Vista - Vista Crash/Freeze from fresh installation -_-;;

03-17-2008

After a fresh installation of Vista Home Premium, my pc freezes randomly. If
i decide to wait it out it magically unfreezes but this is a constant habit.
It leaves the pc clock frozen at the time of the freeze. Suprisingly it lets
me play full screen games but nothing else. Reinstalled multiple times,
downloaded all updates with no change. Perhaps my motherboard isnt
compatible? or my graphics card is just dumb? :S any help would be much
appreciated.

Foxconn RC4107MA-RS2 Motherboard
Intel 3.4ghz Dual Core Processor
Nvidia 7600GT Graphics Card (256mb)
1gb RAM

Goto www.foxconnchannel.com and download all teh latest drivers and re-apply
all, restart and see if this helps.

You might check in Task Manager to see if one of your cores is spiking to
100% while the other has spare capacity. Make sure to change view to show
both cores and if so, you may be able to change the affinity for some apps
to compensate. Vista has this problem on my machine with many apps running
where XP did a better job of allocating.

Foxconn doesnt really have an updated bios for my motherboard, it has all
sorts of different things i can flash it for but none make any sense to me..
nothing along the lines of a clear useful bios update anyway

I downloaded the "multi meter" gadget for my sidebar, it shows little core
percentage use each and about 50% ram use....

Use what you want, but in task manager I show spikes to 100% that never show
up on Gadgets.
