I've got a new comp I've just built, which suffers from random freezing.
Time between freezing can be anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours
(never more). It can happen at any time - listening to music, playing a
game, watching a movie, navigating through windows, or just idling (i should
add - the quickest way to get the freeze is while idling, with the slowest
while doing something intensive, such as playing a game).
I've been reading tons of newsgroups on people who have this problem, with a
similar setup to mine (dual core, 2GB RAM,MCE, GeForce 7800, Tv Tuner, Asus
A8N-Sli Premium, etc..)
It seems to be a common problem with dual core machines, but whereas most
people solve it by something with drivers (reverting to older nvidia ones, or
the ones released last week, an updated bios), or a psu not providing enough
power, none of this has worked for me.
I recently got the MS hotfix for dual core cpu's, to no avail.
At this point, i THINK i've tried everything under the sun, but I'm sure
open to any advice anyone may have, particularily if it has to do with
windows and something i've missed - though anything else will certainly help!
(For the record, this was a clean install, and i've run chkdsk and so forth).
Thanks!
