Random Computer freezing

[jemaho]

Here's my problem, I have upgraded my system to a more Vista Conform
one:
New parts:
- MSI motherboard AMD S-AM2 K9VGM-V (north: Via K8M890, South: Via
VT8237a) See website for all details.
- Graphic Card ASUS EN6200TC 512MB
- AMD Athlon S-AM2 XP3500+ 64 Bits BOX
- DDR II 1024mb CL4 533mhz -PC2-4300 AENON

[u:60318e9b65]Parts from the old config left:[/u:60318e9b65]

Alimentation 350 Watts (Q-TEC PSU 350w ATX 2.0)
- Disque Dur Seagate 200 gigas-7200RPM (on IDE 0 as master)
- DVD Pioneer 106-D (on IDE 1 as master)
- DVD Pioneer 110-D (on IDE 0 as slave)
- CD-Burner Samsung (on IDE 1 as slave)

The all is turning on Vista Ultimate 32bits (which might be important
to say)
The base of the problem is that my system is now randomly freezing,
really randomly, no matter if a program is open or if the system is in
idle state.
What I've been doing until now is the following:
-Go back to the reseller who mounted the new parts as they are on
guarantee, he benchmarked all new parts and didn't see problems.
-I've updated all drivers to the newest ones straight from MSI's
website.
Still, randomly it freezes.

The weird thing is that I tested for 2 days the 64bits of Vista
Ultimate (which has an outstanding driver package built-in) and never
encounter one single freezing).

Maybe someone with more knowledge then me will be able to help me out,
'cos I'm kinda regretting this update now.

PS: a superPI mod32 failed once after the third loop, but then
succeeded in 00h 40m 02s for the 24 loops, if it can help to seek the
problem.
Also my processor is not correctly recognized by Windows Vista= Model

Do you have the whole hard drive partitioned and formatted? I ask because
that was a freezing broblem sourse for me one time. I installed Windows XP
on a 200 gig drive and it only used the first 120 something and left the
rest twisting in the wind.
