Bump again I seriously can't take this shit.
Anyone know of a different operating system that I can download and stick on this thing to see if I still have problems? Preferably free.
I want to fuck Soulkey with a Zelderan.

It doesn't pause up while running in Safe-Mode? This might indicate that some of your driver files are messing up your computer, but to find which one is time consuming.

Most operating systems are free if obtained by questionably legal methods...

Ubuntu Linux would be a good shot to throw on there, its fairly user friendly. If you're not really comfortable with Linux, just download a copy of pirated Windows XP to try out.

Since its a new computer, I assume you have the recovery cd? The troubleshooting method that I would do is:

1) Reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 7 to see if its a software issue

2) If that doesn't work, install Windows XP, but make sure you have all the drivers beforehand, so you can get online and running right away.

If that still doesn't work, then its most likely a hardware issue, and you'll have to swap out things, or take it in to a computer repair shop if you don't have the expertise.

Edit: I'll try to follow the thread, but if you want more help feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the reply meeple.

I thought it was a driver issue but I went to the websites of all my hardware manufacturers and downloaded each current file for my operating system (Windows 7). The only one that I don't have up-to-date is my motherboard/processor one (Fuck if I remember which, it came with a CD and when I put it in it says only WinXP then freezes). But I am noticing more and more that the more activity I do on my computer the more likely it is to freeze. However, I have more than enough ram and the computer isn't even close to overheating so I dunno.

On the plus side I found a cool website though: http://www.boys-island.net/

Have you noticed an increase in cpu activity when it freezes? Even if you can't get to task manager, the computer will "sound" like its working hard. The fan will go on and harddrive will spin.

And when I said it could be a driver problem, I meant more that Windows 7 is relatively new, and how it reacts with all drivers isn't exactly tried and true, it might not be that its not the latest version, but just the fact that you have the driver there thats causing the problem. To check this you would need to go to the Hardware wizard in the control panel and exhaustively disable all the drivers to test.

I was going to say this. New drivers don't always mean compatible/working drivers. In safe mode you can stop a lot of processes (I believe you can control this in msconfig) so if there is a change in your computer performance then it's easier to identify problems. It's also better to run virus scans in safe mode.

Well that takes away the possibility of using the warranty. Let us know what you try and the outcome...

Should be using a 64-bit OS. 32-bit can only address around 3.2~ gigs of memory at any time. That's why it only says you have 3.25 effective. Are you still having freezing issues? Can you tell me what your other specs are?

To use over 3.25 gb of RAM you need a 64bit enabled operating system and a 64bit enabled processor. Most new processors are 64bit enabled so maybe your OS is the 32 bit version.
