Hey guys, Yep i've finally had vista freeze (been using since nov) but i have no idea what is up.
I installed it on my brothers computer:
A64 2800 sk 754
1.5GB ram
80GB WD SATA
Geforce FX5800
Gigabyte K8NS Pro mobo
DVD drive
He wanted it so i went out and got it for him and split his hard drive into two partitions with XP getting 27GB and Vista getting around 50GB for a dual boot setup.
It installs fine but on first boot when you put in the account name and set the background, after that when it tests your computer for the Windows Experience Index thing, it freezes.. Reboot and it goes through the first boot thing again and freezes. So the next boot it just skips it and drops me at the logon screen with the two accounts i made.
So i go into one and start setting everything up, aero wasnt on so i turned it on, works fine. installed iTunes which didnt install right along with everything else i try to install.
So i reformat the Vista partition and install it again. Same thing happens at first boot. But besides that it runs fine with the installing problem gone. But now it freezes randomly all the time. No BSOD, it just freezes. I dont know what to do, it runs perfectly fine then just freezes..
Any help?
