I purchased a new PC with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I had the usual
problems installing applications and devices (no Vista compatible drivers
etc.). I keep running Windows Update to ensure I have the latest patches etc,
but my main issue is with the PC freezing without knowing why. The PC froze a
couple of times in the first few days but I assumed this was due to the poor
performance of the on-board graphics, so I installed an ATI Radion AGP 256mb
card, which improved boot up etc. but I still get a system freeze when
initiating certain applications e.g. games, sometimes when opening IE7,
sometimes when running a scan with Norton 2007. The system freezes, I can't
access with ctrl/alt/del, the HD light freezes in whatever state it was in
(access or not), It is really frustrating - any idea's?
Thanks!
