So I put together my new computer last night (e8400, 8800gt, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD etc...) and now I have some questions. I installed vista, (yes, I pulled out 2GB of ram as I've read here) and now everything is.... mostly running. I haven't used vista before, but is it normal to have programs crashing randomly? Granted, I was multitasking (installing stuff/ music/ internet) But about every 15 minutes I'd get a visual c++ assertation (sp?) failure pop up, where I'd say retry and it would not come back for a bit more. sometimes programs would crash seemingly for no reason. Is vista really that unstable, or is something wrong with my installation. I just have nothing to compare it with to find out for myself.
