Hi all,

I have a new ASUS system, Core 2 Duo with 2 gig DDR RAM, 256 xfxforce
PCIexpress video and Vista Ultimate installed on a brand new SATA HDD.

I, too, am getting regular system freezes. Anything can trigger it - video,
sound even loading a web page in IE can cause the system to lock up for 30
seconds or longer.

I am able to intervene by repeatedly pressing any key (usually the DEL key)
until I get things back.

It's really annoying and looking around the Internet and this newsgroup here
it is plainly obvious that this is an issue.

Trouble is, nobody is offering any serious solutions beyond updating drivers
etc. - all of which I have done. From what I can see, a lot of people are
winding back to XP.

I bought this system and spec'd it up to specifically run Vista. It'd be a
shame to go back to XP but reliability is more important to me than
functionality.

Am I missing any steps here?? Is there a simple solution?
