I just recently put together my new system. The specs are as per sig minus one thing, I didn't realize the Scythe Ninja heatsink/fan wouldn't fit real well with the mobo I chose but it's ok because even with the default heatsink/fan that came with the cpu I'm getting cpu temps of 37 to 38 degrees celsius so it's all good as far as that is concerned.
My problem, however, is that Vista has been pretty unstable ever since I installed it on this new system. This last weekend is when I set this pc up and I have since had no less then 10 BSOD's and I have yet to be able to do a normal shutdown and restart. For some reason at seemingly random times the whole system simply locks up. I thought at one time that maybe something was just using system resources making it appear extremely slow so I left it in it's locked up state for over an hour and nothing changed.
I will say that the lock ups have been getting fewer and farther between than when I was initially installing all the things I had on my previous XP box but they are still happening. I really like Vista but I have to admit it's a bit frustrating because in all the time I had XP, even before SP2 came out for it, I had maybe 2 BSOD's. I'm not about to go back to XP because I really like what I've seen and done with Vista so far but it would be nice to figure out why it's locking up.
Sorry, I wasn't sure if this should go in Operating Systems or General Hardware so I posted here. I haven't overclocked yet because I want the system to be as stable as it can be at default specs first. Once I get it that way I just might do some overclocking but that will be a first for me.
