G'day all,
I've been running Win7 32 bit release client since it came out, have had a full copy of 64 bit sitting around for a while (free from University) which I finally got around to installing a couple of nights ago. Ever since I installed it (did a format then reinstall) I've had heaps of problems with it.
Several times it has frozen up with no response, looping the last half a second pre-freeze sound over and over again (sounds like a bloody chainsaw), requiring turning off at the button. It seems this happens when running Windows Media Center more often than anything else (using it to watch TV via Winfast PVR DTV2000 H plus).
Then it freezes up windows quite often. When I stuck in a 16gb Patriot USB stick in it'd freeze the explorer window after a few seconds, giving an error then closing it. It also does this for my new Saitek Cyborg Evo Force joystick, when I open the properties/settings window, it tends to freeze it and close it. Both devices were working fine before, and seem to be working on my other computer no troubles.
I'm running an E6600 at stock speed on a 965P-DS3-rev3.3, 8800GTS 320mb, 2GB 667MHz cheapo ram of unknown maker (could probably crack it open and check, but I just bought it because it was cheap, not becaue it was special), 500GB western digital drive with a 320GB secondry drive (Seagate barracuda I believe, again, its been in there a long time and I dont remember). Nothing is overclocked, its running on a 500W Earthwatts and its been running fine for the past 2 and a half years.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
