Hello!

My vista computer (not the one I am building at the moment) has recently (as of 2 or 3 days ago) started freezing. Sometime after a few minutes on the computer, sometimes straight away & sometime only after a few hours.

^My specs. (I'm pretty sure it's up to date, I have 7600GS Graphics Card, 80GB Harddrive, Windows Vista Ultimate)

The only software that I have installed recently was about a week ago, and that was just the new version of msn (and the mess patch, and msgplus patch).

Please help me out here.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

If you run the box in safe mode for awhile, does it hang then? Also, describe "hang" - does it just stop responding to keyboard / mouse input, can you not move the mouse cursor, can you ping it (or not) from another box, etc?

Can't do anything.

I will try NMapping it though... see if it works.

Please try running in safe mode as well for awhile too, to see if it happens there as well.

^Okay, although, the freezing hasn't happened for a while now....

Did you fool around with your bios settings?

^Hehe... maybe...

I gave up with Vista.

I put XP on my new laptop and everything is great again. Vista sucks.

That's too bad, sorry to hear that. What was the laptop vendor and the hardware, if you don't mind me asking?
