Hi, Im new here, as i only just got vista 64!
My vista keeps locking up after various amounts of time, no matter whether its just idling, or im making the computer work hard.
As ive read on other topics, I think its a driver issue, but I just dont know what to do. I will try another fresh vista install tomorrow and get the vista updates quickly to see whether that helps the situation. I have ensured it isnt overheating like it did initially when I bought the system, and it is now a safe and low temperature in a running state.
Also, it only detects 3.5Gb of the 4Gb of RAM I have in my system.
PC Spec:
Asus M2N32-SLI-Wireless Edition
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ 3.2Ghz, Black Edition
XFX GeForce 8800GT, 512MB RAM
4Gb Corsair (4x1Gb) XMS2-6400
600W Power Supply
Windows Vista Home Premium x64
Any help would be much appreciated!
**EDIT**
Ive re-installed, windows, and it froze after I installed the chipset driver. I contiuned, and found a sound driver wasnt digitally signed. However it still crashes. I have got the latest drivers for it. For it to crash, all i did was open recycle bin, from idle state. Its driving me maaaaaaaad! Could it be a memory problem?
