I just upgraded almost everything in my PC and every since I did my system
will hang for no particular reason, or time period. I will post my specs and
hope someone may have an answer.

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Intel Pentium D 3.2 Dual Core cpu
Nvidia Nforce 790I Ultra SLI motherboard
EVGA Geforce 9800 GX2 Video
Creative X-FI Xtreme Fatality Sound
4 GB (2x2048) OCZ 1800 mhz DDr3 memory
Water cooled
Basic DVD rw
Sata Hard Drive.

Everything is brand new except for the cpu, dvd, and hard drive.



Thank you all for your help

Look in Event Viewer and use Vista's built-in troubleshooting tools to
search for clues. On the software side, make sure you have the latest Vista
drivers for all your hardware. On the hardware side, test the hard drive
and the RAM. Also check your cooling. I understand that you have
water-cooling, but hard lockups like you describe are often caused by
overheating.

Are you overclocking? If you are, have you tried dropping down to supported
clock speeds?
