole system
back before my 30 days was up.  I don't have the time or patience to trouble
shoot a PC with problems that occur right out of the box.  I'll buy another
Gateway system after MS releases the first service pack and when the systems
with the new AMD AthlonT processor, AMD chipset, and new DDR SDRAM memory
become available.  Those Micron towers look mighty good, it's too bad you
can't get one without having to wait 2 or more months.
