Hiya,
I'm new to the forums, had a browse and couldn't find anything obvious answering my problem, so apologies if this sort of thing has been solved before.
I have recently put together a new rig (I have been building my own rigs for like the last 15 years):
Intel i7 965 3.2Ghz CPU
Thermalright 120 ultra CPU cooler
12 GB OCZ DDR3 memory 1866MHz
MSI X58 Eclipse Mobo
2 Zotac 295GTX Video cards
4 Samsung 23" monitors
1Tb Samsung sata F1 HD
Benq DVD Burner
Antec 1200 gaming case
Coolermaster 1kw PSU
I left all the standard bios setting and haven't been doing any overclocking.
I clean installed Windows Vista 64bit version and it gives me really really slow booting (~1 min 10s to even get to the login icon). Then when I finally get in, most apps (eg explorer, internet explorer etc) freeze up with the blue spinning circle for 15mins - 30mins, some for up to 2 or 3 hours. The apps then work normally for a minute or so and then freeze up again.
So I formatted the HD and clean installed Windows Vista 32 and the PC boots in 13secs to the logni icon and the same apps work instantly and don't freeze at all.
So thinking I got unlucky I went back to re-format/re-install a clean Windows Vista 64 but I am getting the same slow problems.
I would very much like to run the 64 bit version so if anyone can suggest a solution or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh last night I also installed the lastest Intel Inf updates but this hasn't helped.
I saw in some previous posts that the eventwvr can help point me to bootup problems, so I will try that tonight... any ideas what am I looking for? But I am guessing this won't help with the slow response after it has booted.
Also I checked task manager processes and ram is at 10% usage and cpu is 80-90% system idle.
many many thanks in advance for any ideas
